Double Headers Not $3.50
Bet as Shown by Records

There can be only two opinions
relative to the results of double
headers in base ball, either they
result in even brealka 0ftener
than In double victories, or they
don't. Inquiry among the fans
disclosed that the prevalent
opinion is that when two games
are played in one afternoon the
result is usually n victory for
each team. Research proves 1t
wrong, however. The records of
a period Of years show that two
victories or two defeats result
Oftener than even splits.
Just where the erroneous i'm
preston originated or what 1t
thrived ON In uncertain. but prob
ably 1t is due to the fact that an
even break usually results when
dOuble-header In played be-
tween pennnnt-cOntendi teams
which perforce are fairly evenly
matched. These important bat
ties leave a more lasting impress
sion on the memory than those
played between weaker teams or
between the weak and the strong.
The sum total Of dOuble-head-
ers i'm q season between the first
division teams naturally will not
be ~ great as the aggregate of
d0uble-headers played between
first division and second division
teams plus those between two
outfits of the second division. In
