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

Vomers of the Naps has financed To

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

be disclosed It Is believed that major
league magnates would be found to
