Larry Schlahy, II seems. hasn't sold
Jerry Mains to a New York State League
team. The big fellow has returned to
Jersey City from his home in Michigan.
He will await schlany's arrival Satur-
day. Pitcher Galore has been sold to
the Wilkesbarfe team.

Why a man like Billy Clymer. of
Wilkesbarre, does not get into the big
leagues as o leader is a mystery to the
writer. He is surely a baseball gen.
eral. M
Many figure the Flynn-Johnson i'm
broglio' a joke. 1t is not as mirth-
provoking now as it will be.
George Bylce pitched excellent ball for
the Worth.ngtons. in New Brunswick
Sunday. Peally there WAS but one hit
made off him by the Caldwell team.
The second hit passed right over Joe
Shields regular spot while Joe had
gone to cover the bag on a possible
throw. and the third hit Charley Levine
should have made a foul of. Levine
should have picked up the ball after 1t
rolled foul from the batter's bat. In
stead he waited too long and it rolled
fair again. George says bis arm is very
good. It's a wonder George is loose.
pitchers are so much In demand.

Ty Cobb was right as q man in his
action In smuggling that insulting spec
tator, but as a ball player he was a
little too hasty. There Is this much to
be said, however. Ball players must
have protection. and they have started
out in the right way to get 1t, More
power to them. Our hope was that Ban
johnson be. Inundated. His kind-impe-
rious upstarts-always lose out In the
long run. What right has he to talk
Of the .neligibility of ball players?
Didn't he wllfully steal men under con
tract from the National League clubs?
Now that he has made money out OF
baseball, and Is a leader himseH, Oh
course he cannot see the rights OF
those who are not doing one-half the
criticisable things he did, and ne VIII
be bone-headed enough TO try to make
their stand break" them as baseball
PLAYERS and destroy their means OF earn
ing a living.
Baseball players have the opportunity
OF their lives to get their proper recos-
milton. II they don't accomplish some
thing this time, they had better ieave
the United States and sell themselves
|fnto the recognized slavery Of the trop-
ical countries.
These. alleged ''bnlwarks' of baseball
fellows like johnson are waxing rich at
the players expense, and then set them
-. -. ~. a.,ndorda of riohtaOugnogS |
to tell players what Is right to do.
We hear no criticism of Connie Mack
for ''buncoing'' his patrons Saturday.
He should lave told the fans that their
rainchecks held good for another game
and played the contest to save the for
felts. It's all right for the elub-owners
TO 'foor' thousands of spectators, but
It's n terrible baseball crime for a ball
pIayer TO resent insults from one bug
among thousands. oh. you
baseball laws! You are the jokes.
And mercy, Johnny Killing is knocking
the players! What a difference!

Here is a new line of dope contributed
by a press agent:
''Who is the champion Of the cross
family, Leach of Phil? There is keen
rivalry now IN the Wallach family
Cross is the fighting name. Leach mas
long been the idol Of the East Sid FAM
hut during the last few months Phil mas
heen coming to the front so strongly
that now there Is considerable specula-
ton as to their respective merits. This
Is so keen that there has been a sug-
pestlon that they be matched. Nothing
doing says sam Wallach. George
Henry. manager of the New Star Club,
where Phil meets Willie Beecher We'd
nesday night. suggests a process of elm
nation. He plans to match fhh WIN
the best men Leach had fought, ana IN
that way get a true line on the Younger
brother. Maybe in the end PM VIII
meet Leach. Who can tellY'
po,sv rl,ne announces that he will not
sebt Joe Shugrue at the st. Nicholas A.
c. tonight.
The Park Commission has ruled That
no one over IS years of age may use the
baseball diamond at the middle division
Of Branch Brook Park. Saturday a
Jewellers League contest, in which the
majority of the players were close to- II
not out of their teens was played. A fair
chance should be given to all. Why not
allow other larger mines the use OF the
diamonds there2 A fine league like the
Branch Brook had to go out of business
because of this rule.

Mike Finn, manager of the Mobile team
of the Southern League, says that Joe
Flannery, last year Bloomfeld's third
basemnn, is playing such remarkable ball
for the Hattlesburg (Mlss) team Of the
Cotton States League that he will be re-
called by Mobile in the fall.
