"A LII the manager Oh any team In
kA the Eastern League has to do
now to save his team from de-
feat that is impending is to play a man
on whom a major league club has not
obtained the necessary Wavers. 1t
seems incredible that John Camel was
ignorant of the fact that the necessary
waivers had not been obtaired, though
1t is not impossible. 1t seems to the
writer that one of the first things an
Eastern League manager should ask
in a case like the Mcmillan affair is
whether he is properly waived on.
Take Joe McGinnity, for instance.
The Giants sent him Pitcher Parsons.
The Tiger owner paid the young
pitchers board bill for several days,
pending the obtaining of the necessary
waivers The Iron Man wouldn't
even put him in uniform. Maybe
Rochester didn't know that the player
was ineligible, but the writer cannot
see the justice of decision that takes
,,sswty from Toronto and Montreal, per-
fectly innocent parties their victories.
Why are those innocent teams pun
ished as much as the guilty who rlead
ignorance of the facts in the case?
Rochester should be punished for its
carelesSness in not finding out about
the ineligibility of Mcmillan, If they
didn't wifllly play him. Rochester
has been punished so severely that they
are now but seven points behind New
ark, while they were twelve points be-
hind before the decision. That makes
the decision ridiculous. All the games
should have been losses for Rochester.
A protest to the board of directors is
now in order in this case.
During the Royal Tiger series just
closed each of the three games dragged
out fearfully, due to the dilatory tac-
tics of the Royals when\ coming to Dat
The Tigers were right on the job most
of the time, and, as usual. generally
had two men lined up ready to go to
bat. but the Royals! Every inning
Messrs. Stafford and Finneran were
right on the job, but a few fines i'm
posed would make them sit up and
take notice. To their credit it may be
said the Hustlers are not hustlers in
name only P. r. Powers should in
struct his men to fine the players Tor
such work.
Larry Sutton's new find, T. Percy
Dalton. who for the Superbas made
five hits off Matty the other day, IS
already entrelched in the hearts Of
big league scri]oes. Larry is certainly
the "Piclxer of Live Ones"
There is talk CT having open air box
ing matches for the summer. Better
go slowly Messrs. Promoters.

Wish that Newark fan who COM
planned about the "too much McGin-
ent at yesterdays game He must re-
member that good thing is joy for
ever, as well as a thing of beauty and
YOU. can't mention it too often.

Dear Sdr--A week ago it was an
nounced at the Club Vendome on the
occasion of the bout between Burns
and Baldwin that straight Marquis of
Queensbalry rules would govern the
contest, the men protecting themselves
at all times" Then again Tuesday night
before the Murphy and Hurley bout
the announcement was straight Mar
auis," ETC., "the men breaking clean"
Now in which of the two bouts was the
straight Marquis of Queensbury" rules
observed? Not in either case, and the
club would do we'll to omit all reference
to our dearly beloved marquis. But

explanation in the STAR. w. ". S.
