The New York Club
of the American
League to Build
a New Ball Park
at Kingsbridge,
Upon Which Work
Will Be Rushed
to Enable the
Club to Open It
May 30th, 1911.
BY JOSEPH VILA.
EW YORK CITY, September 19.
Unless there is some unexpected
hitch in the plans, the Highland
ers will open next season at their
new park, Broadway and 225th
street,
Kingsbridge.
President
Farrell said yesterday that orders
have been issued to hurry the work and that
all contracts will be let within a week. "If
the work can be hurried," said President
Farrell, ©©we will be able to open the new
grounds on or about April 15. It is our plan
to have them ready then, if possible; if not,
we will move in early next Spring, maybe
before Decoration Day. Our present grounds
have proved too small for some of the great
holiday and Saturday crowds and we are go
ing to provide room for all at our new plant.
New Yorkers have warranted this investment
by their magnificent patronage of the High
landers, and we feel that they are entitled
to the best ball park in America, regardless
of cost." The
SITE AT KINGSBRIDGE
must be filled to the depth of twenty feet.
The ground at present is partly under water
and is a huge marsh. To build a solid play
ing surface and groundwork for foundations©
to support the immense steel and concrete
stands hundreds of thousands of cubic yards
of rock and earth must be dumped on the
property. This undertaking rests with the
New York Central, and it is understood that
before the first of October a spur track will
run off the main line at Kingsbridge for the
shipment of material excavated at the Fortysecond street terminal. If this work pro
gresses with the expected rapidity the plant
will© be leveled and ready for the fences and
stands before the first of the year. According
to
THE ARCHITECTS© PLANS
the grand stand will be a double-decker of
concrete and steel, with room for 20,000
Beats. The open stands, similarly constructed,
will seat 25,000 more, and yet the surface
of the playing field will be greater than that
of the Polo Grounds. There will be elaborate
quarters for the players, club officials, um
pires, police and fire departments in the
grand stand structure and there will be ample
room under the stands for spectators in case
of rain. The New York Central, it is under
stood, will make a strong bid for the
HANDLING OF THE CROWDS.
It is said a yard or terminal similar to the
one at the Belmont Park race track will be
constructed at the rear of the big arena, so
that , special trains to and from the Grand
Central depot can handle thousands of per
sons with little delay. The railroad officials
ay they will make the trip from Forty-second
street to the new park in about 18 minutes,
and it is reported that a five-cent fare will
be charged. The subway will land passengers
at the gates. The subway tracks there are
elevated and trains will load and unload in
the open air. President Farrell has been ne
gotiating for this property for more than
two years, but it was not until six weeks
In that time Billy umpired six double-head
ers, working alone each afternoon. Last Mon
day he officiated at two games in Chicago.
Tuesday he did the same thing in St. Louis.
On Wednesday it rained in St. Louis, but on
Thursday, Friday and Saturtay he umpired
a double-header between the White Sox and
Browns each day. Sunday he was again in
St. Louis and officiated at the double-header
between the Naps and Browns. That made it
an even dozen contests in seven days.

Arrangements for the Giants-Highlander
Series Being Pushed.
Special to "Sporting Life."
JOHN FLYNN,
First Baseman of the Pittsburg National League Club.
John Flynn, the young first baseman of the Pittsburg Club, of the National League, has
had a short, but brilliant, base ball career. Flynn hails from Providence, R. I., and iss 27
years old. He played as catcher and captain four years with the Classical High School team,
in the Providence Inter- Scholastic League. He went to Holy Cross in 1902, and when the
call for candidates came he went 6ut for catcher. It was soon found that h©e was more
valuable to the team as a first baseman, and there he has played with the exception of the
season of 1903, when he caught behind the bat. When his college term ended in June, l&Oti,
for him, only to losa him in the draw. Subsequently the Pittsburg Club purchased him from
the St. Paul Club for©14,000. In the Spring of 1910 there was a contest for the Pittsburg
first base regular job between Flynn and Sharpe, and Flynn won the position by reason of
superior baiting ability.
ago th|t he got title to it. The architects
who drew plans for
THE BIG STADIUM
inspected the new parks in Pittsburg, Phila
delphia, Cleveland, Chicago and other cities
before starting. They say Kingsbridge Park,
which may be the name of the plant, will be
an improvement over all of these great ball
parks combined. It will not fee surprising
if the Giants, in the course of time, are com
pelled to leave the Polo Grounds, in which
event they might play their games at Kingsbridge Park.
Umpire Evans© New Record.
Detroit, Mich., September 13. Billy Evans,
as an umpire, has set a world record for the
amount of work accomplished in ieven daye.
New York City, September 19. Arrange
ments for the post-season series between the
rival New York teams are being made quietly
by the club officials, with no flourish of trum
pets. The Giants already have doubled up
two games with the Bostons that were to have
been played the middle of October, which will
make it possible to begin the first game be
tween the teams of McGraw and Stallings on
October 13. But there may be an earlier
start, as the wires are being pulled to have
the last Philadelphia game at the Polo
Grounds played on October 10 instead of Oc
tober 12. That means October 11 as the first
possible date, but before that can be fixed
upon the consent of the Brooklyn Club must
be obtained. The Bostons are scheduled to
play at Washington Park on October 10 and
12,"but those games may be doubled up. As
soon as a set of dates can be arranged Mr.
Brush will announce, them. That is the cor
rect line on the situation at present.
A CATCHER©S FEAT,
A Boston Boy Catches Ball Hurled From
Bunker Hill Monument.
Boston, Mass., September 17. Earl A.
Barter, 18 years old, a catcher of the Beverly
Base Ball Club, caught a base ball thrown
from the top of the Bunker Hill Monument
this forenoon, the distance being 204 feet. A
young man with three regulation base balls
climbed the winding stairs while Barton
stood out on the centre of the green close to
the Prescott statue. When the sphere was
hurled from the opening near the top of the
granite shaft the young catcher judged his
distance admirably, but the ball bounded out
of his glove.. On the next trial Barter©s judg
ment was poor. The ball went over his left
shoulder and although it struck the glove
squarely, flew out. The third trial was also
a failure, the ball bounding out of the glove.
By the time the ball tosser had regained the
top of the monument Barter had steadied
down and caught the next three balls without
apparent effort. About five years ago an Eng
lishman posing as a Japanese juggler at o»e
of the Boston theatres caught a large turnip
thrown from the same place on the prongs of
a fork which he held in his mouth.

WORLD©S RECORD
ADDS DIGNITY TO A SEASON OF
, FEW RECORDS.
Two Southern League Teams Put
Up New Figures for Speed in
Playing a Full Nine-Inning
Championship Game*
SPECIAL TO "SPORTING LIFE."
Atlanta, Ga., September 19. Playing the
final game of the "season he-re on Saturday,
September 17, the Mobile and Atlanta teams,
of the Southern League, broke
all records for time, as Mo
bile won a full nine inning
contest by a score of 2 to 1
in the remarkable time of 32
minutes. This remarkable rec
ord was made possible by the
two teams, by mutual agree
ment, going on the field and
coming to bat on the run. In
variably the first ball deliv
ered to each batter was
struck at, and usually, hit,
--...-_ without any effort to place it.
W. M. Kavanaunh Thirty-five assists in the field
tells the story. Nevertheless,
there were some sensational stops and throws
as well as some clever catches by the outfielders. Only one base on balls was recorded
and only one strike-out. There were four sto
len bases, one sacrifice hit and one wild pitch,
three two-baggers, one three-bagger, one triple
and one double play. Curiously enough, the
record that was broken Saturday was made
in this city six years ago. On September 24,
1904, the Atlanta and Shreveport teams
played a full nine-inning game in 44 min
utes. This is faster time than ever was made,
in . a major league championship game, al
though in the big leagues many games have
been finished in less than an hourv The best
record previous to 1904 was 47 minutes,
made by the Dayton and Ironton teams in
Dayton on September 19, 1884, and the Oak
land and San Francisco teams in San Francis
co on November 9, 1893. In Los Angeles on
July 30, 1905, the Los Angeles and Oakland
teams played a double-header in record time.
The first game required© only 47% * minutes
and the secondetvas finished in 51 minutes.
RED EPIDEMIC.
Bugitis Prevalent Among Fans of Porkopolis Griffith©s Goats Have Upset Cin
cinnati by Their In-and-Out Work The
Missouri Swashes
A Bit of WarmBlooded Stuff.
By Bern Mulford, Jr.
Cincinnati,
O.,
September
17. Editor
"Sporting Life:" Bugitis is epidemic in
Bedland. There©s a reason. Nobody in all
Balldoin ever saw a team that
was a match for the Redbirds.
They are some whipporwills.
Just when the fans in wild,
impotent rage would consign
them to everlasting member
ship in the Hades League,
they would bob up smiling
and kick the lining out of a
few people. There weren©t
enough people out to say "au
revour" to the gang to make
a decent mob at a wake in
Mike Mullen©s ward. The day
Ken Mulford, Jr. before the parting, Bill Burns
and Jack Rowan made piti
ful exhibitions of themselves. Starting with
a lead of 5 to 1 the Reds fell before the 3t.
Louis Cardinals like snow men under the rays
of a February sun. Lack of control was re
sponsible for turning a seeming Red winning
into a rout. The ratio of defeat was 2 to 1.
Those half-holiday Bugs left League Park
so all-fired mad that if they had bit anybody
during the ensuing twenty-four hours Dr.
Pasteur himself couldn©t have© prevented a
tidal wave of hydrophobia. And next day
things were worse. The Cards from Missouri
made the Reds look like plugged counterfeit
nckels stacked up in the dark. Nobody about
town seemed to care a hang where they were
going. They felt sure the East was their
destination and knew they were on their way.
A REVERSAL OF FORM.
When the news came from Pittsburg that the
Reds had come to life and *ith Fred Beebe
at the firing line had belted the wadding out
of the World©s Champs even the 33ds were
going around with dazed mugs. They couldn©t
quite comprehend it. On the heels of that
shut out of the Pirates came the news of
another good job at Brooklyn. These tales of
the ticker seemed incredulous. Cincinnati has
the champion In and Outers. They©ve played
more alternative brilliant and rotten ball
than any squad ever organized. Clark Griffith
is going out to Montana this Fall to try and
forget the past. It©s a wonder that he has
escaped. Longview. To forecast a brilliant fin
ish because of this cheerful inaugural of the j
last swing around the Eastern circuit would
be to invite Fate to take oneself out on the
back stoop as the prelude to a gentle kick
down the back stairs of unfilled prophecy.
Cincinnati has made np its fair mind that the
Reds lack a good many things which a pen
nant-winning bunch must have. One of these
requisites is gray matter. They are the dizzi
est crowd of hunters that ever drew salary as
aspirants for championship honors. Before
they get a good staxt along the road to Get
there they©ll have to be drilled in the gentle
art of laying ©em down. All sweet sym
phonies about next year sound tuneful, but
the guy who leads the Red Orchestra must
stick in a, few yards of notes on mixing ©em
THE JOY OF THE RAJAH.
Roger Bresnahan©s cup of joy has not been
overflowing since he became a Missourian. He
hasn©t gone dippy bathing in the oil of joy.
His opportunities for managerial jollification
have not been numerous enough to make life
to him one beautiful dream after another.
But "The Rajah" forgot all about the night
mares during the last brief stay of the Cards
here. You couldn©t haved ragged the old boy
off the lines with a writ of habeas corpus.
He was out there with bells on. When Bill
Burns walked out after he had ! taken his
wallops and Jack Rowan walked in the early
miseries of the big fellow called from "Bres"
the cheerful chirp: "He can©t get ©em over!
Clark Griffith is back of the grand stand
warming up!" But "The Old Fox" was
gnashing his teeth somewhere out of sight, for
he was under the ban. The manager who
spends much of his time barred from assodating with his charges is getting all the
worst of it. It would be a novelty if
Cincinnati could get along with a manager
who managed to keep himself on the job all
season I
"THE RABBIT" IN CLOVER.
Speaking of the Virginia goober crop, may
be it wasn©t nuts for Miller Huggins- those
last two daubs on the Red escutcheon. © ©The
Rabbit" was in the thick of both victories,
and he helped pound in the runs that proved
the dual undoing of his old team. In the two
games Huggins bagged six hits good for seven
bases and his smashes netted him an average
of .600. The joy of the Cardinals was shared
by "Mike" Mowery and Eddy Phelps. What
delight all discards have in throwing . the
spiked boots into the teams that counted ©em
out. Nobody blames ©em. Such a spirit is
iiatural. Cincinnati has certanly given St.
Louis some good ones, and "The Rabbit"
looms up like the star of the Missouri aggre
gation. And when it comes to slamming the
ball looks sort of odd to find Huggins with
a fatter hitting credit than Bob Bescher, and
only one point behind Mike Mitchelll On
present figures it looks as if Huggins will
skin Dick Egan on the batting count this
season. Giving the Cards "The Rabbit" was
certainly handing them a prize package.
MULFORDISMS.
Once more "Red" White blew I
Myron Townsend suggests a new column
for the tabulated score a reward for players
which the elect call "boneheads."
Next year "The Old Fox" will cut out all
kicks, That sounds good in the Fall.
Charles G. Strobel, who used to own -the
Mud Hens at Toledo, is now flying high. He
is the promoter of flying in charge of the Dir
igible Route at the Ohio Valley Exposition.
Charley doesn©t make any flights himself. He
just owns the airships and lets the other fel
lows do the flying.
Maybe Benton can compel ©em to drop
"Reub" next year. He looks better each time
out.
Col. George Schottle is coaching a new
pitcher at his home. The youngster is of reg
ulation size and isn©t of the incubator variety
now prevalent on Mother Goose Island.
Hans Lobert poked- out an odd home run
the other day a grounder that "sneaked"
under the steps in distant centre and refused
to roll out. Neither Abbott nor Ellis had a
retriever, so they had to watch "The Dutch
man" dig around with the candy.
Hope all the lovely things they are saying
about Dick Breen are true, but it is hard to
forget that Big Jim Wiggs was once lifted to
the top of Mt. Expectation. Then he fell off!
Counting unhatched chickens has always
been an unprofitable business in Redland.
Fred Beebe has a chance to beat Bill Burns
out with a better average of wins than the
southpaw who started so well.
The Reds played hob wearing the "hobble
skirt." Hoblitzel on second and Mike Mitchel at first. Fine layout with Arthur Phelan on
the bench!
The Reds find it as hard to hold on to that
.500 mark as Dr. Cook does to discover his
proofs of the North Pole.
Because Connie Mack has qualified 23
players some of the punsters are already call
ing the Athletics the "Skiddoos."
Thank goodness the A. A. records prove
that Davy Altizer-knows how to sacrifice!

COBB©S EYE.
His Ailment Found to Be Caused by a Bit
of Gravel.
Special to "Sporting Life.©©
Detroit, Mich., September 19. There is a
mystery now regarding Ty Cobb©s eyes, which
have kept him out of the game for a fort
night. An oculist took a bit of gravel out of
the ailing optic to-day and Ty says he can see
as well as e^er and will be in the game in a
couple of days. The mystery is how the first
oculist, with his elaborate magnifying and ex
amining instruments, happened to miss that
rock pile in Ty©s eye." In connection with
stories that come so straight as to admit of
little doubt that Ty has been playing for his
release so he can take up. an offer of $15,000
per year from either the New York or Boston
Clubs the length of time the said boulder has
been in Ty©e eye is open to argument. Many
close observers of events are so mean as to
say that it might have gotten there: oppor-

Charley Comiskey©s Luck.
Chief Comiskey, of the White Sox, says
that draft and graft mean one and the same
thing as far as he is concerned, the lottery
man handing the "Old Roman" a gem for
$1,200 that the South Side boss would have
paid $5,000 for two weeks ago. This Kohinoor is hibeled Bodie, and hails from© Saa
Francisco, and has been doing the "grizzly
bear" in the orange-scented ball yard, to the
extreme delight of the Coast fans. Nine clubs
were after the much-touted youngster, but the
"Old Roman" held the lucky number.

