TRADES KEPT SECRET.
Newspapers Not Taken Into Conf
deuce by Baseball Managers,

The premature publication OF an in
tended baseball sale has killed off many
a prospective deal. Such a thing recently
deprived the Cleveland club of one Of the
grandest little ball players in the coun-
try. The big deals in baseball are made
in secrecy. for it does not pay to take
the baseball fans into the confidence Of
business managers. For an example. what
would the Boston fans have done to
John J. Taylor last winter had he an
nounced that he was going TO make the
sale of Cy Young to the Cleveland club
He would have been mObbed by the fans
of his own town, while petitions galore
would have been circulated for the reten-
ton OF the veteran pitcher. II Is also
just likely that the American League
would have tried 10 step I'm and prevent
the sale, but no one knew anything about
it but John l. Taylor Fred Lake. and
Charles Somers. Even Business Manager
Barnard, OF the Cleveland club, was not
taken into the secret With Young in the
Cleveland camp it looked Ike clnch for
a pennant in Cleveland. Old Cy did what
was expected of him, but the others took

UMPIRE PULLS A GOOD ONE
Novel Ruling by Arbiter in the
Eastern League.
Ryron Calls Man Out for 'sVOcaI Ia
reference" and League
SustainE Him.

Bin Byron, a Detroit man. who UNI
pired in the Eastern League last sea
son. had a most peculiar decision to make
last summer. according 10 the story told
by Paul Bruske, of the Detroit Times
II took place at Toronto. with Newark
the opposing team.
It was a very close combat and New
ark. by a lively batting rally in the clos
ing stages was in a place where hit
would probably turn defeat into victory.
Two were out, and the batter raised a
high foul within the easy reach Of both
the Toronto catcher and third baseman.
Both started for the ball. but the third
basemsn drew back. as IS customary, 70
let the catcher make the clutch.
Just as the bail was nearing the ground
the Newark coacher AT third base
stamped his feet with avldlty and yelled
Get out of the way; I got it" The
catcher backed away and the BAH fell
on the Dominion OF Canada
Great glee broke out among the New
ark contingent who seemed apparently
to conclude that the strategy Of the
coacher had won the batsman another
chance to connect. But they reckoned
without Mr.. Byron.
"Batter-r-r out.' yelled the imp.
Manager Joe McGinnity, Of the New
ark Club. led his entire team out on the
7 field in rush for Byron. who stood his
( ground with calm and confidence.
Flows that" inquired McGnnity.
I said the man was out, replied Mr
/ Byron.
But the ball hit the ground; why,
/ pobody even touched it,"
Il say he's out" replied Byron with a
suggestion OF peeve In his dulcet tones.
Well, how IN the name Of Spaldlng' S
Guide can you dope It that way?'
! Hes out on interference"
( This set McGinnity fairly crazy, and he
/ frothed at the mouth. But there
wasn't a man within ten feet Of Mitchell
when ne backed away" he screamed
Hes out on vocal interference; get
into the field and finish the game" And
| Byron pulled his watch
/ There was nothing else for McGinnity
10 do then, but he hot-footed from tbs
grounds to telegraph Office, where h5
indited a hot dispatch to President Pow
ers. protesting the game on what he al
( legged a most high-handed and erroneous
ruling.
The league took a vote on the game
before the season was over. for Newark
was then within az inch or two Of thc
! pennant. And the league voted 70 sus
tain the decision OF the umpire.
