PRESIDENT MORTON
EXPECTS A CLOSE
FINISH IN O. & P.

President Charles Morton who wit
messed Sundays contest between Ak
ron and Canton was about the most
interested spectator on the grounds.
During the entire game Charlie kept
his eye on the work of his umpires.
To representative of the News he
stated that in all his experience in
baseball he had never met with more
real enthusiasm than he found this
year in the o. & p. league towns.
I'VE will have fine circuit as soon
as the Erie proposition is untangled
and l believe that the fight for the
pennant will be as close as it was last
season when it took the last game of
the season to decide the championship
and make winner of Youngstown.

AKRON TIMES CON-
MENTS REGARDING
SUNDAYS GAME

and a kick at the proper time. The
umpire runs the game and he is not
going to let any manager run it for
him.
But "Soxie" Lyons is to be criti-
cized for his work. There were a
number of decisions of his that can
be questioned. There are in every
game any umpire ever worked in, but
why Lyons should change a decision
once made by Smink is hard to see.
The interference referred to, where
in Wahoo is alleged to have been de-
layed in the tenth inning may have
been right.
If Lyons saw this interference he
was justified and right in giving the
man a base, hut he should treat both
side salike. In the eighth inning
Broderick was going to first base
when Myers deliberately ran into him
and knocked him clear out of the
base line. almost onto the ground.
Broderick didn't even get TO first.
When this play was made Lyons
was not ten feet from Broderick and
first base. He saw the whole thing,
couldn't help it. He called Brodericll
out Broderick protested but Lyons
refused to listen to him. Schwartz,
captain of the team. also protested.
Lyons turned deaf ear to him.

Inc spoIJluB eulJOT OF Jn6 AhTOn
Times commented as follows regard
ing Sundays contest in Mondays is
sues of that live baseball paper:
Such games af baseball as was
played at Canton yesterday was one
of the greatest boosts for the national
game that can be given. Up to the
time the contention arose, the game
was a beauty. Every player on the
two squads was putting forth every
effort and was straining every muscle
Such umpiring as was handed out
by "SoXie' Lyons is a hard knock
to the sport and a knock that will
hurt the game. 1t not only makes
the players sore but 1t makes the
fans sore. 1t causes contention and
dissatisfaction all around. 1t causes
howl from all who think they have
been injured.
Such exhibitions of rattle headed
ness as shown by Manager Jack
Breckenridge at Canton yesterday
look like boys play. Just such ac-
tions as that will lose Akron more
than one game this season if Brecken-
ridge does not come to. his senses
at an early date. Actions of that
kind will not be tolerated in the
o. and P. league.
Fifty per cent of the fans will say
that I am knocking. This article is
not meant for knock. 1t is giving
the facts that are the true facts. I
am handing you the dope, fans, Just
as I saw it from the grand stand at
Canton. The Times has boosted the
| Akron club to the skies and has Civ
en- Jack Breckenridge the best of
support.
Breckenridge refuses to play Sun
day ball. He would not get into a
uniform yesterday but at the same
time he was on the bench. He was
ordered off the field by a policeman.
| Would it have been any worse for
him to get into uniform on Sun
day than it was to sit on the bench
and later make a display Of himself?
In the ninth inning he ran onto
the field and started to protest about
| the crowd. Any school boy would
know that he had no more right out
there talking to the umpire than had
fan from the stands. Umpire Smink
did exactly right when he ordered
him to the bench and later called a
policeman. to escort him.
It was a FOOLS play when Brecken-
| ridge ordered his men not to strike
at the ball until the crowd got back.
| The umpire called play ball" and all
Breck's talk went to the winds. But
at the same time he would not allow
his men to get in and take a last
! chance to win the game. He allow
| ed two men to be called out on
strikes without even hitting at the
ball.
1t can be said right here that the
crowd at Canton yesterday was one
of the most orderly that ever attend
ed a ball game. The crowd was not
hindering Akron; it was 25 feet from
the third base line. 1t did stop Can
ton men twice from catching fly balls.
Breckenridge lost his head along this
line. He made his men stand see
their chances to win slip away.
It's we'll to fight for every game
and every point. The fighting spirit
is what is wanted and is a quality
in Breckenridge that few managers
in the league have. But it is also
we'll to use your head once in a while

cooperation of the British government
at Fourth of July banquet speech In

American Republioaas Lead the WAY
So 1t has come to pass that the Unit
ed States under its Republican admin
istration, has finally succeeded in en-
tering into a convention with Great
Britain whereby after the LIST Of Octo-
ber this year. two-cent postage rate
will obtain between this country and
England. Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
We already have such an arrangement
with Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Panama
and our colonial possessions This great
accomplishment is universally recog.
nized as the proper beginning which is
to result in a universal two-cent postage
rate around the world.
Important Thfngs Accom- plisheA.
Two other important things that the
Republican administration accomplish

gress through its representatives., must
not be lost sight of. One was the adop-
tion of universal return coupon

presentation at postoffice In another
country. the person presenting 1t shall
receive postage stamp Of the value Of
cents, good in any country of the
world, thus enabling people here to
prepay postage at regular rates upon
reply letters.
