TRAP SHOOTING
-~--~-
BASEBALL

Washington is a poor drawing club.
But receipts are boosted almost 100 per
cent. when johnson is slated to pitch.
1t is not likely johnson would be sold
when he draws as much as the rest of
the club combined.
There have been few men in baseball
in this category. Mathewson was one.
As long as Matty could toe the slab
there was no chance of his being sold
at any figure.
The status Of the club makes a great
deal Of difference in cases of this kind.
For instance, Speaker was sold bv the
Boston Red Sox. While Speaker was IN
doubtedly' the star Of the club. there
were several others not far behind him
and the club would afford to take a
chance on selling him for the price paid
and depend on other stars to make the
fans forget
The breaking up of the Athletics was
another example. Never popular team
Mack found his attendance slipping to
a point where he could better afford to
dispense with his high salaried players
and build up new organization.

For Sale? Not These Stars;
Magnaies Sometimes Sell Stars.
Buf Never Big DRAWING Cards

If wise fan you would be, make n
couple Of mental reservations and grin
broadly when you hear a report of the
sale of Walter johnson, Ty Cobb, Grover
Alexander or George Sisler.
The idea comes from a report that
Washington was about to sell johnson
q few days ago.
Fact is, these four men are unbuyable
Even at the present monumental prices
for good bali players, practically all
figures would be too small TO remove
one Of these pen from the club with
which he is affiliated.
This is not alone on account Of their
wonderful playing, more perhaps on ac-
count of their drawing power.
When Detroit is playing anywhere
around the circuit the fan goes primarily
to see Cobb in action, secondarily 20
sec the game In Detroit Cobb's draw
ing power is inestimable For that rea-
son Cobb probably will never be put on
the market, even though he should slip
badly, for so long as he is able TO put
on a uniform and appear on the field he
will be a drawing card.
Tho same holds with johnson.
Alexander and Sisler.

ODESSA NIDDLETOWN
MAY Get TOGETHER
By "ALp

MIDDLETOWN. July ls.-Now that
there is so much agitation throughout
the United States concerning the raising
of sufficient funds for use by Che Amer
lean Red Cross, it has been suggested
that the local ball nine and the former
Odessa nine meet again on the diamond
in three game series, the proceeds to
90 toward the Red Cross branch in the
two towns. The suggestion is by no
means a bad one, and from all present
Indications It will develop into reality
rather than a hope or a mere day
cream.
Today the rivalry between these two
towns is greater than ever and each
town claims to be able to put the best
nine on the diamond. The fans are
itching for such a series Of games TO be
arranged and if Odessa and Middletown
meet in a bascbalLeame it is safe to
say that the local branch as we'll as the
Odessa branch of the Red Cross will pro-
fit by no small amount. larger crowds
have turned out TO games between these
two rivals than have ever turned out to
games between any other two teams IN
Delaware, south of Wilmington.
Tense rivalry is what makes n ball
game interesting and it is tense rivalry
that the fans want. Tense rivalry is
what the fans will get when these two
mines meet. Last year large crowds
saw the games between the locals and
the Odessa boys. This year, with the
Red Cross to receive the proceeds. the
largest crowds in the history of the
two towns should turn ont.
With the two teams lining up as in
the days of old. a stiif hot extra inning
game could be looked for The lineup
would probably be as follows Middle
town--Segelken. catcher; Finn, pitcher;
7. Gibbs first base; B. Gibbs, second
base; Walker, third base; Dunbar. short
stop. Vineyard. right field; Ellison,
center field, and Swain, left field.
Odcssa.-S. Wallace, catcher; w Ward
or Carrow. pitcher; Heller. first base,
West, second base; ID. Ward third base;
