TICKET "SCALP|NG"
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 ex-
changed with +. Il. Johnson. president
of the American League, relative to the
alleged scalping of tickets to the world S
series Of base ball games, and particular
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
tickets DO placed In the control OF the
officials Of the two contending clubs II
anything went amtss they would be held
accountable. This position was taken for
the reason that i 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
ptOnsnip 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 II
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. B. JOHNSON"
To this Mr.. Brush today replied:
You have information | 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 its
own case would be like asking the
national commission to investigate its
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.

SYNDICATE BASE BALL
TO Be ELIMINATED
National Commission to Take Action
Against Existing
Evil.
BAN AND GARRY
HAVE NEW EVIDENCE
Spalding to Take Lively Interest in
Coming Crusade. 1t
Is Hinted.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, November 4 Syndicate
base ball. which has threatened the life
of the national game for years, will
be attacked with unusual viGor by the
national base bali commission this win
ter. August Hermann, chairman. and
Ban Johnson are determined to inaugu-
rate a policy that will drive syndicate
ownership from the sport Thomas j.
Lynch, the other member OF the com
mission. always conservative, has not
yet declared himself on this point, but
his friends say he will be found in line
with Hermann and Johnson when the
proper time comes.
1t appears that evidence to prove that
syndicate base ball actually exists in
one of the major leagues has been dis
covered Unexpectedly and that, armed
with ii, the commission will attempt to
force certain persons to sell out. rather
than be subjected to the limelight. If
the commission can furnish proof that
one man controls two clubs or that one
club is financially interested In another
1t Is certainty that an upheaval VIII
follow. While syndicate ownership so
far has not resulted in suspicious ma
nipulation on the ball field. the commits
sion, ii is said, is opposed to its exist
ence. if only for the reason that In due
time the confidence of the base ball pub
lie may be shaken il the practice is al
lowed to continue.
A. G. Spalding, for nearly forty years a
real champion of honest base ball, always
has combated syndicate methods. Yet a.
one time he was compelled to own stock
in both the Chicago and New York clubs
by force of circumstances 1t was in the
Brotherhood year, 1890, that MI. Spaldine
helped to subscribe a war fund to KEEP
the New York National League club alive
receiving as collateral a certain amount OF
stock But Mr.. Spalding was the first to
realize that dual base ball holdings were
detrimental to the sport, and as soon as
possible he disposed of his New York
stock. His example was followed by A.
III. Soden Of the Boston club, +. A. Abel
OF the Brooklyn club and A. j. Reach OF
the Philadelphia club. all of whom had
come to the assistance of the Giants
owner in days of conflicting dates and
heavy losses.
Mr.. Spaldng. though no longer a club
owner, remains loyal to his first love. the
intends to take hand In the commits
sion's crusade against syndicate ball. Mr..
Spalding knows much about the methods
in vogue, and when he came east to at
tend the worlds series he was Informed
Of certain matters that will be made pub
lie in the course of time. AS a result, he
probably will urge Messrs. Hermann and
johnson to conduct a thorough investiga-
ton. Base ball men on the inside say
that the commissions policy will receive
the moral support of large majority Of

SADIE OF this kind to begin. II the COM
mission is successful, therefore, it is be-
lieved that ii will be many years before

to drastic measures to reduce last spring,
but he is sure not to report top heavy next
spring. He was taught 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 ne
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 sucn
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 natlonai
commission has itself to blame.
Heretofore the commission has an
nounced on numerous occasions that II
would take charge of the sale OF tickets
in order to prevent speculation, and vet
in the recent series the clubs were al
lowed to handle their own tickets. The
commission had made rule which placed
it in charge of the ticket sale. and had
no right to relinquish this duty TO the
clubs. and If an investigation of the scan
dial is instituted it should be thorough
and the guilty parties. IL any there be.
should be punished or driven out of base
ball.
The defeat Of the Cardinals by the
Browns and the Cubs by the SoX was
perhaps one of the greatest upsets In
base ball The two National League
teams finished much higher in their
league than did their eonquerors in the
American League race. and yet both suf-
fered humiiating defeat at the hands of
teams which We're not supposed to be In
their class. In st. Louis il was cOnSid-
cred joke to allow the Browns to play
the Cardinals. and the Browns victory
popularity they once enjoyed in ST. Louis.
Though Hedges team scored a signal
victory over its rivals. there is but lit
tie hope of that team finishing better
than eighth in the next American League
campaign.
Not so with the Sox. however. Under
Jimmy Callahan's management there is a
good chance for them 10 gain several po-
sitions in the race. for there is no ques-
ton that the nucleus for a good team has
been turned over to Callahan
Maryland is one of the few states in
the Union where racing with open betting
is tolerated. and 1t would seem that every
effort be made by those most interested
in the sport to protect the game. Legiti-
mate race meetings, when conducted on
high planes do not invite adverse legis-
lation, which has wiped out the sport In
many places. A state which allows rae
ing. as does Maryland. should have means
of regulating 1t. and there should be bar
riers placed to keep out any sort of a
meeting which savors of the hippodrome.

The captaincy Of the Athletics is moth
ing more than an honorary position. and
1t 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 a figure
the captain cuts. for Murphy will hardy
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 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
chance of making good, and Long had
both of these qualifications. But he was
unfortunate in that his health failed him
from the very moment he reported here.
Long, however, did not complain and
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
While nothing definite is known con-
corning Griffiths 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.

weeks to get the local players ready
There are none who need a lot Of work
