JENNINGS DOES NOT FAVOR HERRMANN'S
 INTERLEAGUE PLAN

MANAGER HUGHEY JENNINGS Of
 the Detroit Tigers has fallen in line with several other league mana gers who do not favor the scheme of President Garry Hermann of the Cin- cinnati club, who favors letting in all the players of both the American and National leagues on the receipts of the world series-that is, of the players end of the money.
 Here is the way Jennings expresses his views: 'The present plan is good enough. A manager has something to point forward to when he wants his players to get in and battle for honors during long season. When a team is fighting for the championship 1t is 6 nice incentive for the boys to consider that when the league season is over they might have a chance to share in the proceeds of the big series. Inter est would be lost in the series if the plan suggested by Hermann was adopted. It may be five years or more before we get another chance at the big games, or it might be next season. or never, but when the time comes I want to have my men fighting for the prize that they have earned the right to battle for and not be hanger on, thereby getting money that has been earned by the efforts of other teams and players."

USES DISGUISE IN
 OFF SEASON

TRIS SPEAKER, the Boston out
 fielder who did much by his bat ting to win the worlds championship series for the Red Sox, was started upon his baseball career by Roy Scar borough, a police chauffeur of Musko- gee, Okla. That was seven years ago in Texas
 Scarborough who was playing with the team Speaker was on at that time completed an agreement for Speaker to go to Houston, Tex, on that team. From then on Speaker went up.
 T knew Speaker when he was twelve years old" said Scarborough recently.
 He was a great overgrown boy with a tremendous amount of muscular ac-
 tion when it came to hitting or throw
 ing ball. He could hit anything ex-
 cept one of these old underhand drops
 around his knees. Every time he came
 to bat the fielders all went back, for
 there was no telling how far he would
 knock the ball. He could knock it
 farther than any player I ever saw.
 He holds the bat far up on the handle.
 the longest bat he can get something
 like the one used by Hans Wagner. An outcurve Is his speciality.
 CpedkeT keeps Ill trdlnlng all the year round. He comes home for the winter and joins some teams and transforms around Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
 But he generally grows a beard in the winter time so people won't know him in the towns where he plays, un- less they are tipped off to him. We thought he wouldn't know us when he got in the big leagues, but he gets out and mixes with the boys just l as he ever did. It didn't make him big headed. If he meets you once he knows you whenever he sees you.
 And Speaker saves his money too. When he comes home, besides the l money he made on the worlds series, he will bring home a certified check for S5,000, or close to that amount, which he has saved from his salary, and he will turn the check over to his mother to keep for him. While he was just playing ball around town as boy he was working for telephone com 1 pany as a lineman. He owns four or 1 five business blocks in his home town Hubbard City, Tex.''
 | Scarborough took Speaker and taught 1 him some of the principles of base ball and for most of what he knew about l baseball, besides his natural ability when he started in professional base l ball, he was indebted to his teacher

WRITER COVERS THE
 WORLD SERIES

THEY are at last taking notice of our
 worlds series over in England. The following from the New York cor respondent of the London Daily Mirror is interesting, though some of the fig ures mentioned with reference to the players salaries are 8 bit off color.
 Great as is the fascination exercised by baseball over the American public every day during the season the United States is driven to positive hysteria by the worlds series.
 Half a million persons tried to buy tickets for the first match at New York recently. But there was only room for 10000, and so, in spite of measures which prevented spectators making money out of the shortage of accommodation, workingmen paid as much as s25 for a two dollar ticket.
 Those who could not wait outside all night in order to get in followed the game in their scores of thousands from the streets. where enormous scoring boards showed which batsman was at each base, which pitcher was doing his work and even where the ball was throughout the game.
 There is no game in the world which. although it is most difficult to understand, is so we'll understood by the crowd.
 '.So keen is the desire to see the final games-which take place on successive days alternately at New York and Bos- ton--that, robbed of their usual harvest by ticket dealing, the spectators cor nered the seats in the Pullman cars on the New York Boston trains and tre- bled their price.
 Baseball players Of the first rank make as much as $12,500 in season, and they are idolized more than the matadors of Spain. The sixteen clubs in the two premier leagues are owned privately, and their owners make vast incomes out of the game
 "Over 10000 relay telegraphic opera tors have been employed to send the news of these final games daily across the continent, and over 270 special writ ers-not counting the eighteen play CTS themselves, who were especially employed at an enormous cost-have described every ball and every hit and every detail of the felding. "One man came from Boston with s1o0.0o0. with which he wished to back the Red Sox team. He found takers and stood to win $S0.000 or lose $10O,- 000
 As I. write New York is talking of nothing else but the prowess of Tes- reau, the mighty pitcher of the Giants or whether Red Murray, their fine batsman, is really back in form. Roosevelt is not half so important s&s J. J. McGraw. the Giants manager and as for Christy Mathewson. the pitcher. he matters more to the Ameri- can public than Wilson and Taft put together"

HEALEY OF DENVER
 HOLDS UNIQUE RECORD

HATS off to Healy of Denver-Healy
 who pitched for the champions of the Western league during the season just closed. MT. Healy has made new record, and one which, like that of Joe Wood. may stand forever.
 In thirty-seyen games MT. Healy ap- peared at bat eighty-two times, and not once did MT. Healy make base hit. That's an unprecedented show ing. It has occasionally happened that some performer went fifteen or sixteen games hitless, but never before has any athlete been up eighty-twc times and finished with a batting average of .00o.
 It's the most wonderful thing of the age -- reversibly speaking = and lids should be doffed Tn honor of MT. Healy. Nobody else ever did il; nobody may At<nc-dss it -asaiu ,----.-..-- -'
