fairs, hodge-podge Of speeches. songs,
dancing, refreshment booths, catch
penny affairs, and athletic events. In
the latter, interest mainly centers IN
the weight throwing between John
Flanagan and Matt McGrath Tor the
worlds championship.
A prize waltz, arranged for all who
think they can dance just a htJle pet
ter than somebody else, Is the feature
tonight, excepting Of course, the scenes
Of rivalry about the voting booths,
where the popular Irishmen are al bat
thing for ballots. IT is understood that
a lot OF lobbying is going on. rms
isn't surprising when a Dig diamond
pin and a suit OF CLONES Is hung up as
the prize for popularity
The success Of the fair financially,
was assured before the day ended yes
terday, nearly 10000 people mingling
together in as merry q thOrnE as ever

of great runners and the way they stole
on the bumwinged backstops was a fright.
About this time Armour. accompanied
by Secretary Navin. went to Toledo one
Sunday to size up Schmidt. then back
stopping for the Minneapolis team. There
was no getting away from the fact that
Schmidt had great arm and excellent
direction to his throws. And he made a
hit with Armour.
A double-header was played that Sun
day and Schmidt was given plenty of OPP
portunity to exhibit his wing by Demont,
Lee. George Moriarity and a few other
fast ones. With neatness and dispatch
Schmidt would grab the ball out Of the
atmosphere and cannon-ball 1t to second.
He nailed half a dozen victims.
When the Mud Hens tired trying TO
steal he began nipping them OFF the bag
by snap throws. Armour became elated.
Well. Armour and Navin held con-
sultation. 'I'll admit don't like his style
at bat said Armour, but look at him
throw
HE may not be much of catcher. but
when IL comes to wingfng the ball he's
there with the chimes on" replied Navin.
What do we care how bad he is any
where else if he can thrown" they col
laborated. ''he will stop them running
bases" And Schmidt unofflcially became
a Tiger the next day.

club can't finish in the first division or
win the pennant.
Managers are continually trying to And
players who excel on the bases. They
seek speed, speed. speed. Celebrity on the
bases would receive a severe setback by
the abolition of the spike. 1t seems al
most ridiculous to talk Of dispensing with
1t, despite the injuries that may possibly
accrue from its use. Base ball is a game
for men with red blood. and any such
game must be fraught with injuries of
more or less serious nature.
Managers are continually trying to find
pitchers who possess curves that battle
the batters. Fans delight in having pitch
ers on a team that can NOW down the
opposing sluggers. Why, then, talk of
more hitting?
Base ball is a pretty fair game as
played and appears to be pleasing the null
titude. then why try any new-fangled
stunts that may jeopardize its worldwide
popularity?

WAR IS DUE.
Term Of Peace in Base Ball Lasts
Ten Years.

Ten years seem to mark the distance
In time between upheavals in the base
ball world so accurately that the re-
turn of base ball discomfort leading up to
and eliminating in war can be predicted
as accurately as the return of Halley's
comet. Previous to 1890 things were
more chaotic and disturbances were more
irregular and frequent. But the begin
ming Of the final decade of the nineteenth
century was marked in diamond history
Dy the brotherhood war. as the revolt of
the players and their attempt to operate
a players league in opposition to the
National was termed. With the quick
downfall of the Brotherhood a period of
peace followed. until In 1900 the Ameri-
can League. expanding suddenly from a
minor to major circuit, began In the
early days of the twentieth century q
struggle for an equal share in the gov
eminent of the nations pastime For
practically three years that war lasted
and was ended by the Cincinnati peace
compact. It did not require any expert
knowledge of astronomy to predict re-
currence of war conditions In 1910. The
situation arising out of the sudden change
of ownership in the Philadelphia Ma
tfonal League club need not, therefore.
have surprised any one familiar with the
history of the game. In previous decades
the result of falling out In the ranks of
the magnates has been productive of
good. 1T has cleared the atmosphere and
compelled the subservience of individual
interests to save base ball from an I'M
timely finish. 1t is something of a coin
cidence that the present breach seems to
be over the proposed election of John
Montgomery Ward to the presidency of
the National League. Ward was one of
the leaders in the Brotherhood war. and
at that time was arrayed against the or
ganization, five clubs of which are said
to be pledged to vote for him. Ward was
not in base ball ut the time Of the war of
1900 Few of the present club owners
have been through more than one pre-
vious period of strife. John T. Brush of
the New York Nationals has been
through all three of the recent wars, in
Guiding that Of the Brotherhood Charles
A. Comiskey of the White Sox bears the
scars of all three modern struggles, and
back of that was mixed up in the battles
of the original American Association
against the National League He is the
veteran of all base ball warriors, and the
majority of present club owners in both
major leagues do not far antedate the
last war, while many have come into the
game since peace was last declared.

HAS GREAT ARM.
Catcher Schmidt Looks Good to Jen'
ninps on This Account.

Clever John King and Gibson showed
up Schmidt in championship series. but
does not count against the American
leasuers so much. but rather is compli-
ment to the Coal Hill boy. say some.
The story Of Charley Schmidt's advent
into fast company is interesting. In mid
summer, 1906, shortly before Jack War
ner pulled the Tigers out of the hole by
his marvellous work behind the bat, the
fact that catchers who could throw were
needed Immediately became apparent to
Bill Armour, then manager of the De-
troit team.
Reluctantly game after game was going
to the boWwows by the inability of Lou
Drill. Tom Doran and Bob Wood to stop
steaIerS. Every team seemed composed
