its championship fight anil while the other leagues throughout the country were hard at It in their respective contests a baseball revolution took place Quietly which may mean much for the future of the great national game The action took place out in Chicago The delegates representing eleven minor leagues gathered in the Windy City and organized Into a protective association which has for its purpose the preservation of the rights of tue minor leagues The movement Is or far reaching Importance to the game Its real meaning is that the sceptre of power has forever passed out of the hauds of the major league that In the future it will not be the one leading organization or the two If two remain that will dominate the baseball world but a majority of all the leagues with the rights of the lowdest respected equally with the greatest This will be the condition in the future provided the minor leagues hold together and decline to give up one jot of the power that hasueen fairly thrust upon them One thing is certain that for the time being at least the minors will run things to suit themselves and the majors will find they are up against a tough proposition The position taken by the minors was thrust upon them That is apparent A few weeks ago notices were sent out by President Young of the National league warning the minors that the national agreement the bulwark of the game was to be suspended At the same time there was evidence on all sides that the American league with that supreme disregard of the rights of all other organizations which It has shown from Us inception wus preparing to make a wholesale ruid on the minor league players without the slightest thought of the interests of the men who bad developed them Then it was that the minor league men were forced to take action That action crystalized into form at the meeting held in Chicago At that time a formal declaration of independence was made and a new constitution prepared At this meeting there were present representatives from eleven minor leagues covering the country from Maine to California These organizations were: New England league Connecticut State league New York State league Southern league Southwestern league Eastern league I I league Western league Western association Pacific Northwestern league and California league The delegates made the following declaration in substance: "That the minor leagues form an organization to be known as the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues that the organization shall proceed to formulate an agreement which shall protect all leagues that all leagues shall Immediately forward their reserve list and that all the clubs in the organization bind themselves to respect their lists that all the player in this organization be notified and that any player leaving the services of any club party to this agreement without the consent of the local club owner shall be permanently disqualified from entering the service of any club party to this agreement it was further provided that committees should be named to carry out these plans and also to make contract and playing rules Officers were chosen and the plan of agreement presented to be formally approved at the meeting which will be held in New York on October 24 The delegates got right to work on the proposed new national agreemnt They took the old one went over It carefully and then made such ameudments as were thought necessary Here are some of the changes made: The agreement Is to be called National Agreement of the National Association of Professional Baseball The fees for membership under It will be as follows: For each club in Class A $50 for each club in Class $30 for each club In Class $20 for each club in Class $10 The drafting scale will be as follows: For players In Class $300 for players in Class $200 for players In Class $100 The players' rights are considered in the following section: "No selec tion shall be enforced and no transfer of a player shall be nmde without the player's There is next a section which fixes the salary Unit of the clubs and another which classifies the leagues according to the aggregate population of the cities In each league Class A leagues have a limit of $1-000 a month for salaries and individual maximum of $175 a month ClassB clubs may have a salary expense of $1-000 a month and must not pay any one player more than $125 In Class the figures-run $300 and $1000 while for Class I) they are $700 and $76 In classfylug the leagues It Is provided that all over 1000000 population must be in Class A over 400000 to 1- 1 000000 Class over 200000 and un- der 400000 Class 200000 Class This rating would bring the State league into Class as the aggregate population of the towns In this league is over 400000 even without Hartford The salary limit as given in Class is just about what the managers of this league pay now although here and there the individual limit has been exceeded It will be necessary under the circumstance for the directors of the OVER MAJOR TAYLOR An audience of about 2500 witnessed the bicycle races at the Hartford Velodrome last night and saw some exciting sport The chief interest was in the five-mile national championship race for professionals in which such stars as Major Taylor Frank Kramer ami Fenn met riders of acknowledged speed The race went to Frank Kramer and by winning it he become the national champion for the year He added eight points to his score last evening making his total eighty points Major Taylor added two points to his score making his total for the season sixty-six score was thirty-four before the race and he did not add to it iver Lawson whose total in the national championship I is fifty did not start The last of the national championships will be run off at New Haven this evening but total Is so high that It cannot be beaten The race was marred somewhat by a cumber of accidents On the twentieth lap of the final heat Fenn and McFarland of San Jose Cal went into a collision on the lower turn and both riders were thrown to the track McFarland had gone up the track across Fenn and the latter ran Into him wheel was badly wrecked Fenn was scratched on his left side and received a slight cut on the head McFarland was cut on his left knee Both riders were considerably shakes up and did not appear in the one-mile' professional race in which they were entered On the last lap of the championship rice Major Taylor In striving for the lead broke a toe clip and finished in third place In the Australian pursuit race there were four starters Galvin Cannon and Davis of Hartford and Comber of Elmwood Cannon passed Davis and Calvin In turn and a spirited contest ensued between him and Comber On the twenty-first lap or nearly at the end of three and one-half miles Comber overtook Cannon and so won the race The one-mile