WHAT WOULD THEY THINK?
Present Day Method of Telling How
Game Is Played Might
Surprise.

The following classic from the pen of
a Chicago sport writer, describes a sec
ton or two Of a recent Giant-Cub game.
If an original Red Stocking, or any
other old-timer, should have such a line
handed out about him, do you think he
would know what he was being called
The second game was a case of Mar
kle and MathewsOn. The young first
baseman was robbed Of a hit in the sec
Ond inning by a thrilling running catch
in Artie HOfman's park, and when he
came up in the sixth he took the pre-
caution to swipe one to left that just
eluded the infelders. Big Meyers va
ried the program a tri1e by soaking an
other One-baser into right field. That
was mixing EN- up TO perfection and
sort Of made Reulbach gTOggy. After
taking two ladylike pokes in futile at
tempts to bunt, MathewsOn double
crossed big Edward by a masculine
swing at the next one. To the surprise
of most folks the ball bounded into CEN
ter for a single and that fellow MeTkle
scored.
Doyle fouIed to Archer. but Seymour
picked up the thread of the plot and
smashed another One-baser to center,
scoring the Injun. Reulbach was de
termined that Murray wouldn't hit the
first one, so he wild-pitched it, letting
the two runners move up one notch
each. Tinker booted Murray's tap, and
Matty, the Crap Shooter, came home to
his folks.
Shafer walked, and when he tried to
swipe second Jimmy Archer fired into
center field, and Red Murray reported
That was enough.
Reulbach had eased out Of his system
all Of his wildness and with those two
errors properly marked for identifca-
ton, the case proceeded and at the mid
die of the ninth inning a verdict of
guilty for the Cubs was rendered ac-
cOrding to the evidence that was intro
duced in that inning.

GOING TO FIGHT 1T OUT.
Murphy of the Cubs Says Pirates
Should Win Pennant If He Can't.

Cincinnati o., Sept. 2-President
Charles Murphy Of the Cubs. who was
here attending the session of the ma
tional commission during its work of al
loving the drafts from minor leagues.
says the PittsbuTg club should succeed
in landing the 1909 pennant of the Ma
tiOnal League.
we haven't given up hope of winning
the pennant yet said Mr.. Murphy, but
the Pittsburg team has so good a lead
and is playing such good ball that I fear
we are out of it. There are many causes
for this. Pitchers have gone bad for us
at critical times. Either the outfield or
the intield has been broken. Then, too.
l guess we've played some pretty ragged
ball.

WHY NOT STATE SERIES TO settle
UTAH'S BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP?

The Herald-Republican sporting depart
meut viii be glad to receive entries OF
teams up to Sept. 7. When the entries
are in a schedule can be arranged accord
ing to the number of teams entered and
their location. A series OF best two in
three, TO be played in the first round, the
same in the semi-finals and the same in
the finals. This would give each team
a chance to have one or more home games.
The gate receipts to be divided 90 per cent
to the winner and 20 per cent to the loser,
or according as the teams may wish.
The Herald-Republican does not want
to handle the series or to dictate any
terms 1t only wants to help in starting
the play and boosting the game.
1t seems fair, however, to propose two
rules: First, that one player shall be
limited TO play on one team only and
when that team IS put out of the run
ing he be stopped from jumping around
to other teams; and, second, that the
managers of the teams entering shall
have first call on the men who have
played the majority of games during the
season with them.
When the entries are in the teams en-
tered can appoint committee to control
the play or name another manner of
supervision.
Let Us hear from the teams.

JOHNSON IN PESSIMISTIC MOOD, SAYS
THAT JEFFRIES WILL NEVER FIGHT HIM

viii cheerfully admit the fact, and, if
necessary, apologize to Jeffries for
doubling him.

isn't worth the paper it is written on.
Jeffs money is one place and mine is
in another. If Jeffries signs real arti-
cles and puts his forfeit where it will
be in company with mine, I may begin
to think he means business, although
as 1 have said, 1 believe there viii be

Johnson had something to say on the
subject of bids.

front passing eight or ten riders. He
then had a clear field ahead but his
method of going "aI in" on ore grand
squirt instead of reseTviIg some strength
for a final effort almost cost him a vic
tory. Freddy West closing fast with
well-timed finish almost nailed Clarke,
who wabbled over the tape a length to the
good. FOsler was a close third Kramer
had been in the final scramble, but find
ing the task of heading off Clarke impos-
sible quit, coming to the tape and was
unplcced.
Percy Lawrence is surely par excel
lence as pursuit rider among the anna
teurs. When il came down to the last
two men in the final struggle it was
Lawrence against Ernest Jokus. with the
former almost q Ian behind Facing this
situation Lawrence went along gradually
overhauling JOlSus and then on the finish
uncorked sprint that would have done
him credit at the end of a half-mile dash
The distance was five miles five and
three-quarters laps, the longest amateur
pursuit of the season.

Why not settle the question:
Never before in the history of base
ball in Utah have 50 many teams
claimed the state championship.
Every report of a victory is coupled
with a statement about the winner
having the best claim on state hon
OrS.
The baseball fan at large is glad to
see the interest in the game, especi-
ally in the smaller towns. He is glad
because il keeps the game alive and
may make some of the "city cousins"
wake up TO the matter of getting in the
game themselves.
The question of the state champion
ship il one that can be settled. and
in settling the matter greater inter
est will be aroused than before, and
the fans viii be willing to pay go see
the matches if they are run right.
Heber, Payson, Park City, Eureka, the
Salt Lake OCCidentals and Bert Margetts'
Independents have each claimed the title,
and each has offered large and small side
bets to back their claims
The six teams named have played for
the greater part of the present season to-
gether. However, as the series is to set
tie the matter for the whole state, Og-
den, Bingham and any other Utah state
team should have a chance to enter.

Try w. w. NAUGHTONO

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-When Jack
johnson read in the papers that Jim
Jeffries had Endorsed Sam Berger's ac-
ton in the recent matchmaking con-
ference at Chicago, he mUTmUred, THAT
looks like business"
Then Johnson went out on the road
and thought things over as he trudged
along the Piedmont highways. When
he returned to his quarters at Cock
relTs he was in a pessimistic mood.
All his faith in JeffTies' good inten-
ton had vanished.
"Jeffries doesn't intend to fight me"
said Johnson, "and I'll bet 81 900 that
I am right. He will come back TO this
country with bands playing and he'll
work the theatrical gag for all it's
worth He may sign articles and ap-
point a date for the fight, but, mark my
words, when the time draws near there
will be an accident or a doctors certifi-
cate setting forth that Jeffries' health
will not allow him to fight"

semi-final heat. Anderson started the
sprint in the deciding heat, but Kramer
passed him in the home stretch, Fogler

the order named. Clarke made a great

a length in fast time. Fem captured the
