held a long conference with Lajoie
this morning and when Ii was over,
Larry said he couldn't see as the ma
ticnal commission had any right to
stop him from taking part in the ten
games scheduled and picking up lit
tie easy money.
Lajoie's contract with Fletcher calls
for 81 900 and Larry Is hanging on to
his check. In fact, all OF the men,
bers OF the All Star teams have re-
tanned their checks with the excep-
ton of Mitchell and Bescher OF the
Reds: Rucker OF Brooklyn and Leach
OF Pittsburg. Fletcher now intends
to play his ten games at Kansas
City, the A. A. park there having
been offered him.
Lajoie would not say that Fletcher
talked with him today in reference to
the third league which he proposes
forming next year, but did admit that
he had had several talks with Fetch
er this fall. II Is said here that
Fletcher had received the contracts
of thirty-eight American leaguers for
next season, most OF them being mem
bers of the Boston, New York and
Detroit clubs.

Here's the real solution of the Cobb

auto. Hugh Chalmers, donor OF the
prize for the leading swatsman, has
offered another machine to President

first prize for advertising purposes

II sincerely regret the controversy

would much prefer not having Of
fered car at all than to cause any
aspersions to be cast upon the hon.
esty of our national game. For the
purpose Of settling this controversy
why not consider II tie between La
joie and Cobb as far as the automo-
bile Is concerned and I will gladly
give a car to each OF the two. to be
presented to them at the worlds
series games at the American league
grounds In Philadelphia next Monday
or Tuesday. Wouldn't that be good
way OF settling the controversy and
wouldn't 1t stop all present gossip
which. II continued, may hurt the
game? IL seems to me that the pre-
sentation to each one of them of a
car in this public manner would
square things all around and the I'M
pleasantness would then be forgotten.

Unfortunately for him, Ty Cobb hasn't
SO many. There are probably as many
men I'm the American league who
would like to see Lajoie carry OF the

would like to see Cobb at the wheel.
Naturally the National leagures plump
for Lajoie TO q man. Nothing more
natural In the world that they should
make his path easy. when the result
isn't going to effect the standing OF
their own particular club. Mind you
there appears to be nothing very
definite 30 far that the st. Louis field
ers deliberately made things easy for
Lajoie. But II they had any inclina-

Not SportsmanIike.
Larry Lajoie may not have been a

eight base hits. 10 the extent that he
sat down and prearranged the plans
for making thi possible, but there Is
no doubt that he played into the
hands OF his opponents who deliber-
ately left an opening for him TO take
advantage OF. He undoubtedly real
lied what the ST. Louis players were
trying to do after he had been to bat
two or three times, yet he did not
change his tactics and continued to
fatten his batting average.

Larry should be the last man I'm the

speaks for itself.
The fans in every American league