MINOR DRAFTS
BIG INITIAL HAUL BY TEE
CLASS A LEAGUES.
About $50,000 Worth of Young
Players Secured By the Five
Superior Leagues From the Var
ious Leagues of Lesser Rank*
Auburn, N. Y., September 16. The Class
©A leagues of the National Association have,
drafted about $50,000 worth of talent from
the smaller leagues, according
to Secretary John H. Farrell,

who made public to-night a
list of the players who have
been selected by the teams in
the Eastern, Western, South

Kenworthy, selected by three clubs, was not
liable to draft in Class A, as he was taken by
the Boston Americans. Wells, of South Bend,
was contested by Jersey City and Toledo, the
former winning out. Secretary Farrell said
that during the drafting season just closed he
received more than $200,000 in fees. Follow

to cut at least a day or two off that attenu

earthquake, national catastrophe or some oth
er thing like those can keep the Cubs out of
their fourth pennant in five years. To-day
they are 13 full games ahead of the Pirates.
Pittsburg is having a hard struggle for the
place with New York, and Clarke©s men may
find themselves in third place at the end of
the season. Detroit and Pittsburg may be
able to play off for the championship of sec
ond or third place., but there is nothing do
ing in the World©s Championship line for
either of them this year. During the past
w&ek the Cubs broke even with Pittsburg in
a two-game series and won three out of four
from Philadelphia in the opening series of
their last Eastern invasion. The Cubs© next
appearance in Philadelphia will be at the
American League. Park, and there will be a
lot more doing than in the present series.
THE PITTSBURG SERIES.
The coming ex-champions of the© world (we
might call them the Jim Jeffries of base ball)
won from the coming champions of the world
by the score of 5 to 4 last Saturday. It
looked like a Cub victory, but Pittsburg
scored twice in the ninth and nosed out a
victory by a narrow margin. King Cole led
the Cubs out of the wilderness of defeat on
Sunday with a 5-to-2 victory which was large
ly due to his brilliant pitching. You will re
member I told you a few things about this
slim twirler when tbe season opened. He is
going better than ever right now, and that
is going some. President Murphy said 33,120
persons saw this game, and maybe they did.
The principal feature of the game was the
harsh manner in which young Cole treated
old Wagner. Hans struck out twice without
even making a foul with men on bases, and
on another similar occasion he lifted an easy
fly to Sheckard. Did you ever hear a crowd
yell when Wagner struck out? If you did,
double that, and then double thei product,
and you will arrive at a faint conception of
the noise those Cub fans made last Sunday.
It seemed like a shame to cheer the© downfall
of a poor old man like Hans, but it was ever
thus.
THE CUBS IN PHILADELPHIA.
The Cubs had an off day on Monday and
stuck around town, leaving Monday night for
Philadelphia. On Wednesday they broke even
in a double-header by losing the first, 0 to 5,
and winning the second, 5 to 2. In tbe first
Reulbach blew up in the sixth inning and
allowed five runs to filter across the, plate.
The next battle was a joyous occasion for
the Cubs not so much because they won, but
because Orval Overall went through the whole
game without showing a.ny distress signals.
That was his first good showing in many
moons, and it certainly looked good to have
him back and doing his share. Chance is con
fident Overall will bo in great shape for the
World©s Series. Orval was a big factor in
the Cubs© victories over Detroit in 1907 and
1908. The Cubs came from behind and won
Thursday©s game, 7 to 5, and after the Phillies had a 5-to-O lead. Schulte©s home run
sent the last two runs across in the eighth.
Friday©s game was a 4-to-3 victory for the
Cubs and then they went to Brooklyn.
THE WHITE SOX
have broken even with three won and three
lost in the past week, and that is going some,
Of course, four of those games were with St.
Louis the only team in the league that is
really worse than the Sox. Manager Duffy is
spending most of his time trying out outfielders, and it is likely he is more interested in
watching the new men work out in the gar
dens that he is in winning games. Of course,
victories are sweet, but the less often they
come the sweeter they are. It looks to me
as if the present Sox infield will be kept
intact for the next season, but one never can
tell. The combination of Tannehill, first base;
McConnell, second base; Zeider, shortstop,
and Lord, third base, looks pretty good to me.
Blackburne may get back as a regular at
shortstop, but he will probably be> kept to
fill in the gaps. If Blackburne is put back at
the beginning of next season Zeider will go to
second and McConnell to the bench. Collins
may get a steady job at first base, but Tanne
hill appears to have first call now, and he
will make a rattling good first base-man with
the requisite experience.
SERIES WITH THE BROWNS.
To, return to this season and seventh place
the Sox broke even with the Browns on
last Saturday at St. Louis. The scores were:
Chicago 7. St. Louis 6 and St. Louis 7, Chi
cago 2. That©s enough for that. On Sunday
the Sox returned to their home city and en
gaged in one battle with the fallen champs
from Detroit. The score was 2 to 0 because
the Sox couldn©t hit Mullen. About 20,000
persons saw the conflict pretty good for a
team in seventh place playing in opposition
to the league leaders on the other side of the
city. St. Louis hurried right, back here on
Monday, because the Sox are about the eas
iest things© they could meet without playing
with themselves, and that is not allowed un
der the present schedule. It rained on Mon
day, but on Tuesday O©Connor©s children put
one over on Ed Walsh by 1 to 0. They got
three joke hits and 13 Browns struck out, but
they managed to squeeze over the necessary
tally. Red Nelson, an Akron, O., recruit, held
the* Sox runless. The Sox beat the Browns
10 to 2 on Wednesday. The- Boston Speed
Boys showed up here on Thursday and were
beaten, 4 to 2, by Doc White. Friday was
an off day.
RIGHT OVER THE PLATE.
On Sunday the Sox outfield was Meloan,
right field; Zwilling, center field, and Chouinard, left field. Some polyglot conglomera
tion, believe me.
Felix Chouinard hails from Green Bay and
looks good. He has a great whip and meets

Finally, let the player remember that in
spite of disaster following previous Brother
hood movements, and without the aid or ex
istence of a player organization within a dec
ade, the National game has attained its high
est development in point of play, business,
legislation and administration; that it has
achieved an unexampled prosperity which is
universally shared by the players; and that it

What more could an organization do or secure
for him?
We have no quarrel with organization, and
recognize frankly that labor must have, in
sheer protection, the same right of organiza
tion as the corporation. But in base ball
there is never any labor question. To the
public it is a sport, to the magnate sport and
business in combination, to the player mere
lucrative temporary employment to be used as
a stepping stone to modest fortune, or nu
cleus for future permanent business or emplgymenl. No player can make a life occupa
tion of base ball owing to inexorable physical
demands and limitations. Therefore organiza
tion on labor union lines for him is impossi
ble; on other lines it is bound to be unstable,
precarious, transient; is absolutely certain to
be based on policy instead of principle, on op
portunities instead of fundamentals; and is
therefore bound to be used, sooner or later,
by tricksters and schemers for selfish or un

GEORGE AND CRA!G.
Meantime players, when approached on the
Eubject of a Brotherhood, should consider well
the motives and environment, of the proposers,
the purport and scope of the proposed organ
ization, and then reflect upon these facts:
There have been two major league players©
brotherhoods organized within a quarter of a
century, and both were short-lived; that the
existence of each was fraught with turmoil
and trouble; that the end of each was due to
treason or inanition; that the existence .of
both brought only trouble to the game with
out benefit to the player; and that in the case
of one Brotherhood the National game was
nearly wrecked, and in the other case the
dual-league principle would have been sacri
ficed, at great cost to the players in the
mass, had not the organization paid with its
life for the attempted treachery of its leaders.
Then why experiment once more in the light
of disastrous history ?
Having considered the damaging effect and
banal purpose of two attempts at player-or
ganizing, let the players remember that in
base ball, more than any other profession, in
dividual effort alone counts, inasmuch as no
magnate or manager, no player organization,
no newspaper even, can make or mar a play
er, transform a mediocre player into a star, or
keep down a good man; in short, that no

rules. Under present conditions the dualmajor league system, with its splendid admin
istrative machinery, appears ample to meet the
public demand for base ball which demand
seems fair for a time to decrease rather than
increase owing to unsettled business and so
cial conditions and to conserve wisely and
well the investment of the capitalist and the
rights and privileges of the exponents. If
there was ever a time in base ball when the
mutuality of interest of employer and em
ploye, and the relations of the sport to press
and public, were fully recognized by those in
control of the sport, this is the time. This
is the golden age of professional base ball,
and it behooves all interested in the game,
whether as magnate, manager, player, or
scribe, to recognize this great fact and to do
each his individual part to the best of his
ability to keep the National game on its pres
ent high plane the highest any professional
sport has attained, in any land since the days
of the Olympian games of the ancient Greeks!
COAKLEY©S INELIGIBILITY.
N the last issue of "Sporting Life" was
given a news dispatch to the effect that
pitcher Andrew ©Coakley, the stormy pe
trel of the game, had been declared ineligible
by the National Commission. From the Na
tional Commission finding in the case it is
learned that some time ago the attention of
the Commission was called to the fact that
the New York National team had played an
exhibition game with the independent Paterson (N. J.) team, of which Coakley was a
member. It was thought at the time that
Coakley was an ineligible player, but when
the New York Club was called upon for an
explanation it was found that Coakley was
not an ineligible. Later, the Commission was
informed that Coakley was a suspended play
er of the National Association. Following
this the New York American Club also played
an exhibition game with the Paterson team
and, when called upon for an explanation,
stated that the club had no knowledge of
Coakley©s ineligibility and therefore should
not be fined.
The National Commission thereupon investi
gated player Coakley©s record, and found that
this player had brought a law suit against a
National Agreement club (Chicago Nationals)
and had twice within the past year been
placed on the suspended list of the National
Association. For the latter reason the Na
tional Commission has now given notice to
all major league clubs forbidding any games
with the Paterson team, or any other inde
pendent team with which Coakley may be con
nected during the remainder of the season.
Recently the National Association prevented
the player from playing with the Elmira
Club, of the New York State League, which
action was nullified by the National Commis
sion upon appeal by the player. This ruling
is now rescinded by the National Commission,
and the entire matter is referred to the Na
tional Association, because it refers at this
time to a controversy between a minor league
player, several minor league clubs and the
National Association. The National Commis
sion is now through with Coakley and the
latter is thrust upon the tender mercy of a
body which permits no trifling or defiance by
any player, however great or humble.

THE ATHLETICS© LUCK STICKS
IN A WRECK,
Trolley Car Collides With Vehicle
Conveying the Athletic Team to
the Detroit Park, But Only One
Player Slightly Hurt*
SPECIAL TO "SPORTING LIFE."
Detroit, Mich., September 19. Several of
the ©Athletics© players had a narrow escape
from injury Saturday afternoon while on their
way to Bennett Park to meet
Detroit in the third game of
the series. The Athletic play
ers were in the second ©bus,
when it was hit by a big interurban car. Players in the
©bus party were Baker, Davis,
Morgan,
Livingston,
Mclnnes, Hansel and Train
er Murphy.
But for prompt
action on the part of the motorman, serious injuries would
have .resulted. He put on his
reverse,
while
the
driver
checked his horses. The car
Connie Mack
glanced off the front of the
©bus, smashing part of/it and scaring the
players into loss of 10 years© exisience.
Morgan leaped to the street in his cleated
shoes, and slightly strained his ankle, while
the others got out the door and windows
without injury.
The tongue of the wagon
was smashed and the ©bus slightly damaged.
A new conveyance was secured, and the par
ty proceeded to the grounds. The team left
last night at 10.30 o©clock on the steamship
City of Detroit for Cleveland, where they
were due to arrive at 6 A. M. Monday. Man
ager Mack said yesterday afternoon that the
Athletics probably would, train next spring
at Southern Pines, N. C., the old Phillies©
grounds. A few of the ©©vets© 1 will spend 10
days at Hot Springs, Ark.

Philadelphia, Pa., September 19. Playing
abroad or at home is all one to the Athletics,
( ; ©:
" : © ©iis of the American League.
During the past week they
i)ut a damper on the, Wash
ington hopes of fifth place;
und then proceeded to the lair
of the Tiger, from whom they
took three games out of four,
thus winning the season se
ries and simultaneously dim
ming Detroit©s place pros
pects. At this writing the
Athletics have but 19 games
more to play and only three
more games to win to make
the pennant absolutely cer
tain. When these games are
won which should be this
week Manager Mack can begin to groom his
team for the coming World©s Series and at
the same time give further test to the few
youngsters he new has under his wing. Mean
time the Phillies have had a week of hard
luck, which has dispelled all hopes of better
than fourth place and has even imperilled the
latter position all owing to a miserable
break in the Chicago series, which gave the
coming National League champions three
games out of four instead of at least an even
break for the luckless Phillies. If ever two
local rival clubs illustrated the extremes of
fortune, the Athletics and Phillies have done
so this season.
Hard Luck For the Philliea.
The Phillies started the week well by beat
ing the Superbas in Brooklyn last Monday
3-0 with the aid of Moore©s effective pitching
the game being advanced from October 15.
The Phillies kept up the good work by win
ning the first game of the Chicago series,
5-0, on Ewing©s effective pitching and a sixthinning batting rally on Reulbach, in which
they scored all the runs of the game on a
base on balls and five hits. That ended the
Phillies© winning, however, as© they lost the
next three games. The second game of Wed
nesday went to Chicago, 5-2, on a four-run
rally on Moren in the fifth inning, in which a
triple by Archer cleared the bases. On Thurs
day Chicago won, 7-5, on pure luck. Stack
had the Cubs beaten, 5-2, up to the sixth in
ning when he sprained his ankle in over-run
ning second base and had to retire. Moore,
who relieved Stack, lacked his usual effective
ness against the Cubs, and in two innings he
-was pounded for five runs and the game,
jloore started in the fourth, and last, game
of the series Friday and was knocked out for
four runs in the first inning. Brennan re
lieved Moore and held the Cubs runless in
the remaining eight innings, and there is lit
tle doubt that had he started the game in
stead of Moore, or had he been substituted
instead of Moore on Thursday the Phillies
would have made at least an even break in a
series in which they outplayed the Cubs in
all departments. Managerial judgment was
not at fault, however, as Moore has hereto
fore been the most effective member of Doojn©s pitching staff against Chicago; so the un
toward result must be attributed to pure bad
luck. Misfortune still pursued the Phillies on
(Saturday in the opening game of the series
SPORTING LIFE
with Cincinnati which will doubtless settle
the fourth-place question as between these
two teams. Both teams played poor ball, but
the Phillies© errors were most costly, and this,
combined with altogether unusual unsteadi
ness of pitcher Ewing, gave the Reds an easy
8-3 victory. At this writing three games re
main to be played with Cincinnati; Thursday,
Friday and Saturday Pittsburg plays, here;
and on Monday next the St. Louis Cardinals
make their adieu to Philadelphia in a fourgame series, which will also end the season at
Philadelphia Park.
Thereafter tint seven
games remain to be played two in Brooklyn,
three in Boston and two in New York.
Athletics Clinching the Pennant.
The Athletics brought their brief Home
stand to a close with the Washington games
of last Monday and Tuesday, both of which
were won by the same score each day, 6-0. In
Monday©s game Coombs was simply invinci
ble and the Senators never had a chance to
score. Dygert came to life on Tuesday and
pitched an almost perfect four-hit game a
pleasing thing in view of the fact that the
Athletics may have need for an effective
©©spitter" in the coming World©s Series. The
Athletics thus made a sweep of the Washing
ton series, and put an awful dent in the fifthplace prospects of the team which last year,
in the final stages of the race, made an of
fensive display of its partiality to Detroit.
The Athletics opened their Western tour with
the only team which had a chance to win a
season series from the Athletics, and which
also had second place aspirations as consola
tion for loss of the pennant. Here again th<
Athletics squared old accounts, same as with
Washington, by defeating the Tigers in their
lair three games out of four in decisive fash
ion and without a sign of fluke. On the first
day Plank handed them a 7-1 defeat, which
would have been a shut-otit but for a wild
throw by Liwnjrstone. On Friday the invin
cible Coombs shut the champions out with
two hits, while his team-mates piled up 14
hits and 10 runs on Willett and Stroud. On
Saturday the Detroits won their only game of
the series simply because Manager Mack
deemed it wise to give Krai>se another tryout. The youngster was hit hard_ and beaten,
10-3, and after the game complained of a re
turn of his lameness which eliminates him
as a pitching probability in the World©s Se
ries. As consolation for the relevation of
Krause©s condition Jimmy Dygert gave an
other demonstration of his return to form by
holding Detroit to four scattered hits and
winning his game, 4-1 his second impressive
victory of the week. The Athletics thus left
Detroit with the satisfaction of having won
the season series from their detractors and.
at the same time, having seriously d_amaged
their chances of finishing second. This week
the Athletics play seven games in Cleveland
and Chicago and next week they end the
Western trip at St. Louis. On the 30th they
will reappear at home for seven games with
Boston and New York and then they close
their grand season with a double-header* at
Washington on October 8.
Local Jottings.
Jimmy Dygert seems to have come hack to form.
He has done good work in his last two times out.
Says the Detroit "Journal:" "Eddie Collins is
50 per cent, of the Athletics© infield. He covers as
much ground as President Taft."
Pitchers Humphries and McBride, two men who
were farmed out by the Phillies, will not be ordered
to report until next Spring, as Manager Dooin knows
.what they can do.
William ("Kid") Smith, a well-known local catcher,
formerly a "Park Sparrow," and latterly a player in
the Carolina Association, died at the German Hospital
last week of malaria.
The Philadelphia management was anxious to give
pitrlier Wilhelm. drafted from the Canton Club, a
trial, but the pitcher has disappeared, leaving no
trace of his present whereabouts.
Up to last Saturday pitcher Alexander, of Syra
cuse, a Pliilly recruit, had pitched 45 consecutive in
nings without being scored on and allowed onlj, 20
hits an average of only four hits per game.
The Phillies have been awarded still anothP!
pitcher by the National Commission. The newcomer
is Baxter, of the Marion, O.. Club. Manager Dooin
now has 21 pitchers under control for next season.
Jack Coombs won his twenty-eighth victory last
Friday. And he allowed Detroit only two hits, one
of them a bunt. Only 10 runs have been scored on
Coombs in the last 159 innings he has pitched a
wonderful record.
All of the Phillies© new pitchers, excepting Girard.
sre giants, Chalmers being a second edition of Earl
Moore in build, and Alexander, Wilhelm, Humphries,
McBride, Thomas, Crutcher, Gulp and the rest being
six feet and over in height.
It v ls probable that a number of the Athletic players
will go to Cuba next Winter under the management
of Frank Bancroft, of Cincinnati. Manager Mack has
decided not to go, but will give permission to such
of his players as may wish to take in the trip.
The "North American" sarcastically remarks: "If
you would take the word of some Chicago writers, all
the base ball brains in the country are stowed away
in Cub skulls, while the Athletics are so dense that
they can©t tell first base from a slaughter house."
"Bris L*rd is a lucky player. In his first year in
the big show he cut into the World©s Series receipts,
and now has rejoined the Athletics in time for
another bundle of engraved paper. Wonder who is
Bris© booking agent?" "North American," Can it
be Connie Mack?
A mysterious pitcher named "Mitchell," who has
been cleaning up in the Pacific Coast t<eague, has
been widely heralded as the suspended Philly pitcher,
McQuillan. This cannot be as only last week Mana
ger Dooin received a letter from "Big Mae" post
marked "Newark, N. 3."
While here last week Manager Chance, of the
Cubs, said the coming World©s Series would, in his
opinion, - be "one of the closest and hardest-fought
on record, as the Athletics appear to be stronger
than the Detroits were when they faced the Cubs."
No series can ever be closer or harder-fought than
was the Pittsburg-Detrolt series, for the reason tiai it
went to the limit.
Pitcher George Chalmers, of Scranton, believed to
be the pitching find of the 1910 season, and who
cost the Philadelphia Club $4,000, will join the Phillies this week for a try-out. New York State League
critics are unanimously of opinion that "Big George"
will make good, thus filling the shoes of the other
"Big George" the misguided McQuillan.
In commenting upon the coming World©s Series the
other day Manager Dooin, of the Phillies, tersely
said: "I think the Athletics and Cubs are very
evenly matched all around. It looks to me as though
there is not much difference either way when you
size up the pitching, catching, hitting and baserunning abilities of both clubs. At that, give me
two good pitchers and I will back tie Phillies to
beat either MM."

