ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 NEW YORK, Oct. 19-AnOther base ball season has closed and only the rec ords remain to proclaim the proWess of player and club in Americas na- tionaI sport. Considered broadly, 1913 produced play fully up to the standard of previous years, but no appreciable step forward could be detected. The game appeared to hold it's own in pop ularity, speed and technique, but did not surpass the record of recent sea sons in this respect
 The worlds series, with it's attendant ticket scandals, scrambling and bick- erings, created the usual interest but did little or nothing to advance pro- fessionaI baseball or elevate the plane of the sport. In fact many of the clev- crest of the club owners and league of ficials are beginning to doubt the wis dom of the post season climax in it's present form. The play-off for the worlds championship under the pres ent system is felt to hold a menace of more or less gravity to the future of baseball by some of the best informed men connected with the game.
 The idea of a sportsmanlike series of contests to decide the title honors of the year is apparently lost in the wild scrambling for the enormous gate re- ceipts and the attendant side emolu- ments that accrue to players and club owners. Those stockholders whose teams do not share in the distribution of the prize money view with chagrin ! the division of many thousands of dol lars among the more fortunate. Fans who are unable to secure seats for the games rail at the coupon distributing policies of the competing clubs and all in all there is more dissatisfaction at ! the close of the season than elation.
 All this has been brought home vivid ly to the national commission and the magnates of both the National and American leagues and there is a move ment on foot to discover a substitute ! season climax that will leave less jeal- ousy and heartburning than at pres ! ent. What is particularly desired is a form of interleague series that will per init all clubs and players to participate 1 in the financial benefits and the fans of many cities to enjoy the spectacle

MESA OUTFITS
 THE SENATOR'S
Game is Pitching Tourna- ment Between Johnson and Hall Until Teams Mix in and Spoil It Jewels Die Hard

Ritcnie certainly must have some C the miser in his makeup. It is not often that tho hidden traits of human nature are better shown to the wondering public than at the ball game yesterday; and that desire for money, which has not been con- spiCuous part of the characteristics of the silent boss, cropped out under the stress.
 The game was tied up and it was the last of the tenth with two Phoe- nicians out and Togneri on second base Bruce Johnson put all he had on that new white ball as he let it go. Ritchie saw it coming. awful fast; and then he saw in his minds eye, a hoard of gold, waiting on the work of his good right arm. He swung, calculating speed and distance very nicely, and the new white ball scared far over the head of the back-sprinting Collins-clear into the triangle or centerfield, where it drop ped safe Tog sprinted home and Ritchie ran for his sweater anu glove. $ all over! Score, to 3.
 If he is not more cautious, Yves RItchie will earn for himself the title of Reliable. His performance yester- day was q duplicate of that a week ago when he hit a homer in the last Of the tenth. Had there been no one on yesterday Ritchie's friends would nave looked for nothing less than a circuit drive. just like the last one
 It was Mesas game by all the figures. The Jewels outhit Phoenix get many more on bases and created less errors. Mesa always failed to bunch hiths when they would have been timely, a thing that may be at tributed in large part to one Hero Hall. Johnson was often wild, walk ing five men and hitting one. Tog- neri at backstop for Phoenix played star game, for not a ball escaped him when 1t meant bases and not d base was filched.
 It started out a lively duel between Johnson ana Hall. In four innings
