PLAYERS ABLE
TO SAVE MONEY
Many Good Business Managers
Among Modern Ball Stars

There has been "a lot of talk from
time to time that the ball player is
the most downtroddcn of the human
race. Slavery has been linked with
his name. But there is no such work
known in baseball today. While there
are trying moments in Il ball players
career, on the other hand the oppor-
tunities To get ahead offset these. It's
mp to the man alone to succeed, and
the history of the game shows a num-
Der of cases where men began with
practically nothing. who afterward as
ccnded the ladder of success. \ vol
ume could be written on this point
alone.
Years ago ball players didn't have
the same opportunity to make money
that they do now. They didn't get the
salaries. Few ever saved their money
and as a rule. after they Quit the
game they were forced to drop into
obsccurity But it's different today.
rho wise men i'm baseball are awake.
And when we speak of wise men in
baseball tins covers wide territory, for
there are many. Enlightened by the
lesson of those before them, the pres
ent generation is putting 10y the money
that seemingly comes i'm easy to them
Tor IA rainy day.
There are failures in baseball as well
as SUCCESSES out on the Pacific coast
III 10 i'm ~
as a day laborer for 81 IA day. Now
and then he picks up IA few stray dol
lars tipping off managers to embryo
stars. This man is Amos Rusie, whose
name is engraved in baseball history
as one of the greatest pitchers the
game has ever known. Yet ii doesn't
take the public long To forget the once
great New York pitcher, for once he
started on the down grade he soon
passed To oblivion.
\ ball PLAYER has plenty of chances
to save money. TIL" most of them do
nowadays. for many realize that after
they have spent the better part of
their years in the game il is too late
Ia begin at the bottom in some other
line of business. Some of them are
beating Father Time while they still
play baseball The unsophisticated fan
imagucs that the ball player can't do
ANYTHING else but play ball. Tho truth
is many players, particularly the col
lcgiaus, were trained for other bust
ness before they ever started profess
sional BAH careers. OF course. there
IS lhGt type of PLAYER who can't do
any thing else bu, play bail, but he is
getting to bc in the minority.

TURNED AWAY AT GATES.
Many Persons Who Had Bought lnVi-
tatons Could Not Enter Grounds.

Indignation was expressed 10y officials
of the athletic associations of West
Point and Annapolis because of the
discovery that many persons to whom
invitation tickets to the Army and
Navy game were sent had sold those
tickets To spectators, who in turn dis
posed of them at high prices some
times charging as high rs S21 for u
single ticket. The numbers OF many of
the tickets that were sold by those to
whom West Point or Annapolis had
given the tickets are known, and Il
record will be made of them, and in the
future those persons will he lucky If
they even set a ticket from spccu-
lator.
Lieut.. Phillip Mathews. the West
Point athletic representative, and
Lieut.. Arthur Fairfield who acts in Il
similar capacity for the Naval Acade-
my, were informed Saturday that
spectators we're Offering many choice
seats in both the army and the navy
sectors for prices that averaged be-
tween SO and $25 ticket. Mathews
and Fairfield, after conference, de-
cidcd 10 get the numbers of as many
as possible of these tickets and to then
issue duplicates at the same time in
validating the original tickets that were
IN the hands of the Spectators.
Tnis is the way il was done. Ma
lhcNs. Fairfield Lieut.. Commander
Hcrrien Of the Navy and Lieut. Ernest
Graves Of army Engineers. constituted
themselves n committee to do u little
detective work. Singly they visited
various places ON Broadway where tho
tickets were being offered tor sale and
opened negotiations for their purchase
Mathews operated urdcr the assumed
name of Beverly, Fairfield chose TIN"
uamc of Jones. Graves called himself
Mr.. SitercavcS. while Bcrricn rcjoiccd
under the burden. of the name Of
"Eetchani."
These officers dickcrcd with the
spoculators and managed Ia get the
numbers of most or the tickets. OF
course. they refused To- make a bar
gain. ana told the spectators that if
they changed their minds and were
willing to hc moro reasonable To come
20 the Hotel Astor and an agreement
might bc reached
Not a single spcculator caught on To
the scheme, ard the Hotel Astor lobby
was full of Spectators looking for Mr.
Beverly, Mr. Sitgrcavcs, Mr.. Jones, or
Mr.. Kctcham. Within half an hour the
numbers of every tickets in the pos
session Of those spectators was known
TO Mathews and orders issued for their
invalidation and the issuance of dupli-
Gates. the latter to he honorcd and the
originals refused for admission when
offered at the Polo Grounds gates.
The result was "a score of more of
men who had had big prices for the
tickets only 20 find them no good when
offered at the gate Saturday. These
persons fumed, fretted. and threatened
but IL did no good. and II they saw the
game they did so from Cuugan's Bluif
The numbers of the tickets sold were
looked up In the records Of the distri-
hutton, and II was found thnt several of
those who had sold them were officers
