Supreme Court
of Baseball"
Public and Players inclined to
Think Its Rulings Are Partial

Baseball players IN particular and
many baseball fans IN general are
prone. as rule to sneer at the ma
tlonal commission, the supreme court
Of baseball" and 70 insist that rs rul-
ings are again the players and are In
favor Of the club owners. Chatter
along tAis line has been renewed since
the commissions recent ruling that
PLAYERS traded OF by club that even
tuaily wins the pennant must have no
share whatever in tho world series re-
ceipts
'This Is in accord with tho usual
action OF the commission" said one
American league player petulantly the
other day, trying to deprive the poor
bali player OF a little money"
The truth Is that the worlds series
last fall came near developing into a
scandal for the lack OF the very rule
the national commission has Just pro-
mulgated.
Herman schaefer was traded in mid
season by Detroit to Washington for
Jim DeIehanty. schaefer missed no
possible opportunity to declare his
hope that the Tigers would win the
American league pennant. As WASH
ington had no chance even for place.
schaefer's expressions Of eager antici-
patton Of Detroits success attracted
little attention II was true. however,
that whenever the Tigers and Nation
ais FLASHED the exacting fans watched
closely the work Of Schaefer to see for
themselves whether any action OF his
was in accordance with his hope that
the Tigers would win the flag.
To Schaefer's credit Il can be said
that he was not once accused Of lay
ing down that he apparently played
as earnestly against his old teammates
as he did against the Athletics. the
Tigers nearest rivals. But it must be
admitted that the opportunity for sus-
picion was fully and freely presented.
schaefer travelled with the Tigers
back and forth between Pittsburg and
Detroit last fan and rooted faithfully
for Jennings boys and. 1t is under
stood. was given a considerable share
Of the world series receipts In recogni-
ton Of the work Herman had done to
put Detroit IN the race earlier IN the
season. Inasmuch as he could do moth
/ Ing to help the Tigers beat the Pirates
except 10 wish. advise, hope and root.
schaeferss activities in behalf Of the
team he had left attracted little at
tention.
Barbeau and Storle wero traded
also IN midseason--to the Cardinals by
the Pirates. and the assertion was made
open and aboveboard that II Plttsburg
won the National league pennant these
two players would get q share OF the
worlds series recantg
Thereupon, naturally every fan IN
the country began to examine with
critical eyes tile scores OF all the games
between the Pirates and Cardinals.
Had either Barbeau or storke made
one paIpably careless or stupid play
there would have gone up shout be-
side which the old cutlery against Hall.
Devlln and Nichols in the long ago
would have sounded like baby's lul-
laby.

Take Chances In
TrOttins Game
Neither the Trainers Nor Track
Owners Are free From Risk

May complaints aave been regis-
tered by trainers because Of the high
rate Of entrance charged by harness
racing associations. II has been stated
by the men who race horses FOR their
own money that they bear nearly the
entire burden aid encounter all the
risk.
These men claim that II they enter
in tho early closing stake races t-ey
are compelled 10 name their horses
very early in tho sprins before they
know their exact condition. In many
instances the early payments are the
largest. After taking the chance that

one things that may come up TO injure
IT'S chance In race. 1t may be In
tured in one way or Another so that
II may not be able 60 start. and the
man who pays the billa IS out all his
entrance nonvv thus FAR paid in.
While these men are right to cer-
tain extent and do take a long chance
in entering horses in stakes, still they
do not think about the association and
what risk the rrce promoters take. An
association gives but meeting Of
ave days duration GEAR, as rule. To
give that meeting a large amount OF
ground must be purchased or leased.

At meeting time the association Of
sers considerable money in stakes and
purses, and In a very few Of the class
events at least does 1t get more than
30 per cent OF the money guaranteed

suppose that rain interferes and cuts
the attendance down. small fields start
and the various sources Of revenue arc
cut down. Then who is Il that Is
taking tho chances?
It is true that the trainers and men
who own the horses are also losing OPP
portunities to make money, but at the
same time 1t does not rain every week,
and they have other chances TO race,
but the association Is down and out
It's week Of racing has been ruined, and
a big financial loss Is encountered as
q result.
While the trainers and owners OF
horses Take big chances Of losing money
in racing horses. still that ell goes with
the sport, and one who win participate
must expect to gamble with Dame
Fortune. on the other hand, the fair
est way for an association 20 act Is
TO place the heaviest part Of the stable
payments last In order that man may
take risk with an unknown horse at
a little expense early in the season and
then as the equine advances 70 increase
the amount OF entrance money.

Pitchers Have
Sign on Teams
Major Leaguers Always Have
Some Club They Invariably
vain From

There is something more than super
stition in the assertion that a big
league pitcher always finds one or more
teams that he nearly always defeats.
Just why this IS a fact Is unknown,
but II is true that some clubs, even II
the lineup is frequently changed. have
a hoodoo pitcher that they beat only
by accident
Harry Krause, the phenomenal young
left handler OF the Athletics, has habit
OF beating every team IN the league,
but he is particularly successful against
Boston.
Last season Krause shut out Boston
on ave occasions, two Of these perform
ances coming IN one series. This year
Boston and the Athletics met for the
first time in the Hub. and Mack picked
the left handler to pitch. The result was
another triumphant shutout for this
marvellous young twirler.
Krause's complete mastery over Bos-
ton probably has no parallel In base
bali. although there are other clubs
which have their goats"
For instance, Coyalesls!e. tho former
phiilie, could down Kew York II he
couldn't beat any other team in the
league. He put the Giants out Of tho
pennant running in 1909 by beating
thoin three times IN i've days and has
been successful against the same club
ever since.
Rucker Of Brooklyn IS another left
handler who Is troublesome for the
Giants and rarely fails to win his gaTnc.
So Is Brown 81 Chicago. Battling
against Mathewson, the Giants pre-
niler, Brown mas won a number Of
notable victories.
Mathewson. however. has the indian
sign on a whole lot Of teams, including
tho Phillics and Cincinnati. The Phil
lies were mighty glad that President
Fogel and Manager Doom obtained Bob
Ewing, for the latter when a member
OF the Cincinnati team constantly de-
feated the Quakers.
The Athletics have some hoodoos,
notably Powell OF st. Louis and Joss Of
Cleveland. When the Mac,z men defeat
Powell they think It worth two vic
tories. Young OF Cleveland has the
singular habit OF casting an extra in
ming hoodoo on the Athletics.
