danced around the bases yesterday, not
so gracefully. perhaps, but with plenty
of speed and ginger.
The game was won by the ALMA
tionals with a score of to 9, after one
hour and three minutes of play for the
fun nine innings. Tom Hughes and
Walker pitched a few innings each. The
lanky one from Minneapolis has plenty
of steam bottled up, but was afraid TO
let out much of it, as the rain last
Saturday soaked him while returning
from Majestic Park. and his shoulder
is little sore. He will nurse it care
fully until the weather gets considera bI y
warmer. Dixie Walker and Walter
Johnson each batted out a home run.
Johnson's hit was the longest one he
ever made in his life, he says, and II
looks as if Walter was slated in ad-
vance for a healthy batting average
this year. Conroy and Mcbride. who
danced divinely at the colonial ball,
each batted a two-bagger. The game
yesterday enlivened the entire baseball
colony. SChaefer and Milan were also
out in uniform.

CONF F|DENCE GROWS
IN ROB ROY MACKEy
Wrestler's Victory Last Night
Makes Him Surer of
Joe Turner.

More confidence is being placed in Rob
Roy Mackey anent his coming match
with Joe Turner by those who saw him
win his handicap bout with Frank
Lynch at the National Guard Gymna-
sium last night.
Lynch had agreed to throw Mackey
within an hour and during that period
of the time the Baltimore grappler did
not have the semblanCe of a chance TO
throw the Washington man. In fact.
Mackey was in such good form that
he kept his opponent working all the
time and in many instances was dan
gerous aggresSor. Mackey was out
weighed, but his experience and knOwl-
edge Of the game stood him in good
stead when Lynch pressed him close.
In the preIiminaries, Frank Zeraga
threw Greek George with hammerlOCk
and scissors hold in sixteen minutes and
forty seconds. Tho bout between Willie
OBrien and Joe Rose was forfeited to
the latter, as O'Brien was in too poor a
physical condition for Referee O'Connor
to allow the match to proceed 1t is
likely that the two will meet again.
On behalf Of Jim Prokos, of Boston.
John Poul challenged the winner of the
main bout for a finish match.

Something more than rules or regu-
lations Is necessary to guide the school-
boy in the path Of uprightnesS IN his
sports. What is needed is teaching:
teaching that will cause him to regard
his conduct in the athletic arena as
quite as much a part Of his character
as all his daily actions are and that
triCkery and subterfuge do not COnsti-
tute good sportsmanship. If a boy is
ineligtble-is a profesSional-he should

teammates Of their medals and the
school of a trophy that might have
adorned its walls with credit.
Spirit of Honesty.
IT know there is not a high school
or an elementary school, club, or COL
lege in this great country that would
knowingly permit ineligible boys to
compete on its team. They are, how
ever, allowed to come in and play be-
cause, before the tournament or games
start, no attempt has been made to in
still into these that desire to make the
team or to represent the school, that
spirit of honesty which would force the

We're brought up along the right lines of
honest sport there would be no trouble.
1t is no disgrace to be an ineligible boy;
it is no disgrace to be a professional.
But the boys should be taught that they
cannot play for money one day and as
amateurs the next day. They must
choose which course they will pursue

TOO MUCH MONEY
NOT YET JOHNSON'S
American League President
Not Getting Ninth of
Surplus Profits.
WORTH AS MUCH
AS CHARLEY SCHWAB
But Comiskey's Suggestion Was
Not Adopted AS Many Hoped
1t Would Be.

