spite of the ak about the
Y hardships Of the minor leagues
EoW going the rounds it ap-
pears probable that at least three more
will be organized for the season of 1882.
The principal prospective new circuit
will be the Central League, occupying
the old territory in the Midwest which
was once so .seea for games. This league
comprises the cities of Dayton, Akron
and Canton Ohio; Fort Wayne and
South Bend, Ind: Erie. Pa and pos
sibly Battle Creek, Mich. Springfield,
Ohio, also would make good member
Of such circuit.
Plans Are Sensible.
The energies Of those who are in
terested in this league do not lack for
enthusiasm and earnestncSs. The plans
for The new circuit are much more
sensible than those which have been IN
vogue fOr MINOR league operation within
lhe last three years and conservative
enough to insure safety in operation.
Cities il the South Atlantic section
are anN)uS to have new league for
1892, and Judge William G. Bramhan,,
who has been successful as leader CT the
Piedmont League, will give them the
benefit OF his experience in minor
league base ball if there is a disposi-
ton to prepare for next year.
Nebraska Loop Sought.
The merits of a Nebraska league plan
have been explained to base ball men Of
that section, and instead of trying to
operate league on the basis of high
salaries and for the purpose of develop
ing stars for the larger leagues it is
probable that such an organization will
enter the field determined to give all
the opportunity possible to home talent.
The new policy in base ball on the
part OF the minors will be to encourage
leagues of the lower classifcations and
give to the higher classed minor leagues
plenty Of liberty to cooperate with the
majors as far as players of large con-
tract are concerned.
1t is maintained that a half dozen
new leagues. conducted in 1882 with a
moderate expenditure and for the pur-
pose of creating real local rivalry by
the use of ne1ghborhood players, will be
something like an old-fashioned revival
IN the minor organization.
