The year 1918 has been a poor season
for recruits in the two big leagues. OF
the $50 hopeful ball players who were
either bought or drafted from the min
or lea CUES last season by the two major
league clubs, only IS have played with
any sort of regularity throughout the
season. That means that only Is men
have actually made good.
Consider the expense involved; the
scouts salaries, the money spent in
railroad fares and expenses incurred
by sending men around the country
looking for material, to say nothing of
the thousands of dollars paid into the
Golfers of the minor league clubs.
When the total expense is divided by

to represent a fortune

In 1905 the Giants were again the lead
ers in the National League race and
this was the first season of a regular
worlds championship encounter, the
New Workers meeting the Athletics and
beating them rather decisively, four

they triumphed again and this season
they went after the Chicago Cubs and
turned the trick. The season following
the Athletics won another pennant and
the Giants who had languished more
or less since 1905 came to the front
again in the National League. This
time the Athletics trounced them with
neatness and dispatch, at the same
time winning the big banner two sea-
sons in succession, little achieve
ment never achieved before or since.
In the 1911 series the Athletics won
four games to two. Not quite so en-
pha ticaIly as the Giants had beaten
them in 1908 perhaps, but nonetheless
in a convincing manner. New York
with Matty in the box copied the first
game from the Athletics with Bender

for first place among the Topeka hit
tiers. koerner was released from Wich

the Giants won the National League
pennant again. but lost to the Boston
Red Sox in the grand encounter. The
Red Sox had nosed out the Athletics
in the American League race the first
time the Athletics had lost the lead
for three seasons. This season they
have come back in great shape how
ever, and are now frowning in a menac-
ing way in the. general direction of
Gotham. There are those who say
that they will carry out their threats
with eclat. Others are not so sure
about the eclat and are swinging their
hats for the Giants. Pondering the
dope and trying to figure who'll win
the bay leaves is an excellent way of
bringing on neuresthenia. Attending
the worlds series and watching the
hair-raising plays would be another
good way.
So any way you take it all will be
nervous wrecks by the end of the next
