Gossip About Teams and Players in the

Gossip About Teams and Players in tho
Thrifty Little League.
The proposition to transfer Torrey-
sons Grand Rapids misfts to Column
bus has very little to commend it. The
trouble with several teams in the In
terstate league is unsatisfactory man
agement, and Torreyson's is one OF the
number Different reasons apply to
different clubs, and in Torreyson's case
the reason is a close listed policy. This
fellow Torreyson once or twice during
his base ball career stumbled upon
sufficient number CT good players to or
ganize winning teams. That is the
foundation of his reputation as a sue
cessful manager, and foundation con-
structed of rather flimsy material. If
Torreyson were Strobel, there would
be no necessity for transferring club
from Grand Rapids. The latter is
shrewd enough to realize that every
cent spent in salaries comes back an
hundred fold in gate receipts. I'm
not in this thing for my health" is
favorite expression of the eX-Wheellng
manager So far as Columbus is con-
cerned, the city has the population, and
possibly it has the base bali patrons. 1t
will make a more compact circuit,
and cut down railroad expenses. But
Columbus would not support better
team, in stronger or at least more
pretentious organization, than are Of
fered by Frank Torreyson. The Tor
reyson team will be frost in the
Ohio capital. Does any person imagine
that the local fans would patronize
a team in a league composed of clubs
in Rellaire, Marietta and Steubenyille,
after a taste of the Interstate?
The Interstate circuit is all right.
The cities are good, and would support
good clubs. As before stated, the fault
is not in the cities. What the league
needs is more Strobels, none of the New
Castle and Youngstown spirit. When
every base bali enthusiast has his ham
mer at work On his home club, it might
be well for the members of the Board
of Managers to investigate themselves.

body, when the knockers" are the
rule, and, the boosters" the exception,
it is time to stop referring to the base
ball public as ungrateful and unappre-
ciative. Armour, of Dayton, appears
to be tainted with Torreysonism, and
threatens to take his club to Spring
field-the same Springfield that would
not support a winning club last year.
After all. it is doubtful if Torreyson
and Armour really expected to transfer
their clubs. Threats are not unusual
with them when they find it necessary
to coerce the fans" into patronizing
bum ball.
