CINCINNATI, ohio, Sept. H.
Members Of the National Base
ball Commission have decided that
payment OF the draft money for
players drafted from the Ameri-
can Association Will not be made
until after the clubs Of that or

OF remaining In organized base

by that time, organized baseball
will prepare to place clubs In

which are not under the protsc-

not afford to Jeopardlze their n

In all probability, II the Association
decides on war, II will refuse to make
It's declaration until IL has several
stars signed up, and can start its cam
paign with a rush.
Several OF the National league
clubs have seen the possibility OF
storm and have been at work, sign
Ing up their men TO long-term con-
tracts. The American leaguars have
not acted in this line TO any marked
extent.
In Detroit, President Navln has
done nothing Of the sort, his belief
being that the Association has really
no idea OF making war.
In all probability. Mr.. Navin Will
make no attempt to line up his men
until well along In the winter. The
personnel OF his club is subject to
great change-greater than In recent
years. Also. the team has reached
the stage where a general readjust-

The object of the National Com
mission In trying to secure from the
association a declaration of inten-
tons by Sept 10, Is undoubtedly for
the purpose OF soaring the Associa-
ton into line before the chance OF
revolt works havoc in the ranks OF
the players and makes II impossible
for the big leagues TO sign up their
players at the present scale.
II there IL chance OF war, the
players will assuredly hang out

younger players who have made good
are In line for raises. Gamer, Bau-
man, Drake, Works, Covington and
Lafitte are included In this list. Some
OF them will be eligible TO almost
twice their present stipend. Oscar
Stanage will be due for a handsome
increase. Cobb, Crawford and Bush
will remain three OF the best paid
men In the league.
II Mr.. Navin IL going TO be able TO
keep his salary list anywhere within
reasonable bounds. lot of pruning
will be needed, in the cases OF some
OF the veterans on the list.
Even without q war, the adjustment
will be one Of extreme deiicacy. In
case OF q break with the Association,
II will probably cost Mr.. Navin full
$4,000 additional, TO get his team
lined up for 1912. And other mag
ates will find their troubles almost az
severe.

From all appearances, the nifty lit
tie American Association 10 prepar-
ing TO do a fne Job Of hari-kari.
Unless those reports from Cincin-
natl are more highly-colored than the
real condition seems TO warrant the
most powerful of the minor leagues,
sore over a season in which IL has de-
veloped practically no new player tai
ent, is SO peeved that II Is ready TO
enter baseball war.
Ii has absolutely no chance TO win
such conflict. For. on the other side
would be arrayed not only the Ameri-
can and National leagues, with their
millionaire owners and their immense
resources, but also every minor-league
organization In the coutry.
Such q baseball misunderstanding
could hardly be termed a war; II
would go down into the annals Of the
game as a massacre OF a plucky lit
Of cavalry, infantry and artillery.
The baseball wars OF the past and
those OF the future as we'll. are mere
contests of gameness and financial
backing. Giving the American Associ-
alton gamesters credit for all the
pluck In the world. there can yet be
nothing In store for them but defeat
II 10 doubtful II the entire associa-
ton could raise a war fund OF $780,
900. Against this must be placed the
millions which could be gathered by
the big league alone.
Undoubtedly, In the event OF war,
the American Association could WOO
from the allegiance a number of the
big leagues stars. They could also
make the leagues raise the salaries
of their remaining cracks TO a figure
that would cut profits TO minimum.
But the Association could not take In
at the gate enough money to pay
their inflated expenses and the result
would be ruin.
In addition, the Association would
suffer severely from the depredations
OF the majors who would be at lib
erty to make an advantageous offer
to any American Association player
whom they might want, and would be
prepared to wreck any team in the
league on short notice.
The chances are strong that the AS
ISOLATION Is merely bluning. That Is
plainly the view taken OF their at
titude by the National Commission.
The only element leading TO the be
lief that war 10 probable or even pos
sible, is the known belligerency OF
such men as George Tebeau, Haven
or, Lennon and other club owners OF
the circuit.
The fact that the Association has
at last broken with the Eastern
league-which has always supported
II in its former demands-is another
element OF weakness. Could these two
organisations form an alliance for OF
fensiye and defensive operations
against the common enemy, there
might be some small chance for sue
cess. Undoubtedly, these organiza-
tons deserve to be classed higher
than the Southern, Western and Pa
cifc Coast organizations which are
also In the National Association's
Glass A. Some means ought to be
taken. permitting the American AS
sociation and Eastern league to draft
from the other Glass A. organizations.
The Western is notably away out of
It's class.

par with the big leagues In It's abil.

SYNOPSIS.

