buying up players the year round. To-
day every minor league player Who is
at all promising, probably is bought up

began to>disintegrate and several minor
league team owners cast their hooks
for the best players, only to find that
every man worth anything had been
pre-empted by major league team.

St. Joseph Gazette: The Jobbers' mas
cots nearly got our goat yesterday. And
as the Jobbers' mascots are a pair or
bull pups, what they wouldn't have
done to Booster wouldn't have been
much. During the first part of the
game Booster was under the grand
stand. After the Jobbers had made
four runs it was deemed advisable to
bring the goat forth. Joe Galgano
went after him, and passed in front
of the Wichita bench, where the dogs
were tied When they saw the goat
the bull pups mad a rush, breaking
their chains. They reached the goat
and for the next five minutes all that
could be seen was Galgano, pups and
goat going around in a circle. Batter.
umpire and catcher had gone. A cou-
pile of the Wichita players finally pull
ed their dogs away and the goat was
led to the Drummers' bench, where he
was kept during the rest Of the game.

concerned, do not permit major
league team to draft more than one
man from any one team, and the loss
of no one man can ruin any team. To
protect himself. the minor league man
ager is forced to sell his best players.
and thus his team is riddled once a
year through the operation of the So
called protective law. 1t does not hap
pen that the minor league manager can
easily recover the lost strength in play
ers. Every time a minor league team
sends a player to the major it is the
best man, while every time a major
goes to the minors it is the poorest
man. The minors, of course, have the
bushes as a last resource. This is a
situation that could and should be cor
rected by little wise and sincere leg
is1ation, but it is not likely to come
about, for it does not suit the rapacious
desires of the majors.
