Arizona republican., 1910-09-09

The confirming of the report of new baseball league by some of the leading baseball magnates has been the cause of considerable agitation and discussion as to the advisability of such a move. Many argue that a twelve-club league. such as is pro- posed. will not prove a very good busi ness venture financially or help main tain the standard of the sport. such as is now being held. or. to use their words, "too many cooks spells the broth"
 It win be remembered that the National league. in order 10 reduce the former twelve-club league circuit to it's present size, spent over half million dollars, and even then did not succeeded until new league was formed under the heading of the Amer ican league. Baseball men in St. Louis and Detroit who are being credited with backing this enterprise. claim that it is their object to make an eiSht-cluh circuit.
 Such a venture would no doubt be sanctioned and approved by the fans throughout the country. as baseball has risen to such a point that even the smallest youth of the streets is clamor- ing for more baseball, and is just about as good an authority on present base ball dope as any of the "old-time fans. It would be necessary. however. so as not to annul the present interest in baseball, to produce a league that would be the equal of the two major league teams now in existence.
 The American association was in a position to block any such move had there been more harmony between the major leagues and the leaders of the American association. It would have been. or rather would now. be good baseball diplomacy for the major leagues to place clubs in Pittsburg. Cin- cinnati and Chicago. upon a noncon- flicting schedule, as it would be the most effective barrier that could be put up against foreign invasion" and would not hurt the majors in the least. The magnates might do we'll to ponder over the above suggestion.
 It is all very well to say that it costs big money to get into the baseball business (and it is true sometimes). but just the same there are syndicates with big reserves of coin looking for such investments. and the reports of the big league clubs clearing from S1O0 OO0 to s3G0, 900 in a season has made let of these money men sit up and take notice. Then again all the big league clubs are putting up stands. etc. at the parks costing from S250, 000 to S1 coo 0O0 As the owners were not milionaires previously Cat least very few of them), why, they must have made their money out of baseball. and the business man, especially the the atrical man. is not slow to sum every thing up. It is only natural then that men of means can easily be found to back such a venture.
 Profit and loss would also have to be taken into consideration. major league team plays about 150 games a season. The receipts are divided as

Chicaeo- Boston Trade

Diverse opinions are afioat through out baseball circles over the relative merits of the recent trade by which the White Sox acquired Lord and Mo Cornell in exchange for Billy Purtell and Frank Smith. The unfriendly attitude of Lord toward the Bos- ton club made him practivally val ueless in their hands. Boston has ben efited much by the acquisition of two players who are both willing and able to render their best efforts in the Red Soxs' struggle for the flag, while their loss is but a dormant asset.
 Chicago will undoubtedly benefit on their end of the bargain because Lord is a stronger and more experienced in fielder than Purtell and is thoroughly satisfied to be with the Chicago bunch. The effect on Commys pitching staff will be but little, for this is his strong est department. The breach between Smith and the Chicago club was as notiC able to the fans as was Lords discontent while with the Boston team. Lord no doubt is difficult player to handle, but Duffy knows by his long experience how to manage such men and will therefore be able to make Lord a valuable man. Mcconnell can be used to great advantage at second, and, in fact, will fill in as a utility man wherever needed.

Attendance Falling Off

Is the world of to-day baseball mad? Questions such as this can be heard on all sides, especially after one has paid a visit to one of the major league ball parks on a Saturday or Sunday and watch the thousands of people wend- ing their way through the gates to watch the teams battle for supremacy.
 Men. women and children lose their otherwise dignity and are willing to be pushed, stepped on and ready to smile at any discomfort that may be accorded them during the progress of the game.
 While this is true in the major league circuit, there is a noticeable decrease in the attendance in the Three-I league circuit. Whether this is due to the fact that the fans are not satisfied with the article of ball they are getting cannot be ascertained. Statistics go to show that the Three-I league teams have been playing an article of ball that cannot be surpassed in any of the major league teams. Yet the attend ance has decreased to such an extent that 1t is rumored that Rock Island, which has the reputation Of being good drawing card. may have to fol- low in the wake of Davenport. which couple of years back dropped out of the league for no other reason than lack of attendance.

