REPORTED THAT PHILLIES ARE TO
QUIT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE
Directors Are Tired of Losing Money in Big
Chunks
ChunkS.

Is the Philadelphia National League
baseball club to quit?
They say so in Philadelphia, and
give as a reason the loss of between
100000 and $4,000 I'm the last two
years. 1t is expected that at the next
meeting of the club stockholders reso-
lutions will be passed offering the fran
chise and good will at auction to the
highest bidder.
There was a meeting of the officers
and stockholders yesterday.
1t was attended by President James
Potter, Treasurer ]. E. r. Roberts,
Charles E. Ingersoll, e. Hynemann,
George H. Frazier, A. E. Newbold and
Z. NJ. Robinson.
The presidents report was read,
which showed q heavy financial loss
this season. After it was accepted an
informal discussion was held as to
the future of the club. President Pot
ter said later:
There is nothing new in the situa-
ton. We shall finish the season and
all debts will be paid, but after that It
will be for the stockholders to deter
mine whether they wish to continue
or not. Owing to the poor attendance
this afternoon we were unable to Sc
cure the sentiment of the stockhold-
ers. 1 shall continue in charge of the
club until some action, If any Is

PREPARING TO ORGANIZE
LEAGUE IN SOUTH GEORGIA,

Waycross, Ga, Oct. s.-A meeting
will shortly be called here for the
organization of baseball league com
posed of six or eight of the South Geor-
gia cities. The project was discussed
by baseball enthusiasts during the
summer season, and there was suff1-
cient encouragement to believe that it
will be successfully carried through
Several cities have already expressed
their desire to join the league, and it
is likely that Waycross, Brunswick,
Fitzgerald, Cordele, Americas, Albany
and Columbus will be included. Should
these cities show sufficient interest in
the plan. Some of the North Florida
towns also want to form a league COM
posed of Waycross, Valdosta, Bruins
wick, cambridge, Live Oak, Lake City,
Madison and Quincy. The latter Flor
ida city have already raised $1,000 for
their team.

taken, and afterward I shall be at the
disposal of the many friends 1 have
interested in the organization"
President Harry Pulliam of the Ma
tional League, who was present at the
meeting. said:
II was invited to attend this after
moons meeting, so as to be in a posi-
ton to report directly to the National
League any action that might have
been taken.
lowing to the small number of
stockholders present at to-day's meet
ing nothing definite was decided upon
The club will continue to play out it's
championship series, and after that it
lies with those interested whether they
continue or not. The present owners
of the Philadelphia baseball club pur-
chased the good will and franchise
from Col John I. Rogers and A. J.
Reach. Since that time they have
been overtaken by a series of misfor-
tunes. During the first year the club
lost about $685. 900, in addition to which
the disastrous calamity which occurred
the latter part of last year at the ball
park placed the club in severe finan-
cial straits.
"The club did not seem to make any
Roadway this season, although we pur-
chased several good players, and the
balance sheet shows a financial loss
of nearly $4,000"
The Americans IN Philadelphia have
made money. The Nationals have lost
it.

FULLBACK SHEVLIN
HAS NEW TRICK.

Tom Shevlin. Yale's fullback, has
sprang a new trick that has taken his
team by storm. It was both success
full and humorous. II is the proposition
of gaining ground by main strength
and by the seat of the big fullback's
pants. The ball goes back to the half
back. A tackle leaps to one side, as
does the other half. Shevlin in the
meanwhile gets in front. To his trous-
ers there is stitched a white canvas
strap, to which the man carrying the
ball clings to prevent separation from
his ally, and together the four make
what ground they can. Long gains
were won i'm this way till Shevlin gave
up from lack of wind.
Another new practice stunt was tried
when Shevlin and the varsity back
snapped over to the college team, and
the college backs to the varsity. The
college men did great work and took
the ball to the 'varsity's five-yard line.
If this stunt doesn't buck some of
the Hoyle of the game, there should be
a lot of streamers tackled on to many
of the big college teams within a week
or so.

"SPIT" BALL SURE TO
REV0LUTI0NIZE GAME.
All Big League Pitchers Arc Now
Using 1t.

