Picking Apart Every Play.

There is a great deal more in viewing
a ball game from the bleachers than
from the grandstand or the choicest box
seat Of a great stadium. In the boxes
or the grandstand you will usually find
the fans who take in the ball games as a
diversion from business or other cares or
those who may be interested in certain
player or team. But when YOU sit on the
bleacher YOU cannot help touching
elbows with that rabid bunch Of fans who
pick apart every play that is made. who
condemn the home or visiting players for

By John ]. Evers.

Johnny Evers says in the September
Base Ball Magazine that there Is one
man who has less chance to become an
interested spectator of a ball game from
the bleachers than any other person, and
that man is, strange to say, the player
himself. The big league star is confined
to his own schedule, he sees few or no
contests outside Of his own league, and
even those contests he views from the
bench or as an active participant. Evers
is an exception to the rule, and he gives
some "reminiscences Of the typical star in
the role of spectator.
If the average American youth were
TO be asked what he desired to be In
base ball it is safe bet to say that a
majority of them would answer. Il would
like to be big Lacquer Such Is the
ambition Of nearly every boy or young
man who has ever handled a base ball,
and in these days when base bali mas
reached It's present high standard 1t is
an ambition not to be sneered at.
After playing professional base ball
for nearly a decade. and all but a rev

find there are many interesting incidents
that I could recall; little things that
have occurred on the ball field that are
interesting to me as l recount them,
and which I know would be or interest,"
to the fans. But there Is one period OF
my connection with base ball which to
me seems the most interesting, and that
period dates back to the time before
entered professional base ball as a means
of livelihood, when l sat on the bleach
ers."
To many this may sound strange. but
when 1 say it l do not forget the many
notable contests that I have participated
in, nor do forget the fact that the team
have always been associaed with mas
been a topnotcher. a four-time pennant
winner in the National League and the
winner of two worlds championships.
With all the success that has come to me
in my base ball career I have never lost
sight Of the fact that / once was only
one Of the thousands Of fans who have
made base ball the game it is.

One of the most intelligent men playing
base ball today is Meyers, the big India n
who catches so brilliantly for the Giants.
Mr.. Meyers spends all his spare time
reading, but when dragged into a con-
versation talks entertainingly on current
events. ancient and modern history, lit
erature and art There is not more
learned man In the base ball profession,
but the fans who give the Indian war
cry every time they see Mr.. Movers in
action know not their man.

liable pitcher on Hugh Jennings staff
This piece of antique pitching furniture

Donovan seems To be as effective as at
any time In his brilliant career.

EASTERN HIGH VICTOR
OVER WESTERN QUINT
Win Interhigh School Basket Ball
Championship by the Score
of SO to 20.

Eastern High School basket ball team
defeated Western High duint. So to IS.
for the inter-high school championship
of the District this morning at the boys
department Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium. The
contest, which was arranged only after
much wrangling on both sides, was clean
ly played, exciting and hard fought East
ern won through its ability TO shoot the
baskets better although it did have
little the better of it's opponents in speed.
In the first half the Georgetown lads
played good passing game and scored
easily, despite that they were apparently
lacking i'll speed. The Eastern boys, on
the other hand, were unable to cage the
ball and while fast work put the ball in
their possession often. the points they
got were scored only after repeated tries
at the basket. Lansburgh was the West
ern man to star: i'm the opening period
and it was lie who scored eight of the
sixteen points his team made in that half.
Narela and Daley played best for the
winners, their work enabling Eastern to
end the first half with sixteen points
also.
The second period brought out more
speed in the Capitol Hill boys and the
Western lads. if anything. slowed up.
although at times they showed streaks
which, if they had been able to con-
tinue, would have resulted disastrOusiy
for Eastern Chase and Daley came to
the front strong and by perfect shooting
scored thirteen goals between them
Western played hard, but lack of dash
added to defeat.
