Major league ball will get the best

to prove that I believe it, I will head 4

in this city with $500 the minute they
show me that it is possible to form
that league in the west. I am not

This is my home, my interests are all

city provided they get what they want
and that there is an effort made to
please and not to bulidoZe the fan who

you know, of course, that there is
much complaint made against the car

Yes. I know all about that. But did

big kicks came during the construction

the street railway company was labor

So tfsfied that if an effort was made to
please the ball-loving public at the
park that the. street railway company,
as a matter of business, would provide
reasonable service. The trouble with
many of our older fans is that some
years ago they could look from their
office windows and see a few innings.
That was in the days of the old down
town park, but now that the city has
assumed metropolitan proportions the
park has been moved so far out that
they do not seem to grasp the condi-

uated in this baseball park matter

Joss TO TRAIN PRIVATELY.
The Crack Nap TwirIer Has System
All His Own.

i Toledo, o., Jan. 27.-Addie Joss, the
crack Cleveland pitcher, is not likely
to go south with the Maps this spring.
1t is not a case of hold out, as Ad
signed last fall, but merely because he
is going to frame up his own training
jaunt.
He expects to go to French Lick
about March 1, and remain there a
couple of weeks. After this experience
he will probably go to Hot Springs for
a course of baths. then he will join the
regular team on it's way north.
JOSS arm hasn't bothered him at all
this winter, but he will not know just
how strong it is until after he works
it out. Addie figures, however. that it
will be as good as ever.
His rest last season was what the
valuable whip needed. and his per-
Torrance against the Reds In the fall
series proved to him that he need not
worry about it's future usefulness.

MooRE-HoLLAND STAND PAT.
Neither Turned Loose of Anybody al
Meeting

Fred Moore, manager of the Topeka
ball club, came home from st. Joseph
leading no Drummer darlings by the
hand. All he had was a couple of
preseason dates.
He and Holland agreed on two ex-
hibitions for April s and 9. Each
camp will divide into two teams and
one team from each camp visit the
other on those days.
Whatever Moore had on his mind
when he went to Drummerville, he did
not say and apparently did not dis
pose of it. Holland disclosed a notion
for Arthur Thomson but Moore does
not care to have the Topeka fans wait
ing for him with a knife. However,
Moore may be forced to sell or trade
the fast outfielder because Thomson
has that same idea of how much
money Moore has just got to spend be-
fore spring.
