BASEBALL DRAFTS

Series Plans

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 15.-BasebalI
men from all parts of the country
were present when the meeting of the
national baseball commission held for
the purpose of opening the major
league drafts began here to-day.
The old drafting system of openly
picking the names of clubs and players
from hat was again resorted to. Ow-
ing to the war with the Federal League,
thls system had been discarded dur
lnS the last two years and the drafting
mad been made secretly.
Worlds Series Plans
1t was expected that the national
commission also would discuss infor-
mally plans for the worlds series. II
was announced, however, that no def
mite plans can be arranged for the
series at this time because of the close
races in the National and American
Leagues.
Before the commission went into
session August Hermann. chairman of
the body. stated that he had figured
o9t schedules for each possible com
bination and that he did not anticipate
any trouble in arranging the playing
dates even though one or both races
remained unsettled until the last day
or the regular season. Mr.. Hermann
said he expected to see the first game
OF the worlds series played not later
than Saturday, October 7.

Difference Among Hitters
as Temple Figures Bingles

The differences between $50 and a
$50 hitter is just trif1e more than
one hit in every three games. Sounds
astonishing, but it is true. Just about
one-third of a safety per game divides
the Cobbs and the Speakers and the
Jacksons from the hoi polloi among
swatsmiths.
William Chase Temple, donor of the
Temple cup and one of the best record
men on the national game in its entire
history, has figured it out. He has
taken all the averages of both leagues
to reach his conclusions.
Temples statistics show that each
player in the National League averages
3.64 times at bat per game, while the
American League average 3.6 times,
making the grand average 3.62 times
at bat for every major league player in
each game.
Having reached these figures,
then found that to bat $50 in 100
games a player would have to make
1877 hits" said Temple. "A $50 batter
will make 81 hits in every 100 games
That shows a difference of SO hits in
every 100 games between $50 and
$50 hitter.
Therefore, 1t can be seen readily
that the $50 hitter. making thirty-six
more hits in each 100 games than does
the $50 man, averages only about one
third hit more per game than the low
hitter, or los hits in every three
games"

ToUCHIN' ON "RED" CALHOUN

Bill" McCollum. of the Wilkes
Barre Record, says:
Calhoun and Owner johnson have
reached the parting of the ways.
Same old story. Like other rich men
who tire of a toy, the Bingo owner has
tired of digging for the coin.
Baseball will never pay at Johnson
City. The grounds are too far away
from Binghamton.
1t is also said that Mike O'Neill is
playing his last season at Syracuse.
There are fine inside" stories in
both the Syracuse and Binghamton
situations that are not quite ripe for
the telling.
Calhoun was a hero so long as the
quarters rolled in at the Bingo gate.
Calhoun's record at Elmira and at
Binghamton stamps him as one of the
best managers in the minor leagues.
He not only knows the playing end,
but the business end as we'll. and saves
money and trouble as we'll as giving
good baseball to the public.
Unless Lewis is to be retained at the
head of the Wilkes-Barre team in 1917.

Blue Ridge League Has
Some Expense Account

Chambersburg, Pa, Sept. 15.-It Is
estimated that 1t cost approximately
$4,000 to operate the six teams of the
Blue Ridge League, including the two
weeks preliminary training. Salaries
for the season amounted to approxi-
mately s2S, 200; travelling expenses and
hotel bills amounted to much more,
while the upkeep of grounds. purchase
Of equipment and incidentals caused
an additional expenditure of probably
SIS, 1000. 1t is believed that no team in
the circuit got off for less than $40, 600,
while two or three are believed to have
spent at least $4,000. The prelimi-
nary training season cost in the aggre-
gate probably $4,000. But, despite the
fact that no team showed any appre-
ciable balance on the right side of the
ledger, the finances of the league are
in splendid shape, and every dollar of
indebtedness will be fully paid. Mar.

Sweetheart Helps Swimmer;
Her Presence Brings Victory

st. Louis. Mo-. Sept. 15.-To the
fact that his sweetheart was a spec
tator of the big ten-mile swim on the
Mississippi river Mike McDermott, of
Chicago, attributes his victory.
McDermott, 1t is whispered, is en-
gagged to be married to Miss Minnie
Blossom. Chicago girl Miss Bios
som, with Mrs. McDermott, the water
kings mother, and McDermott's three
sisters. made the trip to st. Louis to
see Prince Michael SWIM
Mike was spurred on to do his best
before his GIRL and to her presence he
attributes his victory. "She was the
charm that brought me luck" said
Mike after the race.
The victory was the third one for
McDermott and wins for him perma-
nent possession of the $1,000 cup, the
finest athletic trophy in the United
States. The cup will henceforth be on
exhibition at the Illinois Athletic AS
sociation in Chicago, instead of at the
M. a. A. in st. Louis.

of other evidences which, during the past
ten years have gone to show that Pensacola
and the contiguous territory is forging
steadily ahead.
The bay, the shipping, the fishing, and
other allied industries, which have been a
part of the development of this section for
many years, will increase in value along
with the agricultural and manufacturing
development of Escambia county, and
nothing will do more to promote these than
will the interest which is being taken in
the good roads movement, the construc-
ton of bridges at Ferry Pass and Molino,
and the highway to the gulf beach.
With these assured the progress of Pen
sacola can not possibly be hampered, for
not only will tourist travel be increased.
but the various sections of the county will
be brought into so close relationship as to
secure for every part of Escambia an in

The location of the aviation station is
cited as one of the most important evil

this is of great value to this section.
But is it the steady growth which counts
most in the development of community ?

but it takes greater pride still in its we'll

its beautiful city plan with its many park

YOUR SACRED DUTY.

Some people will object strongly to the
exposure of the garbage situation in Pen
sacola today, believing that publicity of
this sort will hurt the city.
But no evil can ever be corrected until
it is known, and with the state law being
so fagrantly violated, it would be COM
pounding a crime not to report it.
The federal and state governments are
spending thousands upon thousands of dol
lars in fight against fies-the disease
spreaders-and with the epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis sweeping the country, Pensa-
cola must take every precaution against
the scourge spreading if it ever reaches
this city.
When pest hole like the city garbage
dump is discovered in the city, menacing
the health of the community, it becomes
sacred duty to civilization to report It.
It becomes the the duty of every public
spirited citizen to help in the abatement Of
the EVIL.
