By Charles W. Murphy.
president of the Cubs.)

@HICAGO, Feb. 19-What a
really wonderful thing is
baseball enthusiasm! Why
has the game such hold on nearly
all red blooded Americans?
First, because it is honest.
Second, because 1t is superlative-
ly scientific.
Third, because it is progressive
and develops some new and inter
esting phase almost daily.
In a reigning dramatic produc-
ton the lines of the actors are
nearly always in effect the same,
and the situation and scenes sell
dom, if ever, change. In baseball,
however, one never knows what to
expect. Precedents are being con-
stantly established and the uncer-
tainty of The game provides one of
the potent reasons for it's fascinat-
ing hold on the masses.
1t Must Be Progressive.
1t is really an affront to the
American people to say that base
ball is not faster and more scientific
today than it ever was. Americans
are in no sense stand patters. They
never would lie awake nights and
dope" out an all-star baseball
team Of this, that or the other
league If the sport had not kept
pace with the march of progress in
You have to be up and doing in
baseball as in everything else, or
the parade will run over you. Base
ball could not practically sidetrack
a presidential campaign (as it did
last fallD if it were not progress
sive. Neither would it be known as
the national game and a recognized
blessing If there were not constant
Improvement and progression.
Individual stars, in rare instances,
may have been as good twenty
years ago as the diamond lumina-
ries of today, but baseball as a
game is greater now than ever in
the past. 1t would not give solace
times of general depression, nor
provide relaxation for the busy, if
it did not improve constantly.
Cubs Are Greatest Team.
During the past eight years the
Chicago Cubs have shown the
American public the fastest base
ball ever known. Such dextrous
skill, minute precision and general
machinelike excellence of so-called
inside play as was shown in De-
troit in next to the last game of
the worlds series of 1908 was never
seen before. The mighty Detroit
Tigers, twice winners of the Amer
lean league championship, had a
man on second and one on first
base and nobody out, but the Cubs
played as one man and no runner
scored.
Those who saw the inning played
say they never saw it equaled and
do not expect to. The greatest
batsmen and base runners of the
decade were completely circum-
vented in their efforts to score by
the teamwork Of the Cubs. and
thousands Of friendly home specta-
tors sat as if transhxed and SEEM
ingly breathless while the work of
humiliation was being completed
by the champions of the world.
The cubs won the National league
championship in 1906, 1907 and 1908
and the worlds championship in
1907 and 1908. Every flag has been
honestly and fairly won and the
cubs have endeared themselves to
the public by gentlemanly demean-
o. at all times.

er continues good, the game will
almost surely be pulled off.
CATCHER MALCOLMSON, Sc
- cured by the Crackers from
Charlotte, has been turned back to
that club. Manager Smith is so
sure that he has the catchers he
wants in McAllister and Joe Dunn
that he is not going to fool with
any others.
II OY MORAN, ex-Cracker and eX-
N Lookout outfielder, leaves today
for the Pacific Coast, to join the
Sacramento team. Roy had plan
ned originally to 60 to Chicago and
make the trip to the coast on Char
ley Comiskeys White SoX special.
At the last minute he switched his
dope and decided to go by way of
New Orleans.
IT HE way the Crackers are fall
ing over each other to sign their
contracts has Bill Smith cheered up
no little. His ambition this year is
a team without indictments.
Ball players usually go where
they are sent. But Bill has some
this year who picked out Atlanta.
Notable in the list are the two vet
eran catchers, McAllster and Joe
Dunn. Both Of them are with the
Atlanta team because they want to
play here. Whitley Alperman is
tickled to death with Atlanta and
couldn't be better pleased any
where. Joe Agler likes Atlanta.
Buck Becker is glad he's coming.
So is this kid Price.
II Bill Smith can straighten out
a few hold-out kinks. he will have
a team of men who are willing to
play their very arms off for the
Gate City.
Mike Finn, one Of the wisest
heads in all baseball, said in a re-
cent letter:

team now that does not want to

At times q man makes releases
that no one can understand, but

not been used since ten o'clock Mon
