visit to Honolulu n day or so ago.
Some weeks ago it was announced by
the Star Bulletin that the trip was

Walter F. Dillingham; to get away

would be a good move to go up with

we could get together as strong a

an expensive one for everybody, and

thoroughly prepare for the trip, we
can play better polo. and have more
fun, and take in the southern circuit,

NEW YORK.-Ihe announcement
that the American League is IN favor
tf nine game series to decide the
worlds baseball championship and a
reduction IN the prices has opened up
La new line of argument which is al
ready being traversed by every base
tall man within hailing distance Some
favor it and some oppose it. There
are good arguments advanced both pro
and con.
Il am in favor of nine games being
played" remarked John A. Heydler.
secretary Of the National League. Il
think it would be a good change if for
70 other reason than it would afford
more fans a chance to see the big
&ames.
Ever since the inception of the
worlds SERIES continued Mr.. Heydler,
each autumn has been accompanied
by grumbling and dissatisfaction.
Those who have supported baseball
throughout the season complained that
they are unable TO procure tickets
for the worlds series games. All
hands cannot possibly be accommo-
dated. When one or two hundred
thousand persons want to see a series
of games and there is room for less
than one-fifth that number at each
game 1t stands to reason that thou
sands are going to be, disappointed.
Therefore, by increasing the number
OF games more persons can see the
series. All of them do aot see all of
the games"
This Undoubtedly is a strong argu-
ment in favor of TIE nine-game series
But there is another side to the ques-
tien A nine-gane series will not
show any more than a seyen-game se-
ries. Any short series is necessarily
a battle between pitchers. The diff
ference between seven and nine games
is not great enough to make any ma
ter;al difference so far as the actual
play is concerned, nor win 1t be any
more of a test of the real strength of
the competing teams.
There is something else that those
who are opposed to lengthening the,
series advance. Most worlds series
have been decided without seventh
game being necessary This shows
that one or the other of the teams
has had the edge from the start and,
naturally, the longer the series is pro-

A MEXICAN leaguers gave vent to a
u combined sign of relief at Moiliili
- field yesterday afternoon when
they heard through the Star-Bulletin
that Walter Johnson had signed with
the Feds. The news was not unexpect,
cd, for Johnson has. been flirting with
the outlaws for, some time past, and
there have been ruInors without NUM-
Der as to his movements.
Ira Thomas, the veteran backstop
Cf the Athletics. and now a member
CT the beard of strategy CT that team,
along with Connie Mack and Harry
Davis, was not surprised when told
Of Johnson's defalcation.
We'll, I'm mighty glad in one way
that he's out of our league" said
Thomas. Maybe we'll get a hit or
two in the games that he would have
pitched had he still been a member
of Griffith's club
American leaguers say that Johnson
cares no more for money than he does
for his right eye. For several years
lie has been soaking away the coin.

contract called for, he was always
after mere. If the Chifeds handed
him $4,000 year on a two-year con-
tract, as rumor has it, and probably
fat bonus for signing. it is not sur
prising, say players who know him
well, that Johnson jumped.
Another oldtimer who has gone to
the Feds, according to this mornings
dispatches, is Eddie Plank, en- whom
with Bender, and Coombs, Connie
Mack recently asked for waivers.
Plank is said to have been signed by
Fielder Jones for the ST. Louis team.
Ira Thomas says he knows nothing
of the inside history of the Plank
Coonbs- Bender affair.

tour" said the big Philadelphia, land
Fl really don't know a thing except
what I've seen in the papers. 1t was
surprise. for Plank and Bender are
still good pitchers.
In regard to Walter Johnson, it is
pointed out that last season was about
his worst in baseball, and that he may
figure he is slipping, and wants to get

lone score Of Company NJ was on an
ante ,oyershot by the first baseman in
the direction or deep left field, to
catch man mapping off third base.
The other games played Thursday
afternoon resulted in Company Fl de-
teating Company C in very much Of
one-sided contest due to the lack
of baseball spirit in the latter com
pany. A few K. Ps would help to re-
vive the latent sportsmanship.
Company E, with Duffy IN the box
and team OF hard workers behind
him, put the skids under Company B
to the tune OF to 2. Although Com
pany B knew they were net an even
match for Capt. Hayes sluggers, they
stuck to the job and made their OPP
ponents play ball until the last man
was out. Rassett came across with a
timely home run IA the second inning
with the bases full. and Kane tried to
follow suit, but "o'd Father Time had

Dean Inge at the Temple Church,
London, in sermon on the war.
"The things that really matteFed a
few months ago were knocking balls
about, watching horses run and bet

upon us, war as 1t was to our savage
ancestors; but now made more horri-
BILE by being stripped OF its last YES
