OYERWORKED MINORS ARE
UNDER GREAT HANDICAP
JENNINGS is NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER YOUNGSTERS.
Says II is Hard for New Men to Make
Good late in Season.

Marty O'Toole of Pittsburg is one Of
the few pitchers who were stars in the
minor leagues and who Instantly
achieved success i'm the major organi-
cations. And O'Toole's success is due
to the fact that when with st. Paul,
in the American association, he was
not overwOrked
"Star minor league pitchers seldom
continue their winning streak when
they get into the major organizations,
for the reason that i'm the minors they
are overworked, and they lose much
of their effectiveness when the time
comes for them To he transferred"
said Hugh Jennings recently.
when a man establishes a reputa-
tlon in the minor leagues, the manage
ment with both eyes turned to the
money end works the twirler overtime
n major league management for n fan
cy sum. and the additional advertising
means shekels to the first owners
pocket.
It iAiiiApi ifhR 90
a rule. does not take into considera-
tion the future of the pitcher, or the
club he has been sold to. The pitch
er, in turn. flushed by success, usuai-
ly pitches as often as asked. and there
have been times when the pitchers
pleaded to be sent in.
81 do not believe there has been a
major league management that has
purchased a minor league twirler this
year but what it was stipulated that
the pitcher only work twice a week
is not transferred until the pitcher Is
actually under the control of the ma
iors so the minor league management
can do as he pleases."

A. A. MACNATES
SWALLOW PILL
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION WILLING
TO ACCEPT ANY TERMS OF
NATIONAL COMMISSION
NOW.

Chicago. Sept 12.-American assoc
citation magnates at their session last
week. lost no time in refusing to take
up the fight offered by organized base
ball through the National commission
when the latter body turned down the
requests for greater privileges which
was drafted by the association and
heard by the commission on Aug. 81.
Instead the major minors swallowed
the pill and tried not to make wry
face.
Surface indications would make II
appear that the association, rather
than run the slightest risk of war. will
accept what the commission is willing
e. grant. The tart rebuff handed down
! by the commission may have left scars,
however, which will not heal so read
lily.
on the face of the returns, 1t looks
as If someone had Numbered in the
matter and that lack of foresight had
caused some loss of prestige to the as
ISOLATION in inviting such n rundown.
Before formally presenting such drastic
changes, the part of wisdom would
| have suggested that someone in the
confidence of members of the commits
sion talk over the situation and secure
some idea of what might have been
| granted rather than run the chance of
receiving Just what was received.
The association is VIGOROUSLY divid-
ed into two factions and how far this
fact may have entered into the affair
is not known. The statement has been
made i'm some quarters that the mag
mates opposed to Chivington were anx-
ious to have him placed in an en-
bGrassing position as an argument
against his recollection at the annual
meeting. This may not be true, but
the fact remains that with one-year
terms. both President Chivington Of
the association and President Lynch of
the National league must do pretty
much what they are told to do. Their
position is i'm marked contrast to that
of President Johnson of the American
league who rules with an iron hand by
virtue OF his ability as well as his
twenty-year tenure of office.
From the viewpoint of saneness, the
association did wise thing in with
drawing its petition. While its mem
bers may feel that some of the re-
quests at least were not unreasonable.
they were not serious enough to war;
rant war The time might come
when n war would seem necessary, but
to have n chance i'm a struggle against
organized baseball, the major minors
must needs present "A united front and
not a faction-ridden organization with
each faction afraid Of the double
cross.

Y. M. c. C. READY
FOR FALL Term
ACTIVITIES WILL BEGIN WITH
SMOKER SUNDAY EVENING
QUARTERS HAVE BEEN
RENOVATED.

The fall and winter activities Of the
Young Mems Catholic Club win begin
with SMOKER to be conducted next
Sunday evening. The event VIII be an
informal one. and there is little likeli-
hood of a program being arranged.
Since the club was closed for the
summer last June, the quarters have
been entirely renovated and placed in
good condition. The 0Iwling alleys
have been planed and DIED ana are now
ready for the seasons activities, iho
walls have been ,etinted. ana addi-
tonal lights have been Installed. The
lails have also been gre ,tly improved.
The officers Of the club are looking
forward to very successful and ac-
tive season. The club now has mem
bership of $50. and it Is hoped to in
crease this greatly during the next few
months. A membership campaign, to
continue through the fall months will
be inaugurated at once, and ii is like
ly that 100 or more new members will
be added. The officers for the ensuing
year are energetic workers and will
leave nothing undone to increase the
popularity of the club among tie Cath
Ollie young men of Calumet.
For the winter season Il Is likely
that bowling and card tournaments
will be arranged and there will be sre-
cial features and programs at regular

RUBE's GREAT RECORD.
Eleven Wins Out OF Twelve Game,

The II out of ~ victories credited

MATHS conquered him July Is take i'm all
of the first division opponents and
the two top teams i'm the second divi-
sion Neither the BroolSlyns nor the
Bostons have figured i'm the games, and
as these teams are seventh and eighth
respectively. credit must be given to
Vanguard for doing his work against
the strongest array Of opponents that
could be lined up against him.
Further evidence of the Rube's met
tie is found in n more elaborate study
of the games Most of them have
been hard TO win-games won by n
narrow margin by the Giants-with
tho result in doubt to the finish and
requiring the pitcher to feep his nerve

There were games which easily might
have been lost with any webbing on
Marquard's part, and therefore more

had been one sided.

holocaust.
There are seven indictments against
Harris and Blanck, the first degree
manslaughter charge being the one
selected by Assistant District Attorney
Bostwick as that on which he believes
he is most likely to win the verdict
against them.
The criminality OF the defendants is
alleged to lie i'll the conditions which
they allowed TO exist in their factory
In the Asch Building. at the time OF
the fire. 1t Is alleged that the doors
OF the factory, which swung open In
side, were locked: that tho lire escapes
were not only too few in number, but
We're so poorly constructed as to make
1t impossible for any number Of per-
sons to descend by them at ono time
that the staircases were too small to
permit rapid exit of the employees; that
too many persons were employed per
square foot OF floor space: that fire
drills were never ordered by the en-
ployers; that proper equipment for
rapidly eXtinguishing small fires was
not on hand. There arc many other
allegations also.
