The Cubs and the White Sox are
going to play a series in Chicago, and
there were mumurlngs that the
Giants and the Yanks contemplate a
similar feat in New York, The Chi
cago series is far enough away to
escape us, but prayers are being said
that the Yanks and Giants will not
oblige.
Ty Cobb gets his name In the pa
pers again today. The famous ball
player is always springing something
| new, and his latest sensation was an
attempt to steal third with the bases
filled. That's the way It seemed, any
way, for Ty did rush over to third
while Donie Bush was holding down
that bag. The play caused big
laugh, but 1t Is dollars to doughnuts
that there was mix-up somewhere
in the signals It might have been
triple steal was planned and that
Cobb was only carrying out his part.
Ty Is one, ball player who knows what
is going on all the time. He might
mistake, but 1t will probably come
out eventually that Cobb was given
the signal to go to third and that
some one else fell down.

But that was not all. Cobb, seeing
the crowd" on third base, raced back
to second, but was called out on
close play. Then the trouble began.
1t isn't often that Cobb raises a kick.
but he argued so strenuously that
Umpire Wallace ordered him. out of
the game. Cobb left the field. and the
laugh, for the nonce, is on him. But

It's an old story that the winner
gets the play, and this is particularly
true in baseball. st. Louis, with q
possible pennant-winner In the Fed
eral League, does not hesitate to
show it's APPROVAL OF Fielder Jones's
team. On Sunday the Giants played
the Cardinals out In st. Louis and
drew 1900, which is said to be the
smallest crowd that has ever turned
out to witness a Sunday game there.
At the same time the Buffalo Blues
were battling with the st. Louis
Fielders at the Federal League Park
and $4,000 paid for their way into the
park. This was indeed a hard blow
to those who have been reviling the
Feds. It was in st. Louis that the
more games than are scheduled
called for originated. Because of.
shifts to make double-headers the
schedule might have seemed muddled
to those who did not follow 1t close

Is easy enough to see how impossible
1t would be for any team to play
more than the allotted number of
games-twenty-two games with

comes ticking over the wires that
Connie Mack has shifted games from
Philadelphia to Washington because
of lack of patronage at Shibe Park.
The ST. Louis crowd is we'll worth
Dragging about, but the Feds will
wait until they have accomplished
greater things before they look to the
gallery for applause.

| When the Ironsides take the field
against the Meadowbrooks next Sun
day morning at South Side Oval there
will be several changes In the make
up of the team. Manager Henry Glas-
sen was sore clean through at the
exhibition his players gave and i'm
mediately set out for some new ma
terial He signed Jimmy Heath, who
performed in fine style for the New
ark stars, and Joe Flannery, who
played with Caldwell this season.
Both these men have had minor
league experience. Casey is not going
to stop there, for he will also engage
Carrusis, southpaw, who did such
good work in the Singer League in
Elizabeth. There is no intention to
pad the team on the part of the Iron
side management. but he is riled al
certain players who, in his opinion
have not given the best that was In
them for the past few weeks. 1t is ru-
mored that In the first game against
the Meadowbrooks that some OF ths
players became peeved at one an
other, and have kept up the bad feel
ing in every game since. It was no
ticed that some of the players did no
act any too lively in fielding ball;
last Sunday That is what got Casey
goat"
'T will give the people a run To-

to get a whole new team"
