TO supplying armament workers with
lat meat a success. agents are visiting
even the smallest peasants for this
purpose. one informant says that 1t is
untrue that the scarcity is only in
towns. and that the suffering in rural
districts is just as great.
The potato famine prevails every

during the last six weeks has been re-
duccd to three pounds head a week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Plans for
| redistricting minor leagues in FOL.
| lowing out the plan that will form
new league made up Of American as
ISOLATION and International league
clubs probably will abolish several
organizations that are now in exist
ence.
Economical measures must be talk
en- at once, In the opinion of minor
league leaders or in very short
time there will be no minors. Plans
at present are said to contemplate
taking the best cities from several
OF the strong small organizations and
combining them into new circuits.
Reduction of mileage will be another
object.
Already steps have been taken IN
line with the latter idea. The Pa
cific Coast league has cut itself off
from the Northwest by dropping
Portland and taking in Sacramento.
The proposed new league would make
the American association more COM
pact by taking in Omaha, Des Moines,
ST. Joseph and Sioux City or Lincoln.
The merger that will combine Inter
national league cities with American
association seceders does net reduce
mileage but will take the best towns
from the two leagues so as to get
more action on the turnstiles.
The annexation of Western league
territory by the American association
will leave better territory for the
Three-Eye league and for the West
ern association. The latter would be
able to pick up Joplin and Denver,
while either Sioux City or Lincoln
might be added to the -Three-Eye ter
ritory, although Lincoln always has
been given credit for being a live
baseball town.
