Umpire McDermott says that the man

an even break every time. He also says
he makes ii a point never to even up a
wrong decision; that a mistake will right
trouble with McDermott is that. in his
anxiety to give the visitors a fair show,
he overdoes the matter and the home team
suhers-at least that is the experience here.
Manager Watkins is accused by the Kan
sas City Star Of complaining continually
when away from home of wretched umpir-
ing. This Is not true, and is unjust to the
planned, but taken his medicine like a man.

and Hoagland in Detroit. 1t is true he in
would not be allowed to umpire here. but
that Is to his credit. as Hoagland Is known
TO be a rank home umpire. while McDer-

The Terre Haute team was badly treated
at Detroit on the Fourth by the cranks of
that city. who deluged the visiting play
small. and kept the Terriers busy dodS-
ing explosives during both games. That the
visitors escaped serious injury is remark

apolis when the League and Associa-
ton were ~amalgamated expires, which will
be in ten years. The people back OF the
Louisville club are not in the game for a
speculation, but are in II from a sports
mans standpoint. The club is one OF the
few that owns its own property. As far
as financial standing or ability TO carry
out obligations Is concerned. the Louisville
club viii stand comparison with any in the
League. All this hue and cry about the
$4,000 we borrowed last year is bosh. The
club did not make any money last year,
and 1t borrowed IL from the League like
II would have done from a bank. II was
simply a business transaction. All but 81. 900
has becn paid. and when that amount falls
due IT. Will be paid. Thus far this season
the Louisville club has paid out $500 TO
strengthen, which is a larger sum than any
other club In the League has paid out.
There are also other deals on now 10
strengthen the club. III we had any idea OF
selling out we could accept an offer which
we have right now. We have been offered
1900 for four of our players: s5.cc0 for two
men. $1,000 for another. and Sl,0O0 for an
other, These offers were made this week.
We refused them, replying that we did
not want to sell: hat we wanted TO buy.