Football Gossip Heard

Gossip on the campus of the numer- ous American colleges has again turned to football, now that the baseball sea son is coming to a close.
 It takes good deal of time to teach a man modern football and he has to go through a certain period of steady work before ne combines the neces- sary knowledge with the skill, hence an especial reason for consistency in carrying out training development Football men all need quickness and the work should be devoted to short periods of snappy play rather than long periods which get the man into the bad habit of playing slowly because he is tired.
 A football player beyond all else needs to have sort of superfiuous energy to draw upon at the time Of his match and 10 exhaust this is to make a very serious mistake. The men should, therefore, be very carefully watched in order to see that the worE is not at the expense of this energy, which must be called upon at crit ical time. No man should find him self in a game without a feeling that he would at least like to make touch down whether it is possible or not. and the making of touchdowns is practical ly impossible if the mans physical and mental condition is such as to leave him without desire to do so.

Dieting and Training

Of the very oldest system of train ing, which is now thoroughly obsolete. little need be said. as no amateur oi recent years has thought of following it It was a method which may be called pre-athletic. as it was. in fact. nothing but adopted for training for the prize ring. The weight was to ne reduced to its minimum at all hazards the liquid consumed was to te d max mum of two pints a day; the edibles were almost entirely meat and bread, and the natural physical result of such a diet was cOuEteIactod by daily purg- ing medicines.
 Sweating, meat eating and purSing constituted the old system of training, ana those who wonder how such a GUS tom could ever have been adopted E1st rccOHeCt that 1t was chiefly ap- piled to men of the lower class. used 10 coarse food and with no highly or saEizcd nervous system. It needs no argument 10 show that such a method could not be beneficial, or even prac- tiCGblc. to an amateur who takes up athletic sports as a recreation and not as a business.
 The grind of the athlete under the present rigid rules of training not only develops the body but brings out rare qualities of mind as well and becomes very Noticeable in a persons character

Cotton Sfafes League

As the pennant season approaches an end fandOm in this circuit is making plans for 1911. Thoughtful ones fig ure that what is needed is an eight club league. Columbus, Meridian. Hat tiesburg, Natchez. Vicksburg, Green vile, Yazoo City and Greenwood are mentioned to compose the new organ ization for 1911.
 Plenty of material for promotion seems to be in the league. Graham. heavy hitting second baseman. and Flint, first baseman of Jackson, have been sold to the St. Louis Browns Hannifan of Meridian has been sold to St. Joseph. Knox of the same club has pitched consistent ball throughout the season, but has in the main been ac- corded poor support. Meridian also boasts the best all-around player in the league in Puig. who has played every position of the diamond for the Ribboners, including catcher and pitch CT, and seems to be at home at all places. He win undoubtedly go to a higher league in 1911.

Many of the best baseball scuOts in the business to-day will tell you that speed is not always essential to make a good pitcher. It is nevertheless true that many major league twirlers would be wearing the garb of minor organi- zatious were 1t not for the fact that they possess speed.
 Has he speed" is generally the question which follows How big is he?" when manager wants to know about some find" picked up in the bush leagues by scout.
 There is considerable difference Of opinion as to whom are the speediest pitchers now performing in the major leagues. Some fans have their favor ties; some like this man and some like that, and so on until you find. after questioning quite a number of so- called authorities. the solution Of the problem is just as far away as ever.
 The writer was very anxious to ac- quaint himself on this point, and after interviewing several National and American league managers discovered that 1t is generally believed that the distinction of the worlds greatest

no matter how the pitchers are pitch ing or the fielders are fielding, the peer less leader will not give up until there are three outs in the ninth and the pennant Tapping from another pole.
 To-day indications are that the Cubs will win the flag, Pittsburg will finish a close second and the Giants third.
 It is practically conceded that the American league pennant will be won by Philadelphia. Connie Mack has un- doubtedly the strongest aggregation in the younger major organization. The Athletics manager is deserving of much commendation for the remarka- ble manner in which he presided at the helm all through the season.
 Had 1t not been for the excellent pitching staff. however. the White Ele- plants would have had some tough going, especially because of the oppo- sition that would be placed in their patch by Boston and Detroit were it not for the smooth, decisive manner in which the Philadelphia team went along.
 Throughout the season the team dis played great team work, and the work of the pitchers was really marvellous. In Plank, Bender and Combs Connie Mack has trio that can work alter nately in the worlds series-that is. of course, if they are fortunate enough to win the pennant-and give their ad- versaries taste of the real goods.
 Whoever be the pennant winners, one fact is certain, viz, that the baseball temperature will be about 1O6 degrees when the worlds series begins.

