was. glowing in his praise of the
article in these columns yesterday in
regard to the outbreak of the fans
at the baseball game at Wieden-
mayors Park last Sunday.
II am very thankful to you for your
stand in the affair, J. P. NJ" Mr..
Barrow said to me. You have viewed
the attack on the umpire just as all
fair minded men must view it. have
the best umpires that have ever held
indicators in the league and feel
that they are doing their work well"
G
President Barrow is not such a
severe boss and he has a heart.
After viewing the whole situa-
ton" Mr. Barrow said, II decided to
fine Swaeina 500 and put him down
for ten days. But after I read his.
very able and apologetic letter, of
how sorry. he admitted, he was, then
I changed my decision and cut the

Larry Sutton, the Brooklyn scout,
is a happy man these days. With
the Superbas up in the National
League race, and fighting for the lead,
the humble scout looks back with
great satisfaction over the list OF
players secured on his say-so that is
making good. Sutton is not pulling
himself into the belief that he alone
is responsible for the present success
of the Brooklyn, but hiding some
where in the showers of praises that
are being heaped on the club must be
a few kind words for Larry He isn't
looking for anything, only his regular
pay day and the hope that he Will dig
mn a live one now and then, but from
more than one source comes the re-
port that Sutton will not be forgotten
If BROOKLYN ever gets into the worlds
series. which is not improbable at all
G
Facts and figures prove the case
wherever doubt exists, and Sutton, IN
regard to the material he has secured
for the Brooklyn club. has all the dope
at hand to show where he has not
only been responsible for the main
strength of the team at present. pul
that the Brooklyn club has sold 1or
tho sum of $12,5O0 players for which
Larry paid only $4,000. So the as
sets of the club. both financially ana
in playing material, have been won
derfully increased because of the abil-
ity of one Lawrence Sutton to PICK
'em out of the bushes and place them
to the best advantage.
BROOKLYN has her hands run IN lhe
present series with those doughty
Pittsburgh Pirates as her opponents
She broke Yesterday under the strain
but at that it lasted only one inning
The whole trouble, it seems, was Hans
WAGNER The 'Dutchman' just
couldn't behave. He fielded his POSI-
ton like man breaking sticks ana
he made the hit in the fifth inning
that won the game. That's wagner
He hits them when the pitch is wloe
and he hits them "where they am l.
He hit to Casey Stengel In centre
field Yesterday and Stengel, VINO mas
been playing like thunderooit an
season, fumbled the ball and wagner,
after scoring three men in front Oh
him was nailed going home himself
But what did Hans care. The Damage
,vas done and Pittsburgh was the
winner. The hope around these ols-
eines is that there won't be so mueh
wagner over in Brooklyn today TOO
much is quite enough and then some
Mr.. Wagner.
While on the subject of the super
has. it might be interesting to IN
from the sane fans of Newark that
the fans of Brooklyn are going dippy
over their ball club. We over mere
are somewhat concerned because
Mr.. Charles T. Ebbets, owner of the
superbas, is also the owner of the
Tigers. So, you see, there is sort
of mutual admiration on both sides
But the fans in Brooklyn are anx-
ions to do more than attend the
games; they want to give away
something, and about the only thing
they have been able to think about
has been an automobile for Jake
Daubert, captain and first baseman
on the team.

For Jake, all we'll and good, He,
like Teddy, would no doubt be DE
lighted" and the fans would enjoy
their little treat, yet those who know
best and have had some painful ex-
periences in similar cases say that it
would be the worst thing that could
ever happen to the Brooklyn base
ball team. No less a "wisenheimer"
than Connie Mack warns Charley
Ebbets, by wire, mind you, Don't
let them do it' And those who look
back at the performances of that
great Philadelphia club last year
and compare them with the work of
the year before and with the present
year and are told that automobiles
did 1t, cannot much blame Mack for
warning a brother magnate against
the nra ctise. If the BROOKLYN fans
really want to do something for the
Brooklyn club, for Daubert, let them
erect for him a smart and coy home
for himself and his little family. He
will like it better, and he will be a
better ball player, the odds are, than
