AN FRANCISCO, Cal, April g.
The socalIed elimination tourna-
- ments are a delusion and a snare
Like desert trails, they lead nowhere
in particular. The best in store for
any one who follows them Is a glimpse
Of a mirage or something equally IN
stable and misleading.
In the memory of man about the
only elimination tourney that held the
even tenor Of its way and produced a
practical result was the one inaugu-
rated at Los Angeles for the purpose
OF developing challenger for Abe
Atteu.
For further particulars see Johnny
Kilbane.
The main purpose Of elimination
Journeys is to give promoters chance
TO work Up interest in the operations
OF relays OF no good fighters Just az

POINTS OF REFORM
FOR BASEBALL BODY
st. Louis Writer Points Out
Few of Defects Which
Might Be Remedied.

St Lopuis baseball writer cracks
the nail on the head when he asks for
the following reforms in bseban:
A free program with each paid ad-
mission containing the names Of the
players in the game. where they play,
their batting order and the officials
AnnOuncers 10 inform all stands and
bleachers of every change in batting
order, officials ground rules. etc.
Covered bleachers-
Official scorers, to be appointed BY
the leagues and be Independent OF
newspaper connection
A scorebOard to display the official
ruling on each play, as. safe hit"
error" triple" single and error Of
=" feeders choice" etc, so that the
fans viii not be in doubt as to the
nature Of the play.
Games TO start not later than $780,
no matter what the season.
All these points, with the possible ex-
ception Of the last would not be fea-
lures OF games If baseball were com

many businesses are.

they don't last long II takes a thor
