The Washington herald., 1913-09-22

to Cincinnati George gave out that the
reason Cy was not working regularly
was because he wanted a major league
Job. The simple fact was that he was
| in no shape TO work and he was sold
under those conditions for fat price.
Manager Tinker. i'm case Morgan proves
no account, will take the case before the
national commission and try TO get the
money purchase price back from Tebeau.
Respectfully submitted:

I Some day a set OF enraged CIevelanders
are going to invade Washington and at
tempt to put that city TO the sword.
Washington has hurled back the Maps
; in more pennant fights than any other
three towns combined. The Senators
thrOttled the Maps in 1905. when they
I beat them S of their last 10 games. II
! Cleveland had won out Of 10 from the
! Tariff City her club would have won the
( flag.
1915 has been no exception. Some weeks
ago the Maps verGed upon a pennant
campaign. Once they were pointed in
| this direction the Senators woke up
again and 50 far have beaten the Maps
in their last five games.
Here is what St Paul CAIinnJ cx-
change says about Owens, the catcher
Griff drafted from the Minneapolis club:
American Association fans will be
pleased that the big league lightning has
struck Frank Owens OF the Millers. WIZ
he was not chosen last year or the year
before has always been a mystery TO
those who have watched his work behind
the bat for the champion Millers.

fellow by the draft route. and there is
little doubt he will make good with Grif-
| nth.
There are many Catchers in the Ameri-
can League Uncle PonGo wouldn't take
in exchange for Zip, and American Asso-
citation fans expect to see Frank make
good from the start IN the big show"
The Glass "A baseball organizations,
comprising the International and Pacific
Coast Leagues. and also the American
Association, are yelling murder because
| OF the action of the national commits
| sion, just before the drafting of minor
league players by the majors was started
last Monday. in changing the system
| upon which the major league clubs are
able to secure one player from each Class
"A team. And the wall of the Glass AA
clubs is echoed by those in the Class 4
organizatiOns-the Southern and Western
Leagues-both OF which were similarly
affected. These leagues have never been
on any too friendly terms with the ma
| tional commission and have upon more
than one OCCASION shown decided objec-
| tions to the commissions rulings and at
| titude toward the Glass AA and Class A
clubs. The commissions action of a few
| years ago. in agreeing that only one
player from all the clubs in the Glass A
and Class A leagues should be eligible for
| draft, apparently appeased the biggest of
/ the little fellows in baseball. But they
prefer the old system by which the
! player eligible to draft was determined,
rather than the new plan adopted ana
used in the draft this year for the first
| time.
