BASEBALL CLUBS LOOK TOTUTURE Major Leagua Coin In Many of Minor Circuits, IS FOR SELF PROTECTION, Big Magnates Rcaohing Out For Mara Profits and Now Raoruits Dstroit Ownjr Bought Providence Club Out right Last Winter. It will not be long before every base bnll club In the International league and the American association Is con trolled by major league promoters. Tbe minor circuits, particularly those In Class AA. are gradually increasing their patronage to such a degree that the big magnates see handsome profits therein. Not only the chance to cut minor league coupons actuates this de sire to Increase their baseball holdings, but tbe major fellows also figure that In due time they can develop their own ball players without resorting to tbe purchase or draft system. Some per sons may call such plans greedy, while others may sayjt Is good business pol icy, but tbe fact remains that the big magnates are making their, influence felt in the smaller leagues. The International league consists of Jersey City, Newark, Providence, Bal timore, Toronto, Montreal. Buffalo and Rochester. : How many ot these clubs are con trolled by residenta of the cities named ? The Jersey City club Is owned by J. D. Lillls, nn attorney of' that city, and Hugh JIcBreenl formerly business manngeTbf the Boston Red Sox. Mc Breen purchased a half interest last winter, backed presumably by John 1. Taylor, half owner . of the Boston American league club. McBreen paid about $10,000 for his share In tbe club and brought along Jnnvrln, McHale, Purtell, Mains, Callahan, Ktlllluy and other men who doubtless belong to the merit tneir services are desired. . Joseph McGlnnity, weary of owning tbe Newark ?llb spld a black of the stock" lasT fall Id George Salmon of New York city. Salmon Is a traveling man; also a, f a u who discovered ' Znch Wheat and promptly recommend ed him to the Brooklyn club. The dis covery earned for Salmon the position of chief scout, but he never found an other Wheat' It niny be a case of friendship or it may be strictly busi ness that President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club has turned over to the Reworks' such men. as George Bell, Bergen, Zimmerman, Dalton, Ragon and several others. Ebbets never has taken the trouble to deny the report that Salmon bought the stock with ma jor league money. The Providence club was sold lock, stock and barrel to Owners Yawkey and Navln of tbe Detroits last winter. The price pnid -was $75,000.. and it is believed that Hugh Jeuuiugs has been let into the good thing.. Jennings has turned over half n dozen, players to Manager Fred Lake. 7 It has been reported from time to time that Connie Mack of the Athletics has a piece of the Baltimore club. This belief became general when he was re ported to. have pnid $12,000 for Lefty Russell. :i pitcher who never 1ms made pood with tbe world's clinmplnus. When Mack turned over Dygert to tbe Orioles mid grabbed Catcher Egali Inst year many sharks winked knowingly. Me liaSM'uriiod over several players to the Monumental City this season. The Now York Americans have no financial Interest in tile Rochester club, but the malingers have close business relations. Wolverton bus turned back Osborn to Ganzol, while last fall the latter purchased Wnltcr Blair. A year ago Gnnze! secured Hughes and Mitch ell from the Highlanders, wbo Inter purchased Simmons and McCounell. If Simmons and McCounell do not coiuo up to Wolverton's standard they'll go back to Rochester. President Brush of the New York Giants does not believe in outside in vestments, but Manager McGravr ree fers to do business with tbe Toronto club, managed by his old friend Joe Kelley. When McGraw wants to have a player developed be turns him over to Kelley. Tesreau, picked up in Texas a year .ago. was groomed In Toronto during Inst season and has gone back to the Polo grounds looking like the renl article. The Cleveland club Is generally rec ognized as the ownex of the' Toledo H. A. CroBby, postmaster at Boemjr Neb., who has been visiting the J. W. Bush home here, left this morning In company with Mr. Bush for Eugene. Portland and coast towns Intending to be gone several days and on the'r re turn Mr. Crosby win spend ft few days here. If Commercial Job Printing For Next Thirty Days THE EVENING OBSERVER'S Job Department has just received a shipment of Paper Stock that was bought away below the market price, ft was a cleanup sale of a paper house and we got the benefit or prices. Tbe aviincji es For we will quote low prices on Work for the Next Thirty Days. Ftrstclass MAIN Vomers of the Naps has financed To ledo for several years, while mnny Cleveland players have been sent there to have the rough edges smoothed. Charles Webb Murphy of the Chi cago Cubs denies that he Is behind the Louisville American Association club, and President Grayson corroborates him. But the fact Is that these clubs have frequently exchanged players. ack Pfelster, for Instance, was recent ly turned over to the Cubs by the Kentucky magnate. If the Inside ma chinery In other Class A A clubs could be disclosed It Is believed that major league magnates would be found to fie more than casually Interested the( old story of wheels within wheels.
