TICKET "SCALP|NC"
LETTERS MADE PUBLIC
President Brush of Giants
Gives Out Communications
With Ban Johnson.

CHICAGO. November 4.-President John
T. Brush Of the New York National
League base ball club last night gave out
copies of very pointed letters he had cx-
changed with E. Il. Johnson. president
of the American League, relative to the
alleged scalping Of tickets to the world S
ly relating to the alleged culpability Of
the New York National League team in
the matter.
President Johnson's letter to Mr.. Brush,
which was an answer to a communica-
ton demanding an investigation Of rumors
Of collision between the New York club
and the scalpers, Is as follows:
when the subject Of handling the
worlds series this fall confronted the
commission 1 suggested that the sale Of
officials Of the two contending clubs. II
anything went amiss they would be held
accountable. This position was taken for
the reason that / thought the clubs
were better informed and equipped to
meet local conditions and could cater
chiefly to those who had been their
main support during the regular cham
ptOnship season.
"A number of leading New York
papers insist that there should be an
Investigation. 1t appears to me you are
most vitality interested in this matter
and should court an inquiry. If there
has been any wrongdOing some one in
your employ has been culpable, and It
devolves upon you personally to investi-
gate The national commission probably
would have much difficulty in getting
at the facts. Our chief aim is to pro-
tect the public from graft. and we
should work together Tor that purpose.
Respectfully, b. i. JOHNSON
To this Mr.. Brush today replied:
You have information l do not pos
sess, which gives you an advantage in
developing the facts. To ask the New
York club to investigate itself and sit
in judgment as judge and jury upon it's
own case would be like asking the
national commission to investigate It's
own failure to suppress the iniquity of
ticket scalping In New York and Phila-
delphia If 1t knew how and had the
power and knew that the evil was be-
| ing done.
I'm saying this, no offense to the
national commission is intended. Re-
spectfully. JOHN, T. BRUSH.

NEW YORK, November 4.-John DAILY.
former champion three-cushion billiard
player, fairly exuded forfeits and chal-
lenges yesterday. First he visited the
Brunswick-Balk Collender Company and
deposited 500 as guarantee of good

his preference being Alfredo De Orc. who
recently won the title away from him.
He waved aside the proposition of chai-
longing for the title and Lambert trophy.
because he insists on the longer match
and is eager to give away few points.
To emphasize his desire to lure De
Orc into the meeting DAILY next visited

sition. De Orc is away from the city

Revive President Herrmann's Scheme of
1nterleague Series to Decide
Worlds Title.

NEW YORK, November 4.-The little
unpleasant features Of the late worlds
series may result In permanent good to
base ball. So many scandals and near
scandals have marred the worlds cham
pionship competitions of the past that
magnates generally have soured on the
classic as it is now conducted. Accord
ing to very high authorities in New
York, the present system of determining
the champion Of all base ball is likely to
be thrown into the discard before the
winter rolls around.
scheme which Augusi Hermann.
chairman of the national conf issiCn, has
had in mind for the past several years
seems the most natural solution of the
problem. In the first place, Hermann
proposition is absolutely fair; in the sec
ond place, 1t would eliminate all posi-
bility of the weaker club winning through
a fiuke, and more important still. IL would
nail forever and aye all chance of ticket
speculation. The scheme is to have every
team in the major leagues have q chance
at the title and a share of the spells, for
every American League club would meet
every National League club both on Its
own ground and that of its rival. Cities
like Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Detroit and
Washington, which are represented in
only one league, would have a -chance to
witness in action every aggregation of
the two select circuits.

to drastic measures to reduce last spring,
but he Is sure not to report top heavy next
spring. He was taught a lesson by his
experience with the rubber shirt. There
is no doubt that Cunningham came near
putting himself out of the big league by
reason Of his poor condition when he re-
ported, for in order to get to weight he
was forced to do SO much work that he
was weak and nervous when the season
opened. This winter Cunny proposes to
keep up a regular course Of exercise in
the hope that he will be able to report
within few pounds of playing weight.
After every world series there are
threats of understanding Investigations,
and yet there Is not an instance on record
where any action has been taken In such
matters by the national commission
Where the demand for seats Is so much
greater than the supply there Is always
going to be trouble and insinuations. II
may be that there was something wrong
with the disposition of tickets in New
York. but if that be true the national
commission has itself to blame.
Heretofore the commission has an

BY J. ED GRILLo.

The captaincy Of the Athletics is moth
ing more than an honorary position, and
II would not make the slightest differ
ence which one of his players Connie
Mack appointed to the place. Just how
important a part the captain plays on
that team was demonstrated during the
past season, when Harry Davis. who had
the title, spent most Of his time on the
bench. from where Mack, of course, rules
matters. Davis absence from the field.
however. did not prove handicap to the
champions, who went right on winning
penants. The very fact that Danny Muir
ply. an outfielder. was appointed to sue
coed Davis shows how much of figure
the captain cuts. for Murphy will haroiy
be in a position to do much directing
or suggesting from his position in deep
right field. But custom has made it nee
essary to have a captain, and Connie
Mack is not the one to upset tradition.
OF course it is generally supposed that
the captain takes charge Of the team on
the field, and yet when the fact Is re-
membered that Davis was on the bench
most of last season it would seem that
the Athletics ran loose during the greater
part of the campaign.
On his showing with the Nationals this
fall there was no reason for believing
that Scout Kahoe had picked UP a dia-
mond in the rough when he corralled Tom
Long, and, yet who knows what this
youngster may develop into with proper
handling. A player who has speed and
good stand at the plate always stands
a chance Of making good, and Long had
both of these qualifications. But he was
unfortunate in that mis- health failed him
from the very moment he reported here.
Long, however. did not complain. and
went along doing the best he could 1t
develops, however, that he was under a
physicians care most of the time that he
was here, and naturally was not fit to
give a good account of himself. There
may be a lot of difference In this player
when he reports here in the spring.
corning Griffith's intentions regarding the
training of the team next spring, it is
safe guess that he will not take his
players to any extreme southern point to
do their preliminary work. In fact. while
some of the players will be sent to Hot
Springs for a couple of weeks early in the
spring, and perhaps all of them will go
to some other resort for a short STAY
most OF the training will be done right
here at home. where the players can be-
come acquainted by the time the season
opens
1t should not require but a couple of
weeks to get the local players ready.
There are none who need lot OF work
