Ue remained wlib ine Bostons uDiil the Players* League was organized, when he Joined the Boston Club, oC that league, for the season of IStN). In 1691 he acted sa captain, and played with ths Utnolnnail Club, ot the Amerlcnn Association, but owing to the Bght then carried on against the Na- UonaTLeague, the venture proved a failure, and be- fore lbs stason waa over ne returned to the Bos- ton OlQb, ot the Nitllooal League, aud flolshed oat the season.

Ita ABDval tDeellog to be Held in thlsCltyr —Will It n«lnea lU Clrealt to ElRbt CI aba I As ?e go to press the National Leagns aod Amer- leu Association Is about to hold Its annual meet- ing. II Is hardly likely that any very radical meas- ures will be adopted or anything of a stanling nature will take place. The magnates are a mild mtbh^red lot of gentlemen, who annually meet, Bttend to Iheir routine business, discuss plans for lbs following season, have a good time In gsuenl and then return to their respective homes perfectly saiimed with themselves and with the work they accomplished. Whll4 li Is nnlvenally conceded lu be fur tbe good or tbe organlxatluo to itdaco Its circuit trom twelve clubs to eight, II It hardly pruhable It will do aoylhlog lo ine matter at Ibis time, at Ihe ihadow of the Americas Assoclauon appetrs lo Ibe dltiance and tho league will do noihlDK that will give the new comer a chance fur recognlllou. The older organlzsllon doct not want a rival to share m proOls lu the baseball busi- ness.. Thereforo It thinks that If It was to attempt to crowd out any of Its present members It would bs paving Ihe way tor the esubllshment ot another organlcailon, which It does not want or shall come into eiltience If It can be prevented. Yet by tat- lug this stand and conUnnlug Its circuit Intact II Is sure 10 lojure liaelf more than It possibly would by reduclnglt to elghtstiong, well balanced dabs. The league's dnult is a detnment to Itself, aud by con- tinuing II will open tbe way for a rival. It would i>e far better tor lha league magnates to bake some prompt scuoii for suengthening themselves, even If by so doing tbey would open the gates lo aootlier organization, whloh at best, could not interfere with tbeir luteresu in tbs leasL There are enough Ural class flayers In the couuiir to form a slnng and compact tight club circuit, and, al Its prices ct admission, would be liberally sup- ported, but let tbe league continue to force a minor altrmouon upon Its patrons, aod that, too, at lis bigta piles of admission, and tbey w'li cer- tainly rebel. There are four or five clubs In the league's circuit that conlu belter be spaied than retained. They era uf no earthly benem to the or- ganization or never have been, and would be bet- ter out than In IL They are weakening tbe league and the toamr tbey remain the more they will In- jure IL Oil the other band Ihe American AisocIS' tion wlllbegalnlngslnngtbatthe expense of tbe major league, and by quietly working will soon gel Itself luto shape that It will be able to bid for pob 110 patronage. lis soheme Is to give tbe public Just ss gouil games ss can be seen anywhere, and that, too, at popular prices. There Is room enough in this cooniry fur two leadlngbaseballorganizaiToni, providing ihoy are worked In harmony with each other. Tuis can and should be, aod it tie msjor league has the Intcreals ot tbe public at heart, as hat been olalmed urns aud again. It will do lit at. m<>al toward giving Ibe public what It wants. This cannot be accomplished, however, by torolng the publlo to pay a high larlitfuran luferlorarucle. If the league.conilnuesto do so.uoderthegnlseof try- ing to protect Itself, it will only demonatrate Its own weakness, and would greatly atiengthen the cause ot the new organization. Tbe chief trouble with the major league it ibat it has a monopoly of tho baseball business, and ltdoet not want iu relin- quish Its claims to It, or share Its IntereaU with any other organization. The American Asaocla- tlon or some other one Is bound lo bs organ- ized sooner or later, but it should do so without forcing a oght wllb tbe older or- ganizallon, as another strife may provs a death blow to the national game. The major league was formed early In I6lt, and has contlnuoil as an organizallon ever since. Uauy changes have taken pUce in Ita ciroult, antll nowonly twoof the original clubs are memiiefs of the organlaalloo. Up to within the pest few yean the mijor league was GOudacted on a moch higher plane than the other baseball atsoclauons, but sines the twelve club leagao was torined It baa been run under muoli differenl Ideas than li tormerl/ was, and, In- dteau of going ahead, It has bean steadily going baokward, and, nnlett tomethlng Is done to oneck this sbileufathiliB, It will be obliged loieduce Its price of admiailon to that Its clubs csn live, or there will be an unlooked for and serious break In its ouoult, and that, too, at a lime when It may prove a serious blow to the organization. Flliy cents It not too much Xii atk for a Hist chiss game ot ball, but 11 cannot, or will not, he paid in elites that depend wholly upon Sunday games. There Is a Held ot the league and non-play lug Sunday games, aod uen there wunid be one lor the American As- soolailon with popular prices and Suiday games. Tbere are two obisses of bsseball lovlog people, Ibtl etohorganlzatlon coold meet, wluont Iniener- logwllueaon other.
