XHIE would like TO have the
W 'highbrow" writer name the
$4,000 baseball players who have
drunk themselves to death or who
became so unmanagebale that "the
minors would not harbor them"
There are thousands of profess
sional baseball players in this
country. AS class they are just
as we'll behaved as any other class
of men in the community. There
is no need of the national com
mission formulating any rules to
make men behave before. after
and during the playing ason."
The writer's for these "highbrow"
weeklies should find out something
of the true state of affairs in the
baseball business before they at
tempt to write about them.
CHARLES H. EBBETS, president
" of the Brooklyn club, severe
~ scored his former friend, Hor
ace Fogel, the other night. 1t was
at the annual banquet of the Del
aware County league in Philadel-
phia. The POSTMASTER called upon
each of the big league officials
present to tell the young amateurs
present what the possibilities of
the game were.
All paid tribute to the youths of
America who make the game what
it is today-that is, all but Fogel.
When called upon to speak, the
former Phillie president not only
accused everybody attached to pro-
fessional baseball, but went for
Connie Mack and said that when
Silk O'Loughlin made the famous
decision that many have claimed
cost the Athletics pennant, Mack
said harsher things about the UNI
pire than he ever did
Fogel was asked to stop and
Ebbets became so boiling with rage
that he took the floor and asked
the postmaster to have Fogel 81
fenced. There was pandemonium
for a short time, but Fogel finally
sat down and then Ebbets told
every one present the real facts in
the case. Connie Mack then in his
diplomatic way poured oil on the
troubled waters and asked the
young men to remember that Fo-
gel did not know anything about
he American league, anyway. and
that he was not competent to judge
of what went on in its affairs.
Fogel wanted to reply to each of
the men who had answered him,
but the POSTMASTER told him that
his remarks were uncalled for, and
then the former president left the
room in a huff

L that the stars of baseball are

writer in one of the "highbrow
weekly publications. Many of the
baseball world beaters today who
are receiving yearly stipends that
vould tickle many bank president
were lucky to get their beef and
beans regularly before they broke
into professional company and be-
came part and parcel of the ma
tonal pastime.
Some of the boys who in a few
wears Jumped from eight dollars
and keep a week to $4,000 beau
ties retained their senses and are
today useful and respected citizens,
with bank accounts and large bust
ness interests. Others, however,
became absolutely unmanageable
as the unusual flow of yellow coin
rolled into their pockets, and while
many drank themselves to death,
others became so useless that, even
though they were still young and
should have have been in their
prime, the minors would not har-
Dor them.
1T is time that the national
commission and the club owners
got together and formulated rules
to make the men behave before,
after and during the playing sea-

bring discredit upon himself, his

Stronu Guard For BRIDGE

Vienna. April u. - Travellers from
ROumania describe the extraordinary
precautions which the authorities are
taking to protect the great Danube
railroad bridge between Fetesti and
ChernavOda. This. the last and larg-
est of the Danube bridges. is with its
approaches. nearly ten miles long. and
the eastern part, where the river is
crossed. has twenty spans. the longest
of which is 200 yards.
A large force of Roumania police is
told off to see that no attempt is made
to damage the bridge by passengers in
the trains crossing it, Two policemen
are stationed in every carriage. whose
duty 1t is to see that the prohibition
against opening the windows is strict
ly enforced, it being feared that some
Bulgarian might drop a bomb on the
bridge. even at the risk of destroying
himself. Several torpedo boats are
continually on duty to prevent any at
tempt from being made to damage the
pillars.
This bridge would, of course. play a
very important role in case of HOSTILE
ties between Roumania and Bulgaria.
