 competitors, unless they are friendly to the association.
 It is the opinion of Tebeau that the A. A. made a mistake when it permit ted the small minor leagues to place teams in the same cities and play their games when the association teams are on the road. He argues that the diff ference in the class of ball does not meet the approval of the baseball fans, and as a result it hurts the A. A. He refused to permit the small league at Kansas City to enter his territory, although permission was given to the WI in Milwaukee; the Northern in the Twin cities, and the Ohio State in Columbus.
 Tebeau is of the opinion that while the small leagues will be a failure in the association cities, he believes rival league, friendly to the A. A. and of about the same calibre, would be a success; in other words, the Kan sas City man would like to see the A. A magnates interested in a league that would parallel the association. using the same parks when the teams are on the road, and which would also do much to keep any rival league that might want to enter the field, out of the A. A. territory.
 One of the biggest drawbacks to the small leagues in the A. A. cities is the fact that they charge the same price of admission as the association clubs The fans have rebelled, and as result the attendance has not been up to expectations. There have already been rumors of some of the clubs being taken from the A. A. cit ing and transferred to regular minor league towns, which would indicate that the deal will hardly be continued next year. unless it should be under the Tebeau plan.

(By Wagner.)

Monte Cross, who resigned as um- pire in the Eastern association last week is like the well known bullfrog. You never know where he's going to land. He met President O'Rourke at the station last Saturday and said he would take a job on the umpire staff any time he was wanted. The presi- dent thought that was pretty good comedy after Cross had resigned only a few days before. About a month ago Cross wrote asking for a job and was told to report. Then he wired that he had accepted a place in the International league. When he was released he again asked Uncle Jeems for a position and was wired. After serving week he resigned because the league wouldn't pay his travelling expenses. It looks as if Monte holds the title of the Finnigan of the na- tionaI game.
 The uphill victory of the American polo team over the English invaders last Saturday was pleasing to the sporting enthusiasts. The London Times says the British team was handicapped by lack of organization. It says the Americans practiced the all important shot for goal while the English neglected that branch.

Sir;-Delaware is thrifty, but it's not

1t seems often to be just sort Of ma
tive thrift that has a very peculiar
admiration and love for money-success,
even if by a measure of sharp prac-
tice or graft.
There is throughout most OF the
ountry-but Delaware seems to have
its full share, If not more-a certain
admiration for the man who is. taking
or trying to take, from the pfblic re-
sources, property or rights or powers
giving nothing or practically nit in
return, and throughout the public gem
orally there is almost such an no.
not. exactly an envious or jealous ad-
miration, but sort of Id-like-to-get-
in-such-a-good-d od-deal-sometime feeling
that has often caused the public to
stand by and supinely see wrongs
perpetrated upon public resources of
various sorts and extents.
While often he who would protect
the public's interests, or would con-
tribute small or large benefit to the
public, or add to public resources

larger personal benefit or graft from

Such is the large measure Of credit
given to taking from the public or for
making the public pay the bill. with
its chances and the almost contempt.
or even pity, for the doing for. or con-
tributing to public benefit. that, that
education has sometimes caused some
very odd twists of thought, and some
very anomalous situations
Right now, in Delaware and in Will

acknowledged greatest need of our dia-

such anomalous situations.
