SMALLER CIRCUITS
LACK LEADERSHIP
Must Learn to Depend More
on Themselves and Look
Less to Majors.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n 1EW YORK, July 23.-No ap-
nj prehension in the base ball
/ Y world is felt for the future
Of the minor leagues of
higher classification. But it Is
possible that some of the leagues
Of lower classification will stage
vigorous shake-up and reorgani-
zation during the coming Winter
and attempt to arrange their cir
cults on better geographical con-
ditions.
There is some probability that the
class AA leagues will knit into a more
compact organization Of their own.
That possibility was outlined last
Winter, when these leagues at Q con-
ference tried to prepare for the season
of 1882 in the most conservative way

T EAGUES Of lower classification were

some and made an effort to con-
tinue to be governed by the same
methods and rules as in the past.
While they seemed fortified for the
early part Of the season, they were not
substantially guarded for adversely
after July 4. That is repetition of
minor league history, hence the present
situation is not radically different from
other years.
Some leagues placed hope Of con-
tinuous success In 1882 upon assistance
from major league clubs. When this
was withdrawn they became helpless.
In two or three instances there has
been more lack Of management in minor
leagues than lack Of enthusiasm
Breaks in, some circuits could have
been adjusted so as to assure compile
lacked resourceful leadership to carry
them through.
THE International League has been
i remarkably successful in spots. The
tiptop showing made by Buffalo
took that team to the top, where IL
has waged capital battle with Newark
and Baltimore. Montreal has been q
contender, but at Toronto. which had
been one Of the mainstay5 of the
league, there has been apathy from the
start, for which various reasons have
been assigned.
champion Of 1881, has been unable to
get out Of the cellar, while Minneapolis.
on the other side of the river. has been
fighting factor all season.
The race in the Pacific Coast League
between Portland and Hollywood has
had the Coast fans in eager expecta-
tion of the outcome of every game in
which these teams take part, and this
has fed the enthusiasm Of the whole
league.
THE New York and Pennsylvania
i League Is having one Of the best
championship races in its history,
with the probability that it will become
more exciting than ever in August.
There Is bitter criticism Of the gen.
eral outcome of affairs In the Three Eye
League some Of whose owners insist
they could have taken the league
through to a finish if there had not
been too much major league interven-
ton.
1t is beginning to dawn upon the old
promoters of the lower-classed leagues
that II they are to succeed in the future
they must depend upon themselves and
must readjust their affairs to try to
become self-supporting, because II they
do not their lives as leagues will always
be precarious. If some major organiza-
ton withdraws its support they are un-
prepared to continue their races, as they
have no fixed plan to care for the
organization If its subsidy from a major
league fails.

The Delaware and Hudson
tossers will fight every inch of

The reason why the Coalmen

Crescent engagement at 1880

Saranacs tilt at $50 o'clock.
Both of these contests will be
played at Central. The fremont
Adelphities combat is the only
game listed in section A. It will
be in order at 8 o'clock in the
Mcfarland Junior School gym.
In one of the best basketball
contests played in the Community
Center League this year and
probably the best played on local
independent floors, the Saks de-
feated the Griffith Consumers,
Is to % last night at Central
