crying his eyes out as East Orange
scampered off with the victory. Bar
ringer has another Captain Dempsey
this year-a brother of the famous
Bud. He is the greater part of the
team. For the sake Of revenge. let US
hope If there are more Dempsey tears
on Thanksgiving Day. they viii be
tears of joy.

Baseball players are all wrong in
the way they deport themselves after
the season Is over and the proposed
plan of the National Commission to
take steps to prevent the stars of the
diamond from becoming letters is an
excellent one. It Is a mistake that
men like Baker, Collins, McInnis and
Barry, the so-called 100000 infield,
be allowed to play on the lots for the
few cents that are put into a hat.
Ball players are paid big money dur
ing the season to work for a boss who
pets them and pampers them like
children. Then when the season is
over we find the poor ball player"
who was driven so hard during tho
summer that he is all tired out and
in batting slump, dashing around
the bases like a wildman for the
edification of few hundred fans who
give all the way from five cents to
twenty five cents toward the exhi-
bition. Yes, the ball PLAYERS them
selves are not big enough to keep
themselves big fellows, so the only
way is to tie them UP with con-
tract that will prevent them from
playing on any other ball team from
January 1 to December 81.

The playing side and the paying
side will have considerable to put up
to one another II the Players Fra
ternity is ever recognized by the Ma
tional Commission. There isn't a
doubt in the world but that the play
ers are submitted to a few hardships
and that some of the methods of
baseball are not only against decency
but against the law. That these
should be remedied no one will deny,
and the big men in baseball will do
so without a whimper when the cases
come up to court. But how about
the players who perform on the open
lots and cheaper their profession?
There are other capers that players
are also heir to- and when 1t comes
right down to hard nails the players
will have to forego a few Pleasures If
they hope to receive any new bene-
fits.
The Federal. League is apparently
looming up as a factor in baseball,
but it will have to go some to get
sufficient recognition to make 1t a
success. The best thing 1t has done so
far was to give Horace Fogel slap
in the face. Fogel is like a burglar
in baseball everywhere and when the
Federal League moguls turned him
and his $4,000 bank roll down the
rankest enemies of the OUTLAWS"
couldn't help but applaud them.
Fogel, however, says he is not
through yet, and threatens to enjoin
the Federal League for refusing to
accept his money and give him fran
CHS for New York and Philadelphia.
As far as the OUTLAWS are con-
cerned, there isn't much to fear Now
that they have declared open warfare,
the men in organization baseball well
know how to fight them. The out
laws" have, so they say, placed clubs
in Buffalo and Baltimore From what
we know about Buffalo, we extend our
sympathy to the ''boobs'' who invest
their cash. A Mr.. Corrall has been
ma med as the "angel'' behind the
throne, but the sporting writer's of the
Bison CITY do not appear to know the
gentleman. As to Baltimore, the
