Irwin, the scout Of the New York
games be put into operation, and
then to follow with series Of games
between all sixteen clubs Of both
leagues, IS meeting with high favor.
The national commission seems TO
think that Irwin's scheme would be
an excellent way to decide the worlds
championship. Whether this Is SIM
ply pure gossip. will be known before
long, for the leagues will take the
matter UP. 1t is said, at their annual
meetings, this winter. Something
should be done and something must
be done, for it is a crying shame for
fans who support the game all year
to be shut out by the favored ones
when 1t comes to the big games.
There is a brand new hero in this
old slow town today, ]. Franklin
Baker the mighty son of swat, has
been sidetracked for the time being
and Leslie J. Bush, the youngster
who pitched such a magnificent game
at the Polo Grounds yesterday. Is the
lion Of the hour. He Is the boy or
boys, this youth from Brainerd,
Mimi, and kid like he is taking his
honors with the greatest modesty. As
he came out on the field for practise
he was given a demonstration, put
it was nothing like the demonstration
rendered to our good old Matty IN
New York yesterday.
No, it was nothing like that. In
the first place the crowd is not here
to make the noise and besides the
Quakers are not as free with their
enthusiasm as they are over in dear

Bush was handsomely remembered.
His halo may not last very long, for
out of the battle today will likely
come a new hero, new king. Up
to l o'clock there were about l0,OoO
persons in the grounds, including po-
licemen, telegraph operators, ex-
pertsn and regular newspaper men.
There are almost as many persons
outside, some of whom are just wait

in the crowd, to talk about it, to mix
in here and there and to watch the

Speculation on the probable batter

keen. Opinion is prevalent that Con-

Whether the foxy Mack VIII take

problematical, for in case OF de-

Mack would have his old war horse,

Matty has done, and on what Ben

box. the odds, it would seem, would
favor a victory for the Giants. That
would put Mack and the Athletics on
the defensive for the first time since
the series opened. and If such a
thing should come to pass ii would
be interesting to see how the Mack
