"SPORTING LIFE ©© READERS, however, know well that base ball does not end, even for the time being, with the close of the playing, season, and, therefore, they do not confine themselves to such baseball news as is sparingly ladled out in the off-season by the daily papers, because they know that thereby they would deprive themselves not only of a great pleasure but they also would lose the thread and trend of base ball affairs, inasmuch as what they witness on the field all summer is only the fruition of the labors, the struggles, the planning and the scheming of the winter all along the line in the major leagues, in the great AA and A leagues, and in all that vast net-work of leagues covering this enormous country from Canada to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
