wouldn't it be the best thing you ever
heard of for the clubs in all the big
four organizations TO have a big base
ball parade and invite all the iRde-
pendent clubs to take part in il, toA?"
This was a question recently asked
by an officer of one of the leagues
and when you come to think Of it,
wouldn't It be fine thing?
All the clubs would have a chance
to see each other at one time, whether
they have met on the diamond during
the season or not, and the chances
are everybody would have the time Of
their lives.
If this idea strikes the club manag-
ers favorably there is no doubt that

Some years ago very few major

not a club In either of the major

OF the big league teams depends on

This was the day that he had fol-

arose. startled at Stanton's appearance.
