The Tho players with more money coming to them than ever ver has hag boon ben given iven to players wanted more and In their greed they thoy demanded a a. share of the four largest games Their attitude was unreasonable and dangerous and was tho the result of the tho wrong decision of ot the national commission commission commission commis commis- sion of or the first series between Chicago Chicagoan an and Detroit when they decided that Incase Incase in incase case of or a tie the players should have their share The They made the decision hastily and after thinking thinking- it over oer saw the peril of It realizing how easy it would be bo to leave an any close game tied and und thc they decided or rather their leagues did that the players payers should cut In only on four games regardless ss of oC ties tics Players Player n Gre Greedy th What their motives were makes no difference It was dangerous Then the question was raised and the thel commission commission com com- mission after hearing Mathewson's argument argument ar ar- ar- ar decided decided- that it had not power po to decide although it has decided twice and threw the problem to the two leagues Much as it might please us to see the players get tet the coin their at attitude attitude at at- Is ridiculous and their grasping for or money does not help the tho game Jame The Tho umpiring In the worlds world's series was vas the best I ever saw There Thero was not nota a serious mistake and not ono one decision was seriously questioned Boston had one ono chance to kick when a runner slid the ball boll out of or Herzog's hands after be brine br- br ing ine tagged out but he was so 80 palpably out It was foolish Coolish to question it On balls and strikes the work of the tho umpires umpires um urn- pires was almost perfect I did not question five balls bO and strikes during the entire series and these were close Tho The umpiring w was a n. triumph and one of the features of ot the tho contest |
