SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

If the Cleveland club succeeds in get
ting Fielder Jones to manage its ball
team, it will have made the best move in
its history. If ever there was ball club
which needed some one to inject new
methods and life it is Cleveland. For
years this team has on paper been one of
the strongest in the league. and while it
does not loom up SO much better than
any of the teams in the second division
this year. still it has the nucleus for a
great ball team.
If some one gets hold of the Maps and
lmpresses upon the players that they can
not all be Lajoies, he will make a success
Of it. Jones is the very man to take such
a stand.
1t has always been question whether
it was not the presence of Lajoie on the
Cleveland team that was responsible for
its failures Not that Lajoie is not a
grand ball player, who gives his team his
very best efforts at all times, but because
of the influence he has over the other
players. Lajoie does everything without
an effort. The uninitiated might even be
led to believe, watching him play, that
he did not care one way or the other,
though this Is far from the truth. But
out having the ability. The result is that
the entire Cleveland team, at least in the
games played here, gives the impression
of being listless and caring little what the
outcome of the game is. Perhaps this is
an injustice to the players, but it is I'M
questionably the impression the Maps
have created here, and elsewhere for that.
and. what is more, there seems to be a
general opinion that this condition exists
because players of little ability try to do
as does I.ajoie the King.
Regardless of what Jim McAleer may
accomplish with the Nationals, he de-
serves credit for having used the proper
system to make a great ball player out
of Clyde Milan. Milan needed encourage
ment and McAleer gave it to him. From
the time that the players went into train
ing at Norfolk, everything was done to
encourage Milan. Even his teammates
were instructed to pat him on the back
and the youngster needed it, for his start
at Norfolk was none too suspicious. But
no matter what Milan did or failed to
do he was never censuerd. and the result
has been that from retiring boy he has
gained confidence in himself and is play
ing as good ball as any outfielder in the
league
There is one other player whom Nc
Aleer has made. killifer. 1t is doubtful
if any other manager would have
given the sorrell-topped youth the
in the position when the team was losing
and Killifer was doing nothing to help
it out. but McAleer believed that if given
a chance in one position Killifer would
develop. He figured that second base
was the place for Killifer, and he kept
him there, with the result that it can
now be said that any player who takes
Killifer's job will be some ball player.
If it should be the Cubs and Athletics
to play in the worlds series. the National
League representatives will surely ue in

burgess STIRS UP
A HORNETS NEST
Ell Paso Man Starts the Law
yers Talking Over Ills
Annual Address.

w. H Burgess has stirred up the law
yers of Texas, according to the Dallas
News. In his address to the Texas Bar
association as its president, at San An
gelO, Tuesday, he assailed some of the
laws of the Texas legislature and the
method of making laws by party
conventions. Says the Dallas News, in
a dispatch from San Angelo:
Figuratively speaking, Hon. William
H. Burgess of Ell Paso, retiring president
of the State Bar association, hurled a
bomb among the members of that body
at their opening session and effectually
shattered the calm which had thereto
fore prevailed among them.
President Burgess criticized the leg
islature for the steadily increasing num-
Der Of its enactments. He compared the
number of laws passed by each legisla-
, ture since 1891 with the annual value
of corn, cotton and other crops of
Texas. The cotton crop, he said. had in
creased SO per cent, but the biennial
Gro poi Texas laws shows an increase
of 278 per cent.
The president expressed the opinion
that many of the laws were passed
without due elaboration and investiga-
ton, and therefore many of them were
valueless. He said that others should
never have been passed at all, and cited
specific instances. The state had es-
CdpeQ freak IeSlSlallOn ne SAID, DOS naQ
not escaped legislation that is worse.
Among those that he placed in the cate
CORY of the latter is the blacklisting
law.
Demands for Specific Legislation.
Taking up another phase, president
Burgess deplored the growing tendency
of political conventions to incorporate
In their platforms demands for specific
legislation. In his opinion this was all
wrong; laws should be framed with
care and deliberation by men well quail
flied for the task. not by inexperienced
and poorly Informed persons assembled
during the heated days OF August for
a brief political session.
The Legislature, he declared, had seen
the growing evil and had sought to
check 1t by adopting the amendment to
the Terrell election law known as Sec.
120, which provides that no demand for
specific legislation shall be incorpor-
ated in az party platform until 1t has
been first submitted to a party primary
and has received majority of all the
votes cast therein.
