The California league has adopted another eastern innovation and* will have a staff of salaried umpires. Smith and Mullane are said to have made nearly 4500 apiece last season for extra win­ ning games pitched. If, the Cincinnati team clears more than expenses on the present trip, thd surplus will be divided among the players. It is thought that the southern trip will cost Uw Cincfiinati club in the neighborhood of 61,500, but good luck expenses may be cleared. \ From Omaha comes word that Van Dyke, of the De Moines team, has challenged Sun­ day, of the Pitteburgs, to run him a 100 yard dash for 6250 a side. Many of the players who wintered in Cali­ fornia are heavily in debt to Hart and Foutz, who acted as bankers, to the tune of several thousand of dollars.

He said he had until March to con­ sider the matter and his decision would then be made public. Harry Wright thinks Billy Sunday will strengthen the Pittsburg nine in base run- jing.