A foolish young tenderfoot becomes
fascinated with the bold. artful wife OF a
drunken prospector in western mining
town. They prepare to elope In a blind
Ing blizzard but are confronted by the
maudlin husband. He Is shot by the
wife. but the chivalrous boy pins a
note to the body taking the crime
upon himself. In their hight to- the
falls exhausted: the youth puts her
on his own and follows hanging to the
stirrup strap. Seeing he IL an impedl-
ment. the woman thrusts her escort into
q snow drift and rides on. Half-froIen
he stumbies into the railroad station just
as the train bears the woman away.
twenty-five years later, this man, George
Gormly. Is a multi millionaire In New
York. He meets Eleanor Haldane. q
beautiful and wealthy settlement worker,
and co-operates with her in her work.
Gormly becomes owner of a steamship
line and finds himself frustrated in pier
and track extension plans by grating al
dermen backed by the Gotham Traction
Company. An automobile accident on n
stormy Christmas eve brings the Hal
danes to his country home. Gormly
makes the marooned party comfortable.
In a confidential talk with GOrmly. Miss
Haldane enthuses on her settlement work.
and longs that he shall benefit mankind
with his wealth and business talents. He
determines to do so and announces that
he will be mayor Of New York and re-
deem the city from corruption.

in the matter?"

that"

] IL It should be made me by authority
I will not pay a single cent over anC
above the actual cost Of building the
switches and a proper and reasonable
amount for the privilege Of the con

"Of course, you must make you
own decision. In that case, however
fear you will never get the switches
81 am quite sure that before gel
through l shall have not only the
switches, but"
Gormly paused, and looked his com
panion hard and directly in the face
But what?" said Haldane, flickine
the ashes from his cigar daintily, and
speculatively watching the blue cur
Of smoke that rose languidly from iti
end In the air.
Gormly thought quickly. He was
not now deceived by the well assumed
indifference OF Haldane. He was con
WINGED that there was something back
of 1t; that the relation Of Haldane to
the whole affair was more than a
mere casual one; that Haldane had
not told him the plain, unvarnished
truth.
"Well, Mr.. Haldane, will be frank
with you. ! not only intend to have
my track connection, but | intend to
have the Gotham Freight Traction
company as we'll"
my dear sir" said Haldane gently
not turning hair before this astound
ing declaration. "Are you aware that
the bonds of the Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company are two hundred and
fifty million dollars; that stock for
twice as much more has been issued
and sold and is already at premium
that 1t is in the enjoyment of ninety
nine-year franchise with the privilege
of renewal; that its promoters in
clude some Of the ablest financiers in
the city,"
Much of what you say is a matter
Of public notoriety. You have given
me, however, some information that
l did not possess and which is of val
ue," said Gormly quietly.
Haldane did not acknowledge the
touch, though he WINGED inwardly at
1t.
"And yet you speak," be went on,

licity, II coupled with surrender, is
never very efflcacious. If l should
accede to the demands of the Gotham
Freight Traction company, the fact
that had exposed them would be of
little moment"
oh, then, you propose to do your
own freighting by wagon and give up
the battle?" asked Haldane, his eager
ness little more apparent than he
imagined possible.
Il have not said So" he answered.
What do you PROPOSE"
1t was blunt, direct question, and
one unwarranted by the situation.

slowly.

In the welfare Of the community.
Some of the hackers Of the Gotham
Freight Traction company are friends
OF mine, and from tonight l shall hope
to count you also among that num-
ber" explained the financier grace
fully.
Thank you," returned Gormly. Il
have learned that 1t is not wise to
say what you are going to do until
you are ready to do 1t; that 1t is
much better, In fact, to substitute
doing for saying"
IAN excellent maxim!" returned the
other with well simulated Indifference
"All Of your fellow citizens, however
will be deeply interested in the out

than you are, Mr.. Gormly, and may
therefore take the liberty, not of ad-
vising you as to the conduct of your

Il do"
This Is most interesting. | am Gu
rious TO know how you propose to do
It?
"The business that you have built up
is evidence of your capacity In that
line; but you have, l take 1t, never
mingled in Wall street. never dealt
on the exchange?"
Never. l didn't mean to, either"
How then do you expect to obtain
control Of such corporation as this,
especially when 1t has back of 1t the
city government as well as the Sach-
EN- society?"
The question was one Gormly could
have declined to answer without a
moments hesitation without giving
any offense, for 1t was one that Hal
dane had no right to ask. He thought
deeply, II swiftly, and before he spoke,
Haldane continued:
You are, take 1t, wealthy man;
but no single man could command the
resources of this corporation; that is.
no single man outside of those few who
are in It," he went on, land 1t would
be sheer madness for you to attempt
It,"
'Mr. Haldane," said Gormly. coming
to another conclusion, there is pow.
err in this country greater than the
money power"
"And what may that be, sir?"
THE power of the people"

ready on the side al the Gotham

quickly. rs this a compromise you
are offering?"

Haldane lightly, almost indifferently.
