ATHLETICS

NICKET scalping at Maud Junction
must cease. This is the dictum
Il of Tom McCarey of the Pacific
Athletic club, and he will endeavor TO
see that the practice is stopped. Ths
recent disgraceful experiences in the
northern fights have aroused the local
promoters and the management VIII
see to it that arrangements are made
whereby all those who arrive at the
Maud junction pavilion the nights of
both fights and apply for gallery seats
which are not sold until the evening
of battle, will receive fair and just
treatment. This scalping of admission
slips has long been nuisance ana
worse. There are men who nave
profited by 1t, who cared not whit
for the publics comfort. But this Is
not characteristic of McCarey's meth
DDS. He has consistently sought in
every way to protect the public in his
ring battles, and to this end he will go
to extreme measures if necessary to
put out of existence the reprehenslbe
ticket scalping. A full opportunity Will
be afforded the public to buy tickets
first hand, and all patrons are urged to
give the scalpefs a cold reception IN
order to assist the manager in stamp
ing out this evil. If necessary an au-
tomobile will be hired to sell tickets TO
the crowd, and police aid has been
promised If such becomes necessary.
The pinch hitters life is far from
being a continual bed of roses. To the
casual observer it appears pretty soft
for a man to sit on the bench every
afternoon for seven or eight innings,
with nothing to do but watch the
game, and then be called on to step to
the plate in a pinch to hit for some
weak striker.
Nothing of the kind. The man who
is kept on the pay roll to do stunts
of, this sort has his work cut out for
him. and. even though the rest of the
regulars tell him what a snap he has,
not one of them would willingly eX-
change places with him.
The pinch hitter holds his job be-
cause he can swat the ball. Every
time he is sent to hit for some one he
is aware that it's up to him to deliver
a safe drive.
He has been sitting on the bench pos
sibly the greatest part of the after
noon without getting a chance to see
what sort of stuff the pitcher is serv-
ing, and he knows that the moment he
steps to the plate the finger will de-
liver everything in his repertoire.
Then every one in the stands is look
ing to him to clout and banking on
him to make good. The fans seldom
take into consideration that, no matter
how good a hitter a player may be, he
only makes about one base hit in every
three trips to the plate.

CARD GOES TO CHICAGO

Clayton Card for four years the main
stay Of the Pasadena high school foot
ball and track team, expects to attend
the University of Chicago next fall.
Card closed his high school career this
year, being graduated with honors.
He played right tackle on the foot
ball team, where he was a tower of
strength. When it came to advancing
the ball Card was indispensable. He
could always be counted upon to gain
the necessary yardage. He was also
a good punter
AS a member of the track team, Card
won many points for the Red and
white. His strong forte was the ham
mer throw and putting the shot. Pasa
dena high school is making arrange
ments to use the Carmelita football
grounds next fall.
Superintendent of Schools A. l..
Hamilton of Pasadena, has agreed that
If used the field will be restored to it's
original condition at the close of prac-

VERNON LOSES ANOTHER GAME
TO McCREDIES OREGON SLUGGERS

He never knows what moment his
manager will take out some weak bat
ter so he may be substituted. About
the only chance the pinch hitter has TO
feel jubilant is when he has been called
upon to perform and drives out the
base hit that returns his club victor
TO have the cheers of the fans ring
ing in his ears at a time like that Is
mighty fine. but does it atone for the
time after time he has failed to deliver
the much-needed hit? And on his way
to the clubhouse he hears some par
ticularly ribald fan yell:
Get out, you big mutt! You couldn't
fall out of boat and hit the water!"
The National Baseball commission
has given out the following. promul-
eating a new rule:
1.-THE attention of the commission has
recently been called to the fact that
certain professional players who
are under contract with clubs of the
semi-professional leagues of Chicago,
had been induced to sign contracts with
national agreement clubs and in certain
instances have violated contracts that
they enter into with the semi-profes-
sional clubs. The commission is of
the opinion that this is absolutely un-
just and for that reason the following
rule is adopted:
Rule 50-WheneVer a semi-profes-
sional player signs a contract with a
professional team, said contract
Is to be respected the same as If it
had been entered into by the player
with a national agreement club, and
under no conditions will any national
agreement club be permitted to sign
such players to any other contracts
until after the expiration of the play
er's contract with the semi professional
team, provided, however that any ma
tional agreement club owner can en-
ter into an agreement for the pur-
chase or release of such player, either
for the year for which said player is
under contract with such semi-profes-
sional team or for future use, with the
club owner of the professional
team to whom the player is under con-
tract, but In all SUCH cases the con-
sent of the player must he obtained
before such an agreement can be en-
tered into"
''Rule 36, relative to national agree
ment players and clubs, formerly pro-
vided that options on minor league
players could be exercised by major
league clubs on August 20 and that
players must report three days later.
An amendment to this rule is also pro-
mulgated and the new provision Is to
the effect that the national baseball
commission may, If 1t so desires, grant
the minor league club the player s
service for the remainder of the sea-
son,