Cubans are anxious to see Tyrus on the

and probably will make the trip with his wife
and baby. The guarantee given the players
this year will be better than the one received
a year ago.
FROM THE CAPITAL*
Washingtons Lose Fifth Place In a Los
ing Streak Good Work of New Players
A Promising Pitching Recruit The
Athletics© Chances.
By Paul W. Eaton.
Washington, D. C., September 17. Editor
"Sporting Life." The Washingtons seem to
have picked up a prize in Cunningham, the
New Bedford second baseman.
He joined the team at Phila
delphia on Monday and was
sent right to the firing line.
To date* he leads the te_am in
batting, with the exception of
pitcher Otey, who has been to
bat only five times and has
made three hits. Cunningham
has a batting average of .385,
has made three sacrifice hits
in his first week, and in yes
terday©s game at Cleveland
worked the Nap twirlers for
Paul W. Eaton three passes. Evidently this
boy has some batting eye and
will make the pitchers show him. Newspaper
reports indicate that his defensive work is as
good as his performance at the plate. This
good record, with the team in its worst los
ing streak of the year, encourages the belief
that
CUNNINGHAM IS A STAR
,
and has come to stay. The statement in this
column last week, in regard to the injustice
to Wade Killifer in unofficial batting aver
ages, is fully confirmed by figures in the
newspaper of which President Noyes is one
of the owners, and which keeps an unusually
careful record of the Washington team©s av
erages. The average it gives Killifer to Sep
tember 10 is .225, and the figures given agree
exactly with the writer©s, barring a slight
typographical error in the paper, caused by
turning a six upside down, this giving him
349 times at bat instead of 346, the correct
number. On Tuesday recruits Cunningham
and Ralston got three of the Washington©s
four hits, and yesterday they got four of the
team©s eight bingoes. Ralston has batted for
.250, though it took him some time to get
started. He has a fine wing and has fielded
well. Dreams of an
UP-TO-DATE BALL PARK
next year have been slightly shattered, as dif
ficulty is being encountered in finding a con
tractor who can get the structural steel de
livered early enough to enable him to guar
antee completion of the buildings in time for
the opening of the season. If this cannot be
done, there will at least be a very great in
crease in seating capacity, so that the turning
away of thousands, and the refusal of many
to make the journey to the park on days
when crowds are expected, will no longer
cause loss to the club. One of Washington©s
conscripts via the draft route, pitches Harvey
Bussey, of the Danville team, champions of
the Virginia League, was in town during the
week. It is only fair to say that
BUSSEY WON THE PENNANT
for Danville, as is evident from the fact that
he won 26 games out of 31 pitched, tied an
other, and was beaten 1-0 in two of his de
feats. Bussey has been on five championship
teams in the course of a comparatively brief
minor league career, and thj,s has become a
habit with him, so the Washington Club and
the first-division managers may as well get
ready for a shock next year. Bussey de
pends on curves, change of pace and control.
He hit and walked fewer batters than any
other twirler in his league, showing that he
has the pitcher©s best asset. The youngster
says he is better than ever, and shows con
fidence, which is another good sign. He also
likes Washington, which will help. Bussey
says there is much talk in the South about
the
LOYAL SUPPORT
That sounds good to the local writers who
have been working to bring about such con
ditions. And it is only a fair and just trib
ute to the Washington base ball public. The
time was, and not so very long ago, when this
was not the case. However, it was not so
much the fans who were to blame as a num
ber of knockers who were writing a poor imi
tation of sporting news and comment for soma
of the local papers. Since the acquisition of
some wise, capable and experienced scribes
by the sheets in question, it has taken a
comparatively short time to convince the less
judicious fans that abuse of home players, no
matter how unfortunate they may be in their
work., is not only unsportsmanlike, but gives
the worst possible results in the matter of
winning © games. There have been few bad
breaks this year, and many instances where
players received encouragement instead. From
Cleveland comes the report that
WASHINGTON MAY GET STOVALL.
It is said-that Manager McAleer will have
first chance at him if he is let out, which is
likely to be the case if Hohnhorst keeps up
his excellent work. George is a swell guar
dian of the first sack, somewhat higher in the
batting averages than Unglaub, though Bob
has been outhitting him for the last month,
or more. Unglaub is the better base-stealer
and Stovall has more sacrifices and rupis,
though the last item is probably due to his
batting just ahead of the Nap sluggers, while
Unglaub is followed by the battery players,
he being a good man OB the bases, as well as
Stovall. Batting of Washington players, to
include Saturday, September 17, is as "-©fol
lows:
WASHINGTON BATTERS.
Team, .234; Otey, .600; Cunningham, .585;
Lelivelt, .275; Milan, .274; Gassier and
Schaefer, .258; Ralston, .250; Gray, .247; Elberfeld and Conroy, .246; Unglaub, .233;
Reisling, .232; McBride, .228; Killifer, .225;
Street, .197; Ainsmith, .191; Johnson, .177;
Beekendorf, since joining the Washingtons,
.150; Henry, .141; Groom. .129; Walker,
.113; Moyer, .000. The sad story of the
Washingtons© present trip has been deferred
as long as possible, but, to tell the worst and
have it over with, they have lost eight
straight game, including three straight shut
outs. Naturally, they have been evicted from
fifth place, and the Clevelands are in that po
sition, with a lead of two and a half games.
On Monday the Athletics, with Coombs pitch
ing, beat them 6-0; and on Tuesday Dygert
defeated them by the same score. They were
not in it at all, the pitchers of the coming:
champions being practically unhittable. There
was a pleasing side to this, however, in its
bearing on the
ATHLETICS© WORLD SERIES CHANCES.
In their last series here three of Connie
Mack©s pitchers had off days. As the Wasnington team was then just commencing its
present let-down, which began with the open
ing of that series, it didn©t cause them to
lose any games, for Johnson would have won
from them in any event. It worried those who
want the Athletics to be World©s Champions;
but evidently it was all over when the series
here was completed. Just now the Mack
pitchers seem to be in excellent shape, bet
ter, in fact, than Chance©s, with the excep
tion of Cole, who will probably work in two
or three of the games and do splendid work.
Those who predict a jug-haa«lled series be
cause of alleged weakness of the Athletics be
hind the bat are entitled to another guess.
IRA THOMAS A STAR.
The majority of experts pick Kling as the
best catcher now in the game and Archer as
a worthy side partner. Without raising any
argument on that point, it can be said that,
even if all that Kling©s ardent admirers
claim is admitted, there is no such vast dif
ference between the two catching corps as
some critics who ought to know better are
declaring. Ira Thomas is one of the best
catfching, throwing and hitting backstops in
the game, and is familiar with its fine points.
He has been a star for some years now, but
for some reason has rarely received as much
credit as so classy a player usually gets.
Thomas© work here a few weeks ago was as
good as any seen on the local grounds this
year. Livingston is much better than the av
erage backstop, and so is Lapp, for a novice.
A GOOD, STIFF BATTLE
for the high honors is likely, with the infields
about even, a shade in Chicago©s favor behind
the bat, and more than a shaide in the outfield,
and the pitchers, after all arid as usual, prob
ably the decisive factor. If odds are given on
the Cubs, as is likely, thejre is no reason
why they should be large. Just at this mo
ment the Philadelphia twirlesrs look the fitter
for the fray. To finish the. sad story inter

WISE SUGGESTIONS*
Would Have Indiscriminate Use of
Pitchers Forbidden, and Make
Rotation of Pitchers in World©s
Series Compulsory*
BY JOSEPH S. SMITH.
Detroit, Mich., September 19. President
Bill Armour, of the Toledo Club, who man
aged the Tigers at one time, makes a novel
suggestion. "Pass a rule that
makes it impossible for a
manager to take a pitcher out
unless through injury," says
Armour. ©©It would, I believe,
be a step in the right direc
tion and, while there wouid
be more one-sided games, still
the hitting would be there.
Base ball fans like hitting.
Another reason why such a
rule would prove a good thing
is that the young * pitchers
would be given a chance to
W. R. Armour really show what they can do.
Nowadays, as soon as a club
commences to hit a young pitcher, he is imme
diately yanked off the mound. That should not
"be. He should be kept in and encouraged."
Armour advances a suggestion for World©s Se
ries games. Instead of overworking one pitch
er in the series because he is effective, Ar
mour believes that it should be stipulated
that four of the club©s best pitchers be given
turns. Armour, who was in Detroit just be
fore starting on a scouting trip for players,
is enthusiastic over Grover Land, the Cleve
land catcher. "Land is one of the best young
catchers I ever looked at, and he©ll certainly
make good with Cleveland," declared Ar
mour. Armour has been unusually successful
in developing, young players. On this account
his judgment is respected by big league man
agers. It was Armour who informed the De
troit ball club that Bush and Summers would
purely make good in the American League.
"This scouting proposition is a big thing,"
eaid Armour. "Several years ago I was of
fered a big salary by a National League club
to go out and dig up players. The salary
offered was bigger than the sum paid me b^
Detroit to manage the team. The scouts have
come to stay. They are needed by the big
league clubs."

the Failures of the Season Why Quack
Remedies to "Increase Base Ball Inter

Time-Tried Way of Running a League
the Only Safe and Sane Method Now
and Hereafter.
By John B. Foster.
Brooklyn, N. Y., September 19. Editor
"Sporting Life." While the president of the
Brooklyn Club conceded that it was as well
not to push the dates of the
schedule to the limit, when
he moved up his last game of
the year to an earlier date, it
is just possible that he is not
thoroughly convinced that the
168-game schedule is an ab
surdity. There may be an ef
fort to force it on the Na
tional League again, although
the lesson of this season pos
sibly has taught something.
Cupidity in sport eventually
will lead to downfall. There
are two National League club
John B. FosUr
owners, perhaps three, who
are too prone to forget the sporting end of
the National game to the advantage to be de
rived through the turnstile. Talk base ball
with them, and within five minutes they will
be deploring the lack of interest in a race
which is one-sided, and will not discuss the
root of the lack of interest, which is inability
to put together a good ball team. The reason
for
THE LONGER SCHEDULE
was this: The success of the National League
in 1908, when Pittsburg, New York and Chi
cago were racing down to the very last min
ute- of the season to decide the champion
ship. A contest of that kind, of course, made
every game valuable to every club, whether
it happened to be in the second division or
the first. Because of that successful year
and such years are not likely to happen more
than once in a decade two owners wept bit
ter tears to think that there were not two
more we_eks to play. The more they discussed
the subject with one another the more they
came to the conclusion that it would be ad
visable to lengthen the National League sea
son. In their short-sightedness they did not
stop to consider that the National League
might not have another such race until 1918.
PRESIDENT EBBETTS
was not one of those owners, but he was
drawn into the matter by the plausible argu
ments which were advanced to him for a
longer season, and turned a willing ear be
cause he had an idea that eventually October
12 a holiday in New York, Columbus Day
would become a valuable holiday to base ball.
The holiday feature I can©t understand. I
don©t believe that no matter how much pop
ularity this holiday may enjoy, it will ever
Toe possible to reckon upon it as a great fac
tor foi success in base ball when it comes
toward the latter part of the season instead
of the first or in the middle. No amount of
preariaagement in base ball ever can make a
championship race any better than the play
ers who are in it. This should be under
stood by owners at the outset and no argu
ments or preparations for a base ball season
can induce spectators to become enthusiastic
after the argument between the clubs is set
tled.
THE SEASON THIS YEAR,
of which so much complaint is now being
made, is no different from seasons in the last
twenty years in which the championship ques
tion was settled early in the race. As. a mat
ter of fact it seems to me that in some re
spects the season is better. Crowds are hold
ing out much longer in some cities than they
ever have before when the championship fight
was as good as over. Various remedies have
been suggested to maintain crowds to the end
of the season. Why should there be any rem
edies? Is base; ball a sport or a show? One
plan has been offered of combining both
leagues toward the close of the season for an
INTERCHANGE OF GAMES.
For what reason, pray 1 Would there be any
championship in such a hybrid arrangement,
which, on its very face, shows that it is not
for sport, but merely to bring spectators
through the gates. Base ball folks are fooling
with fire when they play with such argu
ments. Who would care to see the present St.
Louis Browns and the Boston Nationals play
a series of games after some part of their
own championships had been concluded?
What would be the reason for bringing them
together? If it wouldn©t be a side show to
base ball, what else would it be?
A CASE IN POINT.
Last year the New York National League
Club and the Boston Americans played a postseason series. There seemed to be some logic
in the contests, because ©each club had fin
ished third in its respective league, and a se
ries of games between them might attest the
superiority of third position in some supposi
titious All-American race for the year. The
series was well advertised. The players some
of them were sanguine that it would be a go.
John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, said
in advance that it would be a failure. The
series was plainly stated to be a test for
third place. But what third place? That©s
what the public couldn©t gat through its head.
There seemed to be no reason why there
should be a test for third place.
A FLAT FAILURE.
The series was played. The first game took
place in New York. Players, who expected
that 25,000 spectators would flock through
the gates to see the show, were utterly sur
prised at the smallness of the crowd as com
pared with their expectations. The base ball
enthusiasts took no interest in the proceed
ings after the first game. Those who attended
went for the novelty of the thing. They
wished to see how the teams looked when
they faced one another on the field, and after
they had taken one look they shut their eye,s
to any more of it and stayed away. They
couldn©t comprehend where there was any
thing in base ball which should call for a
test of supremacy in third place. So if club
owners shonild choose to intermingle the
teams of both major leagues for a finish of
some kind or another, I should like to know,
in the name of common sense, what in the
world it would finish and what it would
prove?
ON THE WRONG TACK.
It has been stated that Garry Herrmann,
chairman of the National Commission and
owner of the Cincinnati Club, is in favor of
some such plan. I can©t understand what
Mr. Herrmann thinks would be gained by it.
Does he think that the fans of Cincinnati
are boiling over with interest to see the tailenders of the American League play in Cin
cinnati? It might happen that they would go
to Cincinnati with two pitchers whom the
Reds could not touch, and while the Browns
would be an inferior club, simply through
their strength in the box they would beat
the Cincinnatis in two games to a frazzle.
What would be proved then? Cincinnati, fight
ing hard in its own league all the year for
place, perhaps would be as good as second,
and would be recognized as a powerful and
competent club, yet the tail-enders of the
American League, by reason of superiority in
one position would make the Cincinnatis, a
club of which the city had been proud, look
worse than tail-enders.
THE ONLY SOLUTION.
If it is necessary to have two major leagues
intermingle in games in order to add inter
est to a championship race or to assist in
making a perfect championship race, let©s
have a schedule calling for games between
16 clubs, -start it at the beginning of the
year, play it through like men and quit right
there. What would become of the World©s
Championship if the clubs of both major
leagues, after playing a se.ries of games
among - themselves as individual leagues,
should turn in and play another series con
jointly. How could there be a world©s cham
pionship team under such conditions?
THE BEST WAY.
The. old-fashioned and thoroughly honest
way of conducting races for base ball pen
nants, which has been in vogue ever since
there has been base, ball to demand the at
tention of the sporting public of America, is
the only safe and sane way to play base ball.
Owners who enter their teams take their
chances. If there are owners who are steadily
unsuccessful, doesn©t it occur to them tha©t
the fault may not be with the system, but
with the promoter. Prior to the adoption of
the rule .which provides for the equal division
of gate receipts the owners of clubs in small
er cities complained that they could not com
pete with the owners of clubs in larger cities,
because they did not have sufficient funds in
hand, and were not rewarded liberally enough.
Thpiy were right. That argument is not
WORTH A PUFF OF FLOUR*
now. Every owner is treated alike. The pos
sibilities to do well in a city of 500,000 pop
ulation are quite as good as those in a city
of 2,000,000 population. If the owner in a
smaller city has a good attraction with which
to enter the larger city, hei is certain to be
richly rewarded. Long schedules, interming
ling of games, any other quack remedy, which
may be suggested, will not help base ball.
There is only one assistance! for it that is to
get good players, as many of them as pos
sible, and as rapidly as possible. No possi
ble effort which could be made by a human

was played before a small crowd, the chilly
weather having much to do with it. The
Giants played with great snap and spirit,
however, and showed a most laudable desire
to overhaul the Pirates and capture second
place. Drucke was in the box for New York
and proved a knotty problem for the Pirat_es.
Drucke has certainly been a great acquisi
tion for New York. One or two more recruits
like him would be a big thing, for McGraw.
It is in the pitching department this year
that the Giants have been week, as the writ
er has often pointed out, and as has, of
course, been apparent to all critics of the
game. Notwithstanding the phenomenal qual
ity of ball that the Cubs have put up this
season, with another strong pitcher of
Drucke©s quality, New York could have given
Chicago a mighty close call for the pennant
if not winning it.
DRUCKE PITCHED FINE BALL
in this game, keeping the Pirates down to
six hits and winning out by a score of 3-2.
The Pirates made but one error and, wonder
ful to say, the mighty Hans was the man
who made it. It was a costly error, too, let
ting in a run which proved to be the winning
one. On Thursday another double-header was
played and again large scores figured in both
games, New York "taking tho first and Pitts

long retirement to pitch the second game and
was intermittently good and bad. In the first
and fifth innings "Rube" was handled rough
ly, the Pittsburgs scoring three and two runs,
respectively. Hendricks, a big left-hander
from Texas, a new "find," pitched the last
three iunings, and did fairly well. Matty was
in his old form (and consequently invincible)
in Friday©s game, the Giants winning, 3-1.

