In the halcyon days OF organized base
bal mutual benefit was experienced
because OF the generous spirit shown
by the major and the minor circuits.
The National and American leagues paid
fancy prices to the smaller operators
for promising talent. They turned back
on easy terms to the lower classes those
who just failed in some fundamental
To live up to the approved standards
OF the fastest company. The ensuing
wal ruined this market on which the
minors had TO depend for a livelihood.
Through the two years Of war the
Federal League has looked In vain for a
sufficient weakening on the part of the
minors to insure sufficient pressure to
force equal recognition with the. National
and American. Resentment rather than
sympathy vas expressed by the little
fellows. They laid their woes to the
heavy hand and ruthless policies OF the
revolutioSists a year ago the minor
leagues were not In such financial en-
barrassment as they stand to-day. The

gold before the hungry eyes. The out

san Francisco meeting may develop a
new revolution. organized basebaIl
uses every vile TO strengthen the ale

Therefore the most important devel-
opment Of the National Association is
bound to he the attitude OF the minor

This photograph shows John Bur-
roughs, naturalist, at play with his
two grandchildren The naturalist
has been i'll at his home at West
Park, New York, and some of his
friends have feared for him.
Few figures more picturesque than
that of John Burroughs have l0omed
in the American world of letters.
Born among the wooded hills, he
loathed always the crowded haunts of
men. He would have been prisoner
in the city, and the only walls chat
pleased him were the walls of all
outdoors. Once upon time he wrote,
when in the woods, fl come here to
find myself. It's so easy to get lost
in the world"
He was born at RoXbury, N. Y, in
the western Catskills, on April 2, 1887
the son of Chauncey A. and Amy B.
Burroughs; and there he passed his
boyhood in the ways common to
most country lads.
AS a young man he taught school
for about eight years. His earliest
published writing vas an essay en-
titled 1Expression," which appeared
in the Atlantic Monthly, unsigned,
when he was twenty three years of
age.
Mr. Burroughs married in 1857, at
the age of twenty, Ursula North.
This was in his school teaching days.
