In a test made in the upper part of
Portsmouth harbor this morning the
inefficiency of a massive boom with
wire ENHANCEMENT to prevent the en-
trance of hostile torpedo craft was
fully demonstrated, the torpedo boat
destroyer Ferret cutting through the
distractions with the greatest ease.
The boom consisted of massive balks
of timber and steel spikes, and the
outer edge was bound together with
stout wire hawsers with hawser en-
tanglements above and below the
water. The Ferret, whose bows were
specially strengthened with sharp steel
plates, steaming at full speed. about
80 miles an hour, charged directly at
the center of the boom and cut through

| stars the game has ever known-Buck
| Ewing, Bid McPhee, Mike Donlin, Joe
Kelley, Sam Crawford, overall, Sey-
mour, Corcoran and others above the
! standard. Garry Hermann, the clubs
chief owner, pays out annually a

double this amount to win, but Gin

On the other hand. Charley Muir

club, working through trades, and

wins two straight worlds champion
ships That's baseball.
Real Stars Cannot Be Bought.
! The helplessness of money is one of
| the peculiar phases of the national
game-the absolute inability of I'M
limited wealth to buy a championship
team. Money will fill a stable with
| horses holding worlds records, money
will tuy yachts and automobiles that
can set new marks for speed, but no
amount of money will buy enough ball
players Of pennant winning caliber to
! transform a second division team into
a first place certainty.
|, The late Frank de Haas Robson
talked about this subject some years
ago. Brother Stan and l want a
championship team in St Louis" he
! said. I'VE have spent over 100000
trying to get one, and still our nine is
near the foot of the ladder.
Now the fans in st. Louis would
! rise grandly to pennant winning
! team We would give 100000 for
| players that would insure us as good a
! team as the Pirates or the Cubs, a
team that would attract 5000 or 10000
people q day instead of 1000 or $500
a team that would in all probability
win the flag.
But 100000 wouldn't buy such a
team, nor would $1,O0O,O00 Every time
l think about the helplessness OF
wealth in baseball I am reminded of
the stranded mariner who found a
! million dollars worth of diamonds on
a desert island. He would have biven
them all for a loaf of bread but, alas
there was no bread to be had,
There are many club owners in the
American and National leagues who
would give almost any sum to get to-
gether a championship team, but the
thing can't be done.
Would New York sell Mathewsor
