BASEBALL PROBLEMS
By BILLY EHAHS.

A play that is very simple caused 4
big dispute between two small town
teams out West last summer. 1t all
happened at a big county fair at which
baseball was the main attraction. The
season IN most of the leagues in that
section being over, the various small
towns enlisted a lot of imported talent
in an effort to carry off the baseball
honors. One of the managers had a
crack left handler and right handler.
He desired to fool the rival manager
into thinking that he was going to use
his right-handed pitcher, SO that the
rival would use goodly number Of his
players who batkd left handed Two
Of these left-handed batters were strong
against right handlers, but very weak
against southpaws.
Just before the start OF the game,
TIA umpire announced the right handler
as the pitcher for team No. 1. The other
manager, noticing the right handler
warming up, had included his left hand
ers in the lineup. But when team No.
the crack southpaw was the pitcher in
stead of the right handler announced.
The rival manager insisted that the
manager of team No. had no right to
make a shift at that stage, while the
latter contended that he could substitute
q player any time he so desired. The
umpire, of course, took a hand in the
proceedings, the rule book was referred
to. but the game was never played.
What do you suppose was the cause of
the dispute?

The big league magnates are to blame

play described yesterday, instead of al

permitted to score, and the man who
hit the ball grated third base. 1 saw
EIberfeld make such a. play in reg

OF course, there is one way for the
public to be Informed correctly. and
only one way. The big league club
might show the sport writers the con-
tracts and agreements in the case. But
this is never done.~ 1t is thought poor

false reports than ever to let them
think that some good players cost so
little. After all, this is a mater Of
policy. II the magnates prefer to be
thought millionaires, that is their own
business. Certainly no sport writer is
ever going to differ with their ideas.
way. He likes to pound out the top
prices on his typewriter because they
look good. Perhaps, for similar rea-
sons, the magnates like to see them in
type the next day.
Why shouldn't certain men scattered
around the country think Of breaking
into baseball when they read about
these fabulous prices paid for players
and to players Why shouldn't they
prefer to draw down 20 per cent divi-
dends in baseball than per cent in
hay and grain investments? And when
oily-tongued gentlemen come to them,
and, using these same inflated figures,
show them how 10 do it, why shouldn't
they jump at the chance?
For no other reason has the Federal
League come to light. Al Lawson, pio-
neer of outlaws, told me once that, IL
his own lines, he would retire from
baseball with a cool million. And, the
joke of 1t is, he believed ii. He thought
that, with teams in Scranton, Brook