Had there been any truth in the re-
port that the American League intend
ed to turn over one-ninth of the profits
to President Johnson, in recognition OF
his great services to the organization.
he would eventually receive a salary
OF 100000 year.
AS a plain matter Of fact, the sug-
gestion that was made by Charley
Gomiskey provided for no such thing.
For every person who pays to see an
American League game, NJ cents are
sent TO the president TO be put in the
league treasury, and from that revenue
Johnson pays all expenses or running
the league, his own salary, those of the
umplres, and ali the travelling and in
Cidental expenses.
In recent years this income has pro-
duced surplus, which last December
amounted to $4,000. This amount was
divided equally among the eight clubs,
each receiving a check for 5000.
COmiskey'S suggestion was that the
surplus be divided into nine parts, max
ing johnson the recipient of one part
W nile this was not done, several OF the
magnates favored it. There IS no Ques-
ton that Johnson is worth as much to
the American League as Schwab or
Corey TO the Steel Corporation, or as
institutions they manage, and the $4,000
salary the American League leader now
receives is by no means excessive.
johnson organized the American
League ana developed II to point
where it has oUtstripped the parent
organization. The American League
cannot do too much for Johnson.
Ted Sullivan became purple with SUD
pressed merriment and Indignation when
somebody suggested that the signal
detectives of today could have read the
signs of the players of twenty years
ago so easily that the pitchers would
have been hit all over the lot
Yes, indeed" said Ted with one of
his most sarcastic grins. 1T would
have been just like reading the wooden
letters of the alphabet TO make out the
signals of bOneheads like Mike Kelly,
Buck Ewing, Charley Snyder, Charley
Bennet, and Mouse" GiIligan. And
just as soon as the signals had been
made out il would have been as simple
as hitting the Washington Monument
with a fishpOle to have landed on the
curves of those foolish young pitchers,
Charley RadbOurne, John Garrison,
Tim Keefe, Ferguson, and some others
of the same silly class. Yes, yes, it
would have been a shame to do it
But there is one point of difference
between the signal men of today and
of yore. The old-timers didn't have TO
steal to the ball grounds in the dark of
the moon and hide their signals under
the home plate like some of the brainy
youths of the present.

know excessive cachinnation induces

Charley Smith Talks.

Larry Lajoie is hurting his batting
average each year, according to Charley
Smith, the old Washington pitcher, by
hitting al bad balls.
Larry would hit fiftv points higher
If he waited for good balls" says Smith.
Charley has another interesting theory.
He believes Sam Crawford is the hard
est batter in the American League TO
pitch to. That has been his experience.
1t seems to me that Larry makes up
his mind to hit a certain ball and that 5
The one he swings at, no matter if it,
nigh, low, inside or outside" said
Charley.
There's no telling how many more
hits Larry would make if he waited and
hit at only the good ones. He is one
of the few players who can hit bad
balls. 1t stands TO reason he could hit
good balls better. Another thing, he
would worry the pitcher more. L know
from experience.
W. don't care much whether we get the
ball over the plate or not. BY waiting,
Larry could make the pitcher put the
ball over.
Crawford waits, and that's why he
is harder to pitch TO than Larry. Sam
does not make as many hits as Larry,
but he is the greatest hitter i'll the
league. He hits more balls suuarely
than any other batter.
when a batter hits line drive you
know he has met the ball squarely
Crawford hits more line drives than any
player in the league. And he isn't lucky
\ lot OF the balls he hits hardest go
straight into some fielder's hands.
Crawford makes a pitcher pitch. He
gets the pitcher in a hole, then hits
the ball when it comes over. There is
not much chance Of fooling Sam He
doesn't guess. He takes a look and
then swings"

James L. Sullivan, secretary OF the

an article for Teacher and Home, en-.
titled what is Wrong With Scholas-
tic Athletics" He says:
THE whole situation convinces me
that there is something absolutely
wrong with our present educational
system. failing as it does to instill in
to the boys high and lofty ideals as
standards that shall extend into their
work in athletics.
"The trouble is that we have de-
voted our efforts to the development
of the expert and tho competitive
side, 10 the exclusion of the moral
side and the upbuilding of character.
Apparently the admonitions of teach
ers against the iniquity Of lying and
deceit are not respected. at least in
matters of play.
athletic sport when conducted on
sane and safe lines, with high stand
ards, will benefit any group that
takes part in it. But If we are to al
low and encourage the boys to de-
ceive the teachers, principals, officials
of games and others. then we are not
attaining the benefits we claim for
our youth in participation in ath-
letiCs. Instead of making them hon
est. straightforward citizens, we are
developing them along untruthful. de-
ceitful lines.

Yale is all excited over a charge Of
professionalism among the baseball men
at New Haven.
In answer 10 the claim the Yale Daily
News comes out with the following:
our attention has been called to an
article by Caspar Whitney in a recent
issle of a well-known weekly on the
difference in the attitudes Of the Uni
versity of Michigan and the conference
colleges toward athletics, in which the
following statement is made:
While Harvard and Yale and other
Of the Eastern colleges are toleratinG
professIonalizing summer baseball and
preliminary football practice the confer
ence colleges have stopped both
THE harm of this statement lies in its
briefness and consequent obscurity. If
the author knows of any liberation of
professionalism at Yale or any tendency
toward it we welcome some definite in
formation upon the subject. Yale stands
for all that is clean in sports; we be-
lieve that Mr.. Whitney does also. He is,
therefore. urged TO bring his charges in
to the light of day, not to shroud them
in the darkness of a general statement
Needless to say, we sincerely believe
them to be entirely without foundation"
