There's a strong-armed writer at

This fact was dispatched broadcast
immediately Robert Lee Hedges,

Harry Nelly,

Detroit, Mich.
Never said four words to Living
stone In my life. The club is not
for sale. K l. HEDGES.
Somebody's trying awfully hard to
break in on the national pastime.
There must be something doing where
so many words are being spilled. O1
course, q new league may not develop
at once. but IL they talk long enough
and loud enough somebody with
bale of money will come to the front,
the players will be talked over and
there will be another baseball war.
Not wishing our friends, the pres
ent magnates. any hard luck, we'd ike
to see another league. The more
leagues the more sporting news, and
the more sporting news the softer
lob We land. The advent OF the Amer
lean league helped everyone, includ-
ing the magnates of the old National,
although they could not see 1t at that
time
The men who start third major
league and put clubs in towns like
Cleveland, Pittsburg and Detroit, are
riding for a big fall. They will have
to do business in New York, for, after
all, much as we In the west hate to
admit 1t, things sort of revolve
around the metropolis. Close scrutiny
of attendance figures, profits and
losses In Cleveland Pfttsburg and
Detroit certainly would dampen
the ardor of the most enthusiastic
baseball promoter.
We fail to see how these three
cities, at least, would support two
clubs. It might be that the older or
ganization would be the one to go
under, It all depending upon which
league secured the best players. The
professional baseball player is out for
the money Just the same as the rest
of us. He owes the magnate moth
ing, he has worked for every cent he
received. In some cases, not includ-
ing Detroit, the player has labored
for a whole lot more than ever was
contained in his pay envelope.
The stop put on the all-star tour Is
one of the little things which will do
more than anything else to create
among the players. The
men feel they should be permitted to
go out and make any easy money
they can. The trip will fail and fail
utterly, because no National agree
ment club can allow the use OF its
grounds under the ruling Of the short
sighted commission. but 1t never
would have failed because the com
mission refused TO allow the players
10 participate. We believe the men
would have gone anyway, and the
magnates would have approached the
commission on hands and knees to get
them reinstated just like Charles Muir
ply of Chicago did when John King
made up his mind to play again.
