ONE MORE sUsPECrED SPORT?
No other professional sport has had
SO much public favor in this country as
baseball. It has become 1.-The American
game" for the reason principally, that
it has been clean. Since it's reorean-
been honestly played. Rowdyism has
been suppressed. Public betting and
other objectionable features of sport
ing life have been driven from the
grounds.
AS a result of these conditions, base
BAN has become great money-making
pursuit. It's employees are not numer-
Gus. but reckoning from the amount of
capital invested it ranks high among
business enterprises. The compar lively
few men who control it are not inap-
propriately known as magnates," for
their wealth and power are everywhere
recognized. Being absolute masters Of
the game in all its private and public
relations, when things go wrong their
responsibility is not to be questioned.
The blame therefore, for the outrage
Gus extortiOns practiced year after year
in connection with the worlds cham
pionship series is already fixed. 1t il
no excuse to plead surprise or helpless
ness. 1t is no defense to say that the
eagerness of the public defeats the
best-laid plans Of the management. The
fact is that tickets to these games reg
ularly fall into the hands Of specuIa-
tors and that the people are as regular
ly gouged. The magnates can stop the
abuse IL they are so inclined. Their
failure to do SO has become national
scandal.

There are some natures which can
