baseball to think over before he
barriers his talents with "outlawry."
o
Now that President Barrow has
displayed the right kind of nerve,
perhaps some of the faint hearts in
the other organizations will come to
the front and show that they are not
afraid. While the fight is on, let
there be a battle. When the time
comes to compromise, to get together,
which time will come just as soon as
| the thigh cost of living" begins to
| hurt, which will be about at the end
of the present playing season, let
there be peace and sharing of the
losses. Baseball can't stand the fight
very long, and this year, with the
attendance so small, the game is
| doing well to stand it at all.

One of the best judges of baseball
| that / know of told me today that
| Gus Gleichmann, the Irvington boy
who is playing first base with Jack
| Dunn's Orioles, is the coming man.
He is a dandy fielder, and he is hit
| ting in great shape and 1t won't be
long, according to all accounts, be-
| fore he is in the big leagues. Jack
Dunn, according to my informant,
deserves credit for bringing Gleich-
| mann to the front, for Dunn discoV-
: cred that there was the markings in
! Gus, and he nursed him along for a
season in the Tri-State League. Now
the Irvington boy has developed into
a great ball player, and will put his
home town on the map before long.
The Baltimores will be here next
Sunday for a double-header and
GIeichmann will be with them. His
friends, who are numerous, have ar
ranged to give him a little reception
and already 100 box seats have been
engaged for the occasion. Just to
what extent the celebration will go 1t
has not been decided, but the Irving
ton fans, you can bet your last cent,
will be out in large numbers to see
their old "townie" play. ball.
| @
That Gleichman will go up to the
'big show" is a sure thing, and tnat
the New York Yankees will get him
is also more than an even bet. Frank
Farrell the Yankees owner, has
been kind to Baltimore, and he is
entitled to something in return. Con-
ME Mack, of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, as is generally known, has a
! big interest in the Orioles; still
Mack doesn't need a first baseman
while he has one Stuffy McInnes. and
the next thing to do is to sell the
man to the New York man. 1t is
believed that the Yankees have first
pick of the Orioles, and it is a cinch
that Arthur Irwin, the Yankee scout,
will be over here Sunday to take
another look at Gleichman.

Praise from Harrison, the home OF
Marty Kavanagh, the baseball player
and y Willie Murray, the cyclist, is
contained in the following:
]. p. N:
The people of Harrison are grateful
to you for the interest you showed
and the publicity you gave the Marty
Kavanagh presentation at the Polo

the impression that the athletes anG
boxers of Harrison were not fairly
treated by the newspapers, for 9
Harrison man rarely ever got the de.

and interest in the Kavanagh affair
have upset my mistaken ideas.
