National Commission
WhiteWQSheS Both Clubs

The inane report that the National
Commission has found that neither the
New York National nor the Philadel-
phia American clubs are responsible for
the ticket grating and sale to specu-
lators during the worlds series cast a
blemish today on the hitherto un-
spotted reputation of that highest
power in organized baseball. The mat
ter was dragged out n allowed 10
drift along for months after 1t should
have been cleared up, ~ostensibly to al
low the public clamor for an investiga-
ton, and a rigid one, to simmer down.
1t did not simmer.
The spa were as bitter as
ever and. forced to the wall, the Ma
tional Commission after numerous
postponements finds hat neither or
the two clubs was directly responsible
for the ticket scandal"
The National Commission admits that
there may have been some small sales
through employees of both clubs. but
in most cases when called upon the
most vigorous compliments were only
able to show personal grievances"
Whatever personal grievances are
the ugust body fails to explain.
To Ban Johnson's credit 1t may be
said thai he was out to clear up the
smudge from the start. But Ban was
handicapped. He was one on the com
mission and the National League had
two-in President Tom Lynch and
Garry Hermann. Perhaps thai eX-
plains why Ban demands equal repre-
s~entation in the future for the Ameri-

League assumed a prove 1t" attitude.

sale quantities in New York could not
be denied. And yet the commission
finds that seats were sold only in small
numbers.
The final statement of the commits
sion on this investigation is a black
mark on its record and a blotch on the
honesty of the national pastime. The
commission got off a lot of gaff about
the mistake both clubs made In selling
tickets for first three games and other.
wise criticised the methods of selling
tickets.
Statement That is Wrong.
The statement that every precaution
was used to prevent ticket-scalping by
both clubs may have been true in Phil
odelphia. but Is a barefaced fabrication
so far as New York is concerned.
1t would be hard for the general pub
lie to prove that there was scalping
and wholesale %scalping in New York,
but the commission, had it been in
earnest and free from league politics,
could have and should have cleaned
up the stencil.
Evidence is shown that only 1914
tickets were sent out through the mail
by the New York clubs and the COM
mission, binding assuming that his
was the only channel through which
the spectators could obtain the paste
boards, finds with striking logic thai
there could not have been any whole
sale scalping because of the small num-
Der sent out by mail. The chapter is
now closed. and there is no redress for
the baseball public, but the least the
National Commission can do is to adopt
every %precaution to prevent similar &C.
currences in the future.

THERE IS ONE BALL PLAYER
WHO NEVER BOTHERS BRENNAN

There is a player in the National League who never gives Umpire
brennan n trouble. Brennan refuses to give his name, nut believes
he could call a strike on him a foot over his head without protest
According to Brennan the player has a larger 10 tina the average
while his head is considerably smaller. The player is sensitive about
both. This information a given to Brennan by a friend.
one afternoon Brennan val called upon to make some close dec
sons n the player. He protested mildly but not enough to get consid-
GRAFTON. Finally, Brennan called him out OF a peculiar a well as a
close play. AS Brennan walked away the player followed him and kept
saying:
81 can't see how you eve pulled a decision like that For the love
of Mike, why did you call me OUT
81 am lot surprised that you don't understand. A glance at your
fee and then at your head shows that you wea a No. II, shoe and a

The crowd saw the player subside The next inning, according to
Brennan, the player walked w to him and said:
"Say. Bill if % III that stuff about the 70 shoe and hat I'm on

The defeat of Ted Whiting, the Aus

experience a year ago when returning

"Clabby was to box in Melbourne
Adelaide and Perth. At Melbourne ne
met a chap named Sanderson, a society
boxer, regarded as a conner.
.'SoIne of the wise ones told the
Hoosier that Sanderson was merely "a
fancy boxer. who couldn't punch nard
enough to break a pane of glass. They
admonished Jimmy not to hit him too
hard that the bout might be interest
ing.
when Clabby entered the ring San
derson was waiting. Instead of a
sickly youth. he proved to be a husky.
trained to the minute, and after a few
feints Jimmy fell into a clinch. San
derson proved as strong as a bull in
the clinch and Clabby decided to take
no chances.
"As they broke. Sanderson swung and
missed Clabby's jaw by fractions. Had
it landed il would have been tx
bse-baby. Realizing his danger, jim
my cut loose and knocked out Sander
son in two rounds.
THE Hammond boys victory proves
= he is getting stronger, for Whiting is
a tough customer, who can take pun

will meet Dave Smith again and Bands

IL he accepted the $1,000 said to have

that Pittsburgh really made such ar

ball career, and while he is still capable
of going good for several seasons 1t
is doubtful if he could stand the pace

years.
