BASEBALL SUFFERS FINANCIAL LOSSES Too Much Wrangling for Good of Game, Says
 COmiskey

Chicago, June 19.-Baseball gate receipts have fallen off heavily and three major leagues this year will make less money than two did last year. This statement was made yesterday by Charles A. Co., miskey, president of the Chicago Amer jeans. Comiskey declared that the public was weary of the wranglng and contract jumping talk, and of the emphasis on salaries which had thrown into the back ground the sporting features of the pas time.
 Minor leagues will suffer the same as the majors" said Comiskey. Tt is all due to poisonous contract jumping and the demoralized condition of the players There is no use trying to hide the true state of affairs The public sees the true condition of the game even more quickly than the players. It has been the players, aided and abetted by club own CTS and their agents, who have brought baseball to the condition prevailing at the present time. If there is room for three leagues, well and good. The gate re- ceipts will tell the story. The players have a right to get more money if they can, but not at the expense of their con- science in jumping their contracts.
 Tt is not so much a question of losing as it is of keeping up the standard of the game. If that is lowered the public will desert it.r

New Orleans, June 19.-(Special) sThe Barons beat the Pels in one of the most exciting games of the season here today and supplanted Chattanooga in second place. If the Birmingham team continues the brand of ball it put up here during the past two games it will finish the season soaring over the heads of any team in the league After the game today d number of bets were laid on Birmingham winning the pennant with the odds three to one.
 Marcan, the first to face Pitcher Kis- singer, slapped one over short for one base and went to second when Stewart put a sacrifice grounder to Starr. Me Donald advanced him another peg with grounder to first. and he completed the circuit when Knsely hit to center for one base
 The game stood still until the third, when Marcan again singled to right, but was later caught off first by I<issinger. Stewart walked. Mcdonald bunted to kissinger, who fumbled the ball and threw wild to first. Stewart going to third and Mcdonald to second. Knisely singled to left field, scoring both men.