tion, sensible men asserted
that the Americans were a
spanking ball team; would not
go down without fighting. But
then if the Nationals had. their
slab staff in shape, victory
was most likely to fall to the
Chicago©s lot. This matter of
A. ti. Cratty
pitching form is a most im
portant one. Nothing can be more erratic.
Superb stalls have collapsed inside of a week,
and down went their teams. Col. Dreyfuss
says that no one can tell whether a slab corps
wi©ll do its duty or collapse. Experience has
taught him that a brefi©.c may come any hour
in a base ball race. Cites slumps of the Chi
cago, Pittsburg and other pitching staffs as
a criterion. Several times this race it looked
as if Pittsburg hurlers were destined to show
brilliant work for the balance >)f the season.
Suddenly there came a fall. You ca.inot tell
in advance about pitchers. Howard Ca.innit/,,
for example, has ever been at his best in
Spring days. Had he upneld his old fame last
Spring, P©ittsburg might have beei .lighting
the Cubs for first notch.
Depends on Twirlers.
Col. Dreyfuss is one Pittsburger who has
eeen both the Cubs and Athletics at their best.
He admits Connie Mack has a fast team, but
is satisfied, that if Chance©s bender merchants
are in shape, the National League nine will
land the series. By the way, the Pirate owner
isn©t going to admit that the Pittsburg pitch
ers failed to deliver the goods the present
season because they were not, in their make
ups. Barney stands by the staff, jisserts that
the men would have been sufficiently skillful
to steer the Pittsburgs to another pennant had
it not been for illness, etc. To give an idea,
three of the team©s best men were recently
laid low by ptomaine poisoning inside of ten
days. On the road the men partook of some
article of food that was detrimental. White

victim to food poisoning, became so weak that
he could hardly run to first base.
Bad Year All Around.
All season misfortune faced the Pittsburg
team. Pirates on reaching St. Louis last
April, were in finer shape than any nine in
the-league; played tag with the Cardinals.
©After three days the weather broke badly; five
days© idleness at Cincy, more at home and
in © Chicago. All the good training at Hot
©Springs was undone. Some Pirates recov
ered sooner than others. The slab band was
the last, to get a-going- right. Several men
never recovered. Maddox was among this
number. It was a sorry season for the Pittsburgs in every way. Broke badly in bunches.
Let me cite one singular instance. Pittsburg
men went to Cincinnati in late August, put
the Reds© pitchers on the rinky dink. Then
Ferry, the Newark server, isn©t a find of
Bil!> Murray©s, as has been imagined. Col.
Dreyfuss insists the Pittsburg Club had an
aptioj. on hinv about a year ago, but did not
exercise ii. Dreyfuss imagines the young man
has it cha.nct of staying in the big show, but
will makfc no predictions. Barney was pleased
witl Perry©s initial game against the St.
Louis men; was heard to assert that it wasn©t
exaculy a fair test. The man suffered from
bad mck, Eddie Phelps making three flukey
hits off li©.m, all handle drives. A couple of
lucky bounders got away from the Pirate in
field. Ferry hails from Pittsfield, Mass. He

Sammy Still There.*
CoL Barney Dreyfuss doesn©t think Samuel
Leever is "all in." "There are many worse
pitchers than Leever," declared Barney. Then
the Pirate magnate told of the veteran©s work
daring the race. Dreyfuss is inclined to the
idea that Leever did not often fail to show
some kind of form. First week in September
Sammy had a big team shut out, but consid
ered it unlucky to apply the whitewash brush.
He handed them a run or two to break the
hoodoo. From Dreyfuss© talk the chances
are that the writer made a poor guess in say
ing Leever would not be with the Pirates
in 1911.

A Fall Tale.
"Reporters printing such stuff should have
their heads examined." Thus spoke Col.
Dreyfuss when his attention was called to a
rumor that the Luna Park, this city, was to
be used© for an invading nine. © ©Look it over,
and you will not wonder at the merit of my
remark. Luna Park is only 360 feet wide.
Folly to talk of putting a grand stand and
playing field in©such space. I©ll admit that the
enclosure is 800 .feet long, but there isn©t a
level spot on the whole park. Despite the fact
that every season a couple of wild yarns
about invasion are exploded, newspaper men
seem to grab the silly tales and print them
without investigation. A base ball plant can
not be started on wind. It takes a vast out
lay of money to establish a park, et al. The
playing field isn©t all that is needed. A team
is essential. Look at the trouble organized
leagues^ with a large amount of capital have
of finding first-class players." Barney ridi
culed any opposition from the excursion agent
who had planned to take a team of stars on
tour after the regular season. He says the
man, finding his snap cut short, desired to
hold his backers for salary. He has been
writing Pirates urging them to stand by the
contracts signed for the tour.
Fans Were Guessing.
With eight outfielders on the Pirates© list
for 1911, fans began to wonder if the man
agement contemplated any change in the bril
liant outer guards. No information on this
score is gettable. It hardly looks plausible
that a shift is intended. However, there may©
be behind the scenes some contingency not
known to patrons that would necessitate a
reorganization of the outfield. One would im
agine that with Campbell and Hyatt in re

has proven his worth as a swatter, is also
getting better as a fielder. Pittsburg players
like to recall an insinuation, made by Cincin
nati players that Campbell couldn©t hit the
ball out of the diamond. Next day the swiftgoing ©Varsity youngster tore off a slashing
triple, just to show Redtown men the error of
their ways. Campbell hits to all _fields. His

Because of Captain Chase©s Alleged Indif

With Manager Stallings
The Latter
Supported by the Entire Team With
the Exception of Chase and Vaughn.
From New York "American."
Chicago, 111., September 10. Nothing but a
miracle will keep the Yankees in second
place. And the days of miracles are past. Not
because the scrappy band of
Stallings was nosed out of a
l-to-0 shut-out by the White
Sox this afternoon. New York
will be lucky to finish better
than fourth, because Hal
Chase appears to be "lay
ing© © down. There is mutiny
in the ranks of the Hilltoppers. Hal Chase, the pet of
his employer and the grand
stand managers who have all
but wrecked Frank Farrell©s
clubs year after year, has
Harold Chase
quit cold. It is not the first
time Chase has_ quit. It may
not be the last time he will quit. It seems to
be a haAit of this greatest of all first basemen.
MADE FIRST JUMP IN 1908..
In 1908, when the Highlanders were hope
lessly wrecked and needed him most as a
drawing card for a tail-end club, Chase
jumped to the California outlaws. It was an
offense that the National Commission would
not have pardoned in a less sensational per
former. TJiis year Chase has quit three times.
This is on the authority of the ball players
of the team, who have turned against their
captain, and who insinuate that unless he is
suspended the club itself will quit. © The play
ers say that Chase deliberately deserted the
team in Athens, Ga., during the Spring train
ing trip. Further, they claim that he tossed
a couple of games to Detroit on the last swing
through the West, and then ran away to New
York without excuse and without notifying
the management.
CHASE IN DISFAVOR.
Furthermore, the players are convinced to
night that yesterday and to-d,ay Chase delib
erately betrayed the chances© of his team
mates. Chase stands almost single-handed in
his fight against Stallings. At the Lexington
Hotel to-night a number of the great major
ity loyal to Stallings were advocating a peti
tion to Frank Farrell to intervene on their
manager©s behalf. Jim Vaughn alone, it is
declared, is with Chase, first and last. Against
Vaughn there is a strong feeling of resent
ment. Vaughn has been a failure this season.
He claims his pitching arm has never been
right since Decoration Day. "Bonesetter"
Barrett, who fixed up a badly broken finger
for Ed Sweeney in less than three weeks, and
who also cured Jack Miller, of the Pirates,
of a bad "Charley horse" in six days, had
Vaughn in charge for a couple of weeks. He
submitted the southpaw to a rigid examina
tion, after which he told©the players: "He is
just as sound in every nerve, muscle and bone
and joint as a two-year old. His trouble is
imaginary.©©
STALLINGS HANDICAPPED.
Naturally, the players do not wish to be
mixed up in managerial squabbles. It doesn©t
pay. It might make trouble if Chase is appoined manager. Not one, but half a dozen
said to the writer to-night:
"If Stallings had been given free rein this
year, he would have won the pennant, or
come so close that the Athletics would hare
been fighting tooth and nail yet. Every time
wf S ot to going properly something came .up.
Of course, we were handicapped by many in
juries; but we would have pulled through if
Chase had pulled with Stallings."
BETTER WITH CHASE OUT.
While Stallings has had nothing but praise
for Chase all season so far as the press, at
least, has been concerned the first baseman
has never reciprocated. It is a noticeable
fact that the club has played better ball with
Knight on first than when the captain was
on the job. The culmination of a season of
secret bickering came to a head to-day. ©Stall
ings and Chase, so the players say, almost
came to blows in the bus on the way to the
hotel from the grounds. Only the loyalty and
persuasion of his players prevented Stallings
from wiring his immediate resignation to
Owner Farrell.
A SORRY SHOWING.
Three times to-day Chase had a chance to
break up the game. Twice, beyond question,
he crossed Bert Daniels and allowed this fast
youngster to- be shown up. The other time
Qhase, who had the pitcher in a hole, slammed
away at a bad one and floated out. In the
ninth, with none out, he hit at the first
pitched ball, which was wide and grounded to
the box. It practically blew New York©s last
hope. Chase is not a batsman who fails ia
such emergencies when he tries.
SHOWS UP DANIELS.
In the first inning to-day Chase was at the
bat, with Daniels on second and Wolter on
first, with none out. The proper play, with
Knight, Laporte and Cree following at bat,
was the sacrifice. Chase signaled the hit-andrun and then swung indolently a foot under
the pitch. Daniels, of course, was nailed a
eity block trying to make third. Daniels sin
gled in the fourth and stole second, despite
the fact that Chase did not offer at a perfect
strike. Then Hal chopped a fly to left. In the
eighth Daniels was on first, with two out,
when the hit-and-run signal was again tipped
off. Chase let Daniels be thrown out at sec
ond without offering at a perfect fast ball
that cut the plate waist high. All this infor
mation comes from Chase©s team-mates.
CHASE©S OBJECT.
According to the players, who will back
Stallings in a body, if it comes to a show
down, the first baseman, who has been exalt
ed to the captaincy this year, is very anxious
to wreck all chances of the club finishing sec
ond. It is pointed out that if Stallings were
able to bring the club from eighth to second
position in two years public sentiment would
stand in the way of a managerial change. The
club members as a whole are determined to
finish second, if possible, so that the Giants
will have no excuses in declining a post-sea
son meeting. ©Stallings to-night would have
nothing to say. He would not deny that tlere
was trouble with Chase, nor would he admit
that Hal was not giving the club his best
services. "If there is any dirty linen to be
washed," said Stallings, "it will be washed
outside the newspapers, if I have my way."
AN ISSUE FORCED.
There are always two sides to every siwy.
Chase might make an ideal manager. Certain
ly he is one of the grandest ball players that
ever donned spikes when he wishes to be.
Chase has never as yet proved his managerial
ability. This end of the game is every bit
as difficult to master as the playing end.
Chase has had to learn to play. He may not
have to learn to manage, but with the re
sentment at present manifested by his com
rades, he will have to get an entirely new
team to get results. In the meantime Mr. Far
rell must .choose between Chase and Stallings.
His fine club will be ruined in jig time if the
present farce is maintained.
BRESNAHAN©S METHOD.
Turned Down a Chance to Get $6,000
and Players for Sallee.
Chicago, 111.. September 14. Owner Kinsella, of the Springfield (Three-I. League)
Club, who is directing his customary pennantwinner, his outfit being so far in front that
it must land on top even if it loses every
game from now on until next Sunday, when
the curtain goes down, while Rock Island, the
place member, is bagging every show, spent
Saturday and Sunday in Chicago. He gave it
out that some four or six weeks ago he tried
to get Harry Sallee from the Cardinals, hav
ing been entrusted by Johnny McGraw to put
the deal over, and that he offered Roger Bresnahau. $12,000 for the lanky southpaw. Mc
Graw wanted Sallee, and wanted him badly,
as Harry, when on his good behavior always
baffles the Cubs and the Pirates, the Giants©
two toughest foes. Bresnahan could have got
$6,000 of Mr. Brush©s money, in addition to
three players, players certainly worth $2,000
apiece, if he would have agreed to make the
sale. Roger, though, said "Nothing doing."
I think he made a mistake. But then he©s a
smart base ball man and perhaps he knew
what he was doing.

The individual claims range from $60 to

AMERICAN LEAGUE NOTES.
The Washingtons last week lost four straight games,
in which they made only five runs all told.
With Ty Cobb resting, it looks as if Lajoie would b«
the only player to make 2>00i hits this season.
The veteran Ted Sullivan has presented President
Comiskey with a fawn for his new ball park.
It is reported that Cleveland will turn First Base
man Stovall over to Washington for next season.
Cunningham, Washington©s new second baseman,
throws more like a shortstop than a second baseman.
Manager McAleer, of Washington, has furloughed
Beckendorf, the catcher, for the remainder of this
season.
Catcher Stanage. of the Tigers, is laid up with a
very sore arm, which the player thinks is due to
rheumatism.
Ray Collins, the young left-hander, who hurls for
the Boston Americans, has turned out to ,be one of
the real finds.
Of Washington©s latest recruits first baseman Somerlot has reported. Pitcher Hennis wants part of the
purchase money.
The Cleveland Club has four lefVhanded outflelders
in Graney, Easterly, Jackson and Cullam; and only
one rifcht-hander in Joe Birmingham.
John Mullen, who served for a. while in 1908 as a
National League umpire, will be found on Ban John
son©s American League staff next year.
Manager McGuire, of Cleveland, is considering the
development of pitcher Koestner into a first baseman.
In practice ho is a regular Chase at the bag.
The Washington Club will not build a new ball
park for another year, but will enlarge the present
plant. The delay is due to difficulty in securing steel.
Choinquard is the name of the latest Chicago White
Sox recruit. With /willing. Meloan and 55eider.
Duffy surely has a bunch of weird names to deal
with.
Pitcher "Red" Nelson, the Browns© recruit, from
Akron. must have something in him to stand off
Walsh in a pitching duel and shut out the latter©s
team.
The real name of tlje Browns© Akron recruit, pitcher
"Red" Nelson, is fitfa to be Albert Horazdovsk.v. of
Polish descent, as is .©icus, alias Quinn, of the High
landers.
Jack Knight is hitting furiously this season. He
was a weak hitter in previous campaigns, and now
seems to have suddenly discovered the elixir of
sw a to logy.
Ty Cobb picks the Athletics to beat the Cubs in
the post-season series. Cobb figures that Coombs and
Bender can outpitch any of the twirlers Frank Chance
has to offer.
Knaupp, Cleveland©s new shortstop, says he is tired
of seeing the name Knapp in the scores. "Knapp,"
he says, sounds like a sleeper, and he is a wide
awake sort of party.
Manager Stallings, of New York, believes that his
two young pitchers, Caldwell and Fisher, are going
to be stars. The former has a peculiar cross-flra
delivery and lols of speed.
Tyrus Cobb is reported to be recovering his eye
sight very speedily. The lead in batting which Lajoio
has obtained is said to have proved an excellent
oculist for the Detroit star.
Bill Bradley, once the peer of third basemen, who
was recently given his unconditional release by Cleve
land, is offered the managerial reins of the Grand
Rapids Club, of the Central League.
Hugh Jennings says the Cubs will beat the Ath
letics in the World©s Series. This leads the New York
"Sun" to remark drily: "Jennings also predicted the
Highlanders would finish last this year."
John Pollock, umpire in the Wisconsin-Illinois
League, was signed last, week by President Ban John
son, of the American League, and reported at onca
for duty. Pollock©s home is at Keevranee, 111.
President Ban Johnson has promulgated the fol
lowing contracts: C. L. Derrick and B. Lord, with
Philadelphia; M. W. Peasley, with Detroit; W. Otey
and W. Ainsmith, with© Washington; T. S. Stanfield,
with Boston.
A St. Louis critic rises to remark that "Red Corridon, the© Browns© new shortstop, is a. dead ringer
for Jake Beckley, the Century Plant, in one respect.
He collects nearly all the real eastate between second
and third bases."
President Hedges, of the Browns, has purchased
an ambidextrous flinger in Frank Romine, of the
Northern -Indiana League. Romine originally was a
southpaw. He lost his speed with the port side and
then became a right-hander.
Manager Jimmy McAleer has signed, or will sign,
a three-year contract with the Washington Club at
$10,000 per annum. If Joe Cantillon was worth that
sum McAleer is surely entitled, on his 191* per
formance, to as much, or more.
President Black, of the San. Antonio Club, of the
Texas League, is reported as having declared that
the Detroit Club would not have the San Antonio
ground privilege next spring owing to "unfulfilled ob
ligations in the way of turning over players."
The following releases have been officially promul
gated by President Johnson: By Chicago, Burg to
Boston; by Cleveland. Krueger to Portland; M. Rath
to Baltimore; O. Burns to Topeka; Thomason to Topefca; by New York, W. Manning to Rochester.
Ralph Woldring, the star pitcher of the Holland
team, of the West Michigan League, will finish th«
season with the Chicago White Sox instead of with
Indianapolis. Woldring was sold to Indianapolis, but
before the deal was completed he waa drafted by
Comiskey.
During the past week a story went the rounds la
ithe effect that the Boston Club was negotiating &
trade of pitcher Wood and catcher Carrigan for
pitcher Joss and catcher Clarke, of Cleveland. Presi
dent Taylor, of Boston, absolutely refused to discuss
the story.
The Chicago White Sox hare more rooters In Bos
ton than any other visiting team. Pat Dougherty, Fred
Parent, Billy Sullivan, Amby McConnell and Harry
Ixird are ex-Boston players. Billy Sullivan hafing onca
held forth with the Hub Nationals, and Jack Collins
hails from Newton.
The absence of left-handed hitters from the Nap
line-up has not added to the chances of Lajoie to
cop the big auto. Larry can murder southpaw pitch
ing, but the Naps have had so few off-side batters
this season that other managers have not cared to
risk their sidewneelers against them.
Manager Connie Mack, of the Athletics, laughs
at the contention that catcher Ira Thomas Isn©t tha
equal of Kling or Archer. "Ira knows the game
and plays it," Mack says. "I am perfectly satisfied
with my eatching department, and would not exchange
it for Archer and Kling under any circumstajaees."
An Alexandria, La., dispatch last Thursday was to
this effect: "That the Cleveland team, o_f the Ameri
can League, will take their Spring practice here next
year was indicated in an application for hotel reser
vation made today. They trained here for several
weeks just before the opening of the present season."
A New York contemporary bewails the fact that "no
other club has let as many live ones get away as
have the Yankees. Somehow the worst boneheads ever
seen on the hill make good as soon as they are turned
loose to other clubs." Pitcher Earle Moore, infleldet
Engle and catcher Kleinow are mentioned as casea in
point.
One of the reasons why there is go little HcMn*
against the umpires in the American League is that
the club owners believe in sustaining President John
son in his policy for clean ball. It is reported to ba
a fact that not a single American League club owner
has filed a protest against the work of any of John
son©s umpires this year.
The New York "American" indignantly remarks:
"Hugh Jennings says Connie Mack will have to bolster
up the Athletics if he hopes to make any showing
against the Cubs. Well, Connie can play nothing but
substitutes and make as good a showing as Jennings
and his Tigers did either against the Cubs or Pirates.
And Jennings had three years to make good, at that."
Sam Kennedy and Bob Gilks are the two explorers
whom Cleveland has had out all year. Kennedy ia
responsible for Fanwell, Mayberry, De Mott, Ruther
ford and Bronkie, while Gilks© proteges are Jackson,
Adams, Knaupp, Thomason, Sid Smith and Veasey.
Thomason and Rutherford have already been passed
up, Thomason being sent back to Topeka last week.
Harold N. Lanigan, of the St. Louis "Tunes,"
quotes Manager Jennings, of Detroit, as saying that
"in the event of another baseball war he would
be glad to manage an invading club in St. Louis,"
which he rates as the best paying base ball city in
the country, exceeding in possibilities even, Boston.
If Jennings said all that or is correctly reported, he
was indiscreet, to say the least.
POOL GAMBLING.
A Raid Showing Its Hold on Women in
Massachusetts.
Fitch burg, Mass., September 11. Base ball
pools sold in this city during the past fewweeks by men who represented a syndicate at
Taunton and other cities have been stopped
by Chief Thayer. The pool-selling became so
fascinating here that many women got inter
ested. Complaints were recorded with Chief
Thayer and he detailed two special officers to
make an investigation. The officers reported
that two pools were being maintained, that
tickets were sold publicly and that several
small pools were being conducted by gather
ings of from 25 to 50 men. Notice was served
upon the pool sellers and they stopped. One
of the men engaged in I he pools gave away
$150 per week, while another syndicate gave
away $500, this beingi; the one which wa»
maintained at Taunton.

