WASHINGTON NEWSPAPERMAN
THROWS LIGHT ON THE BUNK
SIGNED BY BASEBALL STARS

outside publications and the revenue
derived not only paid the amount
guaranteed the baseball player for the
use of his name, but left a handsome
profit.
1t was understood that the national
commission would be asked to take
steps toward checking his growing
practice of players signing their names
to articles they did not write. but thus
far nothing has been lone.
Without committing any breach of
professional etiquette it would seem
to be n case to be decided by the
newspapers themselves rather than by
the national commission.
Can't Blame the Players.
The players side of the matter is
decidedly minor affair. No one can
blame a baseball star for pulling Town
a little soft money. With him it was
simply a question as to how much a
newspaper would be willing to pay, 50
why should he worry?
Manager Fred Clarke of the Pitts
bursh Pirates LAD the proper idea
when, in answer to a request to write
stories of the last worlds series for a

Il think it is foolish for any player,

worlds series, to write about the
games. They are sure to get into
trouble if they do"
#Cinch, Says Larry Doyle.
1t is a cinch that the majority of
the player experts last October ran
no risk of losing their batting eye or
di%slocating their brains while they
were composing their criticisms.
Captain Larry Doyle of the New
York Giants was interviewed shortly
after the big series, and asked how
he liked the job Of reporting the
games,
1T was the hardest work I ever
tackled" chuckled Larry. Il did not
write a line, but it was awful hard on
the nerves to listen to what some

MlSSOULA QUINTET STARTS FOR
STATE TOURNAMENT THIS
MORNING.
CHANCES ARE VERY GOOD
Locals Stand Among the Four Best
Teams of the State, and MAJ Yet
Bring Home the State High School
Championship.

The Missoula high school basketball
team leaves this morning for Boze-
man, where the state urname
opens Thursday. McHaffie, Burns,
Eaheart, Clarence and Ernest Pres
colt will make the trip. Hester, who
was protested by Anaconda, will not
go tomorrow. He will remain here
until the eligibility committee has de-
cided on his case. If he is to be al
lowed to play he will go to Bozeman
on Thursday, if not another player
will be sent in his stead.
MiSsoula will probably be chosen as
one of the four champion teams. The
contesting fivcs are to be divided into
four divisions, each set headed by one
of the four teams which the agricul-
tural college officials shall choose as
the best in the state. 1t is hoped
that in his manner the best fives can
meet in the final matches. According
to the seasons record M%issoula, Ana
conda, Flathead and Billings are the
four best teams. Missoula was beat
en- in a close game by Anaconda, but
Anaconda lost to Helena after Mis-
soula had beaten the capital five.
Neither Flathead nor Billings has
been defeated yet, but neither has met
a first-claSs five.
over in Billings they think that the
championship is cinched, while those
who have been following the situation
agree that Flathead has the best
chance. The Flathead boys took sec
ond honors last year and have the
same team this winter. They are
big fellows and have played together
for a long time. Missoula has a good
chance though. That the locals will
trim Anaconda at the second meeting
is a cinch, from this portion of the
bleachers. The tournament will be. a
battle royal at any rate.
Tho Tina game comes on Saturday
night. The two champion fives will
play for the state title early in the
game the varsity will play the Aggies
a second game. Montana has already
beaten the Farmers and has an edge
on them in comparative scores with
other teams. but the state collegiate
championship will depend, in a large
measure, on the outcome of this game.
The bill that night will be worth see
ing.
Coach John McGough n Principal
Ketcham will accompany the MissouIa
five and Clarence STREET. will make the
trip as the representative of the local
school in the eytemporaneouS speaking
contest.

FRIEDMAN BESET
BY JEAL0US|ES
NEW YORK PHYSICIANS DISPLAY
PECULIAR ATTITUDE TO-
WARD GERMAN.

New York, March 4.-The plans of
DIR. Friedrich Friedman for giving
his tuberculosis treatment a practical
test in his country apparently We're
far from definite. tonight. "A decision
expected from the board of health as
to whether he would be allowed to
demonstrate his treatment was not
forthcoming. Instead, the boards
advisory committee announced that it
would take no immediate action re-
garding a chemical test of DR.. Fried
mann's discovery. DR.. Ernest j.
Lederle, health commissioners, would
not discuss the boards action, except
to say that he. believed the serum to
be harmless and that he knew of no
reason why DR.. Friedman could not
proceed with its use. The Monte
fiore home, however, where DR.. Fried
mann a intended to receive patients,
announced that it purposed waiting
until the board of health gives out a
statement that it will be all right for
any hospital in the city to accept DIR.
F~riedmann's treatment This, as
yet, the board has not done.
DR.. Brooks S. Wells, president of the
New York County Medical society,
said tonight that DR.. friedman would
be given every opportunity to prove
the curative powers of his treatment,
but that he would be prosecuted if he
attempted to practice medicine with
out a license.
DR.. Friedman could not be seen to-
night to give his version of the. state
ments issued by the board of health
and the county medical society.

Walter Johnson's "W%ritinqs.'
Walter Johnson, the great tWirler

by the Boston Herlad at a ridiculous

paid several other player writer's.
Ralph Macmillan, sporting editor of
the Herald, wrote Johnson's stuff, and
great stuff it was. too. It was so
good that the Boston Herald syndl-
Gated the matter to nearly so out-of-

The day after the opening in New
York Johnson left for Boston on the

The McGraw Explosion.
In New York this exporting has
become a mania. Last October
members of the Giants and Red SoX
raked in the coin as baseball ex-
perts. None thought to wonder how
a player had sufficient time to write
all credited to him for the morning
papers. When Manager McGraw
handed out an alleged story criticising
Chief Meyers, the explosion came.
McGraW told how he received a fat
sun for the use. Of his name, and tina
an expert writer did the real work.
The players expect to be criticised
by the professional baseball writer.
Indeed, they take that all in good
part, generally being the best friends
with their critics. But when a play
er reads the. harsh criticism of a team
mate, it's a horse OF another color
No man want to be held up to ridi-
cule by a fellow player. Continuance
of this practice may seriously inter-
fere with team work, and it is this
phase of the situation which should
have been called to the attention of the

yard restrictions upon kicks behind

accepted with the idea that the new

enabling the eleven on the offence to

SOME OF THE TAKERS

William Poets, sporting editor Of the
Washington Herald, writing in the
Chicago Post, tells the truth about the
baseball articles signed by hig-league
stars. He says:
What has become of the proposed
legislation against the baseball player
scribe?
1t Will be remembered that shortly
after the worlds series last fall a cry
was raised anent the practice Of the
star bail players allowing newspapers
to MS" their names over critical arti-
cles of the game.
The dear old public fell for this stuff
and swallowed hook. bait and sinker.
An article under the signature of
thriStY MatheWson led three-fourths
of the fans to believe that the great
pitcher himself wrote it.
Last fail, during the big series, the
writer recalls a dozen or more base
ball stars who allowed certain news
papers to use their names. The play
crS were paid anywhere from $3.50 to
1000, and not II of them wrote a
single word.
