he wields the big stick with dctermin-

To the untiring efforts of Barrow
is largely due the fact that the three

fore he assumed Office. The more ex-
alted rating carried with it any num-

Has Revolutionary Plan.

Barrow has already done quite enough
for minor league baseball to establish
his name as real champion of the
cause. But he is not n man who is
content to live on reputation. He pur-
poses next year to inaugurate the most
radical changes in the hope of solving
the principal Disadvantages under which
the big family of the national pastime
now tolls. Barrow has the nerve to
try a scheme which. if successful, is
bound to do no less than revolutionize
the administration OF the game.
The players of the international
league next spring will be pooled at
the spring schedule meeting after they
have all been put under contract. The
various magnates will cast lots for
first choice. They will draw for the
various prizes of the circuit. Barrow
believes that in this wav and only in
this way will it be possible TO distrib-
ute the talent as evenly as possible
among the various club owners. He
believes that such course will result
in a much better balanced organiza-
ton; that every team will have chance
for the pennant and that the result
ing closer competitions should prove
more interesting to fandom in general
and more reIhunerative to the mag
mates
