USE 10000 BALLS A YEAR.

Twenty thousand balls are
used annually by the major
league clubs during the training
trips and championship cam
paigns. John A. Heydler, Sec
retary.treasurer of the National
league, reports that last year
the teams in his organization
called on the manufacturers to
furnish them with 500 dozen
spheres. The Cincinnati Reds
used the most balls, and then
came the Pittsburg Pirates, the
Chicago Cubs, the New York
Giants, the Phillies, the Boston
Doves, the Brooklyn Superbas
and the st. Louis Cardinals.
Each ball costs probably 80
cents. The price of the spheres
varies from year to year.

LARRY M'lEAN'S CASE
S1IRS BASEBALL FANS
CINCINNATI CATCHER RESlGNo
AFTER BEING SUSPENDED, BUT
CAN'T PLAY ELSEWHERE,
SAYS GRIFFITH.

Just what President Hermann and
Manager Griffith are going to do about
the case of Larry Mclean. the star
catcher Of the Reds, is a question In
(which many fans are Interested.
An odd situation has arisen over the
Mclean case. Griffith suspended Nc.
Lean for infractio1s Of the club rules
and then big Larry turned around and
resigned. Griffith accepted the resigna-
ton. This caused stir in the base
ball world, for no team ever lets
player get away by resigning. Then
1t was explained that the resignation
didn't count; that Mclean still be-
longs to the Cincinnati team and can't
play any place else even though the
manager did accept his resignation.
Griffith thinks, SO it is reported, that
Ia years lay-off would do Mclean good.
He says the big catcher is disturbing
element; that he has another catcher
who is equally as good anyway and
