b. the Associated Press.
St. LOUIS, Jan. 9.-Baseball's
pioneer and most extensive farm
ers''-the st. Louis Cardinals-in-
dicated today they, would open the
1899 season with 20 per cent re-
duction in the number of minor
league clubs in their coast-to-coast
| system.
AS the situation now stands, the
Cardinals own II clubs outside ST.
Louis. whereas last year they had
Is. However, they have working
agreements with only eight teams,
half of the number in 1898. That's
a total of Is this season against
80 last year.
The list, however, is not yet COM
plete, being subject to change
either way-before spring.
Yank Farms Few But Good.
The New York Yankees success
with a few select farm teams had
led to reports that the Cardinals
might cut down drastically their
holdings.
In contrast to the relatively poor
showing of the once high-f1yin Red
Birds and their many farms, the
Yankees not only won the Ameri-
can League pennant and the world
championship. but two of their
minor league teams, Newark and
Kansas City, were opponents in the
Little World Series"
Some observers were of the opin-
ion the Cardinal organization had
become "bottomheavy" with more
mouths than it could feed profitably
with its annual harvest of players
and receipts.
The roster of Cardinalowned
teams includes three in the AA
classifcation-C Columbus of the
American Association, Rochester of
the International League, and Sac
ramento of the Pacific Coast League.
Houston Is Class A Holding.
Houston of the Texas League is the
Cards class Al holding, and there
are three class B teams-Asheville,
N. c., of the Piedmont League; De-
catur. Ill, of the Three-I League,
and Columbus, Ga, of the Sally
League. The class C and D teams
are:
Portsmouth, Ohio, Middle Atlantic

Indoor King Holding
4:04.4 Record Eager
To Race Briton
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Glenn Cum
ningham resumed his old trade of
popping into town to run the heels
of the best competition the indoor
track promoters can provide.
He looks, feels and runs better
than he did year ago or five years
ago and there is no reason why he
won't maui the records for the mile
and $500 meters a bit more this
winter.
Glenn flew into town Saturday,
ran 800 meters in 1853 fiat and flew
out again. Cunningham, who is 20,
left his opponents, from the veteran
Gene Venzke to Leslie MacMitchell,
kid who was in short pants when
Glenn was setting world records,
gasping like gated salmon.
"Uh, huh, feel pretty good" said
Glenn. II don't know whether this
will be my best year, but I am
running better than I did this time
a year ago. You know my work as
q lecturer out in Kansas makes me
travel lot and for time I thought
my back was getting too stiff. How
ever, a weeks work at New Orleans
before the Sugar Bowl meet took
care of that"
Eager to Race Wooderson.
If there is any miller capable of
beating Cunningham it Is Sydney
Wooderson, the Britisher. who holds
the accepted world record of 4:064.
Glenn would give his eye teeth to
meet him.
I'D like to race him every night
in the week." said the Kansan.
Don't think I'm cocky. I'd just
like to do it. OF course think I can
lick him. Besides, you know I'd like
to get that record back"
The record business rankles with
Glenn. He ran the fastest mile in
history last winter, 4:044 on Dart
mouths indoor track, but the stand
ard is Woodersons effort.
Cunningham thinks MacMitcheu
is the best of the real young fel-
lows" but he has high regard for
Chuck Fenske and Lou Zamperini.
There are a lot of good milers, but
you fellows don't give them any time
unless they run under 4:10. Let me
tell you. a fellow who has run a
4:20 mile knows he's been doing
something"
Glenn Wins Fans Favor.
Part of the Cunningham legend
is the change in the crowds attitude
toward him. When he first came
East he was roundly booed each
time he appeared on track. There
didn't seem any particular reason
unless it was the long time Glenn
took to warm up.
You can almost put your finger on
the time the fans started to cheer
him. 1t was on March IA, 1886, when
he won the Columbian mile In alb
normally slow time after literally
thinking" the others out Of first
place. They started to holler for
him then and they've been doing it
ever since.

college quint in the District, moves
against Temples Eastern Conference
champions tonight in Washington's
first big game of 1889.
The tap-on at Tech High is sched-
