UTAH - I CHRISTY MATHEWSON SAID TO BE I SLAfED AS CHIEF OF NEW UNION f' I ' I feiffial M l m& I f i "'WM" v: mmMlmm''aM $ iZA B Organization of another brotherhood or "union" has been started among the major league baseball players, it has been learned In some quarters. Quiet movements have Been made among the players all season, but the organization has not been completed - and its complete plans will not be an nounced until near the end of the season, or until winter. Efforts have been made, or 'will be made, to get Christy Mathewsnn, former Giant star pitcher, who now Is recovering from tuberculosis at Saranac lake, to act as the president of the organization, either In an ac-tive or honorary capacity. Desire Member on Board. The organization will attempt to get a representative of the players on the national advisory boaru, which con-- I eists of Commissioner Landis, John I i A. Heydler, president ot the National I league, and Ban Johnson, president of I the American league. I The players take the position that they are entitled to have a voice in Ii the sessions when rules and tions which affect their end of the game are considered. At various times since the old play-ers' fraternity ceased to function, the players have been considering the formation of another organization. The demand for such a protective body was felt to have buen acute last winter when "Babe" Ruth, Bob Meusel and Bill IMercy were suspended for violating the rule. Think Rule Is Unjust The players took the position that the rule was unjust to them and that practically all of the rules along the same line were drawn from the club owners' viewpoint alont. Efforts also will be made. It Is un-derstood, to have a different form of contract adopted In the major leagues. The players maintain that under the present system they haven't a chance to have a voice in their own affairs and have no appeal from a form of virtual "slavery" that the present form of contract places them In. The players also would like to have some kind of an arbitration board for the review of salary disputes. ff j f LOV PRICES FOR STARS Extravagance U not a fault of the Cardinal management. It let the New York and other ag-gregations pay the price. The club paid In 1015 Just $500 for Rogers Hornsby. It has been offered approximately a' quarter of a million for him since. It paid $300 for Bill Doafe. If McGraw gave $100,000 for Mc- Quillan, what would he pay for DoakT The Cards paid nothing for Alnsmlth or Del Gainer. Four-nl- er cost but a couple of thou-sand dollars. Discarded players brought y, Smith, Mueller, Haines, Pertica, Sherdel and Flack to the club. The treasury didn't suffer one kopek. This should prove that money cannot always obtain the best results In baseball.

"Gentlemen of the Guard." - The original function of the house-hold cavalry was to protect the king's person, and Charles II saw to It that his life guards were recruited from old Cavalier families.

