team in the first division resemble
more than a lightly regarded
threat.
Attention also was focused par
ticularly on Jimmy Wasdell and
Roberto Estalella. Most critics feel
spectacular starts by those young
sters would be an immeasurable
aid in bolstering their confidence
and augur well for their respective
futures.
Estalella, of course, figures to
scan little else but curve balls,
since baseball's grapevine already
has seen to it that his weakness is
known around the circuit. Bobby,
however, has some surprises in his
system-Harris hopes.
Wasdell is in an unenviable pre-
dicament. Twice he has been
shipped back to the minors by the
Mats as incompetent, but now he
has been handed the job of tending
first base regularly. To date he
hasn't been exactly torrid in batting
displays, but neither has he been
too tepid. Jimmy, 1t seems, will
be interesting to follow.

Big American League
Hero Crop Looms,
Says Harridge
Sees Several Clubs Set
To Give Yunks Great
Fight for Pennunt
BY WILLIAM HARRIDGE,
President. the American League.

CHICAGO, April 10 R.-I believe
that the season of 1899, in addition
to being memorable as baseballs
centennial, will develop more dia-
mond heroes of the future than any
year in the history of our national
pastime.
Never, In recent years, have we
had so many young players of prom
ise-a majority of them with bright
chances of going on to stardom. In
this class we might mention VIII
liams, Tabor and Rich of Boston;
Rosar, Gallagher and Keller of New
York; Rigney of Chicago; Croucher,
Trout, Hutchinson and Cullenbine
of Detroit; Masterson of Washing
tom Berardirc, Grace, Spindel and
Kramer of st. Louis: Joyce, Chap
man and Miles of Philadelphia.
Likes Cleveland's Outlook.
From press reports coming out of
the training camps we are led to
believe that the New York Yankees
will carry off their fourth consecu-
tive American League pennant.
Without question, the Yankees will
again take the field with a powerful
and colorful ball club, but we must
not overlook the fact that they will
have stronger competition In 1889
because of the added strength of
Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and pos
sibly others.
The Cleveland club, with Feller,
Harder and Allen, two outstanding
catchers and wealth of outfleld
material, will open the season with
a promising outlook.
Browns Dark Horse" Club.
The st. Louis Browns may prove
the surprise of the league. Under
a new, capable manager, the club
has given a good account of itself
in its training camp and on the ex-
hibition schedule. Berardino, their
new second baseman, purchased
from San Antonio. may prove one
OF the f1rst-year sensations.
Throughout major and minor
leaguedom, baseball's Tooth birthday
anniversary will be celebrated. On

who have been selected for men,

the abysmal Athletics for three

The three-game series with Phil
adelphia, rapidly gaining recogni-
ton as replacing st. Louis as the
Alcatraz of the junior circuit, is
regarded by Harris as a beautiful
break. The Nationals delayed de-
but, created yesterday when the
official opener with New York was
postponed until Friday at Griffith

diction that United Mine Workers
within 10 days would win a closed

alties in new wage contract for
bituminous coal diggers came today
from District President P. T. Pagan.
Second week Of the soft coal mine
shutdown due to lapse of the 1887

reluctant to forecast how much
longer it would take for miners and
operators to iron out their diff
Culties.
A prominent operator blamed
rivalry between the American Fed

longed negotiations.
Refusing use of his name. the
producer asserted warfare between

Mr.. Pagan, head of U. M. w. A.

motive behind the demand for closed

Advanced Prices

Advances in prices Of farm prod

Imperial Valley, Scott Foulds, sec
retary of the county farm bureau
declared Wednesday, but the price
level is still considerably below av
erage.
With the possible exception of
sugar. Foulds said, prices are still
well under average. Beet growers
are paid according to the average
price received by refineries over q
12-month period. Therefore the
grower will be helped by recent
market changes.
Biggest beneficiary, however, is
the United States government,
which owns most of the nations
surpluses through loans.
A great deal of resentment has
been voiced in some quarters, Foulds
concluded, because Of Increased

however. returns to farmers have
been disastrously low and recent
