Base Ball Prospects
Bright for Wichita

The base ball outlook for Wichita this
year Is promising AS far as raising the
money necessary to purchase the team
Is concerned, there Is no doubt about It.
The bast part OF It Ia that Wichita is not
tho only town which wants to have
base ball team. Pa Rourke is heartily
in favor OF is getting into the Western
league again this season. Pa said: Il
would like to see Wichita get back into
the next league season and I don't think
there IL any doubt but what they will. II
downtown park Is secured I'm Wichita
It will he one OF the best towns in the
league as they have tho right kind OF
boosters In that place. Wichita win I'M
doubtedly get the Pueblo franchise and
there win not be a manager In the league
who will not be heartily glad to go back
to Wichita with his team"

Judgments

THIS United States base bali league
listens about like the Fletcher
league OF last year that signed
up all the star players at two
and three times their regular
salaries. It boasts OF franchises I'm seven
cities-Pittsburgh. Cincinnati New York,
Brooklyn, Reading PaD, Richmond,
Washington and appeals from Chicago,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Buffalo. The
promoters, who are total STRANGERS in
base ball, have sites already located in
some cities, but nobody else has been able
to locate them. Magnates think players
seeking salary increases are agitating this
bluff. Perhaps so; we cannot think of a
better explanation. But they cannot be
very shrewd players It would take seV-
eral million dollars-sevcn or eight. we
should say, to plant such a league in
eight cities before even a player was
bought. That is one little item that does
not lend substance to the story. Money
is not SO easy" just now that capitalists
are anxious to finance so doubtful an
enterprise as a third major league since
in the last few months relations and
conditions have so shaped themselves ms
TO remove the immediate demand If one
existed, for such an organization
The compromise reached between the
majors and the American association set
ties the provocation that threatened an
Invasion and it is not so easy to find
another to take the place in day. Nor
is 1t at all likely or evident that any num-
Der Of players will follow the call of
this siren voice now, not with the echoes
OF Mr.. Fletcher's wolf cries still ringing
in their ears. Conversation money does
not look good to a youth with a real |
pay check. If the magnets are correct
in assuming that this is a players trick. |
II must be a very few very short
sighted players.

Well, the AA boys are through. They
have returned from the war with the
pelts OF victory dangling at their sides
and If they are satisfied. then all we have
TO say is they are easily contented For
aside from the name, what have they?
one thing, they have the privilege of pay
ing more for drafted players, which.
with their other concessions, will call
for higher salaries paid by them. Per-
haps the AA leagues, which are wedged
in between the class AS and majors,
can cash in their nominal advancement
Tor enough to offset the other factors. II
so, then so much the better. The West
ern and Southern of the class A, It seems
to us. came out of the shake-up all
right. Hereafter they will get 81 500 in
stead Of $l,OO0fOr a player taken by draft.
While it really seems as IL the whole
thing ended satisfactorily, it nevertheless
becomes fiasco so far as the American
association in concerned because of the
hubbub Tebeau and one of two created
in advance with their threats. They NAV
have got all they needed, but IT is very
little as compared to their big talk for a
year or two.

British Make Strong Bid
 For Motor Boat Trophy

Great Britain will make slrohs bid this year for the internatlonai motor boat trophy. and it would not be surprising if the cup crossed the water as the result of the race 10 De held in New York waters the last or thA month. Trials to determine the IYnited States defenders will begin to- day under the auspices of the Motor Boat Club of America, and will con- tiulfe three days. The most 1Kely or the British craft iaccording to expert opinion, is the Maple Leaf lV., own ed by E. Mackay Edgar Last year 5 new and Improved craft is alleged to be able to do a., mile minute. sne was designed by Saunderse Of Cowcs, and is built on Saunders Fauber ines, by a patented system said to permst U a great deal lighter construction fnan two in number, have been improved where all the trouble was caused last 'yeaA The engines are of the. type. each with twelve cylinders, six on each side. They develop about 500 horsepower. The propeller shafts are unique in that they run underneath the engines and extend almost the en- tire length of the craft. The connec- ton between engines and propeller shafts is made forward in the bows of the boat, the shafts being con- nected by spur gearing.
 The other British entries are ex- cellent craft, but, barring accidents, the Maple Leaf is expected to make the best showing of the British boats. Whether she stands chance of talk ing the Harmsworth trophy back to England will not be certainly known until the international contest is de- cided the last three days of this month, although the American elini- nation trials, beginning today, will give a better line on what she is up against. Baby Reliance, Disturber. F. D. O. Second, Neptune, and other guaranteed mile minute" boats will perform in the eliminations, and the Motor Boat Club of America will have a classy field to choose from.
 Dixie ". won the international race last year. In the first race she cov- cred the thirty nautical miles in 51 mintes Is seconds, an average speed of 35.12 miles an hour. The British boat finished second in 52 minutes! IA seconds. This performance was a long way from "mile minute speed which is predicted for this year S races. Most motor boat experts are taking those predictions with several grains of salt. Motor boats have been made that did better than mile a minute over short courses in try-outs, but in competition they have found forty miles the best they could do.
