A RESULT OF
PLENTY OF BALL
Baseball Deals Are Hard
TO COnSummate These
Days

Baseball has reached such period OF
popularity in tho opinion Of President
Charles w. Murphy, Of the Chicago Ma
tionals, that no major league club will
ever again dare to dispose of "a star play
or for q cash consideration. II is doubt
ful II uhe patrons OF tho game would re-
main silent IL q magnate should trade "a
star Tor one or more players, unless the
bargain was SO one-sided that every fan
would see a big advantage 20 be gained
by his club.
On this point Mr.. Murphy says: 1T has
been getting harder and harder for years
to trade for star players Last season
every club in the National League made
money. Some did not make as much as the
Standard OIL Company, but there was
a balance on the right side Of the ledger.
Unless Manager Chance changes his press
ont plans our players will don their uni-
forms at the hotel where tho team stays
while on the road, as we have done IN
the past The resolution recently adopted
by tho National League simply makes II
mandatory that each club furnish a club
house for visiting teams. We expect to
comply with this and win spare no ex-
pense in doing So"

NEVER HEARD OF
"ARLIE" LATHAM
Once Famous Ball Player
Finds That Greatness is
ShOrtIiVed

A little more than a decade ago
"Arlie" Latham was as conspicuous a
figure In baseball as Hans Wagner or
"Rube" Waddell is today. Recently
Latham approached an officer of one
of the teams of the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania League and introduced himself
You are in need Of a manager.
Latham said "and I believe / am the
right man for the place."
The baseball owner loked Latham
over and replied: Il have never heard
of YOU. Where have you played and
what Is your record2'
Never heard Of me?" quickly return
cd Latham, who was amused by the
other. "Why, I once managed the Cha
grin Hollow team, which won the
championship Of the Pennyroyal Lea
que in 1904. But I don't believe now
that I want to work for you.'
Later the club owner went about the
town telling his friends how he had
scared Off a crossroads baseball man
who wanted TO manage his team.
Yesterday Latham applied for place
on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Leagues
umpire staff. He promises TO get even
with the owner who didn't know him.

SHOULD NUMBER
THE BALL PLAYERS
Spectators Would Then Know
Who is Who on the
Field

Tho rules committees Of the two major
leagues ought to take into consideration
the plan proposed Of numbering the play
ers. There Is nothing particularly new
in this suggestion. Such an idea was
broachcd years ago. Clubs carry so many
players nowadays that it is a difficult
matter to ten who is IN the field and who
is not Often in fact altogether too
often. change is made in the batting
order from that printed on the score
cards, and the patron is kept in ignorance
for an entire game that some other player
than the one placarded has been In the
game. il this IS permitted at all, IL should
be done by all of tho clubs, not by one
or two.
Again, every club ought 10 have posted
on its ground the names Of the batteries
and the umpire, and on this board changes
made during the game should be chron-
icied. It often happens that a patron OF
the game is unable TO be on hand at the
beginning Of the contest, and he can
thereby sec at a glance the batteries that
arc IN the game.
Another great advantage would be to
give the umpire rest. That unfortunate
would no longer be burdened with the linz
possible task OF attempting to make sew
eral thousand people hear what he is try
ing 10 say Very seldom indeed is It that
the untutorod ear can gather what the
umpire IS trying to say. As a rule, these
gentlemen are utterly unable to make
themselves ineligible, and they might as
well give up the attempt entirely.
