Willard vs.. Moran

II Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Moran find It

paltry purse of 5000 bones, at least one

VTTHEN Old Doc Time beckons up the
w highway Of sport they all follow-the
braves and the best with the rest of the
, field that has served Its term under the
banner of the game.
So for 1916 It will be of some interest to
see just how many drop from the ranks
or fade into the mists where even the
greatest are soon forgotten by tickle
public that only remembers what you are
| today-not what you used to be, The past
counts but little In a game that moves
with such swiftness, where so many
come and go and where the places of
those who fall are so quicKly taken by
others waiting for the chance.
The 1916 Class
Here are at least a few OF those who
may hike onward for year or two
longer-or who might also drop out before
1917 opens its docket:
No. 1. Christy Mathewson.
No. 2. Honus Wagner.
No. 3. Napoleon Lajoie.
No. 4. Edward S. Plank.
No. 5. Mordecal Brown.
No. 6. Edward Walsh.
No. Z. Hal Chase.
No. s. Napoleon Rucker.
Five Pitchers
Five of these belong to the greatest
contingent of pitchers brought forward

that would have made for any club with
all five In their prime.
This doesn't mean that all five are to
go, but no one OF the five Is certain to
start another campaign beyond this
springs mobilization. Mathewson Is
still doubtful in regard to his neck and
shoulder trouble, where his nerve centres
are badly worn away. There Is chance
that 1916 will be his closing campaign. All
depends on how the old salary whip and
adjacent neck muscles tLaw out this
spring.
Walsh has been practically out of It Tor
two years. But last season he was able
to win a game or two; 1916 Will probably
wind up his career. Miner Brown had
a good season with the Feds, but the
three-tal ned marvel Is now 40 years old,
and he too, Is edging toward the shad-
ows Ed Plank, one OF the games great
est marvels, was still almost as effective
as ever. although he had passed his 10th
year But the Gettysburg Guide is closer
to the border at last. Nap Rucker has
had arm trouble for the last two years,
so no one can tell what 1916 will hand
him before October. But of the five pitch
ing stars mentioned. who have served an
average OF more than l. years, at least
three are doomed to hand in the old uni
form and take their places with the birds
that used to be.

rom the sport. Players must have a verbal outlet. Some of them are fight Ing for their very baseball existence. All of them are under tremendous tension
 when called out on close or ques- 'lonable decision, a decision which they sometimes know to be dead wrong, it IS put human for them to explode and say something. The umpire generally oelils the party nearest, usually is Ilaue the target of these explosions 1he player probably would just as soon cuSs somebody else. Seldom is any thing personal intended
 An athlete who could emulate a clam and keep his trap closed on clOSe play in tight battle would be "o'thless ana a dead load to any ball 'eaAh. The u1np, in way, by acting as the shock hbsOrber of these verbal outoufsts, IS serving as a sort of st'lety valve for baseball, and therein performing one of his real functions
 Right down in his heart the average umpire knows, as a rule, that there is nothing, definite or personal in the rav- lnss or an excited baseball player These rawlings are as old as baseball 1tself Most of the umpires once were players. In those days they said the same things to the umpires that they are penalfzing players for today.
 Per contra, there is much to be said on behalf of the umps. They, too. are under a terrific tension, and their ability for self control and repression is really remarkab ble. That they do not crack oftener under the com b1ned criticism of fans and players is a human phenomenon in itself.
 A much better plan from the publ1c,s would be for the u1nnires to

1 banish players only when such an act | IS Justified in the interests of the spectators, who do not want rowdy baseball, prolonged squabbles or sense less grabbing. However, the average ian has not the slightest interest in any remarks which the player may address to the umpire sotto voce but ne does want a fighting, scrappy game and real run for his money.
 Ihere Is only one thing to be said in taVor or the system of permitting the wholesale firing of ball players, unless their acts are of a character to offend the fans. In the case of a manager who continually runs amuck and bv word and action leads his men to the verge of mutiny, overriding rules and regulations in the hope of bullying his way to an undeserved advantage. 10 set down a few of his star performers would have salutary effect and be in the interests of baseball. When a manager of this character finds him. self losing ball games through having his players benched he will immedi- ately calm himself and act the part of a real sportsman.
 However, as general proposition. the interests of baseball would be bet ter served if the players, instead of being fired, were made subject to a heavy fine for misconduct, the same to be collected from them personally instead of being paid by the manager or club owner
 Naturally the umpire must be al- lowed some latitude in deciding whether or not ball player shall re- maln in the game, but for them to act too arbitrarily or develop a strain of oversensitiveness can result only in harm to the sport

 Why this is so may or may not be hard to fathom, but it is well known, of course, that Americans love a win her. It can be added whenever it hap pens that one of these steady players like Tom McNamara, for example gains the highest honors there is ad- ditional praise because the students of the game realize that such a golfer has through the stress of the moment risen to heights which many time have seemed to be only for the golfer who was capable of a brilliant streak.
 Perhaps to the brilliant golfer there comes the least of dismay at failure Like almost all golfers, the profession als in viewing a match of this kind see themselves capable of playing only their best shots.