GAMES PLAYED SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10.
PROVIDENCE AT JERSEY CITY SEPTEMBER
10 (P. M. AND P. M.).—In order to win the first

pluck. The Grays had a three-run lead when the
ninth inning started, but the Jerseymen got the tal
lies needed to send the game into overtime on three
Jiits, a pass and Hanifan's sacrifice fly. Scare:

Du-bec pitched both games for Montreal, doing better
work in the second than he did in the first, but not
good enough to win. Delehanty saved the second game
being tied up by purposely muffing a foul fly to left
by Curtis with a man on third and one out The
dope was good, as Curtis fanned on the next ball.
Carroll finished up a good job by fanning Dubec.

Springstead's Rochester Short Sayings.
Rochester, N. Y., September 15.—Editor
"Sporting Life:"—At the present time it
looks very much as though the Rochester
Hustlers had got ths pennant cinched. With.
but fourteen games to play, and a lead of
31 points over Newark, it is almost certain,
that John Ganzel will land another champion
ship for President Chapin. It has been a
strong and bitter fight for several months be
tween Ganzel and McGinnity for supremacy,
and the former has come out ahead. The
Newark Club in eleven games played in Roch
ester has drawn over 75,000 people. The
Rochester people have admired Joe McGinnity
for the heroic work he has done for his team.
In the final game last week, before 8000
fans, with the "Iron Man" in the box, the
Hustlers took kindly to his offerings and drove
in six runs in the first inning, when he gave
up and was ably succeeded by the ex-Bron
cho, Jimmy Cleary. McConnell was unsteady
and he was relieved by Pat Ragan. Ragan
has been a Jonah to the Indians all the sea
son. While we are thinking about it, we must
say that Ragan has done splendid work for
the Hustlers. He got a rather bad start but
when he got in form he has been a terror to
the opposing batsmen. He is a good fielding
pitcher and likes lots of work. He will be
with Brooklyn next season. Detroit has also
secured a good pitcher in Lafitte, who has
done grand work for Rochester this year, and
should be given a thorough trial by the
Tigers. Another grand player is Walter Blair,
who has caught 133 games. He has batted in
good form, has made 105 hits and 42 runs, 14
sacrifices and 16 stolen bases, and has a field
ing average of .976. He is to have another
trial by the New ^ork Americans. Graham,
a new man has been behind the bat several
times and has created a very creditable im
pression. Moran has joined the team after be
ing out of the game nearly all season with a
sprained ankle. Too bad that he could not
have been with us all season. "Ducky 1 '
Holmes worked in a double-header against
Montreal and won them both. Osborn is the
only member of the team who has taken part
in every game played, and he has been a very
valuable member: his hitting has been hard
and timely. Batch has also done splendid
work; while Dan Moeller leads the Eastern
League in stolen bases, and is batting much
better than last season. "Goat" Anderson
is chief of the coaching staff, and has done
good service. Last night Manager Ganzel gave
out the news that he had bought the release
of "Red" Spencer from the New York Giants.
Spencer has played first base nearly the whole
season, and is without doubt the best field
ing; first sacker in the Eastern League. Pie
has been rather weak with the stick until the
past few weeks, when his average has in
creased considerable.
D. C. Chace's Providence Plaints.
Providence, R. I., September 15.—Editor
"Sporting Life:"—There was very little sat
isfaction to the fans in the way the Grays
wound up the season at home. Jersey City
offered what the humorists were pleased to
term a "thrilling battle for the cellar cham
pionship," in which the Skeeters were ahead
by about a hairsbreadth. About the only
reason for attending the games was the fact
that these tail-end teams were, so evenly
matched that it was possible to arouse some
excitement over the results. The last visit of
the season was from the Orioles, and as Jack
Dunn once won a pennant for Providence, all
the bugs turn out to watch his charges per
form. They succeeded in bowling over the
best of the Providence pitchers, so that the
series on the whole did not contribute mate
rially to local pride. Providence has been
trying out a number of young pitchers sine*

BRIEF REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Kundegraber's Kansas City Briefs.
Kansas City, Mo., September 13.—-Editor
"Sporting Life.-"—Kansas City won six out
of ten games played since our last review,
winding up at Milwaukee and returning home
for the fina-1 series on the home grounds with
the Millers and St. Paul. The last two games
at Milwaukee were easy for us, and in the
scramble with the Millers we took three out
of four games. The Saints, whom we trimmed
to a nicety the last time they were here,
proved a stumbling block and have takea
three out of four, with the last game her»
this afternoon, the result of which may send
us back into the second division. Manager
Shay has had a hard struggle keeping his
team in the first section and has fought ev
ery inch of the way. It seems that whenever
we reach a critical period Fred Hunter and
same of the other heavy hitters on the team
strike a bdtting slump. Three of the games
lost this week could have been won with a
timely hit at the right moment. Fred Hunter,
James and Love tried their best to drive over
the runs needed, but each time made a fail
ure. Count Barbeau has been playing a sen
sational game and it is no fault of his that
the team is not better situated. He is im
proving in his hitting and has great hopes of
making good next season. He admits that hi&
record this year with the stick is n'ot what
it should be and believes that he will be
able to "come back" next year. The pitch
ers, with the exception of Swann, are in fair
condition, but have had more or less bad
luck. Powell seems to be the mainstay of
the club and his loss of Sunday's thirt«eninning struggle nearly broke his heart. The
club left last night for the final trip to
the North, where they will meet Minneapolis
and St. Paul, after which they will return
home for the final series of the season with
the Brewers. It will mean a hard fight for
Shay to keep his club in the first division, as
the five games with the Minneapolis leaders
and four games with St. Paul, with whom we
are practically tied for fourth place—on their
own grounds, gives us a shade the worst of
it. However, the Hill Climbers are anxious
for the fray and believe they will be able to
get at least half of the grames. The sudden
spurt of Toledo and Columbus is the talk of
the sports in this section. There is no chance
for the Kansas City Blues to head either of
the leaders.
Toledo Tips By Al. Howell.
Toledo, O., September 13.—Editor "Sport
ing Life."—The fight between Columbus and
Toledo for second place honors is even closer
than a week ago. The Hens gave their fol
lowers a scare on Saturday by losing a dou
ble-header at Louisville, while the Senators
were trimming the Hoosiers twice. However,
on Sunday the Hinchman party evened up
matters by capturing a pair, the Friel crowd
winning and losing. Toledo got out of Louis
ville with an even break in six games. Ying
ling won two of the contests and James took
one. By the way, this James looks like th»
real thing. He not only has won the three
games he has officiated in, but he has plainly
shown by his "smoke" and control that he
has the class. James is an inch or two taller
than Charlie Carr. but rather lean. Bill Ar
mour's army invades Columbus to-morrow for
a four-game series, one game to the good.
Kansas City is still in the race, and may
cause trouble for both Columbus and Toledo.
Outfielder Otto Burns, purchased by Cleve
land from the Danville (Three-I. League)
Club, has been turned over to Toledo, and is
playing in left field. His work so far has
been excellent. Ray Hancock, loaned to
Mansfield last Spring, joined the loc,al club
this week. Hancock pitched 80 games this
ea tto »weaty>fix»t
Two-base hit—Flaherty.
Sacrifice hit—Manush.
Struck out—By Flaherty 1, Hess 3. First on balls—
Off Hess 1. Hit by pitcher—By Flaherty 4. Left

END OF THE RACE.
The New Orleans Club, for the Second
Time in a Decade Wins the Champion
ship, and That, Too, With Comparative
Ease—Record of the 1910 Campaign.
The tenth annual championship race of the
Southern League, which began April 14, end
ed September 17 with New Orleans as the
champion team for the second
time in the ten-year career -of
this league, whose pennantwinners
were
as follows:
Nashville, 1901-02-08;- Mem
phis, 1903-04; Atlanta, 190709; Birmingham, 1906; and
New Orleans, 1905-10. The
race just ended was, on the
whole, uneventful and lacking
in sensational features, as the
success of New Orleans was
foreshadowed early in the
season and was definitely set
tled several weeks before the
Charles Frank
felose, leaving the close strug
gle for second place as between Birmingham
and Atlanta the only point of interest.' In the
fight for the place Birmingham won out, thus
gaining five pegs on the preceding season,
TV'hile the champion Atlanta team had to be
content with third place. The remaining teams
were well bunched, even the tail-end Mont
gomery team making a good showing, not be
ing clamped down in the last place until the
final week of the campaign.
Chattanooga,
Nashville, Mobile and Memphis struggled
hard for the one remaining place in the first
division and the Chattanooga team, which at
the start was regarded as a championship
probability, finally captured the position,
•which was a gain of three pegs on last' year's
showing of Little Rock, whose place Chatta
nooga took this season. Nashville, the placeteam of last year, had to be content with fifth
place this year; Mobile finished in precisely
the same position as last season, sixth; and
Memphis, the tail-ender of 1909, gained one
peg this season. The season was not as suc
cessful from a material point of view as in
recent years, owing, doubtless, to the bad
•weather of the Spring, the general business
depression, and the unexciting character of
the race. The wise administration of Presi
dent Kavanaugh and rigid adherence to sal
ary-limit and team-limit rules averted disas
ter and the league went through the trying
season with colors flying, with hope undiminished, and with prospects for the future
unimpaired. Following is the complete record
of the 1910 championship season:

tesy was granted. As Birmingham will prob
ably finish second in the race, the Fall meet
ing was awarded. The date will be in Octo
ber instead of December, as formerly, on ac
count of the desire of Southern League mag
nates to forearm themselves against the meet
ing of the National Commission, which oc
curs in November. The argument was made
that Southern League presidents could bet
ter go about procuring season©s material if
they knew in advance what the Southern

"Sporting Life:" The Sea Gulls have got
ten out of last place with a rush, and are
now safely ensconced in sixth place, with a
,bare chance to beat Nashville out for filth.
The work of the entire team on this final
road trip has been superb. They are averag
ing nearly ten hits per game, and their field
ing has been sensational. Every man on the
team has boosted his batting average, Wag
ner. Swaeina and Seitz especially. To date
the team has won eight, lost three and tied
two games on the trip. Including Saturday©s
double-header at Nashville, Mobile had to play
four double-headers in succession, which is a
Southern League record. Yesterday Johnny
Fisher let Chattanooga down without a hit,
only two men reaching first, but the Gulls
were unable to get a r/nn across, so the score
ended in a tie. Another double-header re
mains to be played with the Lookouts to-mor
row, and should Mobile win both and Nash
ville lose to Birmingham the Gulls will go
into fifth place. Three more games follow
with Atlanta and the season ends. The "Gar
rison© © finish of the Gulls is in pleasing con
trast to that of the previous two years, when
the team was in third place until the last
mgnth of the season and then dropped to fifth
place. Rumor connects "Ginger" Beaumont
and Jesse Burkett with the leadership of the
Sea Gulls next season, but the club officials
deny that anything definite has been done in
regards to selecting a manager.

BRIEF REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Lawrence H. Smith©s Chattanooga Chat.
Chattanooga, Term., September 14. Editor
©©Sporting Life.©© It is positively decided
that Chattanooga will have a new manager
next year. Dobbs stated a short time ago
that lie would not accept the position for an
other year, even if it was offered him. It
probably would not have been offered at that,
for he has not made a howling success of the
team this year. With practically an unlimited
amount of money at his disposal«at the open
ing of the season, he picked up what locked
to be the cream of the league oh paper. This
estimate they upheld for about a inonth and
a half and then came the slump that has not
ended yet. Had Dobbs been able to keep the
boys in good humor and got the best work
out of them that they were capable of put
ting up, the base ball public here would not
have said a word. It is not because there are
three teams ahead of us that the fans are
sore; it is because that when they pay their
good money they expect to see a ball game
and not see nine young fellows go out on the
diamond and loaf around, not caring a bit
how the game comes out. That is what the
fans here have had to put up with this year,
and that, together with very adverse weather
conditions, have lost the owners a good deal
of money. Or possibly I should say it has
kept them from making a good deal. When
the Lookout players happen to get really int^rested in a game (which is about once a
month) they have the edge on any team they
go 5-jtp againsji But let the opposing team
get a lead of a run or two, and it is all off.
Of course, there are exceptions to this. Some
few of the boys put up the best game they
know how every day, and for them the fans
have nothing but praise, but it is the loafers
on the team that have cost us the pennant
this year just as sure as New Orleans will
win it. And Dobbs couldn©t make them work.
Another mistake that he made was letting
"Old Bill" Hart go. Bill was winning half
of his games right along and would have con
tinued to do so to the end of the season.
New Orleans couldn©t beat him, and neither
could Nashvil>e. Since he was released we
have lost seven to Nashville and eight to
New Orleans. Of course, if Graham had
shown up as well as Dobbs said he would we
would not have kicked, but as it turned out,
we were justified at least. Who will be in
charge next is not known yet. If the owners
have decided yet, they are very careful not
to give it out. Let us hope that he will make
a better showing than the man whose place
he takes.
Birmingham Secures League Meet.
Birmingham, Ala., September 14. Editor

New Orleans Club, has wajved the right of the

Nashville, Teun., September 15. Editor
"Sporting Life:" The Southern League
season closes Saturday. Nashville is fighting
hard for a position in the first division. If
she can win two games from New Orleans
and Chattanooga drops a like number the
feat will have been accomplished. The Vol
unteers, hustlrng to keep out of the last di
vision during the last three games, is quit& a
contrast to©two years ago, when one of the
hottest finishes ever known in any league was
pulled off here, when Nashville snatched the
pennant from New Orleans by one point, byone game and by one score. There is likely to
be a complete renovation of the Volunteers
next season. We are beginning to think that
Bill Bernhard will again lead the team, but
there will be many new faces in the line-up.
The season has not been a success financially,
as far as Nashville is concerned, and the own
ers have realized that the patrons here de
mand a high-class team, and with one divi
dends will flow into the coffers of the mag
nates, but a losing team is a white elephant.
Of the pitchers Kuepper will likely be the
only one retained. The pitching corps has
been our one weak spot this season. The men
composing it did not seem to be able to pitch
consistently. They would pitch star ball one
day and bush league ball the next, Kuepper
being an exception. Manager Bernhard is
busy studying the dope sheet now preparatory
to putting in drafts. He has his eye on a lot
of youngsters whom he will try to get by the
draft route.
Sid Holland©s Atlanta Letter.
Atlanta,
Ga.,
September
14. Editor
"Sporting Life." With but a few days left
of the season the Atlanta team has only a
bare chance now to nose Birmingham out of
second place. Of late Bayless and Johns have
played in winning form. These two men, by
their let-down, did more to hurt Atlanta©s
chances than all other cases of sickness and
injuries combined. President Heiseman, while
attendance at ihe National Commission
draft session in Cincinnati, landed two fine
men an outfielder, Arthur Fenlon, from the
Western League, and a crack catcher to take
Sid Smith©s position for 1911. We have land
ed up to date five new outfielders, three catchrs, and four new men for the infield positions.
Draft and purchase price for 1911 will show
that the Atlanta management will turn loose
the coin in chunks for a winning team. Every
man on the Atlanta pay roll next season will
have to work for his position or get out and
make room for new blood. As we stated last
week, only two managers in this league are
certain of their jobs next year, namely, Jor
dan and Charlie Frank. Memphis wants Tom
Fisher, our big blonde pitcher; Chattanooga
wants a change and Mobile and Montgomery
are looking for new pilots.
Want "Pay For Pants."
New Orleans, La., September 13. Editor
"Sporting Life." Charley Frank©s New Or
leans Southern League Club was made the de
fendant in a damage suit for $40 last week in
First City Court. The petitioner, Adam .Rebbenneck, alleges that while attending a recent
game between the Pelicans and Birmingham,
he "tore his pants on an old and dilapidated
seat in the base ball grand stand, thereby mu
tilating them to such an extent as to place the
petitioner in an embarrassing, as well as hu
miliating condition." Bebbenneck values the
pants at $10, places his suffering at $20 and
asks $10 additional as punitive damages.
News Notes.
The father of Captain George Rohe, of the New
Orleans team, died in Cincinnati on September 12.
Mobile officials repudiate the report emanating from
Worcester that .Tesse Burkett, the old time St. Loui»
and Cleveland player, will succeed George Reed a*
manager there.

