BASEBALL DUE

Prospects Bright Declares
Head Of National
Association
BY w. G. BRAMHAM, President,
National Association Of Professional
Baseball Leagues

BY w. u. BkAMHAM, President,
National Association Of Professional
Baseball Leagues
DURHAM, N. c., Jan. o. LP)-
Turning into 1885. the minor leagues
OF baseball find themselves in a more
strategic position for their program
OF expansion than they have Wis
Toned in several years. There are
several factors contributing to this
gratifying situation.
Ever since 1892, the crisis year for
the minors. when the close OF Sched-
lles found only 10 leagues in opera
ton, the national association has
bent its efforts toward rehabilita-
ton and expansion.
There was some encouragement in
1888. when IA circuits began the
season and all finished. Last year
10 leagues completed their sched-
ules.
I am happy to say our key" lea
CUES have their foundations Streng-
thened TO such an extent that more
time may be devoted to organiza-
ton work, which means expansion
and opening OF new territory.
No Shoestrings
One Of the chief factors in the
sterilization of our circuits has been
legislation In opposition to the So
called .shoestring operator" a men,
ace to the game, whose activities
had more TO do with disruption in
some territories than the economic
depression. He started out with
nothing and wound up with a trial
Of liens and obligations in his path.
He IS being pushed out OF the
scene. At our annual convention,
more legislation was enacted against
him. Every operator now will be re-
quired to post a cash guaranty with
the treasurer of the National as
ISOLATION before the start Of the sea-
son.
The promotional department OF
the National association. charged
with the duties Of organizing new
leagues and lending a hand where
ever needed. has an ambitious pro-
gram.
Some 20 proposed additions 70
membership have been contacted.
We do not expect to add 20 new lea
CUES to our roll for 1885, but we 90
hope to get the best Of these pros
poets inside the ranks of organized
baseball. II the coming season opens
with Is welI-organized and financil-
ly sound leagues. marked progress

1000 FAMILIES
STILL IN PATH
Of FLOOD

CAIRO, ILL.,, March Is G.N.SO.
Threats of food shortage and pos
sible disease arose today as ap-
proximately 10000 homeless, forced
to flee the rampaging flood waters
of Mississippi tributaries, sought
shelter in Southern Illinois,
Arkansas and Missouri.
Although a slight recession Of
the flood was noted in lower 1lli-
nois, crumbling levees at Mcbride,
Mo-, and Newport, Ark, sub
merged additional thousands of
lowland acres.
Three negroes were drowned at
Sikeston, Mo-, in Little River
when a skiff they we're riding to
safety sank.
A food shortage was reported at

5000 Families Aided
The Red Cross, after completing
q hasty survey of the general
flood area, joined with the Fed
eral emergency relief administra-
ton to give relief to 5000 families
in the three States. Homes of
1000 more families lay in the path
of the swelling st. Francis River
in Arkansas and southeast Mis-
souri,.
The Red Cross was taking spe-
cial precautions to guard against
disease among the refugees.
Upward of 100000 acres of bot
tom land was under water. The
Missouri Mingo basin district lay
beneath a murky lake of swirling
water "a miles long.
Volunteers in boats continued
the work of rescuing marooned
families from upper stories of
homes and barns, carrying the
homeless to safety.
Water Still Rising
Here, at the confluence of the
Mississippi and the Ohio, the sit
uation became menacing when
the water rose above flood stage
and was still rising.
The water from the tributaries
such as the Wabash, Arkansas
and Illinois rivers, was pouring q
strong head Of water into the
Mississippi proper, yet Army engi
neers in charge of flood control
insisted there vould be no major
flood unless exceedingly heavy
rains fall in the North.

The campaign for raising q
guarantee fund of 100000 for
the National Symphony Orches-

son may be extended and that
the musicians may receive reg
ular weekly salary.
Mrs. Tracy Dows is chairman
of the Women's Committee and
DR.. William Mcclellan is chair
man of the mems committee.
Numerous subcommittee also
are organized.
That the National Symphony
Orchestra is filling a need in
Washington is shown by the
steadily growing numbers at
tending the concerts. With a
larger guarantee fund, not only
will the season be enlarged but
there will be offered more
lower priced seats for the in
door concerts.
Considerable interest is being
shown in the summer series Of
outdoor concerts planned for
the National Symphony Orches-
ira. Because of the novelty
and the low price, doubtless
many new patrons will be won
for the winter season.
