Some Echoes From
The Ball Season

Arrangements have been made
whereby the New York American
League Club will play its games on
this means that Owner Farrell for the
first time since he has been at the
head of the Yankees viii have q
chance to find healthy balance on
the right side of his ledger.
Time has proven that there never
was q chance for the american
League club to make both ends meet
so long as it played on its own.
grounds out on the hill The park
was not accessible enough, and even
under favorable conditions the crowds
were small. The new arrangements
mean that there will be continuous
baseball at the Polo Grounds all dur.
ing the summer, and that the Yam
KEGS will play to more people next
season than they ever have before.
Not one of the players who were
touted to do wonders In the world s
series came upto expectations. while
those players from whom little was
expected did the best work. No one
figured that Yerkes would outshine
Doyle, and Merkle was expected to
make Stahl look like a cart-horse,
yet both Yeskes and Stahl did by far
the better playing. Murray, who had
made such dismal failure the year
before, came through with veng-
canoe. Duffy Lewis, who was mem
Der of what was called the greatest
outfield In. the world, played poorly,
not only in the field, bur at the bat
Carrigan, who was expected to do the
most OF the catching did not show
well, and Cady, a youngster, made
good. But the Giants. with Meyers
behind the bat, had the better of the
backstop department, though Meyers
did not hit up to his usual standard.
The refusal of John T. Brush of the
New York club to pay % per cent Of
the clubs share of the worlds series
money into the treasury of the league
is. apt to stir up another baseball
mass this winter. The rule covering
this point was passed year ago and
from all accounts met with no oppo-
sition. It's object was to have the
clubs which did not win the pennant
share in the enormous profits Of the
worlds series. A heavy assessment
lis necessary during the playing sea-
son to defray the expense of the
league, and 1t was figured that the
worlds series profits could relieve
the clubs from TINS drain. But Brush.
when he found that his team was TO-
take part in the worlds series, re-.
fused to give up the Is per cent. The
national commission. howeve r Is
hnlding the money, and not until the
National League decides the case
will any disposition be made of 1t.
