NO ROOM FOR SENTIMENT
in BASEBALL OF TO-DAY
Kindly Spirit Among Players of Win
ming Teams Is conspicuousIy
Absent

Sentiment and good baseball can
not jibe. What you did yesterday on
the ball field matters nothing. It's
what you do to-day. The star who
won a flag for his team one year may
find that the next season brings a
faster and younger man to take his
place if the team is properly run.
And this spirit is carried out to the
players. There is no sentiment during
the game. The player who is hurt is
seldom given a cheering word. They
feel sorry, of course, but they haven't
time to offer regrets-this getting hurt
is all in the game.
In the recent Thinning game In
Philadelphia, when Freddie Payne
made his famous throw to second
which caught Topsy Hartsel off the
bag and saved the day, the Athletic
left fielder was heart-broken. But
little cared the Tigers. AS O'Leary
tagged him out, he didn't say: Il got
you that time, old boy" or anything
like that; my, no. Here's what he said:
sNow sneak back to the bench and
get alongside of Connie Mack; tell
him all about it, how you threw the
game away. you big bonehead. Get
under the bench with RUDE Waddell
and cry yourself to sleep. Let men
play the game"
Kindly spirit, no; but it impressed
upon HartseIs mind the fact that he
had lost the game, that his sleepiness
had brought on the turning point OF
the struggle, that If anybody was to
win 1t would be the Tigers. That
mental suggestion made him a bad
ball player the rest of the day.
When George Moriarity tossed away
a two-hit game at Cleveland for Jack
Chesbro by throwing the ball into
the bleachers on a grounder from
Crawford, did Sam say anything about
tough luck as he passed third? Nope
Sam said:
1.-THE yellow had to show, hey? I un
derstand you've thrown the game"
Moriarity was 80 blazing mad thai
during the rest of the game he could
not have thrown to first on bet with
out taking plenty of time to steady
himself.
There is no sentiment in baseball
with winning team. When there is
the fight, the dash, the fire that makes
the game what it is, is gone. Senti
ment and good baseball are like OF
and water.

FINE RECORD OF LEVER
Pittsburg "schooImaster" One Of Great
est Pitchers Of Game.

Many fans have alluded to the Pitts
burg "schoolmaster" as the lucky
pitcher. The fans may some day cease
talking about Lucky Lever" and
give the Goshen veteran credit for be-
ing what he is-one of the greatest
twirlers the game has ever known.
Look over the records, and you will
discover that it is mighty hard to find
man with record as good as that
of the former schoolmaster.
This is Levers eleventh season
with the Pittsburg baseball team. He
Joined the Buccaneers in 1898, but had
a sore arm and pitched but a single
game, which he won. He went back
to Richmond, from which team he
had been secured, and remained there
until the next spring, when he again
joined the Pirates, and has been a
Pittsburg twirler ever since. He is
the only player now with the team
who was with Pittsburg prior to the
coming of President Dreyfuss and the
consolidation of the Colonies and the
Buccaneers.
Lever has a record that cannot be
duplicated-thato of winning almost two
thirds of his games every season he
has been in the league. His average
since he joined the Pirates, up to the
beginning of the present season, is
.661, he having won 1854 games and lost
81. His record by seasons follows:

Adopt shin Guards.

1t is rather remarkable fact that
two of the toughest catchers in the
major leagues, Roger Bresnahan and
mig" Clarke, should be the first to
adopt the shin guards. Both are the
hardest sort of players and look as
if they would be able to stand whole
lot of banging. The reason for their
adoption of the protectors might be
found, however, in the fact that both
are the hardest sort of workers. They
are after everything and are always
playing fighting baseball For this
reason they are more likely to be in
jured than many of their less active
contemporaries. The only possible
objection to the guards is that the
time used in taking them off and put
ting them on sometimes delays the
game a trif1e. Otherwise they look
like sensible innovations.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
ALLITERATIVE ASSEMBIAGE
Teams Of BIS and C's Would Make
Strong Showing, While VS.
Would Also Run Strong

