"Catarrh Is a local President Van Dcrbeck of the Detroit club had the baseball world guessing when ha went after the Louisville National league team and it was only the failure of the Colonels to guarantee a delivery that prevenuxl the local magnate from closing up the deal Now another Western league magnate bobs to tlie front with a project that is feasible and it is none other than the genial and yoputr Tom Loftus ot Dubonue Ja who owns the Columbus club Tom has had major league experience a a manager in Luth Cincinnati and Cleveland and he was also an outfielder ot note back in the early days ot the esaociatlon when he played on the St Lmls team and contained that aggregation before Ccmiskey took hold and taad" tlxm the famous four time winners lxttua Quit baneoall ot his own accord as he has business interests in Dubuque that demanded hl attention: but the old fever returned and as he ha a partner to entrust his affairs to he se cured a Western league franchise in 1806 and lo cated in Columbus Lxdtus 1 ambitious as well capaJHe and le anxious to shine a a major leagn magnate where ere is a chance to add to his bank account He has had offers to manage major league olubs in the past three years but like Coiky ti med them all down preferring to operate a club of his own rather than work for a salary That does not indicate that he will not Invest hi money in a major league club however and in a letter to a close friend in this city he discloses his plans It they go through the West ern league will lose one of Its brainiest and most valued members but It will be a distinctive gain to the big organization If a man of caliber is admitted to the deliberations of the body that controls professional baseball in this country Loftus wants the St Lcuf franchise and the once famous Browns He will not try to swing it alone but ie one of a syndicate of substantial business men who stand ready to put in a bld for the remnant of Von der Ahe'e greatness Tty order of the court the club will be sold within thirty days and there will be some spirited bid ding beyond all doubt Loftus will go to St leruls next week to confer with other members of the syndicate which has been quietly organized this winter with the object in view of secur ing what Js known rto be a paying Investment if the club la properly handled St lajuls is one of the best baseball cities in the country if a fair team makes it headquarters there but tha miserable excuse of a club that Von der Ahs 5ms had the part few years practically killed th sport: It will quickly revive if the club is In good hAnde and the experience of Von der Ahe proves that thers Is big nr ney in it An I effort has apparently been made to scare other bidders away so that Robison of Cleve land: would have a clear field a the statement Is to circulation that the league willretnee to recognize any purchaser other than Robison This does not worry Loftus or the other members of hi syndicate In tha least and they will be on the spot prepwreil to pay right price for the property when it is offered side It goeswithout saying that Loftus would manage the olub If his syndicate secures it and as he has always been opposed to the farming evil he will sell his Western League club if the other deal foes through will be done with the enators until it is definitely known how the st Louis affair 1 straighten ad out but Columbus fans can cheer up a trifle as if Loftus beats Robison out for the St Louis club the Western League win not get a cnarice to put a team Cleveland The
