a thorough look at him.
This Dawson did and, perceiving at a
glance good points about him which no
one else apparently had noticed, bought
him for Merry, his patron. Strange
enough, Dawson gave the same figure for
Thormanby as that paid for Voltigeur.
AS two-year-old Thormanby ran four
teen times. and out of this number scored
nine wins. and in the Derby of the fol
lowing year he beat field of thirty. 1t
was said that the race netted Merry the
nice sum of 100000.
The cheapest horse that ever won the
Derby was Little Wonder, which was sue
cessful in 1910, for he only cost his
owner. Robertson, the meager sum OF

MANNING, EXPLODED
PHENOM OF SEASON

Has Walter Manning. the youthful
pitching phenom of the New York Amer
youngster?
Manning was secured from William
sport, Pa, of the Tri-State League and
made most impressive debut big
Lacquer. He won the first five games he
worked, and critics hailed him as a Sec
ond Mathewson. Since then his work
has only been fair, having suffered defeat
nearly every time out. According to many
of the best batters, Manning's early sue
cess was due more to his peculiar deliv-
cry than to puzzling curves. They claim
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-23

The game has advanced beyond the ex-
perimenting.. Why not keep up with the
game? 1t would not cost the two major
leagues a whole lot to select four good
efficient base ball men to act as official
scorers and have them assigned the same
as the umpires. Make out schedule for
them and have them travel from city TO
city. 1t would not be necessary to have
them leave any particular city when a
team has finished series; they could re-
main there until a complete series were
completed. That would cut down the
railroad fare. which would mean a whole
lot.
This argument may seem like knock
at some scorers. but it is not intended as
SUCH There are many good scorers

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-23

one expect to find an accurate account OF
a game from such a source?
The present-day style Of base ball is
considerably harder to score than when
such noted writer's as Morse, Crane
Foster. Murnane. Gruber, Richter, Elan
ner and other old-time writer's started in
to score the games. gin those days keep
did not have the squeeze play, bunt, sac
rifice hit, hit and run and all the late
ideas now practiced.
The game is too far advanced for some
and the present system will send many
to the bug show if new plays come as
fast as they have in the last two years.
What must be done and done soon is
for the two major leagues to pass a rule
to put scoring on the same basis as UNI
piring: This may seem like asking a
whole lot from the magnates, but it will
come eventually.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-23

Why? Simply to keep on the good side
OF such and such a paper. The selecting
of official scorers from the ranks OF
sporting editors has caused much endless
jealousy from others, older men in the
business. The idea Of dividing the work
among several writer's to keep peace IN
the family is bad. 1t will always be SO
until the moguls in the two major leagues
adopt the travelling scorers. When this
is done. it will stop all future arguments
about how a hit was made. 1t will also
stop one of the greatest evils in base ball.
favoritism. 1t is a certainty that scorers
in different cities that have the honor OF
having a player on their team who is
likely to lead the league in batting are
not going to give that particular player
the worst end of the deal. This argument
of course, is an old one. but 1t VIII al
ways live until the present scoring sys-
tenn Is changed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-08-23

Should the major league select the men
to travel the same as do the umpires.
they could all meet in New York and
Chicago before the season opens and
argue out all plays and how to score
them. Is man to be credited with a
sacrifice when he Intentionally bunts a
ball, but the fielder makes an error?
Does player who throws a ball to a
bag for an out and gets the ball on the
return. completing a double play. get an
assist as well put out? Should a
player be charged with an error. when he
makes bad throw in trying to complete
double play. the runner not advancing
past first?
One of the greatest arguments for this
IDEA is the fact that the present way Of
deciding who wins and who loses a game

should be charged with the victory or de-

feat Is It right to charge a man with Q
defeat In a case like this: A pitcher be-
comes wild and fills the bases on balls,
making the score a tie. with two out: a
new man goes in without any warming
up and the first ball he pitches is hit for
a single. scoring the winning run. How
are the secretaries to know just how that
play came up? 1t is impossible to keep an
accurate account OF the number of games
pitchers win and lose because no one in
authority can decide. The official scorer
is supposed to be the Judge but one reads
every day that a pitcher is charged with
a defeat by the secretary OF the league.
but the newspaper man who follows the
game carefully cannot tell this from the
account of the game published any more
so than the ordinary fan.
One could go on at length to show that
a change from the present methods is
very desirable, in fact, imperative.

! ed as soon as his delivery was solved
base hits would follow and the scores of
recent games seem to bear out the conten-
ton.
The rapid start made by Manning re-
calls to mind the experience of Pitcher
Ed Smith with the st. Louis Browns in
1906. He was secured from the Dayton
team of the Central League and was
spitball HEAVIER. Smith won the first
seven games he worked and then evident

hammered every time he went to the

American Association, but failed to make

trail League and is now pitching with
success for Terre Haute.
