RECEIVE SALARY
BUT WON'T PLAY
Browns President Refuses To Waive
Claim On Ness and Smaller, But
Navin Will Keep Them.

Just because President Hedges OF
the St Louis American league club.
has so decreed, Detroit will keep John
Ness and Walter Smaller, substitute
first sacker and outfielder, respective
ly, on the bench for the remainder OF
the big-league season, paying them a
salary just to keep someone else from
getting them.
Hedges has refused to waive claim
to both of these Tiger Kittens. He
rightfully believes that they would
strengthen the Tigers.
Ness has been going great guns In
the practice sessions at Bennett Park,
hitting the ball at clip that COM
pares very favorably with the record
breaking work OF Gainor, who beat
him out in the race for the bag.
Shaller's great work on the Yannigan
trip caused Hedges to be tipped of
by several minor-league magnates.
Both men will be retained by Detroit,
as il is figured that they are worth
easily twice the waiver price OF ST.
500.
Hedges got wise to the Detroit
players I'm a visit here a week ago.
His club Is the only one to refuse to
waive.
President Navin believes 1t would
be a good thing to raise the waiver
price to $1,000. He thinks 1t is ridicu-
lous that he has to offer two good
players for sale at this price before
placing them in some minor league
for another year OF seasoning.

was found in the obviously hostile
umpiring.
Are the Tigers winning too many
ball games TO suit the arbitrators
Il is surely a disquieting thought
BY this il must not be inferred that
there is the slightest danger OF any
deliberate unfairness on the part OF
the umpires. Such condition would
be almost unparalleled in baseball
and would produce nothing less than
out and out scandal.
There is chance. however, that
the umpires will take the field with
the feeling that the Tigers should get
nothing more than their strict rights
In the breaks of the game. Many a
decision is so close that IL can be
made either way. When an umpire
cherishes a feeling of latent hostility
TO club, IL is pretty safe 10 predict
that the clubs rival will get most of
the close ones, and, now and then.

japan So Wild Over Baseball that the
! Mikado Has Had to Stop Match Games

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. May A.
Baseball has become the ma
tional game OF Japan, declares Prof.
II. Takasugi, professor In English OF
Waseda university, Tokyo, and man
ager OF the Tokyo baseball team, just
arrived In America for a tour of the
country as guests OF the University OF
Chicago.
Japan has developed, along with
baseball, a real baseball fan, as the
enthusiast is called in this wonder

tacled Nipponese professor, with q
broad grin. a.,
The Waseda aggregation or Ola
mond huskies was engaged in unmer-
cifully sloughing the local japanese
club and the bleachers were bearing
out what the professor was saying.
"You see?" he said. Those are
Japanese fans. Some OF them under
stand the game and some OF them
don't. But all of them are excited
over IL. About 10 years ago, when
our people first saw baseball there
was no cheering. But soon the col.
lege boys began TO learn roofing,
They became fans Ii is an easy
step from roofing TO 'rioting. Just
one letter" And the professor paused
to enjoy the witticism.
Well after the roofing, In our IN
games, there soon came
what you might call rioting. Base
hall bats were swung at heads In
stead of baseball and the Mikado
stopped intercollegiate contests. me
colleges may still have their teams
but they can't play together until the
nlayers and the fans learn where
roofing stops and 'rioting begins
You see.
Have the Japanese seriously con.
sidered the financial possibilities Oh
the gamer Takasugi was asked.
you mean professional play ana
the formation of great leagues? NO.
There have been no steps In thal
direction yet In Japan the govern
ment allows no charges TO spectators.
Then again, our players have not
reached the stage OF perfecuon IN
their play seen In the American pro-
fessional.
yet you see the Waseda young
men play we'll. They are close stu

The Tigers are the wonders OF
baseball this year.
Playing almost an even split on the
