The prices of cattle, hogs and
sheep have decreased wonderfully
since the election. Senator Owen,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, boasts
that it is the direct result of the
Democratic landslide and says it
portends cheaper living. What
ever the cause for the decrease
in the prices, the farmers will not
look upon it with as much exuber-
ance as does Senator Owen.-Ex-

CARDINALS TRAINING CAMP.
Team Will Train at West Baden and
at Home.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. November 23-Roger Bres-
nahan, manager of the Cardinals. sent a
special wire to this Office last night, stat
Ing that his team would do it's spring
training at West Baden, Ind, for ten
days and finish in st. Louis. 1t is sup
posed that Bresnahan intends taking the
entire squad to the springs during the
length of time mentioned in his tele-
gram, and then again it may be that only
the twirlers OF the squad will be taken.
At any rate, the question of training
camp has been settled upon. n fact which
has greatly worried both Manager Bres-
nahan and President Robson for good
many months. Shortly after the Ma
ttonal League season closed it was given
out at the Cardinals headquarters that
the team next year would train in Excel
sior Springs. The 1911 training camp for
the Cardinals had to be abandoned on
account OF the big fire which completely
DESTROYED the large hotel Of that place.
About al the men can possibly do at
the West Baden camp will be to take the
baths and put in some long and weary
hours of strenuous hiking through the
woods and over the hills. Perhaps Roger
figures this will give him a very good
matter to whip his men in shape when
once they get back on the local grounds.
Provided the weather is good here dur
ing the month Of March, as was the case
and dandy for spring training purposes.
and there will be little question that
the team will be In shape to play when
the league: season opens. II. however, the
weather should happen to be bad, and
the month OF March. as every one knows,
tire year. then Roger will have his
troubles and many Of them.

| HOW CAN PITCHERS
GET REAL CREDIT?
All Sorts Of Theories Advanced, But
All Suggestions Have
Flaws.
REVIVAL OF EARNED
RUNS WON'T DO
Twirlers on Winning Teams Sure to
Have Best Records, Though
They May Lack Ability.

One subject Of discussion during the
off season of every year is the question
of giving proper credit to the pitchers.
says w. A. Phelan. Suggestions and
schemes for so arranging the figures that
they will actually show whether the slab
men have done well Or ill are always
halfway sensible; some are n,arvels OF
elaborate jackassity, and all of them
have serious flaws when closely analysed
Ranking the pitchers by percentage Of

which gave their pitchers the support
needed to win the games. Even the
pitchers of the topnotch teams do not
get the credit duly apportioned. for many
manager sends one man against the
weaker clubs. from which he gathers a
raft Of victories, while the real pitching
star of the team is sent against the
hardest propositions, from which it is
impossible to get much better than an
even break.
The number of hits per game and per
inning recorded against each pitcher is
suggested as basis Of comparison. There
again the fellows on the topnotch teams
would get the best Of it. as they would re-
ceive keener support than those Of the los
the fielders.
Another suggestion is the revival Of the
earned run. That would hardly do. either,
both because every scorer would. have his
own idea Of an earned run. and because
the same question Of good or bad support
would have to be considered.
The number Of runs made per game
would show the efficiency OF many pitch
ers. An inspection of records made in
past years will show that some pitchers
who worked for losing teams were sue
cessful in holding their opponents to fewer
runs per battle than Nme Of the men
who were on pennant-winning clubs, and
that these clever hurlers. therefore. were
beaten only because their outfits did not
bat behind them. The same drawback of
inferior support would spoil the records
OF many pitchers, while at the same time
it will be freely admitted that the man
runs per game. while pitching for a losing
team. would have q far more impressive
record than the fellow who allowed four
runs per game while working for the
champions.
There is, as a plain fact, no way in
which to average up the pitchers in cold.
hard lgures-no way in which every cir
cumstance Of merit or dement, can be
shown. A tabulation that would con-
clus'vely demonstrate pitching skill would
have to be so long, so complex and so
far-reaching in it's ramihcations that the
fans would give it up as an impossibility
before they had read halfway through.
No. brothers. There isn't any way in
Of a pitcher. Keep the figures as they
are-they'll show how hard q man was
hit, how many games he won how many
he famed, and how many he ticketed to
first-but the judgment OF fans and EEL
low-players is about the only actual cri-
terion Of the value Of a pitcher. That
will have to remain the standard Of COM
parison for years to come.

Though the official averages will give
Sherwood Magee the honor of being the

Daredevil" Dave 4Altizer really had the
best average. but of course, it won't
count, for Dave only took part in three
games. He was at bat ten times and go,
six hits. which gives him an average OF
.6n. Dave has made so good an impress
sion with the Cincinnati fans that great
things are expected of him next spring
but IL Dave is the player of old his good

His batting. instead of being .2J4, as
reported, is .2I6, while he leads the second
baseman with an average of .9I1, having
made 400 putouts, 3S2 assists and but ~

surprise so far as Cunningham was con-
cerned. but the official figures place the
youngster in the proper light.
Ainsmith batted but .o39, and he was
last among the eighteen catcherS, who
got averages. But he had 10S assists to
his credit, which none of his rivals ex-
ceeded.

