Gotham Clubs May Play Sunday
Baseball on New Jersey Land
By "Bud" Fisher

for all concerned. His Jersey City
club would play all its home games
N the new pa k, including Sundays.
When they had home game on
the Sabbath it would form the
opener of a double header, with
Giants or Highlanders providing
the second one When his team Is
out of town on Sundays the at
home New York club could have
the grounds for it's game alone
Lillis has in mind an arrange
ment by which the New York clubs
could pay him either fiat rental
for each Sundays use of the park
or percentage of the receipts. He
believes that a record bunch of fans
could be herded inside the grounds.
The regulars" would come over
from Gotham in addition 10 base
ball lovers who now do not see any
big league ball because SUNDAY is
their only day off Besides. he
considers several thousand fans
from Jersey who would enthuse
over the chance to get the big
league article close to home. He
can't see anything to it but a big
bunch of coin for all concerned.
He has mentioned the thing to
President Frank j. Farrell, of the
Highlanders, and President John L.
Brush, of the Giants They are
non-committaI as yet, but Lillis
says they are favorably disposed
toward the proposition.
PhiIly Clubs May Try It.
If the innovation is tried and
goes through success sfully, it may
lead to the Philadelphia clubs do
ing like stunt-moving across
into Camden, n. j., on Sundays.
Pennsylvania has a law similar to
New York's that prohibits the
Phillies and Athletics from work.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Sunday
Y baseball for New Workers
would be quite an astonish-
ing development. Yet, such a thing
has now come within the limits of
possibility. 1t will become a real
lied fact if plans of a certain New
Jerseyite materialize, Professional
ball on the Sabbath is forbidden in
the Empire state by enactment-of
law. The law not only is on the
books; it is enforced. New Jersey
has similar law, but by mutual
agreement of all, it is not enforced
So the idea is to have the Giants
and Highlanders-wh hap
pens to be in town at the time
traipse over to the Skeeterland on
Sunday.
The inceptor of this novel. not to
say revolutionary proposition, is

The new home of the Shelters,
according to present intention, is
to be on what is known as Jersey
Meadows, on the direct line of the
tube" which passes under the
Hudson river from New York. Rid
ing on the tube trains the exact
running time to the new park from
the heart of New York city will be
thirteen minutes. from the heart of
Jersey City four minutes. from the
heart of Newark seven minutes.
Thus a tremendous population will
be tapped by means of the tube"

nothing to do with the case. It's
Labor day and there's a double
header on tap. That's all the peo-
pie want to know.
There are a lot of folks whose la
hors interfere with their baseball.
They would like to see every game
of the season. But as rule they
don't see any except those of July
and Labor day.
Do you suppose that the mere
fact that the team isn't winning
quite all its games these days is
going to make any difference? Nary
a bit. They'll all be there.

The race is over and the best

well managed team, and it is
moderate credit to the league.

in the fact that some new men will

fielder from Columbus, will replace

bly, there will be quite a batch of

g PEAKING of recruits, a list of a
~ dozen rules for the guidance
of those just breaking into base
ball has been recently promulgated
and is here given, with the earnest
hope that it will be of benefit to any
who are trying to smash their way
into the national game:
l. Be sure to call your manager
Roge, Connie, Jake or MuggsY,
as the case may be. Baseball
tacticians dislike a cold greet
ing.
2. If you arrive in the city late
at night, get your manager out
Of bed by phone call and ask
him directions to the park
3 Tell everybody you meet that
night that you are Bingen. the
new Outfielder. and can make
Cobb, Speaker, Wagner and Bak-
er look like lazy picnic larries with
the willow
T. If you were drafted from bush
league for $500, don't admit it.
Say YOU cost $4,000, but your
owner doesn't want it known, be-
cause too much publicity over the
amount involved hurt $22, 500
O'Toole.
5. At the breakfast table, tell
strangers that your minimum
base steals a season are around
the rs mark.
G. on arriving al the park in the
morning for practice. burst in
the club house and shout, I'm
Bingen, the new outtielder. Say.
Cobb, you play right field here
after, for ! want center
7. Help yourself to the star
pitchers uniform and, when on
the field. make the others go to
the intield and outtield and have
an hour of batting practice.
s, In going back to the club
house for a shower, make some
crack that the team is loafing.
Tell the star ShOrtstop that he
doesn't play deep enough, and adj
wise the spitball iron man to cut
out the moist delivery. as you are
afraid of muffing a wet ball.
3, Call the manager aside and
say: "Lookahere, you let me bat
in fourth place, as | am the clean
up kid and have a better chance
to drive In runs"

Yesterday was hard day for Cobb.
BY scoring the only run off the hitIess
pitching of Hamilton, of the Browns,
he acquired certain amount of honor,
but by failing, as did all his team
mates, to get a hit, he dropped back
two points in the batting race. Speak
err made two hits out of five times up
and that rather useful performance
Melted him a loss of one point. Jack
son and lajoie each made one hit out
of three times up, Collins, like Speak
er, made two out of five times up.
