is staying at. Who did it If not Mr.
Solomon?
Joe McGinnity didn't. He would
put them in some beanery il he pos
sibly could.
A. Fan also claims that Million and
Uppercu are the live wires in the
sporting circles in this city. Why
the only thing Million did was to
beat Johnny Chapman out of his in
terests in the track and take in
Uppercu. and yet he thinks they are
sports.
What do you know about what the
players think of Solomon? It's your
imagination. No player ever told
you. SQUARE DEAL.
Wonderful The players must be
in love with solomon when they sign
a petition to have him barred from
travelling with the team on the
circuit.

Walter Johnson has again failed to
break the pitching record for cpnsec-
utiye victories, yet the game he lost
was a hard-luck one for fair. He
held Boston runless for ten innings
and allowed only one hit. In the elev-
enth inning, and by more hard luck,
1t might be added, Boston scored a
run and won the game. Johnson. up
to yesterday, had won fourteen
straight games, which is a seasons
record. but not league record, which
is sixteen, held jointly by johnson
and Joe Wood, Of the Red Sox, and it
is five games this side of what is said
to be q worlds record.

I read in the Star a story claiming
that l virtually handed ball game
to the Imperial r. G. last Saturday
when they were playing the Rambler
A. C. To set myself right l would
like you to kindly publish this letter.
The Ramblers know me very well,
having awaited themselves of my serv-
ices several times during the present
season There was only one play
that my decision was questioned, and
that was very thoroughly covered and
defined in rule 56, section Is, of Spald-
ing's Guide. AS rule, regard every
knock as a boost, to use one of your
expressions, but when my integrity
is questioned in regard to an amateur
game it seems no more than right that
L should at least try to make all the
facts known.
