The commission plan is not pan

success of any plan, commission or

of the men elected to the important
positions. The real merit of the COM

it centralizes responsibility and by
putting the executive power in a

| what Mr.. Million has told me | CUES,
we'lI have bike track in Baltimore
next summer"
@
The riders in the six-day race are
becoming desperate, and the sprints
at the Garden are more numerous
now than at any time during the
week. Never in the history of the
race has SO many teams been tied
for the lead. and the outlook for a
break is not any too bright. Clark
and Grenda, who are a lap behind.
have made several futile attempts to
make up their lost ground. and some
of the foreign teams have tried hard
to get a lap on the others. Not a
single angle has come up. however.
that has given particular team a
chance to get lap in the lead. Every
body seems to be so strong that it is
we'll nigh impossible to get away any
distance.
G
With the field so large. the finish
would be a crusher, but it is good
odds that couple or three teams will
make desperate try to get away be-
fore that time comes around. Goullet
isn't satisfied at all to be in a big
tie. and it is said that Root and Nc
Namara re just laying for chance to
make a bid. Breton and Perchcot
and Verri and Brocco are other good
teams in the race that are willing to
take a chance. but, somehow or other.
they have been unable to get desir-
able break.
1t has been funny race in more
ways than one. Teams have lost laps
and regained them, which is unusual
and more surprises are in store for
the fans. I am still sticking to my
selection of Goullet and Fogler, who
seem to be far the best team in the
race. Root and Mcnamara are also
doing fine. The best of the foreign
teams is the Verri- Brocco combina-
ton. and Verri in the finish will have
to be watched. Waithour and Collins
are attracting much attention, but
Walthour in finish is not to be des-
pissed.
O.
John X. Tener is the National
Leagues president now in earnest.
He has taken up the reins and has as
sumed the chair in most dignified
manner. 1t is said that Governor
Tener presides in the most dignified
manner, which is a sure sign that he
will make some of his leagues men,
bers feel uncomfortable at times. His
standing and his dignity should prove
great assets for the National League.
He will give that organization a tone
and a prestige tina 1t has lacked
much of the time.
C
Because of President Tener, no
doubt, the National League at it's
meeting yesterday simply discussed
the demands of the Baseball Players
Fraternity, and that it will recognize
the organization is no certainty by
any means. In the first place, the
league doesn't look with much favor
upon Dave Fultz. the president, and
it has been intimated that il the play