professional handicap was a very pretty contest In the final heat Bowler of Chicago Lester Wilson of Pittsburg and John Bedell of Lyn-brook I put forth their best efforts and the race finally went to Bowler in the fast time of two mir utes Major Taylor finished in the ruck As a special feature Gadvln of Hartford went a mile against the best amateur unpaced record for the dis tance of 2:12 4-6 He succeeded in lowering the record but by a watch beat only his time being 2:12 3-6 The injuries to Fenn and McFarland although disagreeable were not considered to be of a serious character and the men will doubtless soon be able to ride again YALE TRACK TEAM WILL LEAVE NEW HAVEN TO MEET HARVARD TO-MORROW To-morrow morning the Yale track team will leave this city for New York where they will meet tae Harvard men in competition to determine tne makeup of the team which will meet the Englishmen on September 26 This competition will take place on the Berkeley Oval and some great work Is expected It will reaily be a test as to the merits of the Americans as their team will be made of the best men and necessarily the competition will be keen George Stillman is in New Haven and will make up the squad of ten men which will represent Yale The Harvard squad numbers nineteen men at the present time The races to be held Wednesday will be trial races and the finals will be held on Thursday or Friday The men of both universities are in excellent shape and are doing good work in their respective training ROQUE GAMES SCHEDULED There was no game in the roqne tournament last evening The drawings for the rest of the week are as follows: Tuesday Crawford and Wednesday Donovan and Norton Thursday Tompkinson and Tmmich Friday Immieh and Crawford Saturday Donovan and Grino'J FIRST LADIES' AID The Aid society of the First church will postpone their meeting until September 25 State league to meet in special session very soon to take some action in regard to playing the membership fee and to send In the reserved list as soon as possible The most important action taken by the organization is that which relates to players The big leagues if they do not come to an agreement with the i new organization can come into this league and take a player without pay- lng for him but that will forever bar that player from playing with any club In this organization The young player will naturally hesitate some time before he jumps as it will mean the certain loss of Ills job In the future if he fails to make good in the big leagues Health for ten cents Cascarets make the bowels and kidneys act naturally destroy microbes cure headache bllllousneBS and constipation All druggists TRACE EOR SMALL PRICES A big price always mean a great race horse There have been several Instances where small fortunes have been "paid for horses that have proved failures Thoroughbreds are sold when they are a year old Buying yearlings is very much In the nature bf a the prizes few and the blanks many Ring Thomas cost more than $40000 as a -yearling and he won but $500 during his career on the turf Leonora Lorlhg the prize of last crop cost 4150 and she has already earned $28110 this season During the last decade and a half there have been several horses that were bought for a song as yearlings that subsequently turned out to be great racers Perhaps the most famous of these was Barnum a big gelding by Bonnie -Charlotte Thompson Karnum was so stunted and miserable looking as a yearling that he was laughed and jeered at At first no price was forthcoming for him but finally the eloquence of the auctioneer elicited a $50 bid Barnum did not develop his prowess until late in life As a two-year-old he was a failure at three he won a poor race but at the age of four years he was a race horse of the highest type He raced against and beat some of the best horses of his age and finally capped the climax of his career when he ran a dead heat with the famous Miss Woodford at two miles in the great Long Island Stakes at Sheeps-head Bay Woodford who owned Barnum would have insisted on a run-off only the Dwyer Bros who owned Miss Woodford at the time told him he could have the full value of the stake if he would be content to let the race stand as a dead beat Dwyer had one of his famous plunge bets down on Miss Woodford and as she was totally exhausted at the finish and would have been defeated by a great horse at in the run-off Dwyer took this means of saving part of his wager winnings during his career amounted to nearly $30-000 and placed AJr Woodford in comfortable circumstances for several years The latter-day racegoers are not aware that a little black filly by Re-forpa Clara made a switchman -on the old Culver steam railroad to Coney Island rich for the remainder of his life But such is the fact Warnke had saved up a few hundred dollars and when his son who rode some cross country horses for Jimmy Shields told him that he knew of a yearling that would prove fast he was willing to go the limit of his savings and buy her He secured her for $500 Reclare as the filly was called proved a wonder as a two-year-old She won nearly $50000 in purses stakes and bets that season Brjen a clever horseman but an inveterate gambler had much to do with success He and Henry Sclr'Hz a heavy plunger in those backed Reclare heavily and won a fortune on her But the money won did not do either any good Henry Schultz is now and Brlen Is keeping his soul from saying goodby to his body by serving as cook for a few miners up in theKlondike Warnke kept his earhings and bought a nice house and grounds at Gravesend He sold Reclare for $20-000 to Dwyer and was then lucky enough to buy Stonenell a chestnut colt by Stonehenge Nell for $1200 This youngster also proved to be a great sprinter He won a number of races and bent a great many fast horses before Dwyer bought him from Warnke for $12000 A few years agb Jere Dunn paid $75 for a yearling filly by Meta He named her Sunny Slope She won a number of valuable races for him as a two and a three year old In the Brighton cup of 1897 she was beaten two Inches by The Friar So close was the finish that many thought it a dead heat Behind Sunny Slope was the great horse Ben Brush Sunny Slone was the apple of Jere eye She was worthy of his affection With part of her winnings he purchased an elegant home in a pretty village of New Jersey and soon after took unto himself wife His old favorite Sunny Slope is now a matron Her daughter by Applegate is called Sun Shower and recently finished third to leonora Loring in the Great Filly Stakes worth $28000 Great horses are born not made As yearlings no one can tell whether they will grow to first class or degenerate into To secure a great on all one needs is a little money and a great deal of luck But the fortuuatet are few REUNION OF FOURTEENTH The