Fast Runner on Third and Fielder With Poor Throwlnfl Arm Save New Yorker From High Rating In the List of "Bones." Dave Bancroft, brilliant shortstop of the Giants, Is rated as a smart player, Hughey Jennings, now acting as as-sistant to John McGraw in directing the Giants, says that Bancroft Is the brains of the New York club. Only recently In a game In the Na-tional league, Bancroft pulled a play that might have given him high rating in the list of "bones," had not the umpire come to his rescue. With a runner on third bnse, Ban-croft lifted a fly ball to the outfield. It was a hard-hi- t ball and the fielder was compelled to go deep to make the play. It so happened that the runner on third was a very fast man, also that the fielder making the patch had a I'w! ; - jiff . Dave Bancroft. rather poor thror.ing arm. These two things tended to save the day for Ban-croft. ' The runner on third' held his base until the fly ball was caught The moment It struck the hands of the fielder he daA-'- for the plate. The fielder with the weak arm realizing that be was too deep to have any chance of cutting the runner down at the plate, returned the ball leisure-ly to the Infield. Bancroft, playing proper baseball, had run out his hit to the limit and was between first and second when the relay came back into the Infield. Banny couldn't resist the temptation to field the ball and toss It to some other player of the team In the field. The team In the field contended that In fielding the ball, Bancroft had killed a chance for a play at the plate, and for such Interference the runner who had scored should be declared out. The umpire at the plate, however, rul?d that the nm hvA crn!i the plate before Bancroft even touched the ball, and that the act of the New York shortstop In no way prevented a play, since there was no play pos-sible. It was a close call for the brainy Bancroft. NOTHING WORSE l PROSPECT, i Traveler Satisfied He Had Got Over the Most Uncomfortable Part of . , His Journey. ' W. S. InglU, the well-know- n coal op erntor, told a railroad story at a rafl road men's bunquet In Scranton. "There used tob? a little line," ha j snid, "a brancL Una about 12 mile long, that was notorious for Its bumpa,-- ' general discomfort and dirt. "A train on this line pulled Into ' town one morning, late half an hour,' as ( usuul, and a man said as he rose i and brushed himself off: . f ' "'Well, thank goodness, the worst J part of my Journey Is over.' J "'Coin' far?' said another man. f 4 "'Ilong Kong, China,' said the first chap." I I AT LEAST GUILTY OF LYING Truly Clergyman Had Refrained From Blasphemy, but He Had Sinned In Another Direction, A clergyman who yenrs ago settled in Massachusetts once reproved a workman for swearing while he was plowing a new field. "Swear I" said the num. "I guess you'd sweur!" Whereupon the preacher took the plow and hurried after It, Indignantly denying the charge. Then, as the field became more impassable, he be-gan panting: "I never saw the like! I never saw the like I" When he had gone once round the field lie stopped, breathless, and added: "There, you see I didn't find It neces-sary to swear." "No," said the other, "but you've told more'n 50 lies. You said you never did see the like, and you saw It all the time I was plowln'." COULD DO WITHOUT UNIFORM Youthful Fijian Proved Anew That Necessity is the Fertile Mother of Invention. A traveler from Fiji In the old days reports that at times In the past when the game was first introduced there the l'MJImis used to get waves of cricket madness, mid In some out-lying villages where It was not so readily quelled by law a tnntch would bo kept up for weeks, on end. In-cidentally, they wore their pads strapped on their naked, bootless legs with a very ludicrous effect. But evi-dently the FlJIans have no sense of the ludicrous, for our traveler further reports :' "Another distinguishing mark that rather amused me once WU.S when my house boy, Esau, came in one day with his hair cut away from one side of his head, looking like a somewhat weird 'part-ing,' for the remainder stood up as usual like a bass broom with bristles five inches long. I asked him what on earth he bad been doing and he re-plied: 'Sir, I am now a member of the Lomaloma "A" team, and we have agreed to cut our hair like this, as the store cannot get 11 sashes all the same color.' "London Tit-Bit- Waited Long tor Fortune. 1 ' J He might have been rich fifteen yenrs ago, but a Belgian who-- pur-- j chased a bond In 1903 hadn't applied for the list of numbers drawn n state lotteries In 1007. A poor man from the country happening to be i In Antwerp for the first time for, many years, entered the offices of tba J Calsse Communale to see if the bond , which he had taken but In the loan of 1003 had won a prize In the yearly, 1 lottery. He thought that perhaps he f had won 110 francs , In . this year's draw. After waiting Impatiently while the cashier searched the records he was Informed that his number had ( been drawn In 1907, and that he waa : entitled to a bonus of 200,000 franca ($40,000 at normal eichanjje" rates). EXPENDITURES INCREASE - Terhaps In no other sport Is there as much expense as In the running of a ball team, and the cost has Increased greatly since the early days of the game. There la an authentic record of receipts and expenditures of the Boston club for the year 1875. The total receipts for the season were $37,767.08 and the expenses were $34,505.99. which left a bal-ance of $3,201.07. A profitable season In those times. Now, fig-ure HcGraw's team as an ex-ample. Two players cost him $175,000 without figuring any-thing else. Babe Ruth's salary alone Is probably twice the amount of the total receipts of the Boston team back In 1875, and there were good ball play-er- a la those days, too. f O Beginning Early. A city troop of girl scouts was In-creasing Its treasury by holding a candy sale In the downtown district. A ragged little newsboy approached one of the uniformed girls and asked for a dime's worth of chocolate fudge. Be laid down 15 cents, took the candy and started out. "I thought you Just wanted a dime's worth," snid the little scout. "I did; that's your tip," answered the youngster, as he darted News. Sport Costume. "Kin I git In this poker game!" In-quired Three-Fingere- d Sam. "If you'll send East an' git yerself a bathln suit," answered Cactus Joe, "mebhe we'll let you sit in." "What's the idea of the bethln' suit!" "It ain't got no pockets ner sleeves to tempt a man to hide out aces." 1 Imagination. Tommy, age four, went with his sis-- 1 ter, early In the spring, to pick violet I In the woods near his home. One day, a few weeks Inter, he and his mother , accompanied some friends on an auto. ' mobile ride. As the car passed along a road bordered with locust trees In full ' bloom, Tommy said: "Mother, I see violets growln' on trees." Not to Be Cheated. Grandfather and Betty were pay-ing a visit to the strawberry patch. He picked some small, luscious berries and fed them to the little girl. For himself he found much larger ones. Betty watched Jilm for a few mo-ments, and then said, gravely : "Grand-father, I can eat the large ones, too." Parcel Pott In New York. More than C00.000 packages leave New York by parcel post every day. One large clothing manufacturing concern alone sends out as many as 30,000 a day, while a Mg department store malls from 1,000 to 2,000 or more. HOW BATTING KING OF NATIONAL LEAGUE HITS "vT v 1 - f ' ' . If" j'liWWliiliWir" .i'lim-if"- ' The photograph shows a rloseup of i Roger Hornsby's hands, showing how he grasps his bat. Hornsby, star sec ond baseman of the St. Iuls Cardi-nals, led the National league In bat-- , ting last year with an average of .370. t He is out to repeat this season and to better his last year's mark. Baseball Notes It Is obvious that many pitchers never have woven any tangled web. Amos Strunk's work In center field is highly pleasing to the Chicago fans. If those reports are true Shufflln' Phil Douglas has shuffled himself Into the discard. The Portland haseball club has pur-chased ritchers Sullivan and Yarrlson from the Philadelphia Athletics. The Giants have a new pitcher named Blume. Will Blume blossom or be Just a morning glory Every now and then the Braves up and win a game, just to show that baseball is Impossible to dope. Foster Ganzel, former Boston play-er, now with Evanston, will probably be signed by the Cleveland Indians. While with Cincinnati, Slim Sallee pitched 65 balls In a nine Inning game against Brooklyn, September 21, 1919. The St. Louis Nationals announce the purchase of Ray Blades, second baseman, from Houston, of the Texas league. During an American league game against Milwaukee, May 7, 1901, each of the nine Detroit olayers scored one run. If the baseball' players organize a union, the first thing they may be ex-pected to do is to declare the umpires to be unfair. The Cleveland American league club has purchased Pitcher Winn from the JS'ashvllle (Tenn.) Southern asso-ciation team. Roy Thomas, formerly of the St. Louis National league team, succeed-ed George Whlteman as manager of the Houston club. George Abrama, alar pitcher of the Enid (Okla.) club of the Western as-sociation, has been bought by the Cin-cinnati Nationals.

HELPS WIN BASEBALL GAMES Nothing More Conducive to Success of Local Team Than Hearty Sup-port of Fans. fter all, one of the thlng which helps a team win Is the support of the home folk. It's so In ull kinds of sports, particularly baseball. With the fans full of pop, cheering the nthle'es en. It Is easier to respond. Willi the fans giving the razz. It Is easier for the players to drop Into a slomp. Many tu'bnll games have been v on by the funs well as the players. |