Former President .Take Wells, of the Virginia
league, is advocating the succession of Richmond and

President Andrews, of tho Chattanooga Club, doesn©t

THE SEASON ENDED.
Wilkes-Barre Is Again the Champion Team
After a Close and Exciting Race Well
Sustained From Start to Finish—The
Season Not Successful Financially.
The fifteenth annual championship season
fof the well-b-alanced and skillfully conducted
New York State League, which began May 4,
ended September 18 with
Billy Clymer's Wilkes-Barre
team the pennant-winners for
the second successive time by
almost the same record and
percentage as a year ago,
thus showing that the leagu^
as a whole had well main
tained its strength and jjalance. The race was one of
the few close ones of the
1910 season, and one of the
best in the history of the
long-established New York
Wilkes-Barre, El
Wm. Clymer League.
mira and Albany all led at
times. Scranton was within one game of first
place twice and only Troy and Binghamton
failed to get into the first division at some
stage of the race. In the last month of the
campaign Wilkes-Barre went well to the front
and came home in an easy canter. The battle
for second place was a' hot one and was not
settled until the last day's play, when^Syracuse got the place, thus advancing four pegs
over last year. JElmira come up from sixth
place last year to a close third this year, despite
a very poor start. Scranton, with a fourthplace finish, made the most notable gain, as
Monte Cross had to start the season with last
year's tail-end team. Albany and Utica were
the disappointments of the season, as they
failed to maintain their first-division status
of last year and had to be content with, re
spectively, fifth -and sixth places this year.
Troy also failed to make the slightest gain
on the preceding season, and once more
graced seventh place. Binghamton was left at
the post, changed managers twice, and was
never in the race. The team went to the bot
tom early .and never emerged therefrom, al
though it played good ball in the latter part
of the season under Harry Lumley's manage
ment. The season was less successful finan
cially owing partly to local conditions and
largely to the enforced abandonment of Sun
day ball in the New York end of the circuit
owing to fanatical local opposition to the
harmless amusement, which was aided and
abette'd by the bigot Governor of New York
State. Following is the complete season rec

his work. A riot almost ensued in the, visitors© half
of tha ninth, when Kay was called out at the plate
by O©Brien. The Albany players charged upon the

BRIEF REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Addie Richardson Recounts Hamilton Claims.
Hamilton,
Ont.,
September
14. Editor
Sporting Life."
The Hamilton "Herald"
has started a boom for a fund wherewith to
purchase the Binghamton franchise and place
this good base ball city in the New York
State League. Since the movement was start
d. I have interviewed fully fifteen of the most
nthusiastic local financial fans, and 1 I find
them most eager to make a deal with the
. Y.,., stockholders for their
Binghamton,,
franchise, or any other franchise in this fast
Class B organization, the New York State
League, and there will be no trouble in rais
g fully $15,000 for a starter. The local
press is very enthusiastic, and the sporting
scribes of the
"Herald,"
"Times"
and
"Spectator," Messrs. McMullen, Dodsworth
and Robinson, respectively, have assured your
representative that the sporting columns of
their papers are open to further the interests
of professional ball. The city since 1885 has
been represented thirteen years profession
ally, and to-day the old burg is base ball hun
gry. A fine base ball park with excellent
street railway facilities and money are ready.
Hamilton people are now in correspondence
with President John H. Farrell in re the referred-to franchise, and a favorable answer is
most anxiously awaited.
© Some Scranton Satisfaction.
Scranton,
Pa.,
September
14. Editor
"Sporting Life." Despite Wilkes-Barre© s
success in keeping at the top of the list,
Scranton has had the satisfaction of winning
a majority of the games played with WilkesBarre, and when the season ends will proba
bly have won more games from Wilkes-Barre
than any other team in the league. Scranton
fans are looking forward eagerly for the threesame series with the Barons. The series may
have a big bearing on the pennant, and the
Miners, though hopelessly out of the hunt, are
anxious to take all three games. Manager
Cross has had about the hardest row to hoe
of any manager in the circuit. Early in tne
season Staley jumped the team and left a big
hole, and recently when the team was making
a spurt for second place, outfielder Miller quit
and was promptly suspended by Cross. Scran
ton fandom would like to se« Monte Cross at
the head of the team next season, although
no word has been passed between him and
Owner Coleman.

A Post-Season Tour.
Albany, N. Y., September 14. Editor
"Sporting Life." The games at Albany and
Troy this week were transferred to WilkesBarre and Troy respectively, in order to get
a little more money. Neither of the two teams
has been drawing well at home. It does not
indicate very good base ball spirit to have
the games switched like that, but there was
help for it, considering how deeply both
olaJ>« had
iat»
bob. Be»ide», wfcai
was the use of giving the local public base
ball when absence from the games showed
conclusively that the patrons had enough of
it for this season. Shortstop "JSmmy" Tamett, of the Albany Club, has decided to take
a team of New York State League players
on a barnstorming trip at the close of the
league season.
Among the places where
games have been scheduled are Paterson, N.
J., Glens Palls, Hudson, Pittsfleld, Hoosick
Palls and Whitehall. The team will be com
posed of Brieger, Wilkes-Barre, catcher; Pappalau, Binghainto_n;
Stein,
Albany; Wolf
gang. Boston, pitchers; McGamwell. Troy,
irst base; O©Rourke. Albany, second base;
Tamsett, Albany, shovtstopi Raftis, Bingham
ton, third base: Duffy, Troy; Kay, Albany;
and ©©Jack" Gilbert, outfielders.
Eddie Conncrs a Manager.
Soranton,
Pa.,
September
15. Editor
©©Sporting Life.©© Eddie Connors, of Pittston, who played a few games with Scranton
and York in the State and Tri-State Leagues
this season, has been signed to manage the
McKeesport (Pa.) team, of the Ohio-Pennsyl
vania League. His contract is a 1911 one,
and he will look after getting a team together
for next season. Eddie was signed by Man
ager Cross when Staley left, but he failed to
hit. Monte landed him a job with the York
tffl-m, of the Tri-Stat©e. He hit there, but
didn©t field very well, and he was let go to
make room for Mert Whitney. McKeesport
picked him up, as lie played fine ball in the
ame league as,that team with Steubenville
in 1908. Squire Mansfield, owner of the Mc
Keesport team, thought he would make good
again this year. Eddie has played first and
third and captained the team since he joined
it in July and showed well at the bat and
in the field. Connors is a scrappy ball player
and has always been a good hitter. He is a
veteran in the game, getting his start with
Wilkes-Barre about five years ago. His play
ing in Steubenville helped win the pennant©
for that city in the old P. O. M. League. He
didn©t play at all last season, as he was in
no condition.
Elmira Club Subjected to FineAuburn, N. Y., September 15. Editor
"Sporting Life." President John H. Fari©ell, of the New York State League, an
nounces that the Elmira Club has been or
dered to pay over $300 to Wilkes-Barre as a
result of their failure to appear in WilkesBarre to play a Sunday game on August 14.
A vote of the club owners in the league was
taken on the matter and they awarded ©the
Barons the above-named amount. When Sun
day base ball was stopped in New York, the
owners decided, at a mee>.i.ig held in Utica,
that when York State teams were at home
with a team that could play Sunday ball in
ts town that the York State team would
transfer the Sunday game to the city where
a game could be played. Wilkes-Barre was
in Elmira on August 13 and the Sunday
game was scheduled for Elmira. but it being
against the law to play there President Far
rell instructed the Colonels to go to WilkesBarre for the Sunday contest. They refused
to do this and Wilkes-Barre asked for $300
damages. Elmira refused to go to Utica last
Sunday, and it is more than likely that the
Jtes will also ask and receive damages. Presdent Farrell is to be commended for his ac
tions. Elmira has tried to run the league at
all stages of the game this year, forfeiting
twiee and using an ineligible pitcher on an
other occasion. This thing of keeping other
clubs from making money should not be tol
erated.
News Notes.
Hartley, the Albany outflelder, is anxious to be
given a trial in the box.
to be very doubtful.
Manager Clarfce, of Albany, is well pleased with
young O©Connell, who is playing at short for the
Senatois, and he will be retained next year.
There is a story afloat that Manager Ashenback, of
Syracuse, will go to Wilkes-Barre next year and that
Clymer will become manager of a major league club.
Tho Syracuse Club©s dearth of available pitchers was
Illustrated in one game last week in which third baseman O©Dell (once a good pitcher) was pressed into
service on the mound.
"The best hitter in this league" Is the title being
bestowed on Jay Kirke, the Miners© star second
baseman. .Tay hasn©t a weakness at bat and fairly
dotes on wild pitches.
Hessler, the Elmira right fielder, will be married
»oon after the close of the State League season to
Miss Jane E. Crowley, of Elmira. The bride-to-be is
said to be a thirty-third degree "fan."
Monto Cross, Scranton©s able and popular leader,
is firm in the opinion t/hat bis former team-mates,
the Athletics, will trim Chicago in the World©s
Series and gives soipe good reasons for his belief.
In all the cities where he has played the base
ball writers have complimented young Roth, the
Water-filet boy, who is playing third for Troy. He
seems to be a comer, although, naturally, be has
much to learn.
THE EASTERN LEAGUE.
(Continued from the thirteenth page.)
the smaller leagues closed, recruits coming
from both the New England and Connecticut
Leagues. None of the youngsters seemed to
be able to add anything to the Providence
percentage. The drafting of Elmer Steel e by
Pittsbirrg takes from this city about the best
pitcher in the Eastern League. His work in
all departments has been of the star order,
and a brilliant career is predicted for him.
Montreal Mention By ShannonMontreal, September 15. Editor "Sport
ing Life." The news appeared in "Sporting
Life" of the 10th to the effect that the
president of the Montreal Club would only
be too willing to sell the franchise of the
Royals. Another paragraph appears in a
Montreal paper telling us what Manager Bar
row expects to do fox the season of 1911.
Well, we have been promised so much in
Spring and Fall, and nothing materializing,
that fans have eome to the conclusion that
the present manager has nothing on past
managers of the club.
Works or winning
play speak louder than using the press as a
means to what we might expect to be jollied
19
last stand and may or may not hold their
present "position (6) which seems about as
good as what they can do.
News No|«s.
"Big Dick" Carroll, who will be with the New
York Americans next season©, Is pitching- great ball
for ths Toronto team.
The Providence© Club has sold outflelder Curt Elston to the Boston American Club, and has secured
pitcher Findhiyson from the Lawrence (New England
League) Club.
, s:i
The opinion is general among Providence fans that
Manager Collius has been hampered at every turn of
the race in his efforts to get together a winning club.
It is reported that Jimmy is manager in name only.
Wilbur Corey, the young Toronto pitcher who has
been laid up in a Baltimore hospital with typhoid, is
getting along very well. President MeCafferey has re
ceived a note from the dqctor in attendance saying
that he is improving steadily and will soon be out of
the hospital.
Just as soon as the Eastern League season closes
Walter Blair, who was with the Yankees, will go
back to the hill-top team.
They do come back.
Blalr©s work in the Eastern League this season for
J.lie Rochester .Club has led many base ball men to
©believe that he will never go back this time.

nahan intended to use the youngsters on the last
Eastern trip.
Bob Ewiug has enjoyed a good season. He has
been a good regular winner for tire Phillies and has
shown much better than during his last campaign
with ths Beds.
There have been six triple plays in the National
League this season, an unusuil number. They have
been made by New York, Cincinnati 2, Brooklyn, St.
Louis and Chicago.
Outflelder Wilbur Goode, drafted from Baltimore
by Boston, last week joined the Doves hi©advance of
the Eastern League season close, by permission of
Manager Jack Dunn.
A Cincinnati contemporary remarks that "Archer
and Cole are the only Chicago players who haven©t
been under tire in a world©s series." Archer played
with Detroit in the 1.907 series.
Manager McGraw©s Texas League recruits, , Gowdy
and Shontz, look good in action. Gowdy is©a tali
well built youth, who surely hits the ball hard.
Shontz is a tall right-handed pitcher.
The Boston team on September 12 played an exhi
bition game at Lowell. beating the local New England
League team ltt-2. Before the game local friends pre
sented Manager Lake with a diamond ring.
The Lynn Club, of the New England, on Septem
ber 13 played an exhibition game with the Boston
I>oves and shut them out, 2-0..
Pitcher McCorry
toeld the major leaguers to two scattered singles.
Outflelder Bob Coulson, who has been secured by
Brooklyn from Altoona, was with the Cincinnati
Beds for a short time a couple of years ago, and
was sent back to the, minors for further experience.
Dick Breen. purchased by Cincinnati from Van
couver, is- the leading fielder and second best hitter
in the Northwestern League. His position is third
base. He is a big, husky chap, and looks as though
he can make good.
Burg, a young inflelder purchased by the Chicago
White Sox from the Quiucy, 111., Club, has been se
cured by the Boston Nationals, who refused to waive
Chicago asked4 for a chance to send the boy
back to the minors.
Manager Chance, of Chicago, believes that Overall
will be ready to work in the World©s Series, and from
now on intends to pitch him in his turn, hoping that
the practice, will make him fit for the strain of the
championship struggle.
s of the Giants© partisans believe that the team
man is built like an ideal first sacker and
under McGraw©s tutelage it is thought he would
develop into a star in that position.
New York critics say that "Southpaw Hendrtcks
exhibits a puzzling drop. ball, and with experience
ought to develop into a winner." Hendilcka was
. "Hard luck has followed us everywhere. Last
everything broke in our favor. A team without
jood fortune cannot win a pennant.©
Manager Clarke Griffith, of the Cincinnati Reds.
derides the idea of a third baseball league. The
"Old Fox" says that a clever baseball man is need
ed to guide the insurgents, and that is the insur
mountable obstacle which faces the promoters who
intend to butt In on the old orga«fiea.tions.
Frank Bancroft may head a team of Japanese
players on a barnstorming tour of UOT country. The
veteran business manager of the Cincinnati Beds
is now considering a propositicm made to him by a
friend who would like to see the Orientals measure
strength with the best teams of our country.
In the Philadelphia-Chicago game of September
15 John Kling caught the fall nine innings for the
Cubs, yet he toiled not, neither did he spin. In ad
dition he didn©t have a single assist, put-out or er
ror. He went through the entire game without the
6ign of a chance, which is protebly a record.
President Barney Dreyfuss. of the Pirates, Is af
flicted with a series ef boils, which will take the place
of the World©s Series for him Utis FalL Barney
thanks his stars that he has not eczema and house
maid©s knee also. The showing of his team tills year
has been enough to give him almost any disease.
President Dreyfuss, of Plttsirarg, has the only
"woman scout in base ball." Miss Barbara Hall,
leading lady of "The Rosary" Company, enjoys the
unique distinction.
She it was who recommended
J»ck Flyun, now with the Pirates, to the Boston
Americans long before Jack received his PlUsborf
publicity.
Frank Chance, the wily manager of the Chicago
Cubs, is resting up for the world©s series. Frank©*
underpinning has been ailing him since the time
he collided with George B.. Gibson in Pittsbursr last
He recently went to YounBstown to see Bonevear
setter Beese, only to find that the hitter had gone
to Europe.
In the New York-Pittstourg double-header of Sep
tember 13 Manager Clarke. of the Pirates, was put off
the coaching lines in the first game, and Manager McGraw objected to his going on the lines for the second
game McGraw was not sustained by O©Das. Uiough a,
player put off the field in the first pune may not r>
on in the second.
Manager Clark Griffith, of tie Reds, offers a sug
gestion to eliminate the absolute power which tha
umpires now enjoy on the field, hy the appointment
of secrect inspectors, whose duty It stall be to
witness games from the grand stand and make a
report to the head of the league on ewry mistake
made by umpires on the field.

be played by September 21, and these are to
be in series of three twice in each city, so
that six more games will be seen by the fans
in every one of the eight cities, and with a
double-header here and there. South Bend
should quit the season with the credit of win
ning a majority of games from each of the
other seven clubs, and but for the fact that
South Bend won 12 of 20 from Fort Wayne,
the latter would have a show for the same rec
ord. The draft and sale of Central League
players is not so heavy as had been^ antici
pated. A good many reported sales seem to
have strings. No owner has fared better in
deals with the majors than Smith, of Terre
Haute, who began early to recoup prospective
losses of the season by selling players, one
of whom only was for immediate delivery.
Smith is a business man, and always has been
a money-maker, even in base ball.

