Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1910-10-13


teen rounds at the Armory A. A. Balti-
more, October 1S The following week
Patsy will take another crack at Abe
Attell for six rounds al tho same club.
This will be the third meeting of the
pair The willy Abe wouldn't go more
than six rounds with the Newarker,
from whose vicious lefts he can keep
away for that length of time. That
looks like a bad match for Patsy. At
the Long Acre Club November 5 Patsy
win take a shy at Young Mandot for
ten rounds. This boy Is tough one,
and Patsy will be Obliged to go some
to beat him.
A. q. Spalding, the former baseball
magnate, when interviewed yesterday
in regard to the present agitation in
the baseball world on the proposed for
nation of a third major league, had
the following to say:
I'm a recent issue of a Chicago paper
it is made to appear that l am indors-
ing organization of a third major
baseDsll league.
This annoys me exceedingly, for |
cannot conceive of greater misfor-
tune that could befall the national
game at this time than to have an at
tempt made to foist a third MAJOR
league onto the game.
81 have read something in the Call
fornia papers about some Western pro-
noter who had tried to organize some
sort of a transforming tour after the
close of the season with a collection
of National and American players, but
that the National Commission had
very properly ruled against such an
undertaking
such tours invariably result In
financial loss to the promoters, are de-
moralizing to the players and tend TO
disgust the baseball public with the
game. An exhibition game of baseball
between picked teams, no matter how
sllillful the players may be, without
the necessary local interest IS. from
spectators standpoint. about the most
stupid performance imaginable
.
How having Laioie return the batting
prize auto to the company donating 1t
and declaring Cobb's and the French
mans batting averages a tie can
straighten out the difficulty last Sun
days performance at st. Louis is re-
sponsible for, is hard to see. That
"two wrongs don't make one righ.
principle still holds good Either al
low Lajoie's hits to stand or punish
the men who allowed him unearnad
bingles If Larry wasn't a party TO
the scheme. if there was one, why
punish him?
Barney Oldfeld adheres to his deter
mination to race Jack Johnson Octo-
ber 20 at Sheepshead Bay in spite cf
the American Automobile Association.
Is this all press agent gag?
Cincinnati plays Cleveland the sec
ond game of that series today This
game gives fans a chance to compare
the relative strength of the major
leagues. for they both lead the second
division. o
Rube Oldring will probably be lost
to the Athletics in the worlds series
because of the knee injury he sus-
tanned in the present practise season.
Well. the batting practise the Mackites
are getting against good pitchers more
than makes up for that loss.
o
While everybody else slumbers, John
Camel is busy for next year. He has
pinioned Chubby Manser, released by
Brooklyn yesterday Praise must be
given Camel for his zeal. 1t is evident
that Jersey city owners care not
whether a good team represents them
in the Eastern League next year, as
they must have declind to pay back
the Brooklyn Club the draft price, OF
maybe Chubby Manser will go to
Rochester because the Brooklyn
Rochester management will wave on
Mcmillan to complete the Jersey City
Cincinn ii deal.
II the Yankee hall-players are as
good at capturing games as the ofii-
cals of the club are at grabbing
niekels, there isn't any doubt that
they will win the series with the
Giants. Some newspapers were told
that they would have to pay their way
into the games. Good business!
.Seyenty thousand dollars in cash and
checks have been returned to fans by
the National Commission representa-
tiyes handling the worlds series. That
sum represents the money sent by
Philadelphia fans for Monday and
Tuesday games According to that
this worlds series will be the record
breaker.
A plan to run two special trains to
the worlds series from Pittsburg has
been called off. owing to the inability
|. of the promoters to secure tickets for
the all-important games
%
Ben Douglass has been substituted
for Jack Smith to meet Bull Anderson
at the Reno Club, of Brooklyn, tomor-
row night This should be tough
scrap.
