Of oooree, If he wen elected a director, he would hare to give np hit law buatneaa. There It no money In being managing director—nothing bat hard work and glory, f believe, however, that from next teaaon on the New York Olub will pay a dividend. It It on a sounder financial bula now than ever before. Yet. I did oner my stock tor sale, ud I will tell, u I think I will retire from the olob. I cannot attend to my private business, ud that of the club at the same time. It la simply u impossibility, ud I shall not attempt It, I am only a minority atook- holder, and have only a small voice in the matter, but I aheli do all I can to keep Ward identified with the game." A meeting hu been called for Dec 11, at Cam- den, N. ).. for the porpoee of forming a Stale League.

Then the people were distracted with the quarrels of the major leagues ud the rivalry of the big bodies made It a hard thing lo get any sort ot playen at price, that would be fair to them u well u to the olaha.

Then are alto times when four belle given to a heavy hai.man may turn the tide of defeat ud the pitcher then cunot be ourged with a bad play.
