So. draft -the .plans., for, h approachuig' bain ball Season. All the magnates will appear on the scene of action, which promises to bo a consid erable scene before ill! tho debris la re moved. Holland; Rourko and Isbell are unanlmoua In their Ideas of a successful iiiapagemen.t of tho league, but Kd Han lon, lnn Breese, -Hugh .Jones and Archie Oatlln aro Just bubbling1 over with per sonal Inspirations which they Intend to thrust upon the other members, of the circuit. Thus tho "peaceful argument." Sam for Knch Gnine. Tho first Item which will arouse tho wrath of several of the monarchs Is the $123 flat guarantee suggested by the board of directors for .each game. Al though It would be a benefit to some ot tho club owners It will bo tho rovers for others. Denver may vote In favor, but It Is certain that 'Breese, Jones, Hanlon" and Catlln will cut loose with long, and vociferous howls ot protest. Tho afore mentioned gents are proprietors of. fran chises in tho smaller cities and they will fight a long time before they will agree to cough up. the" cherished coffers about five days, out .of se.vetj. As it will take affirmative votes by six of the mags, to shoot the suggestion over the plate it Jan bo seen Just , how much' chance there Is of such a thing happening.. But It Is certain that a. scrap will ta..e place be fore It Is Irrevocably squelched. Season Guarantee. Next comes the $3,000 guarantee to fin ish the season. A. majority vote" only is necessary to pass that bylaw and It will probably pass. All clubs except the Kansas clubs will, probably accede that the season guarantee Is a good thing, so It should pass. But the Kansas vil lages aro going to protest and therein lies: another argument or perhaps a con tinuation of the first. Kansas- will, be defeated though and If .Wichita Is forced to abandon he circuit, before, the season Is concluded,, P)j .otherteajns, will get some consolaUon'ffaM).o'W0. Wn&tVikoiieer Season. Tha board. of directors also suggested; a schedule of ICS days. Another mooted question. Rourke, Holland, and Isbell figured that the additional expense wbuld only bo sahirley for eleven days and traveling expenses for seven days. With, the salary expense at the limit and hotel bills the highest, the- additional expenso would not exceed 'nlm or t.i.700, whllo In those eleven days would be two Satur days and two Sundays, which would clear tho expense without difficulty.

BY P. S. HUNTER. When a base ball fan glances over tho prospective lists of tho Federal leaguo players, It Is a safe bet that ho over looks one very Important Item. He for gets that there, were eight clubs in tho league .list year, and that each and every club possessed some players who would b excellent timber for a major league team today. Thoso players will return In tho spring and, although they must necessarily be tho "goats" for tho big salaries of the Jumpers from organized ball, they will be a large factor In mak ing,, base ball successful in the outlaw organization.

Of course, as Pa says, it Is custom for players to delay signing just as long as possible.
