SAYS BAN JOHNSON IS WRONG
Manager Who Appears on Field in Uniform Should Not Be Counted
 as Player, Says Griffith.

Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash ington team, does not agree with Pres ident Ban Johnson in counting as 8 player a manager who appears on the field in uniform. even though he may not go to bat. He does not believe in the justice of the latest ediot Of the boss of the American league. "A club is allowed 25 players" says Griffith, and that ought to include players, not coachers am not player just be- cause l wear a uniform. 1 wear a uni- form in order to be closer to the game than l could be if compelled to make complaints to umpires and assist my team at critical pinches with my ex- perience. But that shouldn't make me one of the players allowed the club. Harry Wolverton may rightly be con sidered a player. So might Harry Davis and Jake Stahl and Jimmy Cal lahan. They appear in regular cham pionship games and figure in the box scores. But Hughie Jennings and are no more players than Connie Mack. even though we do wear a uniform and coach on the lines. I am not in sympathy with President Johnson in this view of the matter. but hardly ex. pect to make a test case, as l haven't the limit of players even counting my. self"

LONG HIT CAUSE OF STRIKE
Rellevllls League Threatened With Dissolution Because Freight Train
 Carried Away 5all.

Belleville (Ont) is confronted with baseball situation that the heads of the Clerks Junior league declare is more difficult of solution than that which arose in the American league when Ty Cobb smote a spectator in New York.
 All the members of teams in the Belleville league have served notice they will strike, just like the Tigers did, if Henry Ebel plays in any more games.
 Ebel is the pinch hitter of the Mar ried Mems nine The trouble arose in Sundays game. when along toward the end i1bel took a good healthy swat at the sphere and it sailed over the heads of the infeld and outfield. A passing freight train, with a door of a box car carelessly left open, made clean pick up of the ball and carried it far away.
 The game was called for two req. sons. It was the only ball available and 1t was not available after Ebers hit.

VALUE OF PLAYERS AVERAGES
One Can Judge Better of Man's Real Ability by Seeing Him Work.
 Than by Statistics.

After all, fielding averages do not indicate exactly a baseball players value to a team. In the long run they may furnish some substantial indica- ton, but one can judge of the real ability of player better by seeing him work
 A good example of the general propo- sition here submitted was shown in Chicago recently when Zeider was given an error on a play. which an- alyzed, was mighty good effort, says the Milwaukee Sentinel. Mcbride bat ted to deep short and Weaver, getting the ball after an effort. threw wide to first, drawing Zeider off the sack. Zei- der scooped in the ball. and at the same time touched Mcbride as he went by. The umpire waived the play CT out, but the impact of the horsehide and player caused Zeider to drop the ball and the decision was reversed. There was nothing to do but give Zei- der an error on play. whereas he should be commended for splendid work and quick thinking.
 This indicates that sometimes where errors are made, the plays are. as a matter of fact, swell attempts, and that those making them are better players than others who have a fine average because they refuse to take chances.
