Three teams are going at a great

League. Freight, Transportation and
Auditors are showing superiority over
the other clubs. the next best to the
one in third place being Car Depart
ment. which is five and one-half games
behind.
Freight is going along as il it does
not intend to lose a game during the
entire series. Not a single contest
has been dropped by that club since
the second part of the schedule began,
and twelve have been won. That is a
record of which the players should well
be proud. Transportation is not far
behind Freight, having dropped only
one contest. Transportation has eleven
victories to it's credit. The Auditors
have played in three more games than
either Of the two in first and second
place, and have won the same number
as Freight, but have dropped three.
OF course, 1t is not to be expected
that such records as these will be
maintained. but there is little doubt

nish a splendid race between these
three clubs, with the possibility Of a
dark horse showing up.

It will be seen by this comparison
that any match may change the stand
ing of the Belmonts from third to sec
ond place, and as they are still within
five games OF first place 1t Is not i'm
possible by any means that they viii
go out in front and win. The Jeds
have a splendid team, one OF the best
in the whole system OF bowling
leagues, but they will have fight on
their hands to stall on the Belmonts
for the remainder of the year. and. as
was said, some time ago that Is the
real club they have to fear and watch
out for.
1t is not to be considered remarkable
that the Welsbachs are leading the

Of the teams in that circuit and the

The Welsbachs hold every team record

Year of Big Profits.

In 1908 the teams in the champion
ship race showed splendid profits. In
1909 every one wanted winner. There
was a frantic scramble to obtain play
ers from the big leagues and the salar-
les paid were extrayagant compared
with previous years. The salary limit
was cast to the winds. If there Is a
salary limit now-and salary limits are
not polite things to talk about when
trust investigations are threatened
it is not enforced.
So the American Association was
launched on a policy which made
money for the few, the winners, rather
than the many. The clubs of the
Al home. for it Is what Is known as q
home town league"-that is. most OF
The money is takep in at the homo
turnstiles because visiting clubs get a
much smaller percentage of receipts.
II the extravaganza had stopped at sal
aries by which the player is benefited 1t
would not have been SO bad. but it ex-
Tended elsewhere. Training trips were
dents and club managers did less work
and had more assistants. Extra names
appeared everywhere on the pay rolls.
IL was fashionable to spend money and
none wanted to appear niggardly COM
pared with his neighbor.
That is why some of the more con-
servative magnates are preaching
economy and trying to bring about
financial reform.
In response to the reported applica-
ton of the General League for Toledo
territory, it may be stated authorita-
lively that the A. A. is not willing to
surrender it's rights to Toledo per-
manently. The transfer of the fran
chise to Cleveland was in part a war
measure, as the Feds were threatening
to invade, although 1t must be ad-
nitted the Toledo club was losing
money. The association may want to
return. however, for the Toledo fans
do not seem to desire an absolute di-
vorce from the major minors. even II
the degree of separation was based On
charges of cruelty and non-support.

Good Contests Needed.

Neither the elimination of the draft
nor the single umpiring system. to
which many critics are taking excep-
ton, will make the American Associa-
ton other than what it is. 1t will be
a successful league if it furnishes sat
isfactory contests to its patrons and
cities of the circuit are able to support
their clubs without losses to the own
ers, which suggest possible transfers
of franchises, not for strategic, but for
financial reasons.
In common with other base ball
leagues, the American Association ac-
cepted it's need of prosperity without
thought of the rainy day. 1t did not
in its good years accumulate as great
q. surplus as might be thought advfs-
able in other lines of business.
After the association went into the
ranks of organized base ball in 1904.
after two years of warfare, it was
composed in the main of practical base
ball men It was conducted economi-
cally and with profit to most of the
clubs, not great profits, it is true, but
profits commensurate with the capital
and energy invested. Under such con-
ditions the league developed and be-
came a certainty. 1t shared In the big
boom which base ball experienced
about 1905 and thereafter. 1t reached
its pinnacle. perhaps, as money
maker in 1905 The salary limit at that
time was $4,000 a month.

RACING IN FOR BOOM.
CONTINUED from First PAGE }

Hart law there has been trouble over
oral betting. This dates back to 1910,
and conditions were due to lack of
cash and inability of racegoers to
record bets. Consequently there was
much welching and overplaying by
persons who couldn't afford to play
the races.
The new system will limit speculation
to small betters, inasmuch as big plune-
ers would have to put up cash. This
would necessitate carrying large bank
rolls.
Work Under Supervision.
1t is figured that speculation under
supervision, instead of going heller
skelter with no organized control Of 1t,
will do much to eliminate old condi-
tions. A point made clear by racing
men who discussed the new plan is
that the tracks will take absolutely no
revenue from the speculative end of
the game.
The Jockey Club. it is understood,
based its idea on the fact that the
courts in this state have declared that
oral betting. cash betting and the re-
cording of wagers by person not a
bookmaker is legal.
When the news leaked out today that
cash betting Is to be introduced again
at the New York state tracks con-
trolled by the Jockey Club there was
much rejoicing among the horsey fra
ternity. The idea, 1t is believed, will
not only increase interest, but will
eventually put the sport back on its
old basis.
