just wnm means were uneu in mo i
''selling out" process are not quite clear.
but It Is said that some of the men deeply
Interested In the new league made a deal
-,1th the National league whereby the
National league people were to reimburse
them for all the money they had put Into
the new proposition and give them a
handsome bonus In addition, for getting
, put of the new league's affairs, and Using
whatever Influence they had to further
loosen the .props of the new league.
When a number of the backers of the
new league suddenly withdrew their sup
port. In keeping with the alleged "selling
out" process, the foundation of the new
league weakened. The players who had
hurdled to the new organization then be
came panicky and were quite willing to
git back Into the National league field.
It Has been said that the backers ot
the Players' league suffered a. loss of
about 11.000,000. This figure seems greatly
exaggerated. In the first place a fran
chlse, players, grounds and nearly every
thing ft major league club needed didn't
cover a cost of much over 100,000 In those
days and every dollar that waa put Into
U enterprise wasn't a dead loss.
Also It must be borne In mind that If
this story about "rolling out" Is true,
that frome of those who backed the Play
ers' league got out of It with a profit,
attd that the total loss suffered by the
rrtrt behind the Players' league didn't
cllM that which the National league
WAS rnade to suffer.
Tfctafore, If these stories from the
p4i issums the proportion ot fitcla, It
wili lea seen that the Players league and
tHs federal league cannot furnish any
suitaMs parallel unles soma of th Fe Ji
4U out to Orgaatsed Baseball, a possi
bility that Is very, very remote.
What the Players Leasrao Did.
The Players league made a greater
showing. In some ways, than the Feds
have dons. The Players' league opened the
a4m with practically the cream of tne
talent of the National league. Of all US
Mars ot the year before, the National
league had left only a handful, and their
lineups looked strange and very "buah
leaguey." The Players' league failed to live, but
It won out In Its purpose to force an
agreement among magnates concerning'
the splitting oJt the attendance so that
the smalt town players would get nearly
as much money as those In the larger
ones,
In the days before the formation ot
the Players' league the visiting teams
were rjot glyen a percentage of the gate,
but were allowed something like $100 a
day. This hardly met traveling expenses
and In small towns the owners ot the
teams, that had to depend on the home
gate receipts for paying iff their players
could afford to pay the men only small
salaries, while In cities like New York
ahd Chicago the home receipts were very
large and, of course, the players on these
teams drew down big salaries.
The" .players wanted some equitable ar
Mngeme'at, and when the magnates ot
the big towns refused to change the plan
ef allowing visiting teams only $100 In
Mtead ot splitting the Income W-50, the
players decided to form their own leagtie
and work along on this basis.
Natloaal Lea goo Adopts Plan,
however, after the Flayers' league went
Into the scrap heap, the National league
ifrted the splitting Idea from the wreck
age and adopted It to Its own uses.
Were the old plan ot guaranteeing the
Visiting team an allowance of about S100
a day still In existence. It would mean
that such teams, as the Giants, Phillies,
Athletics and other 'good home drawing
teams would make about six million ko-
necks each year while the Browns, Car
dlnals and other perpetual toil-enders
Vould suffer tremendous and ruinous
ioses.

We enjoyed the Daly-BUItter wrestling

much chiefly because we didn't see It.
Latest reports are that Charley Dooln

Charley play two men at shortstop, as
t would easily take three to do the work

Jim Qtlmore of the Feds Is starting to

expect to soon learn that mora Jump

the absence of Captain Whitney will un

sively and offensively, regardless ot the
player chosen to replace the former
leader. It Is considered oxtremely un
fortunate among pololsts that the In-
Jury which Incapacitated him should
have ocourred so soon before the Inter
national contest. This Is especially true
since the English team was changed on
ths eve ot sailing for America from a
third-class combination to a formidable
four fully on a par as regards playing
strength, with any previous team to in
vade the United States in quest ot the
polo cup.
