way 1t destroys lot of the thing called
sentiment.
Sentiment Lacking.
1T hasn't been the Federal League so
much that has caused the trouble as 1t
has the unpleasant features of base ball
brought out through the entrance Of an
other league into the base ball world
The public thinks hard things of the
player who is so ready to violate his con-
tract. 1t likes to think there is a Ger
tain amount Of sentiment surrounding the
continued presence of any star on a GER
tain team; that is it believes he would
hesitate to jump just because it would
not be loyal to the city that has sup
jump it is ready to believe that he
would commit other acts, that he might
! even throw game to the opposing team.
Believing that. it loses interest and is not
SO eager to see him in action. It's just
the breaking down of old idols
There is still another phase to It.
| Ball playing has reached a peculiar stage.
There Is not a ball team in either big
league that plays its best to empty
! benches. Ball players have become so
accustomed to the presence of crowds
that the cheering and all that is now
part of the game. They're just the same
as actors. You wouldn't expect an actor
to give a decent performance in an empty
theater. The inspiration is not there.
And it is not there when a crowd is not
on hand to see ball game. Let two
teams engage in contest without a soul
watching them and the brand of ball you
would get would be far inferior to what
you would see if the stands were filled
with an enthusiastic crowd
Still Other Factors.
| Tnd that is how Evers views the
| troubles that have beset the national
game this year. His logic is undoubtedly
! good and interesting, because it is diff
| ferent from theories others have formed.
There are still two other big factors how
| ever. One is that base ball has been
overplayed this year and the other that
the weather in the early part of the sea
son furnished handicap sufficient to
| give it black eye. An instance of the
effect of the bad weather is found in
! the fact that thus far this year the Giants
| have ten double-headers in this city piled
! up on their schedule. whereas last year
they only had nine here throughout the
| season.
| in consequence of the turmoil the Federal
League has started. All the jumping, the
| cross-fire of talk and the internal
| wrangles have caused a temporary lull.
| There is no actual loss of interest in
base ball itself, merely disposition to
| hold aloof until the thing has straighten-
| en- itself. Perhaps in another month the
| in past years, and the fallen idols Evers
| speaks of will have rehabiitated them
\ selves with the fans The trouble is on
| the surface. The men behind base ball
| started it and it is up to them to oblit-
crate 1t.
