HILE nobody c o aa3rs 1.-THE the
of the Montgomery Club by
paying Pitcher JUL SIS as a bonus over
his salary, yet we have the utmost con-
tempt for the player. He was a party
to the violation and hen 'peached."
There is much knowledge to be gained
from the situation, however. 1t is a
proof to our way of thinking that base
ball must be honest. 1t shows how
much an wne manager or even
gamblers, can depend on players to
FIX games. Surprising that a gang
of men essayed to "fx'' everybody
!. necessary to have a baseball game go
b certain way, and they must see
everybody to make that certain, what
a unmerciful position they would find
themselves in when those vultures
came back to pick their bones. Base
ball must be clean from a playing
sstandpoint.
John A. Heydler, secretary to the
National Baseball Commission, said
this morning that owing to the limited
seating capacity of Shibe Park, he was
afraid the commission would be unable
to work the mailing system for re-
served seats in the grand stand and
Pavilion. "It looks said Mr.. Heydler,
las If nine thousand seats are too few
to permit of trying to dispose of them
by last years methods. At Pittsburg
we had twenty thousand reserved seats,
and the mailing system worked sue
cessfully."
y, To decide a bet, will you kindly ad-
wise in your paper as to whether
Frank Kramer beat Jackie Clarke In a
pursuit race last summer, and also the
distance they went before he caught
. him. and oblige, w. S. PETIT.
Manager JohI E. Chapman, of the
Nelodrome, says that Kramer beat
Clarke in a pursuit race in August,
1909. the distance being a trife more
than five miles.-Ed.
Connie Mack declares that he Will
positively use Strunk as an outf1elder
in the worlds series. Asked why,
Mack said: Because l have confidence
in him." Mack expects Strunk's speed
on the bases and in the outfield will
be a big help TO him. Strunk has
played in only eleven games this sea
son, but has an average of .4SS. VIII
he be the star of the s~eries-the Babe
Adams and so on?
Odds of 10 to s prevail on the worlds
series in Chicago today i'll favor OF
the Cubs. Bookmakers opened with
40-6 in favor of the Chance team, but
since Evers met with that injury the
hackers of the Cubs demanded IS for
every $40 they wager. ,

Carl Healey and Richie Ryan, who
knocked him out in four rounds re-
~ently, will box the semi-final at the
Sharkey A. C. tonight. Carl claims
Ryan's wallop was of the lucky variety
and that he'll beat Ryan tonight
Those who have fought Carl say he is
easy for a good, hard jab. This is only
a tip, Carl.
Wonder if Jack johnson can make
good his crack about being able 70
beat the world In an automobile or
will this auto race prove to be the
"White Mans Hope"

Frank Kramer, the national cham
pion, is in Evansville, Ind, on a bust
ness trip. He will be back Saturday,
in order to race on Sunday.
