SQUAWK OVER MONEY IS BAD
Public In Recent Years soured on Pro.
fessional Baseball Players
Fans Disguised.

The squawk of the Red Sox and
Cubs ball players prior to recent
game In Boston, the threatened strike
because they could not see why they
should not be paid the same amount
of money handed over to worlds Sc
ries players of former years, is just
about the last straw that will break
the camel's back, writes William Peet
In Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The idea OF refusing to don their
uniforms before the game unless they
were guaranteed certain sum out of
the worlds series receipts, and finally
backing down at the last minute be-
cause the handwriting on the wall was
plainly seen, Is about as asinine and
foolish piece of work as has been
chronlcled in many day.
Such actions by knights of the
spiked shoe merely disgust loyal fans,
and when the game Is resumed after
the war there should such thor
ough housekeeping that every vestige
of the former, grasping, pampered
player be blotted from the map.
That near-strike at Boston has CIV
en- the game black eye that will not
soon be forgotten.

MADDENS TIPS PROVE TRUE

John Il. Madden often wins races at

persons eager to obtain his stable
secrets. Madden started two-year.
old FLY named Far Beyond in u race

examined.

surely win," said Madden. "Niy FLY Is
green and has no chance"
Madden's tip was correct, for Flya.
way won breeding, while Far Beyond
ran third, yet some of Madden's inquis-
itors played his filly, believing that
they would get the money.
Madden started another two-year-Old
FLY named Maggie Maitland in the
last race. Replying to countless ques.
lions for the right information, the
turf wizard said:
"My FLY needs a race or two. but !
think she will be third"
"Nothing doing!" exclaimed one of
the anxious ones as she walked away,
"Madden's tips are Of no account. I'll
take something else for mine."
Maggie Maitland secured third
money, however, and those who fol.
lowed Madden's advice went home
chuckling.

TEAMS SELDOM MEET TWICE
Cubs and Tigers Are Only Clubs TO
Monopollze Worlds Series for
Two Straight Years.

Chicago and Boston have had more
than their share of worlds series,
though this Is the first time the two
cities ever contested In one but II Is
seldom the same teams have met each
other more than once. Baseball his.
tory dating back to 1884 shows that
but three sets of teams have met the
second time and the Cubs and Tigers
are the only teams In modern baseball
history who have monopolizcd the big
series for two straight years.
The Cubs Of 1906. 1907 and 1908
won three straight pennants for Chi.
cago In the National league, and their
first worlds series In modern cOmpc-
tition between the National and Amer.
lean leagues resulted in defeat nj the
hands of the White SOx. The next
two years, 1907 and 1905, the Cubs
battled Detroit In the fall classic, and
on both occasions annexed the bunt-
ing.
In title series for the worlds cham
pionship prior to the formation of the
American league the Chicago Nation
ais and the famous old st. Louis
Browns of the American association
met two successive years for the
Championships 1885 and 1856. In
1895 and 1896 Cleveland and Balti.
more met In what was known as the
Temple Cup series, played between the
first and second place clubs In the
National league.
While mentioning past performances
of ball clubs it appears that the old
st. Louis Browns of Chris Won der
Abe established record that will
probably stand for many years to
come. The Browns won four straight
pennants in the old American associa.

WOULD UNITE GAMES
INTO SINGLE SPORT
Englishman Conceives Idea Of
Merging Baseball and Cricket.
English Critics Continue to Offer sug.
gestions and Bewail Fact That
Foul Is Not Allowed to Figure
In Run Getting.

There Is now some talk in England,
where baseball is invading the sport
domain, of sort of compromise game
which should embody some features
of cricket and baseball. Nothing viii
probably ever come of any attempt
radically to change the baseball game,
as IL has been evolved, any more than
would any endeavor to adopt some
baseball features into cricket. The
two pastimes would mix about as well
as oil and water.
But English critics of baseball con.
tinue to offer suggestions, and one OF
them In q recent issue of an English
periodical bewails the fact that the
baseball "foul" is not allowed to fig
ure in the run getting. He thinks 1t
should be as important factor In the
American game rs the "snick" IN
cricket. to which II corresponds.
Here Is how he puts It:
"The snick or corner stroke Is un'
doubtcdly the most spectacular hit In
baseball indeed, It Is practically the
only spectacular stroke, except the hit
out of the ground, which occurs once
in blue moon.
at seems very great pity that
this corner stroke Is merely thrown
away In baseball. In making the stroke
the batsman hits rs usual with n hori'
zontal bat, and getting just under the
ball sends II ut very great pace to
a tremendous height behind him, and
sometimes to n considerable distance"
If the baseball foul were to be treat
ed the same as fair fly or groundcr
the grand stand would have to be
moved about as far back of the home
plate as deep center field Is in front
of IL and "back field" that would
literally be back field would have tc
be providcd-two players at least
which would bring the batsmen up tC
the cricket number of eleven.
All the grand stand fans would have
to have spyglasses, and the blcGcher'
never would know which way thu
game was going, forward or back. The
catcher would also have to have eye,
I'm the back of his head II there were
men on bases. and the batsmen SHOULD
knock a nice grounder or lofty "snick'
about $50 or 200 feet back Of the hom
! plate. II is to smoker. No, let bot
these fine games go along together bu
| separately, as II were.