All Big League Pitchers Arc Now
Using 1t.
The spit" ball is bound to revolu-
tionize baseball fully as much as the
curve did twenty years ago. This ball,
said to be discovered by Stricklett
while playing with the California
League last season, has made double
score games out of the question. Jack
Chesbro of the New York Highlanders
has worked it to the best advantage
for his club for over three months.
Chesbro was wise enough to tell the
players it was giving him a sore arm,
but now the pitchers have discovered
that 1t is simply a medium paced
straight ball, and is less likely to lame
the arm than curve pitching.
The batsmen of the American League
say that it is utterly impossible to hit
the ball square, as it breaks in so
many different ways just as it reaches
the plate. The ball is sent about
waist high and usually shoots or drops.
Chesbro and Powell are using 1t con-
stantly with Griffith's team. Mullen Of
Detroit has now mastered it, while
Gibson of the Boston Americans has
used it for some time without his OPP
ponents being wise to the fact. BILLY"
D1neen has also mastered the new IN
vention, and DR.. White of Chicago, and
other clever pitchers are fast getting
control of it. BY the time next season
opens every irst-class pitcher in the
business will be throwing spit balls
to the batsmen. The players claim that
it will ruin the batting, and unless the
foul strike rule is eliminated runs will
be very scarce next season.
Chesbro pitched two hard games in
Cleveland and then went direct to De-
troit and pitched an eleven-inning
game, showing that there was no strain
on the arm. The ball is pitched with
the first two fingers held stiff after
they have been moistened on the lips.
Lew Criger says that the constant
shooting of the ball bangs catcher's
hands all up, and when throwing to
bases the catcher is likely to make a
wild throw as the result of the slip
perry spot on the ball.
The idea is to keep the nit in front
of the face while going through the
preliminary motion. Now and then the
pitcher will pitch a fast one or a curve,
but five out of six throws by Chesbro
are the spit" balls, and all the Jobs
the other clubs put up to doctor the
ball so that their batsmen can kill the
effect have not disturbed the great
New York's pitchers faith in the new
discovery.

ARRANGEMENTS NOW BEING MADE
FOR INTERESTING MEET.
WILL TAKE PLACE SOME
TIME IN DECEMBER.
MANY NORTHERN HORSEMEN WILL
BE HERE FOR WINTER.

1t il Expected That Even More
Horses VIII be Here This Winter
Than Were Here Last Winter,
When Such n Splendid Ten-Day
Meeting Was Pulled Of-TracIz
Has Attracted Attention all Over
the COuntry-Meeting This FAN
Will Probably Last Fifteen Days.
Arrangements are being made here
now for fifteen-day running race
meeting to be held some time in De-
cember, and Manager Joseph Doyle of
the Savannah Racing Association an
ticipate one of the most successful
meetings yet pulled off in Savannah.
Mr.. Doyle has received large num-
Der of letters recently from horsemen
all over the country who are anxious
to come here during the winter on
their way to New Orleans, and as it is
much cheaper for them to stop over
here, and there is the added advantage
of a chance to make their expenses, it
is anticipated that between two and
three hundred high class horses will
he in winter quarters here.
Mr.. Doyle recently had a proposition
from st. Louis horseman. who said
he could bring 400 horses to Savannah
to a fifteen-day meeting, with purses
aggregating $500 a day. If this can be
done the meeting is assured
Savannah lovers of the sport Of kings
remember with much pleasure the
magnificent ten-days' meeting here last
November, when sport just as good as
that seen at the Eastern tracks was
presented. Never before was such in
terest manifested in racing here, and
Mr.. Doyle believes that with racing of
the same class this year there will be
even more interest.
Can Save Much Expense
The meeting last November was a
good deal more expensive than 1t is
gregate amount of purses each day
was $3.50. In addition to this high
salaried officials were employed. and
transportation for many of the horses
was paid. which made the daily ex-
penses about $1,000. Of this amount
$500 per day was realized from the
booking privilege, and the gate re-
ceipts was depended on for the re-
mainder.
1t is figured that this year the ex-
penses can be cut down to about $500
a day, and with a larger number of
horses present, the booking and other
privileges will make the meeting a
paying one. Mr.. Doyle hopes to have
matters in definite shape by the end
of this week, when 1t can be announced
positively whether or not the meeting
will take place.