BRIEF REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Wheeling©s Franchise Beally For Sale.
Fort Wayne, Ind., September 15. Editor
"Sporting Life." There is little room to
doubt that President B. F. Perkins, of the
"Wheeling Club, is ready to quit base ball and
has placed the Stogie base ball franchise on
the market, holding his club at $12,000. Perkius claims to have lost $6,000 this season,
which, if true, would make his demand of
$12,000 look like highway robbery^ He hasn©t
any very valuable players, and his grounds
fire practically worthless, so the only thing he
lias to offer is the franchise itself. Perkins
and his partner, William Erwin, are both ca
pable business men in Wheeling, worth one
hundred thousand dollars apiece, most of
which they made themselves, but neither has
l>een able to apply the same business methods
to the base ball club that worked so success
fully in their other pursuits. Claude H. Variu>ll, who owns the local club and whose home
is in Wheeling, said to-day: "I expected to
hear that Perkins and Erwin were ready to
quit running the Wheeling Club. They©re both
too nutty over the game to make successful
men at the head of the club. Their demand
for $12,000 does look a bit unreasonable to
me. I know a man in Wheeling who will give
S3,500 or $4,000 for the franchise, put $5,000
into ©the grounds and put the club on a run
ning basis. The city is ripe for good base ball,
which means not only a winning team, but
right treatment of fhe patrons. No finer men
«>vei lived than Perkins and Erwin. but they
don©t seem to get the hang of running a base
ball duo. I doubt that Wheeling will be out
of the Central League next year."
Closing Stage of the Race.
Terre Haute, Ind., September 14. Editor
"Sporting Life." With last Friday©s games
in the Central League, Terre Haute fvmshed

Talk of the League©s Future.
Dayton, O., September 15. Editor "Sport
ing Life." Now that it is admitted that the
Wheeling, Zanesville, Grand Rapids and Terre
Haute are financial losers on the season, that
old talk of redistricting the Central League is
heard again. According to the latest rumors
Wheeling and Zanesville are to be dropped
and Grand Rapids will stiil be a member of
the circuit. Base ball in Grand Rapids could
be made to pay if Annis sticks to the Raider
City next season and gets a good team there
he ought to make enough to more than pay
him for his trouble. Two towns, probably
from the Three-I. League, are said to be after
two berths. What is needed is a more com
pact circuit. This would reduce the trav
eling expenses of the clubs and with Zanesville and Wheeling out of the game the money
paid out for sleepers would be slight. Another
suggestion that is being discussed by the mag
nates is the dropping of Monday games from
the schedule. Instead of the regular Monday
game, two games would be played on Sunday
when double prices would be charged. This
would give the league the 140-game schedule
and enable the teams to finish just as soon as
they do now. This method has been tried by
the Central Association and found to be a
paying venture. The Monday crowds never
amount to anything while the double bill on
Sundays always draws a large crowd.

NOTICE TO BASE BALL PLAYERS
The National Commission will be governed by the following rules in
cases coming before it in the future where the rights of a club to re
serve a player are questioned:
First Where a contract contains a reservation clause, the player
shall not be held to be free from reservation unless the clause is stricken
out from the contract.
Second Where a contract does not contain a reservation clause,
every club nevertheless has a right to reserve a player, unless the player
can produce a written agreement that he was not to be reserved, or a
preponderance of evidence to that effect.
Third On and after December 15, 1903, all written agreements ©re
leasing a player from reservation must be written on the same docu
ment as the contract itself, and no written agreement offered by a play
er releasing him from reservation will be considered unless it ante
dates that time.

he has the necessary capital and playing tal

FLETCHER TOO LIBERAL.
However, it appears that Mr. Fletcher is
iving away what does not belong to him.
eriously opposed to another being generous
with their money, Messrs. E. V. Wilburn and
Jeff Livingston, the millionaire promoters of
the ill-fated scheme to tour the country with
two all-star teams from the major leagues, to
day appealed to Chairman Herrmann, of the
National Commission, to prevent the players
under contract to collect the $25,000 in cer
tified checks after D. A. Fletcher had given
the players permission to annex a little "soft
money" and to redeem the paper at their
pleasure. The two promoters have $30,000 in
cash tied up in banks, and, through the Na
tional Commission, hope to curb their co-part
ner©s sudden generosity. If that is not ef
fectual the law will be appealed to. At any
rate, the star players have not a very swell
chance to cash their paper, notwithstanding
Mr. Fletcher©s permission (?) to that effect.
WHO FLETCHER IS.
Practically born into the base ball business
was D. A. Fletcher, the Cincinnati man who
is promoting a new major league, which he
confidently thinks will make one of the pres
ent major leagues go out of business. When
Fletcher was born, his father was in the base
ball manufacturing business. When baby
Fletcher was old enough to have toys, he
played with base balls, and when he became
older his father gave him all the base balls
he wanted and told him to go out and play to
his heart©s content. At the age of fourteen
Fletcher began to travel for the concern with
which his father was connected. He sold base
balls, thousands upon thousands of them, but
drifted out of the business at the age of 20.
ASSUMES ROLE OF PROMOTER.
He then became a prompter. He created
. new lines of business and interested capital.
He was successful. He promoted tent cities,
railroad enterprises and © scores of different
ventures. Four years ago he began to turn to
base ball again. "Why not organize two allstar teams and have them play a series of
games in the principal cities of the country?"
was one of the ideas which popped into his
head. He dismissed the matter at the time,
but it recurred from time to time. He made
an attempt to carry it out last year, but start
ed too late and gave it up. This year he in
terested Cincinnati capital, and the success of
the venture seemed assured when the Nation
al Commission tabooed it.
WOULD ORGANIZE LEAGUE.
But Fletcher is not through with base ball.
He is promoting a new league. He says sev
eral wealthy Cincinnatians have been inter
ested, one of them a millionaire. Fletcher de
clares lawyers are now drawing up contracts
which will be presented to players this Fall.
"I have just as much right to be in base ball
as Garry Herrmann or Ban Johnson," says
Fletcher. "And you bet your boots I am go

all-star proposition."

"Sporting Life." Mr. Jeff Livingstone, one

"There is no use in deUrerine an oration over a

TO FORM UNION?
Major League Players Said to Be Planning
an Organization of Their Kind on the
Lines of Regular Labor Combinations.
By Harry Neily.
Detroit,
Mich.,
September 17. Editor
"Sporting Life.©© A movement is now on
foot, which, if successful, will change_ the
conditions of organized base ball materially.
The players of the National and American
Leagues are organizing a union which will de
mand weighty concessions from the magnates.
The plan is for the players to combine after
the fashion of a trade organization for mutual
benefit. The movement to organize a players©
union has no connection with D. A. Fletcher,
the Cincinnati promoter, who threatens to or
ganize a new league. It is said the players
have decided to meet immediately after the
season closes, form a union and present de
mands to the National Commission.
THEIR DEMANDS
may be summarized as to their most import
ant features, about as follows:
A clause in contracts declaring them "free agents"
after playing in one city for a limited number Of
years.
In case of dispute between player and club owner
over the size of the player©s salary, a board of arbi
tration to pass upon the case.
Representation on National Commission, either one
man from each league or one for both.
Six months© contracts to terminate at end of
league sea_sons or compensation for 12 months, if
magnates insist on contracts running that length of
time.
Freedom to play with teams other than those in
organized base ball after American and National
League seasons are over.
As regards representation one plan has
been to elect a prominent member o-f the
White Sox as sort of walking delegate, and
another scheme is to have one man from each
league, which probably will be adopted.
ALLEGED PLAYER FEELING.
Careful inquiry among the clubs of the
American League shows surprising strength in
the union movement. The greatest) players
in the game are involved, men without whom
the pastime as played at present would^ot
prosper as it does now. The college element
is keen for the organization, and they point
to the fact that the men engaged in base
ball to-day are of vastly superior type to
those of a generation ago, when the Brother
hood had a spasmodic existence. ©©If hodcarriers and teamsters can form a union suc
cessfully, I don©t see why ball players can
not,© 1 declared a prominent player to-day.
© ©Anybody can drive team or carry a hod, but
the number of professional ball players of big
league caliber is limited, which will add great
strength to our union.©
LABOR LEADERS INTERESTED.
Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell have
been in communication with the leaders of
the movement in-an effort to get the players
to affiliate with the Federation. If this is
done the base bailers will have the support
of every labor union in the country and could
bring to bear upon the magnates a tremen
dous weight of public opinion. Whether or
not they will affiliate is one of the points to
be decided later. If the Players© Union car
ries out the innovations and demands planned
at the present time, the magnates either will
have to give in on a great many points or
close their parks. A strike in base ball would
be a unique experience. In
EVENT OF A ^RUCTION
of major league owners and players some of
the disgruntled organizations like the Ameri
can Association or Eastern League, which
have grounds and playing facilities, might
break away from the organized interests and
precipitate a great base ball war. The play
ers, and the movement includes the cream of
both major leagues, declare positively that
they will go through with their end of it, and
if they do there will be the biggest base ball
war this Winter since the formation of the
American League.
DAVE FULTZ,
former big league ball player and now an at
torney, may be the© man selected as the head
o* the players© union now in process of for
mation. He has been mentioned prominently
if a man is to be selected to represent both
leagues. In event of the players deciding
upon two men, one from the National and one
from the American, players actively engaged
will probably be the choice.

the other hand, do more at in

As an all-around fielding first baseman Dafirst receipt stub in the book was dated Sep- vis isn©t quite as spry as Chance, but as
good on thrown balls. Chance is a better base
runner and possibly a more dependable hit
ter. The writer is not one who thinks Evera
is any better than Collins in any capacity.
Collins is a better base-runner, better batter
and covers more ground. He hasn©t the repu
tation for sagacity that Evers has, but is a
heady player and a game player. Tinker will
make more spectacular plays than Barry, but
the latter is steadier and covers as much
ground. Tinker, however, is at his best in
important contests, while Barry has yet to go
through the fire. Baker is a better third base
man than Steinfeldt, not as swift a thrower,
but accurate enough. He is younger and live
lier than Steinfeldt. He plays, bounds as well
as the Chicagoan, covers more ground and is
faster and surer on balls in front of him.
Both are good pinch hitters and likely to pro
duce a long wallop at any time.
IN THE OUTFIELD
Lord isn©t as scientific a hitter as Sheckard
doesn©t cover as niuch ground and isn©t so
good a thrower. Hofman, in center, is the best
outfielder in tho game to-day, barr Cobb and
Speaker. He is a splendid thrower and his
speed and certainty on fly balls maKe him a
treasure at cutting off long hits. He is a
better all-around fielder than Oldring, but tho
latter is no slouch in any respect, and will
come nearer to the Hofman standard than
Lord will to the Sheckard standard. Schulfre
grades right up with Hofman and Sheckard, is
a faster and more finished outer picket than
Murphy, but no more dangerous with the bat.
The Chicago trio are the better base-runners.
THE PITCHERS.
©Coombs, Bender, Plank and Morgan hav»
pitched more consistently than any four twirlers the Cubs can show, and if pitching is to
tell the tale, the Athletics will take the
field well equipped. With their experience,
steadiness, physiques and "stuff on the ball,"
the Athletics© staff has done better work day
in and day out than the Cubs© staff, have)
more quantity and a shade ,more quality.
There is time enough yet, iiowever, for at
least two Cub pitchers, Brown and Reulbach,
for instance, to get into effective condition
for the games. Brown is a past master as a
strategist ajwl the series is not so long1 that
two men, ir fit for the strain, cannot do all
the work. Granting that condition is equal,
the Athletics© staff is stronger in numbers
and man for man on season©s form.
BEHIND THE BAT
the Cubs loom up considerably more promi
nently than the American Leaguers. Kling and
Archer are rated as the best pair of catchers
in the game, though as a pair they have little
on Sweeney and Criger, of the Highlanders.
Mack©s young backstop, Lapp, has come up
fast, but he has yet to prove that he has the
generalship and ability to execute that Klin?

Kling is an expert in every particular, keen,

says he deplores the fact that the World©s

he to-day: "I think it is a shame that Mur

Murphy had been willing, this matter could
have been arranged at the time the mag

there is a chance of the series being started
before October 16. If no change is made,
the American League champions will have to
rest for nearly a week before the first game

month, and I am sure that
when Mr. Brush arrives here
from Chicago in a few days he will readily
give his consent. Mr. Brush is an old base
ball campaigner, who doesn©t believe in jump
ing at conclusions. He wants to look over
the ground first, which is indicative of sound
judgment. But as soon as he gets here it will
not take long to find that New York is en
thusiastic over these proposed games."
THE WORLD©S SERIES.
Mr. Lynch further said:
"As for the
World©s Series, which will doubtless bring
the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Athletics
together, you can say the games wr ill probably
begin earlier than October 15, the© final day
of the National League schedule. The present
hitch is over the series of the St. Louis Club
in Chicago, October 9, 10. 12 and 15. No
body has the power to change those dates ex
cept the owners of the St. Louis and Chicago
Clubs by mutual agreement, and with the con
sent of the other National League Clubs. As
I understand it Mr. Robison, of St. Louis,
doesn©t see why he should change these dates,
but I think everything will be amicably ar
ranged."
SQUARE DEAL DEMANDED.
Mr. Lynch, in conclusion, said: "I have
made a suggestion that the games on October
12 and 15 be doubled up with those of Octo
ber 9 and 10 respectively, which would enable
the Chicagos to begin the World©s Series on
Tuesday, October 11. The American League
season ends on October 8 with the Athletics
in Washington. Under my suggestion the Ath
letics would spend October 9 and 10 resting
tip, which would not be hardship. But in my
opinion, a lay-off for a whole week would be
unfaijr to Mack©s players.
The ©World©s
Series will be arranged in a spirit of true
sportsmanship, rest assured, for nobody will
try to take an unfair advantage. The Ameri
can base ball public demands a fair, square
test between the Cubs and the Athletics, and
that is the way the games will be played."
UP TO THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
A vote is being taken in the National
League as to whether the league has the pow
er to move up the final games between Chi
cago and St. Louis, so that the World©s
Series can be started earlier than the 16th of
October. This is the sort of trouble that
Murphy and Ebbetts got the league into by
their i©ll-advised insistence on a foolishly ex
tended schedule last winter. The Brooklyn
Club has seen the folly of its way.» and has
moved up and played off the game set for
October 15, and will close the season two
JOHNSON RESENTFUL,
American League President and Magnates
Resent the Stubborn Adherence to the
National Schedule by Messrs. "Murphy
and Robison.
Chicago, 111., September 17. Dark clouds
are gathering on the base ball horizon. Rumbljngs can be heard on every hand which in
dicate the peacefulness of the
great national game is likely
to be terminated by a storm.
There is a small-sized contro
versy over the starting date of
the next World©s Champion
ship Series. It is rather© an
unique quarrel that is on, for
the barking comes from one
side only. The National Com
mission is trying to force
President Murphy, of the
Cubs, out of a position which
he has assumed. The Cubs©
boss says he is powerless in
Ban Jomnun
the case, as the St. Louis
Club has refused to move up the last series
of the season on the local grounds, and there
fore the World©s Series cannot be started be
fore, the day following the close of the Na
tional League schedule, which will be Sunday,
October 16.
PRESIDENT BAN JOHNSON,
of the American League, who is one of three
members of the National Commission, says
that the big series will not start on the date,
and at the place -which President Murphy is
forcing the National Commission to accept,
and says he will try his best to force the
start in Philadelphia on Monday or Tuesday,
October 17 or 18. This would place the Cubs
to a great disadvantage, as they would have
to make a long jump light after closing their
season here on Sunday night, and then would
have to play on foreign grounds for the open
ing games of the championship. It is possible
for the National Commission to order this
move, and in view of the fact that President
Murphy has had several quarrels of violent
nature with the Supreme Court of Base Ball
in times past, it is not unreasonable to look
for it. In the meantime President Murphy is
NOT MAKING ANY MOVE
which will draw the fire of the National Com
mission toward him. He says: "I am willing
for the World©s Series to start at any time or
place, but I cannot move up the closing games
of the Cubs© schedule without the consent of
the St. Louis Club, which is not forthcoming
at the present time." If the National Com
mission were to decide on some radical move
that would hurt the cause of Mr. Murphy,
which is the cause of the Cubs, the whole
National League would have reason to get
into the fray, for any obstacle placed in the
path of the National League champions would
be a slap at the National League. Meantime,
not a word has come from the Athletic
Club regarding the controversy brewing over
the opening dates.

