Joe Vila, leading baseball author- ity, says: "The International League, as it is to-day, probably will be dis- banded on March 25th. When the circuit gives up the ghost I hear that a plan will be sprung to reorganize it with new backers in several cities. Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, is the prime mover. He has been working quietly for a month, and has laid his wires with great care. According to onsiders Dunn's reorganization plan involves eight cities--Richmond, Baltimore, Wilmington, Del., New ark, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffal) and Toronto, "This arrangement have been established and maintained for more than three-quarters of a century by exact and painstaking methods in malting the grain, by which the exact degree of germina- tion is infallibly obtained. .

"A lot of birds in New York are!' sorry 1 can't say the same about the New York club," came back Speaker. Joe Wood, stated on the bench, saw fit -to criticize a decision by Billy Evans at Boston. It was a hot day and Evans did not enjoy being criticized. "Call 'em when they're over, Bill, yelled Wood. "I think I can umpire without any help from you." "Well, you missed one then." "If 1 were you I would devote all my time to getting my arm into shape instead of trying to umpire. Jim*Dunn may not always be so easy." Woot subsided. But, on his way to the dugout he stopped at the plate long enough to remark: "No hard feelings, Bill, I was just trying to let Boston fans know I still was with the club."

Thousands of baseball fans will re- gret to learn that the New York Legislature has decided to sidetrack the measure to permit the playing of games for admission fees on Sun- day. At a caucas of Senators in Al- bany it was decided not to introduce the bill in the Upper House.

While organized base- ball men have taken no active part in the fight, and are believed to be indifferent, it is known that they would gladly contribute to these worthy causes if the Legislature voted favorably. ER HA Hurls Disappearing Ball. Pitcher James Ray Walker will bring something mew to the Nation. al League--the disappearing ball-- when he lies up with the Cubs this season. It is said to be more mys- teribus than Matthewson's famous fadeaway was. 2 "It's the greatest thing I've seen in baseball," said Manager Mitchell. "The ball seems to become invisible on leaving the pitcher's hand and does not reappear until so close to the batter as to be almost impossible to hit. And Walker has excellent control of it." yyy TRY ' 9c. Poet Cigar 5c I -- m------------ Look for Silk Thread on Tip of Each Cigar. : S.
