ITS DIFFICULTIES
What the Players League Has
Before It
A STEEP AND TIRESOME ROAD
W I Harris Points Out Reasons for His Be
lief That the Brotherhood Has a Lot
4 cf Snags Ahead of It
To achieve permanent success the National
Players league has got to travel along a steep
and tiresome road blocked with many diffi
culties The player or capitalist engaged in
the movement who expects tosee the business
run along as smoothly as they have seen it
do under the direction of the National league
for several years past will meet with a severe
disappointment They might as well expect
to see the East River
bridge duplicated in a
year It wont move smoothly it cannot
move smoothly because the new league ia
not built on smooth tracks
There is a possibility that in those cities
where large profits are made if there should
prove to be any the friction in the wheels of
management would not be so noticeable or
S apt to cause trouble but even in those
cities there will be jealousies and bickerings
that the wisest heads in the new movement
will find themselves unable to allay
The method of management outlined is ex
perimental If it does not work it will have
to be changed It will be changed but it
will be a difficult task and a long task to in
augurate reforms when once the new League
gets a start And during this gradual
change which is bound to take years of ex
perience to bring about both capitalist and
player will have to hold together as one man
Will they do itl
The rock on which the new League may
have its first wreck will be the method of dual
management by players and capitalists And
in this I do not mean to infer that the players
do not possess among them men of sufficient
ability to run a business enterprise There
Jjfcre a number of men so qualified I do
Bat however that the great majority I may
say a vast majority cannot do it When you
come to the particular business enterprise of
running a ball club successfully the number
of players who could fill tho bill is infinites
maL If the players would be content to
trust their end of the business entirely to the
four men they are to select to represent them
in each club and devote their energy to
playing ball the scheme might work pro
vided those four men could work in har
mony But they wont and the reasons are
obvious Ball players are as a rule unedu
cated men and often dull men in everything
but the ability to play ball but I never met
one yet who did not have his idea of how a
baseball club ought to be run and I venture
to predict that those four player ventureoffi
will be so badgered by their fellows that life
Slml I boa burden to them
There will be strife among the four and
there will be strife between them and the di
rectors who will represent the capitalists If
the public flock to the games of the Players
league and the National league is deserted
and money flows in as most of the players
fondly imagine it will this strife I speak of
will not do great harm But where losses are
met where the nicest kind of management
is needed to float the clubs at all there will
be found the friction and when it come
down to a question as to whether the capi
talists or the players are to run the clubs
there will be a circus and there will be some
pretty queer ball playing
The chances of maintaining discipline in a
ball team four members of which are direc
tors in the club and all of whom have a say
in the selection of these directors seems to me
to be an impossibility for any length of time
The new League will discover this very early
in its career and the men whose money is at
stake will insist upon an amendment and
they will carry their point but they will do
so only at the lack of success and consequent
monetary loss
Without serious opposition the Players
League clubs in New York Boston Chicago
Philadelphia and Brooklyn could nmko
money With a divided patronage they
might make a little if they had any ad van
tage in the division of the receipts With a
divided patronage and an equal division they
will find it difficult to meet expenses and
Hl ies especially in Brooklyn Chicago and
uiladelphio They may have the best of
tie patronage at first but each season will be
harder ono thau the one which preceded it
Each one of these cities will have a salary
list of 50000
The list in Buffalo Cleveland and Pitts
burg may not be so large but it will not be
less than 40000 Can these cities support
two ball clubs No Can they support one
properly 1 Well its doubtful Cleveland
made a little money last season It never
did before Pittsburg cleared something
a few years ago It hasnt made a dollar
during the past three years indeed
the owners have had to put up some
thing out of their own pockets Buffalo never
made a dollar as a League club and has
never made anything worth talking about
wit a cheap team Of course none of these
cities ever got half the receipts away from
Lome Toni miy make a difference How
mU l1 Nobodv news Heretofore when
tae o j attraction drew good crowds at home
Cleveland and kite burg got 73 per cent
Now they will S11 only fifty Should they
prove poor attractions away from home will
tie extra Z iwr cent of a poor gate away
from oiro SKICU up for the same amount lost
from P gocu gate at home
Another factor is tho capitalists Will
they stick in poor paying cities If they do
not where is tho Brotherhood to obtain cities
to take their places that can support 40000
ball teams i Will tiio players who are not
capitalists be satisfied to see those who are
reap the lions share of the profits if there
arc any Will they be discontented when
they find that they cannot purchase stock
Will those who have signed for three fear
at 2000 and 2500 bo satisfied with these
s when they see men who have lost their
gffp as players getting twice as much and
perthaps not pla ing at all If these discon
tentments should arise would they affect the
playing of those feeling aggrieved and if the
cares and management and discontent that
might arise affected the playing of tho men
would it affect the gate receipts And if so
to what extent Would the public be made
to believe that there was no hippodroming
These und a hundred other questions might
be asked and then not exhaust the subject
The players will not have a bed of roses to
lie on They will have a fierce opposition to
fight both in brains and money If they are I
wise if they are harmonious if they stand by
each other if tho capitalists stand by them
if they change their methods of management
they may ir bans in four or five years build
up structure > that will stand and will pay
pros but there will be a pile of money lost
in the operation You see there arc a good
many us about it and Just at present most
of them are not giving either tho players or
their backers the slightest uneasiness
Theyll be on hand just the same

My husband remained in America play

A Knock Down for the Officer
He was an army officer with headquarters
In the Phelan building she is the wife of a
prominent business man in the east the other
he is tho business man who just arrived from
tho east The officer saw her in the elevator
and veteran as Lois surrendered at a single
glance When ho reached the dining room
she was seated and he took a seat at the same
table for a display of kindly attention he
received a smile but his efforts at conversa
tion were not encouraged
One evening he was late the seats attho
table were all occupied and he noticed with
dismay that in his chair was a stout old gen
tleman who was paying a fatherly attention
to the lady who did not seem to accept his
kindness in the spirit in which it was offered
After dinner the warrior strode into the par
lor The old gentleman was there and the
officer accosted him
Excuso me sir n ho said but do you
knovr the lady on whom you forced jour at
tention this evening l
wilyIII know her I saw her to
night for the first time
Well sir your impudence is amazing
cried the officer and may be excused only
on the score of your ago That lady is under
my care sir
Indeed permit me to thank you for your
kindness The lady is my wife
The respect I have for the army is my rea
son for withholding the officers nameD

Coming Down to a Fine Point
There is a good story told of the economical
qualities of twowell known and wealthy gen
tlemen living in the east part of town that is
a good lesson for these recklessly extravagant
persons who aro not possessed of the true
spirit of economy On a certain night one of
these gentlemen called on the other to trans
act a little business at the formers residence
The host lighted a candle that they might ex
amine some papers but immediately blew it
out again when they were through leaving
them both sitting in the dark
What made you blow out the candle in i
quired the caller <
Cb we can talk in the dark as well as in
the light and it saves the candle was the re
ply
piyThey
They continued their conversation for a
short time when the host heard some myste
rious sounds coming from the direction of
the callers chair and inquired what his
friend was doing
Why was the reply its dark in here
and no one can see me so I thought I would
take off my pants to save the wear on them
