championship; Karl T. Mosser. Robert

team. He struck out nine batters. hit
one and issued four free transporta-
tions to the initial sack.
Walters started the box work for the
Commercial Leaguers, but only lasted
three innings. In the time he officiated
the Marquette Leaguers got three hits
one being double. another triple
and the other single.
Walters famed one batter in the
time he worked. Norris, who had been
at the receiving end of the battery,
was brought into the box at the be-
ginning Of the fourth inning. He did
not allow a hit in the time he worked
Three of the Marquette Leaguers famed
the air and he gave two free passes.
Still another twirler was used by the
Commercial Leaguers. this being Raw
lings, their star. who twirled them to
victory for the league pennant this sea-
son. Although Norris was keeping the
drives of the Printers within reach of
his fielders, il was decided by the man.
ager of the Herald team that Rawlings
would be better to finish out the last
inning. This he did in fine style, as the
first batter rolled one TO him and was
out at first. while the next two bit the
dust on strikes.
OF the three hits recorded by the Mar
quette League champions Mccarthy got
the longest, having a triple to his credit.
Weaver recorded a double, while Elicit
landed the other. which was a single.
Four hits were credited to the news
paper boys the longest drive for them
being a double by Norris. The others.
who landed singles. were Gill, Dodge and
Upton.
In the catching department it was a

the plate for the Printers, while Norris
allowed two of the Marquetters to pilfer
sacks. Each of the receivers had a
Jim Elicit. who played the keystone
sack for the Columbia team, put up a
good game and brought himself into the
limelight in the first inning. Dodge who
was at the bat for the Herald team.
caught one on the end of his bat and
lifted II for an almost sure Texas League
toward right field. Elicit was off like a
streak and with his back to the ball
grabbed the leather as it was dropping
behind him.
coleman played the hidden-ball trick on
Reynolds in the opening inning. After
the latter had reached first on an error
and the first sacker had taken the throw,
coleman hid the leather in his glove. AS
the runner stepped off he was nailed.
Manager Sanders. who was coaching
on the line at the time, surely must have
been asleep TO allow such play 10 be
made.
Weayer's double in the second inning
surely was timely With one down and
two bases occupied he landed on the pei
let and placed it just on the left-field line
for two bases.
Gill made the star stop of the game
when he grabbed Willhide's bounder after
a high leap as il was going over his head
and got the runner at first The play re-
suited in q double play, as Elicit had
started for third on the throw and was
nailed by Gill.
Mccarthy was right on the job in back
ing up Elicit when the latter let Upton $
blow get through him. Norris had started
for third. but Mack made fine throw
and got him by yards TO spare.

weak behind the bat placed an enormous
handicap on the team.
II the games were to be played on a
straight-away system Mack'S team would
perhaps have the better OF the Cubs, but
when it comes to inside work and taking
advantage of every possible percentage
the Cubs are in a class by themselves,
though this assures nothing in world 5
series from the fact that the element OF
luck in so few games often cuts decided
figure.
In adopting policy 10 build up his
team with young blood. rather than take
the castoffs of other teams. Jim McAleer
has pleased local patrons of the game i'm
mensely. In the first place, the system
OF taking that which other clubs were
willing to let go has been in vogue here
for many years and has never proven a
success. McAleer wants to build up with
youngsters. That does not mean that ne
intends to clean out all his seasoned ma
terial. but that when he finds weak
spot he proposes to fill II with a player
who will develop instead of taking a
sea soned man who has but year or so
more to last in fast company.
There Is much more satisfaction In
building up bail team with players
which are brought forth from the smaller
leagues than with men who have been
before the major league public for years.
New faces help base ball everywhere and
the best results are obtained in this way.
In demanding money from the Ameri-
can League for the release of Harry
Howell, who is wanted as an umpire.
President Hedges of the st. Louis club
fails to display the proper spirit. Howell
is useless as a pitcher. but may be val
liable as a scout. which. however. cuts
no figure. II the league wants him for
an umpire, and as he Is not able to help
the st. Louis team win games. he should
be turned over without any demand be-
ing made But Owner Hedges has ever
been on the lookout for the dollar, and
once i'm his grasp. it is not apt to slip
away. Ii he could sell Howell To the
league he might be willing to spend part
Of the money in an effort to make the
BROWNS a real ma ior LEAGUE ball club.