Any artful ALTERATION overdone is
an example of audacious effrontery,
or SO say the great literary sharks of
all time. The Greeks started it by:
framing up a maxim: Nothing to ex-
cess" The Romans made only one
exception to the rule, fighting, and
handed it on down. When the Ger
mans found it they Immediately ex-
cluded beer from the law, and passed
it on over to the Irish. who in turn
took baseball out of the list affected
by the nothing -to-excess maxim.
Therefore, anything goes in baseball,
even artful or artless alterations.
What started all this, however, was a
glance over the batting averages Of
the American association and the
noting of the fact that strong allitera-
tive teams could be selected.
There are not enough AS to form a
team, but the BIS would do with a
little judicious padding here and there.
Beckley, Brashear, Bush and Burke on
the infield would push Brown, Bate
man and Barbeau to the outheld;
Beville could catch and Brandon
pitch. Mixing the metaphors slightly,
these BIS certainly would make hay
The C's are also to the marshma1lows
Put Cook, Coulter and Congalton,
| outfielders; Carr, Carlisle, Cross and
Clark, infielders; Crisp, catcher, and
Curtis pitcher, together in the same
bottle; shake well before using, and
strong mixture will be the result.
If Mccormick, McChesney and Nc
| Carthy could get rid of the Mes, they
would strengthen the C's wonderfully.
| No DIS, Els or Fs appear numerous
enough to form teams, and there are
only four G's.
The HIS are strong, with Hughes
and Howley, catchers; Hall and Hit,
pitchers; Hopkins, Hayden and Hall
man could fill the outfield, with Har-
ley as shortstop and Hugh Hill on
first base; Hopke and Hitchman would
complete the inield. Going on down
the list again, there are six KS, five
LIS and eight Ms, counting Mes, OF
course. The only other letter in the
A. A. alphabet that sports team is
w, and it puts up great crowd.
Nobody would kick on Wood, Wilson
and West for pitchers, and Wakefield
for the backstop. Woodruff, Welday
and Wiser would work well in the
gardens, while Otto Williams, Clyde
Williams, Zeke Wrigley and Eddie
Wheeler could be shuff1ed around most
any way in the infield If anybody OBJ
jects to Wrigley under the reformed
spelling rules, one of the pitchers
would have to play second base.

NOT MUCH, MARY ANN.
Scheme to Increase Street Railway
Rates Brings Remonstrance.

What looks like scheme to wipe
out the six-for-a-quarter fare was
sprung in the city council last Mon
day night The proposition was in
effect to repeal the per cent tax
ordinance on the ground that the
street railway companies were losing
money. One street railway man was
quoted as saying:
I'VE will either have to be relieved
Of this occupation tax or we will
have to reduce wages. We are losing
money under the present arrange
ment."
That does not listen good" to the
vage-earners of Lincoln. The street
railway tracks are using property be-
longing to the city-the streets-and
they ought to pay for it. And as for
reducing wages-the employees would
have something to say about that II
they had sand enough to organize
and be ready to put up fight for
taeir rights. Up to date they have
expressed a willingness to let the
employers fix the wages and hours
with result that the hours of Lin
coin street railway men are longer
and the wages lower, than any othel
city Of equal size in the country.
1t is not believed that the street
railway companies hope to have the
occupation tax removed, but tina,
their hope is to make such a showing
on investigation that the six-for-a
quarter ordinance will be repealed
II that should happen there will be
some warm doings in the immediate
neighborhood of the councilmen who
vote for the repeal.
1t is stated that the Traction com
rany now owes the city over $25,OO(
in back occupation taxes. The Cit
liens Company has been prompt il
paying this tax.

THE PROPOSED HIGH SCHOOL

The Wageworker has been inter-
viewing the wage-earners of Lincoln
t.. some extent on the question of the
new high school and the proposed
site. 1t finds sentiment almost unan-
imous against the old circus grounds
as site for new high school build
ing, and three-fourths of those inter-
viewed are in favor of two high
schools. Lincoln ought to have two
high school buildings, one in the
northeastern part of the city and
enc west and a little south of the
present Capital school. This is the
sentiment as expressed by a majority
of the wage-earners interviewed by
The Wageworker.
1.-THE proposed high school site may
be all right as regards price and the
geographical location said a member
OF the Electrical Workers, but from
IL point of street railway facilities
it strikes me as being about the worst
that could be selected The danger
Of overflow is not worthy of considera-
ton, but wet season will always find
that site muddy long after other sec.
tons are dry
I'VE ought to have two high school
buildings" said a member of the Typo
graphical Union who has two children
iii the high school. 1.-The talk of ex
pense comes from those who are best
able to bear 1.-THE men who have
grown wealthy by the advance in rea
estate prices brought about by the
toll of such men as myself, who have
built little homes and helped to make
Lincoln a city. The present high
school is a disgrace to a city thai
makes as many pretences as Lincoln
In addition to being a disgrace it il
a positive menace to life and limb
If there is a wage-earner in the
city who favors the proposed high
school site it was impossible for The
Wageworker to locate him.
