addition, =. r. Watson, another stand
ard oil counsel, addressed the court
earlier in the day.
MIR Wickersham taunted his oppon-
ents for desiring to east the veil Of
oblivion over tho past. He spoke Of
that past as containing national
scandal which the courts and legisla-
lures were called upon to put down.
He emphasized the position that the
reorganization of 1899 gave the
standard more solidfed organiza-
tion than IT possessed before, an orr
sanitation that prevented the sub
sidary companies from becoming
competing.

to be influenced by the cry that this

There Is one direct result coming

league MUST employ travelling scorers

Two years ago the matter was dis
cussed TO some length. z. 8. Barnard,
vice-president OF the American league,
was strong advocate Of employing
men to travel as umpires do ana Keep

sentiments at the annual meeting and

II would take $4,000 per annum to
hire Official scorers That would mean
an adaed expense OF $l.25O per ciun
per season, which as baseball finances
go. Is a mighty small sum In view Oh
the ends TO be accomplished.
There IA no use disputing the fac'
that baseball property hinges upon lm
plicit confidence on the part or the
people who pay their money at tne
game. The race for batting supremacy
this season has done a whole lot more
than $4,000 damage In the way o.

No two men ever will score every
play during season In the same way
any more than two umpires will call
every play alike. but what chance Is
there of ever getting competent re-
corders throughout the league when
the official scorer Is chosen simply be-
cause he happens to hold the sport

claim to baseball knowledge consist

the same city there were half dozen
baseball men who had been connected
with the game for years as critics and
playrs. Yet, the ex-collegian with his
narrow experience inherited the scor-
ership along with his job.
The league Is going to discuss the
matter a great deal this winter and
the league would do well to follow
Barnard's plan. for II will do much to-