BILLIARD NEWS,
The Retirement of a Noted Figure in Trade
Women Who Have Been Successful
in Billiards Billiards in Delaware and
New Jersey A Danger Point Reached.
By John Creahan.
Philadelphia, Pa., September 19. Editor
"Sporting Life." The house of M. Schneider, of this city, one of the oldest in this
country in the art of turning billiard balls,
has retired from business and become a thing
of the past. Since the death of its founder,
some three or four years ago, the business
was handled and managed by Mr. Schneider©s
daughter. This house was probably older©than
that of Harvey and Ford, who are still in
business here, but do not handle ivory goods;
Hoffman and Bauman, and that of John W.
Krause. I am now practically writing of
firms which existed in the 60©s and later
on. Mr. Krause has been the last to go out
of business, owing to the fact that he died
nearly twenty years ago.
The retirement from business here of
Schneider©s house is a great loss to the roomkeepers©of this city, as the work done there
in turning billiard balls was almost perfect.
There are now but two houses here where
billiard balls can be adjusted and colored
one is that of the B. B. Collender Co., the
other, whose name, I think, is Hoffman, is lo
cated on Arch street, near Third. Women in
the billiard business have, as a rule, been a

Canton, Mac-oral), Clinton and Lincoln. The Beardstowu Club, second in the race, on July 21, with a
record of 38 victories and 26 defeats for .594, dis

eastern Arkansas League, whose final record appeared
in our last.issue. The contesting teams were "Dad"
Hitter©s Canithersville team, first season winner; and

winner.
Paragould won the flrst game, 3-1, and
the fourth game. 2-1, while Canithersville won the
second and third games, 4-1 and 5-4. The deciding
?amo at Blytheville on May 11 ended in a draw,
being broken up by a riot among the spectators and
a free fight among the players. All efforts to agree
upon another place and date for the deciding game
ere fruitless, so the final game of the series was
called off by the league president, the season thus
ending with the two teams tied.
THE MINNESOTA-WISCONSIN SEASON.
The initial season of the Minnesota-Wisconsin

went through its first season without a break of any
dnd. The season began May 11 and ended Septem

a hard battle with Winona and Wausau, which
finished in the order named. The battle for fourth
place between four clubs was also close and was not
decided until near the end of the season. Rochester,

SPORTING LIFE
SEPTEMBER 24, 1910;
WILL SURELY COME BY PEACE
FUL PROCESS,
In Kansas City They Believe That
George Tebeau Will Be Able to
Create a-New Major League
Under the National Agreement,
SPECIAL TO "SPORTING LIFE."
Kansas City, Mo., September 19. There
has been considerable talk about Kansas City
entering a third major league. This city will
likely be in a third major
league in the next three years.
Mark this down and see if it
proves true..1 This will be the
result of .the efforts of George
Tebeau, present owner of the
Blues. Do not figure Tebeau
asleep.
No one has ever
walked into his territory and
taken anything away from
him. He is a shrewd business
man. For more than three
years Tebeau and his asso
ciates have been planning to
put Kansas ©City and one or
Georpo Tebeau
two other cities in the Amerlean Association into a third major league.
It is a slow process.
They cannot jump
right out from under the National Agree
ment and declare war on organized base ball.
It is too costly an undertaking. A war al
ways costs a barrel of money. The majors
want no more wars like the Brotherhood,
and will have none if they can avbid it. For
this reason Tebeau and others figure that they
will be able to get into a third major league
without war.
WILL AVOID WAR.
It is going to be possible foV this city and
one or two others which are able to support
major league clubs to take in Chicago and
one or two other cities where another club
can be supported, in a couple of years, with
out causing any war. The major leagues, and
the National Commission, which is a part of
those organizations, have feared for several
seasons that the larger American Association
and Eastern League cities would revolt and
declare themselves as big as the majors. For
this reason they will soon realize, with the
magnates in these larger cities working grad
ually up to a major league proposition, that
they cannot be kept down, and a third major
league will be formed without trouble and
will have a© member in the National Commis
sion and be the same as the other majors.
These cities, like Kansas City, are too large
to be kept in
A SMALLER LEAGUE.
Mr. Tebeau will have a new park in a short
time and the next move will be major league
base ball. lie is as anxious for it as any one.
He is a shrewd base ball magnate and a pow
er in organized ball. If Kansas City could get
into a third major league, the other majors
would not be in a position to take all the
good players from this league, and this city,
and leave only the weak ones. This would
not force the Blues to be built up each seaeon. Therefore they would stand a much bet
ter chance to have a good ball club every
year, instead of a good on« occasionally. The
Blues have played good base ball this season.
But we want more good base ball.
MAJOR CLUBS FOR SALE.
Every Fall there is a certain amount of idle
talk about a third major league. Some man,
who likes notoriety, always tries to start
something, but it never amounts to much. If
Mr. Fletcher, of Cincinnati, who has started
the talk this year, wants to be a major league
magnate, he does not have to start a new
league. New leagues are costly things, and
when it comes to sinking millions in such a
proposition the monied men alleged to be
behind the scheme generally fail to come
through. There are major league clubs for
sale. No new league is necessary for these
men to get into
MAJOR LEAGUE BALL.
The Philadelphia Nationals and Boston Na
tionals can be purchased. Some other clubs
in the majors will sell out any time and for
reasonable sums. Men located in cities large
enough to support major league teams will re
main and be in the majors. New magnates
will not steal the territory. The talk of Min
neapolis and St. Paul both being in a major
league is foolish. St. Paul does well to sup
port the team it has. Toledo and Milwaukee
will also prove too small to support major
league clubs. Columbus, Kansas City, Indian
apolis and Minneapolis are the major league
cities in the American Association and Min
neapolis does not pay any too well.
A PECULIAR FACT,
Is That No Western Champion Team Has
Ever Defeated an Eastern Team in a
Series for the World©s Championship.
New York "Press."
While almost all the experts are picking
Chance©s Celebrated Chicago Cubs as the win
ners of the series fo be played with the Ath
letics for the honors of the universe next
month, there are a few persons, close follow
ers of the National game, who insist that
Mack©s Magnificents will vanquish the Teddy
Bears. Those who are asserting that the
Shibe Parkers will capture the series do not
say the Philadelphia outfit is a better one than
the combination commanded by Frank Leroy
Chance, but they take the ground that the
Cubs will enter the series over-confident, just
«s they did in 1906 against the White Sox.
Anothe©r argument advanced by the men who
fancy the American Leaguers is this: An East
ern club, fighting a Western team for the
World©s title, never has been be*ten. There
have been three sets of games for the World©s
Championship between Eastern and Western
clubs. The record follows:
"In 1888. when the Giants, managed by Jim Mutrie
and captained by Buck EwJns, participated in ten
clashes with the St. Louis Browns, led by Charley
Comiskey. The New Torks won this series, str Kam«
to four, the Giants taWnf things easily to the last
two contests and allowing the Browns to beat them.
"In 1890 the Brooklyn National League Club and
the Ixmlsville American Association team hooked up
in the World©s Series, honors between the two being
even. The Superbas, then called the Bridegrooms, won
three battles and so did the Colonels. Tussle No. 3
was without result, and there was so little interest
manifested in the series that the tie game never was
played off.
"The next, set of battles between teams of the East
and West for base ball©s principal honors was reeled
off in 1903, with the Bostons representing the Ameri
can League and the Bast and the Pittsburg appearing
for the National League and the West. The Bostons
won five of the eight games, the Pirates taking three
out of the first four."
So if base ball tradition is to be followed,
it looks as if the Athletics will have two flag
raising days in 1911 the American League
gonfalon and the World©s Championship em
blem. Therefore the superstitious are backing
the Athletics because of the fact that an East
ern club never has been beaten in a series
for the World©s honors, and for this addition
al reason: The Cubs didn©t win the World©s
Championship the first time they fought for
it and neither did the Pirates.
ATHLETICS© FAVORED.
American League Managers Pick Them
As World©s Series Winners.
Special to "Sporting Life."
Chicago, 111., September 19. Nearly every
manager of the American League picks, the
Athletics to win the World©s Championship
Series from the Chicago Cubs. Of course,
league pride may. have something to do with
expressions of opinions. It is significant, how
ever, that Hugh Jennings stands out from his
fellow-managers as a shining example. Jen
nings likes the Cubs© chances the best. Prob
ably the Tiger leader thinks no other Ameri
can League team is able to accomplish what
.the Tigers failed to do on several occasions.
The - American League managers think the
Athletics are coming along at their best, while
the Cubs, especially the Cub twirlers, are on
the downgrade. Coombs, Morgan, Plank and
Bender are a great quartette to tie to, the
American League pilots think.
COAKLEY©S CLAIM.
Lays All His Troubles to National Board
Dilatoriness.
Special to "Sporting Life.©©
New York, September 19. Pitcher Andy
Coakley, the player now on the National Asso
ciation ineligible list, has an explanation for
his troubles which puts the blame on others.
Though he has purchased his release from the
Montreal Club, for $500, in cash and holds
an unconditional release from that club, mak
ing him a free agent, he is still rated as an
ineligible player because the slow-moving Na
tional Association has not removed an old
suspension which should have been canceled
by the payment of the money for his release.
Andy wfll have to take a trip to Auburn to
see ©Regretjfty Farrell before any action will
be take» on his case, although his claim is as
clear as crystal. Andy©s s\iit against the
. h©cago Club for $3250 is still in the Courts,
and he says that he will press it to the limit
on account of his unfair treatment by Murphy.

FIELDER JONES
Will Probably Be Chicago Leader Again
Next Year.
Special to "Sporting Life."
Chicago, 111., September 19. Fielder Jones,
who piloted the Chicago White Sox to the
World©s Championship in 1906, will be seen
in a Chicago uniform again next year. Jones
has received an offer from Owner Comiskey
which the great center fielder could hardly re
fuse. The White Sox©s poor showing this year
led Comiskey to offer Jones the enormous sal
ary of $20,000 and also 10 per cent, of the
club©s profits to become playing manager.
This, Fielder Jones figures, will net him the
round sum of $35,000. This is probably the
biggest price ever offered to a playing man
ager.

NO BATTING SLUMPS,
The American League©s Great Slugger,
Lajoie, Declares That Luck, and Luck
Alone, Gives Him Hits, or Prevents the
Ball Landing Safely.
From Cleveland "Plain Dealer."
Possibly a number of Cleveland fans are
saying this morning: "Too bad that.Larry
has struck a batting slump." Larry himself,
however, says that there is
no such thing as a batting
slump. Here are Lajoie©s own
words on the subject: ©©It©s
just the luck of the game
that©s all. Here is the way it
goes. I go up and hit the
ball. The fielder goes after it.
He just gets it. I am out.
Back to the bench for me. I
go up again. Hit the ball
hard. Same thing. I go up
again and hit the ball. That
man out in center goes crazy
Napoleon Lajoie with the heat. Runs three
miles, jumps twelve feet in
the air and catches it on his thumb. I get
that handed me for three or four days, and
the people begin to say, ©What©s the matter
with Larry? Not a hit in three days.© Now,
I am hitting that ball just as hard as ever,
but the luck of the game is against me, that©s
all. The next .day I go up and swat it and
some guy in the field runs under it too far
and I gej; around, to second and some fans
say, ©Well, Larry is getting his batting eye
back again.© Then again. The bases are
filled. I walk up to the plate. I get my eye
on the ball and paste it hard. It sails out
on a line and the infielder who goes after it
finds his arm half an inch too short. The
ball keeps on rolling and two or three runs
come in, and Larry gets credit for it all.
Great batter! Now, if that infielder had not
stood quite so close to himself and had
grown half an inch more of arm, the gide
would have been retired and everybody would
have said, ©See the old bonehead hit right
into some one©s hands.© That©s base ball for
you. It©s the luck of the game."
THE PROPER STAND.
Secretary Heydler Refuses to Give Auto
Concern Further Advertising.
Special to "Sporting Life."
New York City, September 19. Secretary
Heydler, of the National League, said to-day
that he cannot comply with the request of the
automobile people who are giving a touring
car to the champion batter to announce the
winner during the World©s Series. The man
ufacturers want the big advertisement they
would get by having the car exhibited on the
field during one of the World©s Series games,
but Mr. Heydler cannot possibly have the offi
cial records ready by that time just to please
them. They have already got much more ad
vertising out of their offer than it was worth,
especially as they resolutely declined to give
two cars, one for each league, which would
have been the proper thing. The National
Commission is now very sorry that thei offer
was accepted in the first place, and no such
proposition will ever find favor again. It
leads to too mtich record-playing.
HOBBLE SKIRT
Causes Trouble for a "Kitty" League Ball
Player,
Paducah, Ky., September 16. The hobbleskirt found its first victim in Paducah to-day;
bii,t it was riot the wearer; it was the too
frank critic of the latest fad in feminine wear
ing apparel, who suffered. Woodring, Padu
cah©s pitcher in the Kitty League, was stand
ing at the Broadway entrance to the Palmer
House when a bevy of Paducah society girls,
some of them clad a la modei, passed by. The
depressed waist line of the most fashionable
gown caught the pitcher©s eye, and he gave
vent to the expression of what he would do
to a sister of his if he caught her wearing
one of those things on the street. The re
mark reached the ear of Bob Fitzpatrick, a
friend of the young lady, and Fitzpatrick©s
fist reached the base of Woodruff©s ear quick
er than a word of warning.© That ended the
incident.

ANOTHER DISPUTE
Between President Lynch and Ebbetts on
Catcher Harry Smith.
Special to "Sporting Life.©©
Brooklyn, N. Y., September 20. President
Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn Club, is again the
centre of another base ball muddle. He re
fuses to accept Harry Smith, the former Bos
ton catcher, at the waiver price or at any
price, for that matter. The Doves recently
asked for waivers on Smith, and Manager
Dahlen refused to waive. When Smith was
finally turned over to him Dahlen decided that
he did not want him. President Lynch says
that the Brooklyn magnate must accept Smith.
For once Mr. Lynch©s ruling seems incorrectPhiladelphia did the same thing as Brooklyn
has done in the case of Harry Lumley. The
Quakers claimed Lumley, and then refused to
take him. Lumley was still the property of
the Dodgers until yesterday, when he was re
leased to the Rochester (Eaatem League)
Club.
PITTSBURG PITCHERS
Are Likely to Be Cleared Out En Masse
Before Next Season.
Special to "Sporting Life."
Pittsburg, Pa., September 19. ""We will
clean at least some of the. careless boys of the
team before the opening of next season," was
a remark made by Barney Dreyfusjs when
asked for an expression on the make-up of the
team for next year. It is now the intention
of owners of the champions to have as nearly
a new pitchers© list next season as is possi
ble. Outside of Phillippe none of the pitchers
can consider his position assured. Camnitz,
Leifield and Maddox, on whom the Pittsburgs
depended for so much, have been disappoint
ments, and it will be a matter erf surprise if
they will be retained. It was for alleged bad
influence over this trio that Yictosr Willis was
sent from Pittsburg to St. Louis, but they
have each done worse without the company ef

^©Sporting Life.© 1 George Stovall, who has
keen playing a grand gama at first base for
the Naps for the past six
weeks, will have a fight on
his hands to hold his job in
1911. Manager McGuire has
been working hard in an ef
fort to develop pitcher Elmer
Koestner into a first sacker,
and success is crowning his
efforts. Koestner has several
things in his favor, youth,
height, a good arm, ability to
field, is fast a-foot and at the
present time owns a .300 bat
ting average, making 12 hits
in 40 times at bat. McGuire

lie a classy performer at the initial sack by
the time the present season closes. Another

ED HOHNHORST,
Secured by draft Friday from the San Anto
nio (Texas League) Club. Hohnhorst is only
24 years old, stands 5 feet 11% inches and
weighs 180 pounds. He has been in profes
sional ball only three years. Starting with
[Augusta, Ga., in 1908, he batted only .206,
tut the following season, with the same team,
he hung up an average of .282. The Atlanta,
Ga., Club officials thought so well of him
that they drafted him from Augusta, but he
failed to show in the early Spring of 1910,
and was sent to San Antonio, where he per
formed in wonderful style and was recalled
"by Atlanta, only to slump in fielding and bat
ting in the Southern League a second time.
He was returned to the Texas Club, and fin
ished the season with the nice mark of .290.
Hohnhorst bats and throws left-handed. He
is said to be very active and kills off many
a runner at third and second bases after field
ing short bunts, in the copyrighted Hal Chase
etyle. If Stovall continues to play at the, clip
lie has been setting of late Koestner and
Hohnhorst will have their hands full to beat
him out of his job. In the past six weeks
Stovall has been batting well over .300, while
his fielding has been greatly improved.
,
TOO MANY LEFT-HANDERS.
It begins to look as if Charley Somers, big
toss of the Naps,© will have to send Scouts
Sam Kennedy and Bob Gilks through the
torush leagues once morei this time to search
for an outfielder who bats from the right side
of the pan. That sounds rather strange, as
heretofore the Naps have been strong on righthanded hitting outfieldeo-s and weak on the
brand that clout from the left side of the
pan. Right now, however, Manager McGuire
nas four outer gardeners for next season who
tat left-handed and but one who hits natural.
The off-sideo-s are Graney, Easterly, Jackson
and Callahan, while Birmingham is the righthander. The chances are that the regular out
field will ,be made up of Graney in the sun
patch, Jackson playing the same position with
the Naps as he did for New Orleans, while
Easterly will continue to cavort in right. Of
course it is possible Callahan will Deat out
one of the three named, but it is doubtful, as
all of them have had experience in better
leagues than the Eau Claire, Wisconsin phe»om.
OUTFIELDER BIRMINGHAM
will appear in the role of first aid to the in
jured. The chances are he will be pressed
into service quite often if opposing managers
send their southpaws against the Naps regu
larly, which they are quite likely to do with
so many off-side hitters in the. line-up. Dode
has always been strong against southpaw
pitching, and Manager McGuire believes that
his present chaser of fly balls in center field
will have no trouble garnering a .300 average
in the 1911 campaign. It will be up to Jim
to substitute Birmy for the off-side hitting
outfielder who is weakest against southpaw
pitching, whether it be Graney, Jackson, East
erly or Callahan. Should anything happen to
Birmingham n&xt saason causing an extended
absence from the game, the Naps would be
without the services of an outfielder who bats
right-handed, and if all of the left-handed bat
ting outfielders were weak
AGAINST SOUTHPAW PITCHING,
woe be unto the Naps. It is possible that the
local off-side hitting quartet will take as kind
ly to left-handed pitching next season as the
Tiger four Cobb, Crawford, Mclntyre and
.Davy Jone-8 did this season. In this event
McGuire will not have to worry. However, it
pays to be on the safe side, an* another o©utfidder who bats right-handed would be a wise
expenditure of coin. The Naps cut loose from
outfielder Otto Burns, secured from Danville,
111., in the Three-I. League, the past week,
disposing of him to Toledo, in the American
Association. He has already reported there.
Pitcher Blanding, of San Antonio, Tex., was
secured by draft. He is a big right-hander.
Pitcher Addie Joss, who has been out of the
game for several months; catcher Jay Clarke,
who has recovered from an attack of typhoid
fever; and catcher Harry Bemis, who had his
finger broken a month since., are all in condi
tion to work again, and may be used in the
big series with Cincinnati.
