"They don't develop their own men
in the American Association" said one
base ball man, but develop their
loans" meaning players loaned to as
sociation clubs by major league teams.
Glass A leagues are predicting sue
cess of an unvarniShed kind for the
1880 season. One of them, the South
ern Association, Is well financed in At
lanta with its new owners, and another,
the Texas League, enters the coming
season with a new president, who sue
ceeds the late j. Doak Roberts, its for
mer president, an amiable and widely
admired man. The president Of the
Eastern League, Herman j. Weisman,
endeavored to resign, but the owners
Of that circuit prevented it. The West
ern League will report to the National
Association with an undercurrent con.
tinuing in the shape Of movement to
to the Texas League. But 1t Is un-
likely that this will be successful
move.
Player Retrenchment Needed.
Mike Sexton believes that If there
are to be any reforms in organized base
ball, assistance should be given the
Glass B, C and D leagues in preference
to any other classes.
He explains that player retrenchment
is necessary. One of his opinions Is
the radical one that would divorce these
low-classed leagues entirely from the
supervision of major and higher-class
minor leagues.
In other words, Mr.. Sexton advises
that the leagues of these classif1cations
be strictly locally managed and oper-
ated organizations, including home own
ership. Their contracts and their reser-
vations would have to be respected, of
course, by leagues otherwise than the
class B, G and. D.
This has been hinted at several times,
but President Sexton never before has
been so outspoken in regard to it. The
minors always have wished to "go it
alone" in base ball, but the only time
they attempted to do so proved to be a
failure, because the minor organizations
Immediately steered themselves into all
kinds of trouble by not putting an off,
cial experienced in base ball in control
of affairs.
It is argued that a defective policy
was responsible for this. Therefore,
there are experts who would try some
thing again now to obtain self-rule,
but on basis that would avoid trouble
with the bigger organizations

Of presenting strengthened

Thursday afternoon, as 1t Is expected
that Stanley Lewis, regular guard last

after tomorrow. Because OF scholastic
difficulties Lewis was unable to play
in Hyattsville's opening game against

NEW YORK, April 20 Q.N.S.).-
Though Industrial stocks were in
clined to slightly higher prices in
the dull and heavy weekend mar
ket. the load of profit taking and
professional selling which flowed
in from all sections prevented a
wide advance in any section of the
list. Stock sales in the first half
hour amounted to only 264,000
shares, or about 25 per cent of the
volume in some of the February
and March sessions of q boiling
market.
There was nothing to stimulate
a wide demand for stocks at the
weekend. The business reviews
emphasized the effects of the bad
weather on freight transportation
and crop planting, and there was
still some uncertainty in money
market circles about credit sup
plies for the speculative market.
Most of the oils were ready to
respond to bullish treatment. Texas
Corporation jumped 2lz points to
6S1z behind a strong buying move
ment. Pure Oil moved up another
point to 2S on rumors of higher
cash dividends and new gains of a
point or less were recorded for
Phillips Pete, Houston and the
Standard Oils. The amusement
stocks and the mercantiles, favorites
in the first part of the week,
reached a higher price level. with
Montgomery Ward leading the for
rner group and Warner Brothers
the latter. Childs Restaurant,
Brown Boveri, Royal Baking Pow
der and other special ties, sold up
a point or two in a moderate week
end rally, and most of the high
priced airplane and express COM
pany stocks reached a higher level.
