Big League Clubs Get Away With That Many Each Sea con. Twenty thousand tails are used annually by the major league clubs during the training' trips and championship cam paigns. John Arnold! Ileydler, secretary-treasurer of the Na tional league, reports that last year the teams in bis organiza tion called on the manufacturers to furnish them with 800 dozen spheres. Tbe Cincinnati Reds used the most balls, and then tcame the Pittsburg Pirates, the Giants, tbe Phillies, the Boston Doves, the Brooklyn Superbas and tbe St Louis Cardinals. The watchdog of the National league treasury will not tell 2 what price the clubs pay for the official balls, but one closely as sociated with one of the manu facturers Insinuates that persons who guess that a major league club spends about f 1,000 a year ; 7..r -r.- r-.-i -r "f the way. Each ball, therefore, costs probably 80 cents.

While the prospects of the teams Jn the major leagues will be a subject of interest to baseball enthusiasts even If as far removed from the games as Is New York from San Francisco, the possibilities of the season of 1910 cnu not be reviewed without the minor league situations being sized up. i In ' the smaller organizations m;in agers of the teams have a harder task than those In the big circuits. The manager of a club in the major leagues can stand pat on his team if he chooses to, but such is not the case within tbe minors. Every year big Inroads are made in nearly every club, and the stars are gobbled up by - the big leaguers. When the .time conies for the manager of the minor league club to make up his team for the season be has to do some great seoiitlng before be can get together a 'winning combi nation. Every year intense interest is displayed in the fights for the much coveted gonfalon ,in the smaller 'clr ' cults. In the some thirty odd minor leagues in organized baseball there is represented an ' invested capital of $20,000,000, and last season over 24,- 000,000 people attended the games. In spite of the scattered discussion during the winter to the effect that the American association might put up a firebrand and toss it. into organized baseball, there Is nothing which would Indicate that the minors will not enjoy more prosperity than ever before. Amerioan Association. '. In tbe -American association another grand straggle is anticipated. From present Indications the second division teams of last season will be heard from this year. St Paul Toledo, Co lumbus and Kansas City have all been strengthened up so much that the first division Is beginning, to, get nervous at to .Id .welfare. ' . :: Manager Carr of ' Indianapolis . has succeeded ia . gathering- together an Imposing Array of, baseball talent and by many is looked upon as the one best .bet for the flag this season- Ills material judging from the records, Is classy, but it Is on the field and not on paper that strength counts. . , . The Minneapolis club appears to be just as strong a hitting clnb as that of last season and a far better field- ing aggregation. , -. v Columbus hss , landed many : good ones, and Manager Frlel figures his On KXLLXT, KANAOSa OT THS TOSOHTO TZAM. .. . team will be In the hunt this season. Manager McCloskey of Milwaukee, whose team finished second last year, has a formidable aggregation to han dle this year and says be will make them all hustle to beat it out To ledo fans are placing their hopes on "Ducky" Ilolmes, the new man ager of the team. Many changes have been made In the St PauLleajn since Baseball Season Leagues.... -a year, u uc u i-itisr pears stronger than last season. Many critics figure that Danny Shay will give the Kansas City fans a pen nant winning team- this season. Lou lsTllle, last year's pennant winner, looks good on paper. Judging by pres ent indications the hottest race this season In the history of the associa tion is expected, s V' ' ':; Eastern League, , .' As is the case" every year, many Eastern League clubs have parted with their stars to the major leagues, but as there Is always a plentifulncss of good material on hand to whip to gether a winning combination the loss of these men will not weaken the ma jority of teams. ; , Manager John Canzel and his Roch Chester band of bustlers are surely in line for another flag. "Silent John has corralled many good ones and will make bis rival go Borne to beat him OUt ." .," : Although big inroads hare been made in Joe McClcnity's Newark team since, last season' he bag good material on hand to whip together a winning combination. . ; ' ' v Joe Keller, manager of thct Torprto rlnb. has been hard at work with the wruMJt ooooBxnv , nsor cs wxuiajo- yowcLCB. ?v . 1 f .. team since the men started training. Joe tried his best to get Willie Heeler to sign a contract at a fat salary, but "Willie the wee" figures be has many more major: league seasons in him. Kelley has many veterans pn the team ; and -will surelv make a anod fUht for j the banner. ; Buffalo and Providence i are sure, to be much stronger than they were last year. Manager Jack Ryan. of Jersey City eavs he Is confident that he will 'have a first division ball club this season... Ryan has had twenty-four years' ex- perlence in baseball and should be able to look out for himself in any deals pulled oft '. ! ' '-.jy, ' Although,-: Baltimore made a. very poor showing in 1909, Manager Dunn Is sure that the Orioles will make a much better showing to this season's race. Another hot fight is expected in the Southern association,; Last year's fight ALFALFA HAY ( We have just received a quantity I :! of the BEST s-Stanchfield )l?i6i9Qi;- FLOUR, FEED, WOOD 14lO Adams Ave. 1 ' ;.: " ' ' ''" Gomplete equipment for rubber buggy tires.

The fout leading teams of last season have not been weakened to any great extent by the major leagues. Atlanta, winner of last year's banner; Nashville, tbe runner up; Montgomery and New Orleans, that finished third and. fourth respectively,' are ready to put up a strong fight The outlook, for the season ' in the Tri-state league is most promising. Owners and managers declare , that this year's race will be every bit as Interesting as the one in 1901), Martv JJogau and bis Lancaster team are out to make two straight but will find strong opposition from Reading and Willlamsport Intense interest Is being displayed In the Western league this season. Lat year's struggle was such a good one that it has left a lasting impression, Des Moines, the club that slipped into first position, beating out Sioux City by the narrow margin of two points, has as strong a team as last season and Is expected to repeat V International Chess. Oxford and Cambridge have at last been heard from In regard to the an nual cable chess match with the Amer ican colleges. They announce that an official challenge will be forthcoming shortly.
