If the Magnates Elk" the Campaigns, They Are a
'Bum" Lote of "Fixers,' Declares the Georgia
Peach"-Great Player Shows Why Flag
Should Go to Different Cities, But
Never Does
By. TY COBB,
(World's Greatest AIl-Around PIayer).

Every now and tnen l hear some
fellow who thinks he is a "wise
guy" say: Huh! Baseball is fixed
md the owners know just who is 60
lng to win the pennant before. the
season starts. It's all cut and dried
and they only let some club make 4
spurt now and then to Kid the fans
along"
Of course, the people who have
such an idea as this are few, but
there are some of them all right and
they probably make few converts
to their theory now and then when
something extraordinary happens.
let me say to the croakers who are
crying about crookedness in the ma
bonal game that if the magnates are
liking" things this year they are a
mighty clumsy lot of "fxers."
II cannot be denied that much
more money would be made in the
big leagues if there was some meth
cd Of controlling the destination of
each seasons pennant- That is to
ray, if the magnates could make any
particular team win the flag when
ever they got ready, their profits in
the long run would be vastly in
creased.
For the good Of baseball and to keep
interest at fever heat in as many towns
es possible. the championships ought
10 be passed around q little more and
not be won so often by the same city s
team Nobody can deny, for instance,

Is one of the veteran outfits Of Me or
ganiZation, but in all the years II has
l.een a member II has never won the
UUnting.
Cincinnati Is another old National
League stamping-ground, which never
has had a flag, and St Louis never
has grabbed one in the National, though
II did collar a championship back in
the days OF the old association. If the
n agnates want to do some profitable
nNing" right now, why do they not
slip the Phillies, Reds, or Cardinals a
strangle hold on the 1914 laurels? Gin
ciEnati with a pennant winner would
be one OF the best baseball towns in
the country. It has large population,
& big park, and few anusements which
compete with the Dali game ST LOUIS
is another place that would go wild
over a club in first place in either
league. and Philadelphia proved when
the Phillies We're up there and fight
ing last season that II could turn out
tie National League fans as well as
any place.

II ever a ball club curled up and

Pittsburgh. It's often hard enough to
win a ball game when you're out there
hustling and fighting from the vibrant

down and its feet dragging, expecting
to be kicked from the lot, IL takes ITO

players to be raising the dickens. but
as long as they refuse to play base

fifteen out OF eighteen games, but that
they ever won the three.

Yale Adds Baseball
Win to Long String

BOSTON. June 2l.-Baseball IS today
added to Yale's long list of sporting tri-
Umphs for the season, over Harvard,
the Blue nine having won from tine
Crimson by figures of 13 to s. yesterday.
Harvard outbatted Yale. but the four
t~irlers the Cambridge team used were
ineffective in the pinches, while Way
and Gle of Yale. kept their heads
above water in the close PLACES. Th"
teams were tied in the annual baseball
series. and yesterdays game was the
play-off, and the Yale followers boasted
much of adding diam1nd victory 10 the
the water victory Of Friday.
Neither team played a clean game
in the field. but Yale hal more suc-
cess than Harvard on the bases and
Yale's errors rarely came at critical
moments.
Jack Hanes. Yale's rtghtielder. was
the Eli hope who broke John Har-
wards back. in the seventh, with the
bases full and Yale only two runs
ahead of Harvard, Hanes smashed
one OF Hitchcocks offerings for a home
run. In the sixth Yale scored three
runs on two singles.

Harvard ............ 401 O10 JUl-S S

The Last Blow.

1t is stated that Jack Johnson will
enter the ring as a Frenchman rather
than an American. This is the last
blow-the ultimate punch. We could
stand up under the oxford wallop. the
gClf conquest and the polo upset. but
the thought that johnson has gone and
left us fiat as a nation Is piling on
the agony too thickly. There are GER
tain limits TO human endurance. This
is tho last one of them all
The Washington times., 1914-06-21

A ball player who signs a contract,
whether with organized or outlaw
baseball, should stand by that docu-
ment until the limit expires. After
this no one can blame him for being
human enough to go where the fra
grant odor of kale is thickest. He
isn't supposed to he in baseball for
his health. but he is supposed to be
in it for clean, honest intentions.
Every contract jumper is a men,
ace to the game. A contract jumper
is a welcher and n crook at heart.
After taking money crookedly in one
direction, throwing I. game for GER
tain stipend would be an easy second
step. The game has no place for
such an actor, whatever the leiCue
he disgraces. A deserve clause is
neither legal nor Inding, but jump
ing a signed contract is another
matter.

HOW TO USE CHEAPER MEATS.

dOW&TO
In the November @Woman's Home
Companion, Fannie Merritt Farmer,
cookery editor Of that periodical
writes a highly practical and inter-
esting article showing how there Is
more money for you and less for the
butcher when you use the cheaper
cuts Of meat. She gives recipes
showing how to use skirt steaks and
the aitch bone and she also gives re-
cipes for Huntington OK joints and
roasted hamburg steak and beef stew
with dumplings. AS to the compar-
alive value Of the cheaper, and high
er priced cuts of beef she makes the
following general comment:
"For expert advice consult the bull
| letin issued by the Department Of
Agriculture. The value Of meat as
a food depends chiefly, Of course, on
its protein and fat, which" are valu-
able in building and repairing the
tissues Of the system. Yet the gov
eminent experts report that there is
uniformity in the proportion of
building material in the expensive
and inexpensive cuts. s
".The high-priced cuts of beef, COM
ing from those parts Of the animal
where there Is little motion, have
! short fibers. making tender meat,
| while the cheaper cuts have long,
coarse .fibers, which need long, slow
cooking to make them tender enough
to be digested easily. This is where
the cook shows her skill. for the diff
ferent cuts need different treatment"
