SCARCITY OF PLAYERS
Growth of Big Cities Shrinks
Crop of Youngsters.
Ball Fields of Ample Size, Within
Walking Distance, Decrease as
Rush of Building Begins to
Swallow Up Vacant Lots.

One reason for the scarcity of
classy young ball players, men good
enough to shine in the major league,
is the growth of the great cities. Con-
sidering the fact that baseball enthus-
lasm grows with the expansion of the
big burgs, and that the attendance has
increased with the rise in population,
this statement may look fantastic or
impossible. Nevertheless. it is true,
and unless the colleges or the farms
begin to replenish the supply there
viii be a Serious shortage in high
grade ball players within the next
few years. You cannot have ball play
ers unless you have a place to play
them. And with the great cities ex-
banding and necessarily bullying out
their lines of settlement, where do
the ball yards go?
Take Chicago for an example. A
few years ago there were ball fields
of ample size within walking distance
for everybody. Huge vacant lots were
abundant in every direction. On Satur-
days and Sundays these lots were
black with spectators, crowded so
close that every foul tip COPIED some
one in the countenance. The City
league had several fine ball parks and
did a prosperous business, even after
the National League started Sunday
games. Then the rush of building be-
gan to swallow up the lots. One by
one the parks were seized: the lots
passed out of existence by the dozen.
A few more years and the amateurs
could find room only by taking car
rides of such length that they lost
the whole day going and returning.
The big leagues, even if their parks
are some distance out, draw the peo-
pie who have leisure to go a few miles
and spend an afternoon. The young
amateurs cannot take the time-many
of them cannot spend the car fare.
In every city the story is the same
the march of population, the spread of
building operations, has killed OFF the
amateur game by removing the avail
able spots wherein the amateurs could
caper. And what does this mean for
the future supply of the players?

RUDOLPH HAS ONE WEAKNESS
Boston Pitcher Is Very Sensitive

Dick, to be more explicit, says he is
growing hair on a bald dome-on his

head. He permitted us a look.
When told that it didn't look any

That's the main reason that you rare

that lack of hair, too.

Of living is higher than it has ever

In a table including Is articles which

In other words, the w~orkingman is
now paying an average price of l02

The table furthermore shows that
the price of these Is articles has in

UNJUST Law

The other day a Reno man was sent
to the penitentiary for having given
an Indian a drink of beer. 1t seems
that two men were drinking a can Of
beer in a supposedly out-of-the-way
spot, when the Indian appeared and
asked for a sup, which was handed
him. 1t developed that he was a "stool
pigeon,v for an officer stepped out be-
fore the Indian had finished drinking
and placed the white man under arrest.
Under the circumstances, this was a
fragrant violation of law Oh the part
OF the officer. Both he and the Indian
should have been convicted of crimi-
nal conspiracy and sent along with the
white man who allowed his good fell
lowship to get the better of his judg-
ment. 1t is probable that four out of
every five white men convicted of Civ
ing liquor to Indians are victims of the
same sort of conspiracy. By amending
the Law to convict officers who employ
"stool-pigeons' to trap ~good-natured
and careless men, this variety of crime
would soon come to an end, and the
government would save hundreds Of
thousands of dollars annually in ex-
penses in prosecuting this class of of
tenders and keeping them in prison.
This Indian graft has been worked for
so long, and so strongly, that it is a
wonder that it has not fallen of its
weight. The government appro-
pirates several millions of the people s |
money annually for the support and
betterment of the Indians. OF this
amount the beneiciaries receive per-
haps ten cents on the dollar, the bal
ance going for administrative expenses
and graft.
1t is probable that if the Indians
were left to their own resources and
given all the liquor and everything
else that they are able to pay for, they
would be much better off.
