famous in a day as the only man In
Chicago who was ignorant of base
ball and the, approaching series. But
even he became a convert, for Comis-
key sent him a season ticket to the
American league games and before
the next June he was n of the regu'

During that same series, when the
West side and the South side were en-
gagged almost in civil war, there was
an Irishman named Faugh a Ballagh
Finnegan, better known as Fog" who
had made a small fortune in trade on
the West side, and who, although he
never had seen a game, was one OF
the most loyal supporters of the West
side team. On the day Of the first
game Fog" gloriously arrayed, and
with much money to wager, was the
center of a group of ardent West
siders assembled in one section of the
South side stands. Standing on his seat
he def1ed the White Sox supporters
and Haunted his money in their faces.
Wan hundred to sixty on the Wist
SIDE" he shouted.
WAN hundrid to fifty. Wan hun
drid to forty"
The South siders, who were not
betting on their team, ignored him.
He shouted, challenged, and yelled
the praises of the West side. Pres.
emily the umpire brushed of the plate
and announced:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The bat
teries for today's game will be Ruel-
bach and King for the West side.
| Walsh and Sullivan for the South
side"
For an instant Fog" blinked hard,
wavering between loyalty to the West
side and love for Ireland. Then, leap
ing up again, he shouted:

players the game made wonderful

themselves were surprised. The de-

AS an amusement enterprise base
ball today Is scarcely second to the
theater. It caters to millions of spec
tators and represents an investment
of perhaps 500, 100000 in property
and players. The property holdings
of the National and American leagues
alone represent an investment Of
about SIS, 600, 900. The 16 major
league clubs pay over 81, 900, 900 a ca
son in salaries to players and spend
nearly as much in securing and trying
out new players. Add to this the salary
lists of 38 minor leagues, and the
wages paid by thousands of semi
professional clubs, and the immensely
of the baseball business as an amuse-
ment enterprise may be imagined.
The Players.
There is scarcely a sport known to
the world in which professionalism
does not exert a lowering influence.
Cricket, golf. even the turf, draw strict
fines between the amateur and the
professional. In most branches of
athletics to become a professional
means to take a step backward in the
social scale and in the estimation of
fellow e
The great exception to this rule is
baseball. The chief reason for this il
that baseball In the United States and
Canada no longer Is upon a doubtful
basis. but ranks as an established and
honorable trade. In addition the game
requires exceptional qualities of body
and mind. and in consequence per-
feet physical condition. involving
moral restrictions, not only is insisted
upon, but brings exceptional rewards.
In the earlier days Of the game pro-
fessional players were looked upon. in
many cases Justly, as rufians or at
best itiner0nt ne'er-dO-Weels. In many
towns and cities Of that time the
atrocious conduct Of the hired ath-
letes. their carousals and misbenavior
on and of the field, gave the sport and
it, players q bad name. Players Of
that day were recruits who looked
upon the game AZ a means Of crafty
ing nomadic tastes. Few Of them ex-
pected to continue in the sport, and
regarded an engagement as a summer
outing, to be devoted to having q good
time.
