HEN the minor boso
bull oreanlzallons
ilovlso ways and
means of cxtstctico
without holding
themselves sub-
scrvlunt to the
National ion cue ,
then nnd only then ,
will the canto de
velop oven Into a
satisfactory busi
ness vonturn. The
Westurn longuo
pays so much per club to the major body for
the privlloeo ol drawluK tholr brc.ith. This
tax Is also aupposod to assure the lessor
organizations Immunity against Inroads from
unscrupulous managers nnd base ball agents ,
aiiU several other varieties of protection.
But tin fact is It assures or insures nothing ,
absolutely nothing , BO far as the National
league Is concerned. It Is all powerful , how
ever , among the organizations of the minor
order. They nro not allowed to monkey with
each other In any paitiosUr , but forced to
live like cooing doves together. . If there Is
nnv monkoving to bo done the
National will do It. They hnvo plenty
capacity , plenty Inclination nnd plenty
tlmo to do nil the monkeying for the whole
base ball conlIngcney.
- If the nntlonul IcuR'jo wants a player from
the ranks of any of the minors , she gets him
by hook or crook. If the club who holds his
contract refuses to surrender him for n nom
inal figure , in order that the transaction may
have a business like aspect , it will bo found
that some one of the National league clubs
linvo an old prior claim on him , and they
gobble him up without reward or conscience.
The Ocnlns case for Illustration.
It Is the sntno with umpires nud every
thing else.
This spring Nick Young declared that
Jack McQunlil should novorutnpiro nno thor
pamo In the Notional league. JacK said ho
thought Now York made Boston several
presents last tall in order to boat the grand
old man of Chicago out of the championship.
That tnado Undo Nick , as well ns nil Boston
nnd Now York , vcrv sere on His McQunld-
lota. nnd notwithstanding ho was the
most finished and competent umplro
In the business , they refused him njob this
spring. They hud n lot of Hursts , Emslies ,
Maccullars , Walters , Mahonoys aud similar
vegetables on hand , and Informed Mr. Me-
Qunld that ho might go back to carrying the
hod for all they cared.
So JncK. ho signed with the Millenium
Plan outllt. Ho is the only real umpire wo
have hna , but wo hnd to give him up.
The league staff , nsldo from IC'.ng Gaff. (
quickly proved very Wnlly Fesscndon , nnd
to keep the populace in line in several cities ,
it was ncccssarv that n helper for GalTuoy
bo secured. That meant Jnelc McQunid.
Now the story is being circulated that Mc-
Qunld's contract with President Williams
this spring was n conditional one , nnd his
ro.-dgnntlon was gracefully accepted.
The truth ot the matter Is the arrogant
Icaguo slniplv reached out nnd picked Colonel
McQuuld oil the Western bush , just HUe the
urcpping of n rotten npplo. r
The ivtnor organizations , sooner or Inter ,
will do tvroght to contracts that will bind ,
Irrespective of league protection , assistance
or advice. Tim srslu secret of the nonsuccess
cess of nil the minor organizations over in
corporated , is the fact that from their in-
ctptoncy the National league opens up its
lifo-sapping tactics.

The great nnd only bate ball rule-maker ,
Nlchodomus E. Young , has n little job ou
hand which , It is honed , bo will attend to at
his earliest comenienco , and that is the abro
gation of the Idiotic law that denies a 'man
his base when struck on the hand or forearm
by n pitched ball. This rare piece of leglsln-
ti'on ccrtalnlv never evolved from Grandpa
Nick's Citglo brain , nnd 1 know n ; soon as his
massive ova falls on tills for grandpa has
'
read TIIU'UEI : for lol these ninny years ho
will set about securing its appeal ,
Wlion Indiruirfpolis wus hero the
last time , Frank Genius received n
etnasti on the hand from ono
of VicKory's cannon shots that fairly pulvor-
l/cd his arm up to the elbow. It not only
knocked him out of the game , but kept him
nn Uio bench for n week afterwards , nnd for
a tlmo it was highly doubtful whether ho
would ever permanently recover from the
hurt or not. It wus n hornblo smash , and
that night Frank's hand wus as black ns
your hat. But he novur got his base. Gun-
thcr. the novelist , was umpiring , nnd no jo-
fuscu to allow Genius to will It down , not ,
liouovor. because ha wus cognizant ol any
rule providing for such n decision , but because -
cause ho claimed that it was the wrong hand
that received the blow. Ho said ifitlmd
been his rlcht instead of bis. loft , ho would
Imvu nllowul Urn his base. And Kdltor
Hiuhtcr is so glad Guiithy , hU protege , is
doing well out west.
But to return to the rule In onostion. It
wgs originally formulated to reach the cnso
of such fo'xy boys ns Curt Welch. There is
the boy who can make his Oaso nbout twlca
out of three times by ndroltlv receiving the
ball against bis hand , arm or shoul
der , nnd n man who can nnd
does do this , Is not only deserving of Ills base ,
but ought to ba allowed to score , to boot.
But , in several particulars , there Isn't n tialf
dozen Curt Wclchs In tlio business. On the
contrary the average ball player is as fear
ful of being hit by tt.u ball , as hu Is of facing
his landlady , and the Welch trick wus a rare
one Indetid.

* What n pretty mois was mudo out of the
'Western league schedule In the first cham
pionship division this season , to bo sure.
This , however , was partly owing to tha pcr-
ilstont Interference of J. Pluvins , but mainly
to the bhortslghtodnoss of the schoaulo com

w'a's no reference whatever to the Western
league. Ho further savs that tbo matter of
duos could not coma before the league , but
instead would go to the board havlu ? caargo
the national agreement. It is stated in con
nection with tno Western league that , w'ullo
it , has suffered heavy financial loss during
tbo first half of the season , which was duo
to the weather , there Is reason to believe-
that all losses can bo recovered before the
close of the season in Sspteiubcr next. The

nothing but good weather and good ball play

mon , started bright nnd early Saturday
morning to visit Missouri Vnlloy , In. Ho
made the trip so easily that ha determined to
finish the day with n century sixty-two
miles no had aalready covered. After din
ner he started for Plattsmouth , n round trip
which would score forty-four miles. Out of
Omaha a short distance bo puntnrod his tire
and had to return for another mount. Tl.ls
ha scoured and proceeded on hii way , but
only reached Ln I'latto , where his tire punc
tured again. Koturnlng to Omaha ba ob
tained another mount and started for Cres
cent City , la. This trip ho made nil O. 1C. ,
and pulled Into Omnna as the dusky shade *
of night was falling , tlrod , dusty , hungry
and footsore but triumphant. Ho had rld-
dou his 1UU miles In juit eight hours und
thirty-one mlnuths. This is the lint cen
tury made by nn Omaha cyclist for iho
period of two years. Some of the old-tunors

qulto nervy as they whirled swiftly along
ever the smooth road , when n low rumble In
tholr roar warned them of rapidly approachIng -
Ing storm. The rain clouds came up very
fast and the storm wus fairly on them bmoro
they thought of soaking sboltcr. Tbo mud
clogged uji the sprocket wheels und chains
and riding being out of the question tbo be
draggled tourists took possession of a farm
er's barn and made themselves comfortable
until after the shower. Then ensued n weary
two hours of "mud plugging" along railroad
tracks and country roads. The club pulled
Into Omaha ut 13 o'clock , their clothing from
houd to foot being coated with a noltd muss
of mud. Several of tha boys spent an hour
or so washing the mud from tholr cycles ,
