The ileeney" stories going the
rounds that the international League
would branch cut Int big league cities
are not being given passing hetiee
by President Barrow, In the first
printed to threw a scare Into the
outlaw Federal League, but they
didn't work at ell, Then they were
taken seriously by several writers

| Although ell these interested In the

much satisfied with the attendance ct
the leeal grounds. and therefore with
the amount of money they are taking
out Of their enterprise here. the club
owners of other cities are kicking on
tho amount of money they are taking
out of the town after their visits
here, 1t is said that the LEGAL club
magnates revenues are large this
year because the patrons In the grand
stand are more numerous than ever,
AS the visiting clubs receive ten cents
a man the LEGAL club for every bleach
critic takes down fifteen cents, but
for every grand stand patron forty
cents Is the clubs share, So, while
fair crowd. of which the grand stand
has the biggest share, Is accepted
With a smile by the Newark mag
mates. the visiting clubs are ''heller-
Ing murder" at the amount they arc
receiving. With lender and most
prospective pennant winner the other
club owners In the circuit say that
the attendance ought to be more
than % per cent, larger than 1t Is
now. However. as Mr., Ebhets told
me tho other day that he was satis-
fed, and Secretary Nusbaum says
that everything IL lovely. what eriti-

Gambling on baseball games and
In baseball parks as we'll Ia beeom-
Ing more noticeable every day, Ar
rests around the country are being
made, and occasionally the culprits
are summarily dealt with. Boston
is the most notorious city in the
country for betting on the games
but New York Is a pretty fair sec
ond. The Hub was always big In
that line. while Gotham only took
up gambling on baseball after the
racing game became extinct. Now
that racing is back again, there may
be a falling off in speculative ten
denotes around New York, but in
Boston the habit" is greater than
ever. Philadelphia. too. is becoming
a hotbed for the pests. but keen
effort is being made to stamp out the
evil.
Along the International League
circuit there Is some betting, and
| Newark, for a time, led the league
in that respect. Uncomfortable pub
licity, however, stamped out the
practise at the local ball park to a
great extent. and now what little
betting is done at the grounds is car
ried on in a small and quiet way.
Around the Corners" though, YOU
can put down a wager of consider
able size without attracting the
natives.
Betting for the purpose of becom-
| ing more deeply interested in the
game. as some say, is not bad at all,
but betting on baseball as a business
is entirely out of order.

Rumors that Johnny Evers is to be
deposed as manager of the Chicago
Cubs are too strong and too numer-
Gus to be passed up without serious
consideration. The Little Spitfre, .
as anticipated. is making trouble for
himself. and reports are prevalent to
| the effect that he will be superseded
before long by Roger Bresnahan.
with whom Evers has had several
substantial arguments. When Evers
was first appointed manager of the
Cubs the opinion was expressed that
he would not get along any too well
as a leader. For time he fooled
his critics and made a bid for pres
tige that was worth attention. He
was happy as a winner, and he got
on famously with his men for time
Then came the first real spat--ths
break with Heinie Zimmerman. Other
internal fights followed. and john,
has had his troubles in keeping order
ever since the first outbreak.
O.
Charley Murphy, the owner OF th'
Cubs, is sticking to Evers. 1t would
seem, and the yarns are denied, on,
after the other. as soon as they croi
up. Murphy, in all his statements
declares Evers is just the kind of /;
man he wants-a man to fight will
his players and fight with the UNI

Murphy couldn't get q better mar
