TT is not quite clear how the

The commission may order
Murphy to pay that sum to Ev-

lion to one that Murphy would re-
fuse to pay.

less chance against Murphy than

never a trouble maker on the

nRUMMOND BROWN. the
- catcher who was with the
Boston Nationals part of last
season and was then released to
the Toronto club, accepted $500
advance money, agreed to terms
with Toronto, and then jumped to
the Kansas City Federal League
team. At least, this is what the
Toronto people say. Browns case
is to be put up to President Gill
more, Of the Federal League, for
action.
WHEN he was released by the
braves DTOMu
was told to report to Toronto. To
the surprise of Mr.. Gaffney, he
showed up at New York the next
day and called on the owner of
the Braves.
Hello. Brown. What are you
doing over here?" asked Mr.. Gaff-
ney.
"Well, TIL tell you" replied the
ball player. II read so much In
the papers about Evelyn Thaw
that thought | would run over
here and see her act" Evelyn
was then performing in New
York.
Gaffney afterward remarked
that he thought Brown was a
queer character.
7 OE TINKER is talking loudly
J and somewhat loosely over in
New York. He is saying things
he shouldn't say. For example:
"All this talk about the Fed
eral League being a gust of wind
comes from the old magnates.
They are whistling to keep up
their courage, but we are going
to give them the fight of their
lives. We will put the small
minor leagues out of business-in
fact, all the minor leagues-for
next summer when they have de-
veloped desirable players we will
sign them. All we have to do is
to give them a bunch of money
for themselves, and they win re-
fuse 20 30 to clubs that draft or
purchase them. Then the minor
leagues will go out of business"
| T may be asked: Why should
anyone desire 10 put the minor
leagues out of business? The
minor leagues do a lot for base
ball. Many of the minor league
ventures are losing ventures,
financed by public spirited citi-
zeus in the small towns-good
sportsmen who stand their losses
because they like baseball.
If you kill of the minor leagues
YOU kill of the recruiting ground
of the major league teams-and
the Federal League teams as well.

Not Much
Difference
in Rules.

is pity that there should be any
difference whatever. The college
officials and those Of the Y. M. c. A..
should get together ana agree upon
identical laws, as has been done by
the various baseball leagues and by
the colleges In football. The main
difference relates to the rule in drib-
bling. Without going into technical
tiles which will interest no one, |
viii simply say that the rules in
force among the Northern college
teams are such as to put a premium
upon clever dribbling. This Is a
very pretty feature OF the game. and
one that would, | am certain. prove
highly pleasing to the Southern
spectator, as 1t has TO audiences
everywhere.
But am wandering a little from
my main theme. which was to ex-
plain why the Southern college
teams do not use the rules of the
Northern colleges, instead OF those
of the Y. NJ, c. A. The explanation
lies in the fact that the game was
first taken up by the " M. G. A.
organizations all over the country.
In a few years. however, the
Eastern and Western colleges took
up the game, and in very short
period thereafter the Eastern col
ieges decided they saw ways to inn
prove the game as then played. Ac-
cordingly they got together and
agreed upon certain changes and
rules of their own. A few years ago
they took the Western college teams
INTO their conferences and allowed
them TO have say on their college
rules committee. The result has
been that since that time the East
ern and Western college teams have
had rules OF their own. But in the

DOES everybody know that there
are three different sets of
basketball rules in this coun-
try? Not all Southerners, | am sure,
and for the reason that in the South
we have only one set With us all
leams--college Y. M. c. A. or ath-
letlc club-play by the Y. NJ. G. A..
rules. These are also the rules OF
the A. A. U.
But in other parts OF the country
there exist two additional sets OF
rules, the college and the profes-
sional. The latter are in use by
strictly professional teams, OF which
there are two principal leagues
one in and around Philadelphia, the
other in eastern Ohio
We will not dwell on the latter.
as Il will probably be many years
yet before we have any professional
basketball In the South; but II Is
worth while referring to the college
rules OF the North because OF the
fact that many down this way are
asking why the colleges Of the South
do not play by the national college
rules instead of by the Y. NJ. G.
rules. This is a perfectly pertinent
inquiry, and we will Inquire into 1t.
