The day Of the overtowering first
baseman is past and gone, says Harry
Davis of the champion Athletics.
Harry continued, saying, THE big
one who held down the initial sack in
days gone by could do just two things,
that of hitting the ball mighty hard
on the nose when it was grooved, and
catching a perfect throw.
"'Stuffy' McInnis has proved be-
yond doubt that big fellow is rather
in the way on first base in these days
of fast, scientific baseball, providing
the small fellow has the same require
ments as that of McInnis. First base
men today are required to field. throw
and run bases just like fielder, and

OWNERS NOT MAKING MONEY
Few Clubs Will Have Balance on
Right Side of Ledger When the
Present Campaign Is Over.

Owners of ball clubs are not going
to lay up a lot of money this year.
Few of the clubs in the two major
leagues will have much Of balance
on the right side of the ledger when
the present campaign is over, and so
far as the Feds are concerned, their
losses must be enormous. Conditions
have not been for the best interests
of the game this year.
There has been a lack of interest
from the outset. The public did not
take kindly to the talk of players
jumping and the prominence which
the mercenary end of the sport has
been given The threatened war
with Mexico also had it's effect, and
the present European mixup also
helps to detract from the sport.
Because of the one-sided contest in
the American league race the organi-
cation has been particularly hard hit.
The present race in the National
probably will save several clubs in
that league from suffering losses.

be able to hit the ball hard and often.
"'The old-time first sackers, such as
Arson and Brouthers, couldn't hold a
job in the big league today. Comiskey
alone of those early first sackers could
field.
Claude Rossman was about the
last of the old type. The Athletics
learned through Ira Thomas, previ-
ously with Detroit, that Claude
couldn't throw. Hence in Rossy's de-
clining years the Athletics played to
get the ball in his hands and then,
we'll nothing could stop them on the
bases.
This was the slide on which Rosy
went to the minors"
