coming worlds baseball series

HE coming worlds baseball series
between Boston and New York
is bringing up discussions of the
merits of both leagues and teams and
what they will do in the coming race
What a team and players will do in
six months race and what they VIII
do in a seven games race no one
knows. but possibly clairvoyant
Every new worlds series has eX-
ploded the theories and sophistry OF
the past. The batting hero and
pitching hero of long schedule some
times utterly fails in a crucial series
of seven games where the friction OF
the game is intense and the tension
high The modest player OF the sea
sons race sometimes becomes the hero
in those worlds series contests. Ba-
ker's batting of the Athletics demon
strated this assertion last year You
cannot weigh the quality of diamond,
any more than you can weigh the nerve
and gameness of a player when it is
put up to him in a short worlds series
It makes quite a difference when
player has six months to make oase
hit and TO make one that counts IN one
of those games when it means either
the winning or the losing Of the game

in each of those games did the Met

and the record states that in those

great Chicago club under Arson and

Ebbetts, Of Brooklyn, Plans
New System For Drafting
Owner of National League Team Believes the Weaker
Clubs Should Have First Choice of Material Be
ieves Owners and Players Would Be Bet
ter Satisfied Under Proposed Plan,

FEW YORK, n. Y, Oct 3.-Charles
nj Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn base
= ball club, will suggest to the
National commission a new plan for
drafting players from the class IA
league. Ebbetts says the present plan
is unfair to club owners who are in
need of raw material Speaking Of his
new proposition, he said:
I have given the matter much care
full thought lately and 1 believe I've
hit upon a scheme that will meet with
general favor There are 16 major
league clubs. Let the American
league, for instance, take the odd num-
bers, l, 3, 5, z, 9, II. IS and Is for each
club, while the National league clubs
are numbered 2, 4, 6, s, 10, II, Il and
16. Assign these numbers in accord
ance with the order in which the teams
in each league finish at the end of each
playing season
Give No. Is and No. II. the tailend
clubs, first chance at all the players
subject to draft. If No. Is needs
shortstop and a first baseman. the
entire field is open to choice. If No. 16
wants a catcher, second baseman and
left fielder, the same privilege is ex-
tended.
The second drawing is allotted to
No. 13 and No. II. and so on up to the
ttp- III llldl " os GdCu team Will nave
an excellent chance to secure desirable
talent and will not be compelled to
take players that really are not needed.
To use a few illustrations with names
the Boston Nationals, taiIenders, need
first baseman, a Shortstop, a pitcher,
and perhaps a catcher. Under my plan
president Gaffney at the recent draft
ing session might have landed catcher
Schang, of Buffalo, a prize; shortstop
Derrick. of Baltimore; pitcher Powell
of Kansas City, and third baseman
Dolan, of Rochester. all of whom would
have strengthened this team. The
Highlanders, too, could have picked up
players of more value to them than to
the other big clubs that got them. 1
maintain that clubs like the Giants,
Red Sox, Cubs, Pirates. Athletics and
White SoX should stand aside while the
weaker teams have first crack at de-
sirable playing talent
The player end of it is illustrated
by many cases. Take the case of
catcher Wells, of Jersey City. for in
stance. Wells came near being sold

those clubs the Browns did not match
with the great Chicago club in me-
chanical baseball speed, yet they de-
feated the Arson club by the baseball
genius of Comiskey and the gameness
of those fleet footed Browns
The Chicago Cubs defeated the De-
almost consecutive games In the first
game of the first series between De-
troit and Chicago, the lack Of temerity
on the part of the Detroit catcher in
the first game where the Detroit club
had the Chicago team beaten in the
ninth inning with two out and two
strikes on the batter, lost that game
troit team in every worlds series N
to Detroit, which seemed ever after
ward to have a "hOo-dOo" effect on
the great Detroit team in playing
against the Cubs. 1t can be most log
ically said that the longer man is in
the practical machinery Of baseball.
the less he knows about it-fOr the
reason that the uncertainty of the
game in general and particularly in a
worlds series makes wise man IN
wise on the outcome Of some of those
worlds series contests.
Contests Straight.
I want to state to the American
baseball public, and I say it from the
position of a man who has been one OF
the builders Of the game, that those
worlds series contests from "a down
have been honest and straight The
outcome of these great worlds con-
tetss have shattered the theories Of
those skeDties of honest baseball in as
many pieces as Buffalo Bill does the
glass balls with his rifle-and I want
to pay a further tribute to the expo
nents of the national game that there
is no class of men in any profession
where temptations and laudations are
heaped upon them that compares with
them in sobriety and thrift I say
this in the face Of what I hear about
drinking of men in the baseball profess
sion. If the Chicago Cubs, as out
siders claim, are INDUCING in alcoholic
spirits, then their winning of pennants
and worlds pennants for the last five
or six years is the worst recommen-
dalton for the temperance ball player
ever known and a great boost for the
players who indulge in spurious bever-
ages