speed artist lies between Frank Smith of the Boston Red Sox, Walter John osn of the Washington Americans and Big Ed" Ruelbach of the Chicago Cubs.
 Smith is the most powerfully built man of inc trio. and when not pitching the spit ball" delivers a ball that re sembles a pea when going through the air On the other hand, Johnson. who is taller and no: so heavy as Smith. pitches with comparative ease, but the ball travels with cannon bah force and has the best batters n the league un- easy for fear of being hit.
 An indication of the speed of Ed Ruelbach can be glaned from the atti- uide of his manager. Frank Chance. When the big fellow is going right and the day is dark. he is invariably called upon to perform. whether it is his turn or not.
 It is the boast of quite a number of heavy hitters in both leagues that they can eat speed" And 1t is frequently remarked that the faster the ball the farther it goes. All that looks well in print. but when it comes to batting up
Arizona republican., 1910-09-09

Now that the third lap in the race for the National and American league pennants has been reached, the ques- ton uppermost in lde minds of the fans of both leagues is, What teams will battle in the worlds series?"
 Looking at the situation from all angles and considering the good and bad points of all possible contenders, it can safely be said that the National league flag will be won by either the Chieaog Cubs or the Pittsburg Pi- rates, and the American league pen nant will be carried away by the Phil sdelphia Athletics.
 There are many critics, however, who have not given up the Giants as pos sisle pennant contenders in the old league, but it is evident to a close follower of the game that the Giants will have all that they can do to finish in third place.
 Credit should be given Manager Mo Graw for the persistency which he has displayed all through the season in on effort to land a flag for the eager but fickle Gotham fans. It is a fact that the New York bugs thronged the Polo grounds when the Giants were going well but once the team displayed a tendency to slump, the very same bugs were conspicuously absent. But this is getting away from the winners.
 Judging from the remarkable man ner in which the Pirates have been playing since the managerial difficult ties were adjudicated. Pittsburg will be strong contender when October rolls around. The fans of the Smoky City are clamoring for their pets 70 land another flag. especially as the honor of Pennsylvania would be at stake, as well as a worlds series were they to fight it out with the Athletics this fall
 Pittsburs secured some mighty good men last season. notably young Mil Ter the second baseman. Then, again the acquisition of Flynn. the guardian of the initial sack, in place of the nerveless Abstein, further strengthens the team. This youngster is a mighty fine slugger. and there are many who believe that he can hit the ball harder than even the mighty Wagner.
 With Manager Clark, Wilson and this seasons find, young Campbell. in the outfield. the Pirates have a trio that Is second to none, not excepting the remarkable field of the Detroit Tigers. Pittsburg has a mighty, fine catcher in Gibson, and with Adams. LiefieId an the rest of the twirlers pitching gco5 ball, there isn't a team in the leagu that can show them up.
 Chicago will not be convinced thar the Cubs will not win the pennant. an the Windy City fans certainly hay, sufficient reasons for so thinking. Tn mere fact alone that Frank I.erol Chance is managing the team is enougl to guarantee that the team will b, there strong at the finish.
 Frank Chance is a man who works hard and makes those under him work hard also. No matter how luck breaks: no matter how many difficulties arise:

Plan Weh Baseball League

follows: The total attendance is fig- ured on a 50-cent basis; that is if 20.000 persons attend a game the gross receipts are put down as $10.0a0. A part Ca little under 10 per cenD is given 10 the governing body of the league, and the remainder is divided equally between the two clubs playing A club that is playing good ball will generally average about 5000 persons a game, or 750.00O at l5O games. The gross receipts, therefore, reach s375.000. Take the percentage given to the gov erning body (s37. 7.50O) and there re- mains $337. .5eO The winning club, therefore receives half of this. or s16S- 750. as the years gate receipts. In most clubs to-day the 50-cent basis is greatly in favor of the home team. for were the exact figures to be computed we would discover that the general average of individual paid attendance reaches about 50 cents. The reason is clear
 A park seating 2e.OOO people would be noted as a $1O,Oeo park on a fuIl day. As a matter of fact. the seats will be divided as follows: Twenty dve-cent seats, s.OO0 ($2.OOO); 5o-eent seats. 1000 (:S.5OO); $1 seats, 5000 (S5.000)-a total of $500 above the $IO.- 900 estimatde. Some cities have only Soccer ball. that is the cheapest seat in the bleachers will cost half dollar. and the total will be split up thus: Fifty cent seats. 5000 CS4,O00): 75-cent seats. 6,0O0 (S4,5O0); S1 seats. 5000 ts6. .O00). or . total of s145OO. or $4,5OO clear profit above the accepted esti- mate.
 One thing is certain. however, and that is that theatricals and baseball can never mix.