WANT HIGHER CLASSIFICATION
Two Minor Leagues Will Demand
Better Rating Next Year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, November 2S.-Ignoring of
requests made by the American Associa-
ton at previous meetings of the National
Association Of Professional Base Ball
Clubs explains the failure Of the growing
minors to have an official league repre-
sentative at the recent gathering Of the
big base ball commission in Chicago
President Thomas Livingston Of the
American Association yesterday offered
little light on the disinterested attitude
of the association toward the national
body.
The surprise Of the annual meeting last
week was the failure Of the American
Association to even put in a request for
the Redistribution which would raise the
american Association and Eastern League
into a class by themselves to be rated
as IA organizations. This had been given
out as one OF the points which would
surely bring up a heated fight during the
course of the gathering: the threatened
the simple reason that the American
Association magnates regarded the re-
quest as hopeless and preferred to wait.
The willingness to remain under the
same classification for another year at
least is explained by the fact that next
fall the national agreement under which
the minor league clubs operate expires.
n was intinated yesterday by the Amer
lean Association head that the respective
club owners would consider long time
in 1911 before entering another compact
under the present arrangement.
No definite line OF attack has been
mapped out yet. but indications point
toward but one thing-a combination of
the Eastern League and American AS
ISOLATION in demand for raise in the
classification lists.

LOCKE WILL NOT LEAD
DOVES NEXT SEASON
Pirates Secretary Says He
Won't Leave Pitts

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG, November 23.-William H.
Locke, secretary of the Pittsburg Pirates.
who has been mentioned as the Doves
next president, has fatty refused to di-
rect the Boston club next season. John
P Harris. the Pittsburg magnate, who
bought up John S. C. Dovey's controlling
stock and is in q position to make a
choice of an executive. will have to seek
some one else to intrust with the des-
TIMES of the Hub club. Locke yesterday
denied that he has been rendered the po-
sition, and, according to his own state
ment. he would not accept the honor even
if he We're approached.
Ever since Vice President Harris gained
the majority stock control in the club he
has been after a man familiar with the
inner workings of club to replace the
present incumbent Dewey. 1t is now an
established fact-that~Hir. Dewey will re-
sign from his position at the annual meet
ing of the Boston stockholders In the Hub
city December-G.
AS yet only one man has been definitely
named as having an excellent chance OF
presiding over the affairs OF the Doves
next season. That man is John NJ. NORM,
director of public safety of Pittsburg
Mr.. NORM has been conducting silent
boom in his home town for the office OF
president Of the National League. He
has been offered the presidency Of the
Doves, and as yet he has failed to decline
the position.
Mr. Locke is sorely put out on account
of his name being coupled with the place,
and he says that 1t was unauthorized.
When queried on the matter he said:
Nothing has been said to me Of the
matter OF course I would feel honored
were such an offer made to me. but I
would be obliged to refuse, for 1t would
take. more than the pres dency to take
me away from the Pittsburg club"

LYNCH WILL BE ELECTED.
Hermann Says He Will Stand B.
Former Umpire King.
special Dispatch to TIE Star.

special DlSpdtcu 10 lue StdT.
CINCINNATI. Ohio. November o.
That president Thomas j. Lynch Of the
National League is to be reelected is the
word that goes out of Cincinnati from the
best informed local men who know the
situation. President Hermann has said
that he is for Lynch, that Lynch has
made bully good president. and that
such ought always to. be given a second
term by the league.
II want it understood that I am for
Lynch. and that will be for him till the
last ditch has been abandoned" said
President Hermann. ANY man who
knows the National League SO we'll as
Lynch does and who tries so hard to get
1t lined up right should be given the
credit of a second election and allowed to
work out his destiny with the help. rather
than against the efforts. of the mag
nates."
1t is learned in Cincinnati that President
Dreyfuss will be for Lynch also, as he
has always stood with Hermann in the
fighting in the league organization. and is
expected to do the same this year. Drey-
fuss fellow-townsman, John P. Harris,
owner of the Boston club, will vote the
same way
President John T. Brush of the New
York Giants. the man who named Lynch
almost a year ago. and who was called
in by the belligerent magnates to quiet
the fracas, will also vote for the presi-
dent. With these four men for: him,
Lynch cannot be ousted.
At the last general meeting Of the direct
ors OF the league a motion was placed
upon the books as future law that any
time four directors wished to keep a
president at the head Of the league they
could do so. This is in the face of the
fact that the four opposing magnates
wish him thrown out. In other words,
four votes will be equal to a reelection.

Texas is growing so fast that its cities

pitchers. 1t doesn't pay to keep them on
the bench too long.
Tom Clarke is one performer who hits
much better in fast company than in the

hits along the .270 mark

If Harry Smith goes out Of the National

Englishmen left in the fast company.
Smith and Al Shaw. also catcher. were
the only EngliShmen in the upper circles,
and Shaw dropped out some time ago.
Thomas j. Lynch is practically sure of
reelection to the presidency of the Ma
tional League. The New York. Cincinnati.
Pittsburs and Boston clubs will vote for
him. and if he has no other supporters he
will hold over as chief executive for an
other year by reason of ruling made
last winter that four of the eight votes
would keep him in office. Messrs. Herr
mann, Brush and Dreyfuss want to make
Lynchs term Of Office five years instead
of one, and they are going to fight hard
for such a change in the leagues consti-
tuition. This may cause some friction, but
it is generally believed that Lynch will
finally carry the day and will receive
