Now, there are four speed boats here

CHAMPIONSHIP COIN
SHOULD GO TO HOME
Refuge Of INDECENT Ball Players Badly Needed. and
Receipts From Worlds Series Offer Oppor-
tunity for Maintaining One.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Now that Il Is all over and the Pitts
burg and Detroit teams have won the
championships OF the National ana
American Leagues by a safe margin and
neither pennant depended upon one or
two games, the fans and club owners
are likely to forget the yelled and even
open charges which have discredited the
races in the two leagues in former years
A pot of money viii be made by every
player I'm the worlds series which be-
gins in Pittsburg next Friday, and
around that hinges the possibilities Of
scandal More than one manager and
team has been more or less directly &C
cused OF quitting before certain pen
nant contenders out OF pure friendship,
or for underhand business reasons. This
has been a menace 10 the reputation OF
the professional sport for honesty ever
since playing for a worlds champion
ship was inaugurated-
Here's the Suggestion.
There are even those who believe that
It would be for the best interest Of the
game and its stability to abolish the
post season contests between the major
league winners. There is an abundance
OF ground for such argument, but the
series has become a fixture for the next
few years. anyhow. and to do away with
it would cause a tremendous roar from
the public The manner in which the
National Commission Is handling the
ticket sales and safeguarding the pros
pective spectators is making big hit.
but the commission cannot, to save its
life, force teams TO play consistently at
their highest speed II they choose 70
lie down to their favorites.
One suggestion that would be worth
considering would be 70 deduct the eX-
penses from the gross receipts, set aside
a certain percentage for the mainten-
ance of the National Commission, allow
each player a definite amount which
should be large enough to well repay him
for his work in the series. and turn the
balance over 20 a fund for the home Of
professional baseball players, who have
reached the end Of their earning ca
pacity.
Why Not a Players Homer
Secret societies. fraternal orders, labor
unions, and numerous other bodies Of

should not follow suit. The players have
frequently talked the question OF form
ing a labor union, and have even gone
so Tar as u organize with that end in
view, but there has ever been a lack
Of cohesion IN the ranks and the move
ments have resulted in utter failures.
Such would also be the fate of an effort
TO establish a home unless there were
some definite and compelling force TO
start the enterprise on business prin-
ciples, and sec that II did not collcpse
after the first burst of enthusiasm.
The National Commission and the
world series offer a nuclLus around
which TO build the scheme of a play
ers' home. There are various other
inteT-isague series than those between
the major circuits and the spring and
fall games between tee PhillieS and
Athletics, ST. Louis Browns and St.
Louis Cardinals, Chicago White SoK and
Chicago Cubs. New York Nationals and
Boston Americans, etc, could well afford

The details would have TO be worked out

but the plan is perfectly feasible, and it
is a wonder il has not been carried into
effect long ere this.
That John r. Brush should have re-
fused TO allow the New York Giants as
a team TO take part in an exhibition

prising, but il is certainly naUseating.

of inflammatory rheumatism in
the knees, from which I was
unable TO leave my room for
several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried
diiFe rent kinds of hniment and
medicines which seemed TO re-
lieve me. from pain for awhile,
but at the same time I was not
any nearer getting well. One
day while reading e paper L saw
an advertisement of s. s. for
Rheumatism. I decided to give
il a trial. which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles
I felt a great deal better, and I
still continued 20 take 1t regu-

I now feel better than I have
