New York May 10.-John H Far

national league. is something of a
baseball genius.
The sage OF Auburn" is real vet
cram in the game, for he has been
connected with baseball for many
years and there isn't an angle of the
pastin7e which is unfamiliar to him,
AS secretary of the national associ-
alton of professional baseball clubs.
Farrell has served long and faithful
ly. Many a time his sage advice has
served as a prop to lettering minor
league, and with Mike Sexton, tha
venerable president OF the minor
league body, Farrell has been a god
send TO the minors.
When the club owners OF The dis
rupted International league decided to
reorganize their circuit this spring the
first important thing they set out TO do
was to find a man capable of taking
charge OF affairs for them. They
did not look far. but when the berth
was rendered to Farrell it was done
so with foreboding that he would
not accept. His decision TO take over
the affairs OF the league as it's presi-
dent put new life into the war-weary
club owners and the International
league was saved to baseball.
BY merging the International with
the New York State league. OF which
Farrell was president. the circuit was
made more compact than ever before
and the best paying cities in both
leagues now make up the new organi-
zstion. Farrell now has A wider
scope to display his baseball ability.
That he will pull the new lea que
through and eventually put it on a
firm basis is q practical certainty,
for Farrell dosen't know what the
