MILLER HIGGINS SETS MARK

Players in Outfit.

It is doubtful if any major league
club during the past twenty years en-
tered a series either at home or on
the road with such a limited num-
Der of players as Miller Higgins did
when the Yankees played their last
set of games at Washington.
He had no extra catcher, nor had
he an extra fielder or outfelder.
Besides this, there was no such thing
as pinch hitter on the team. Twelve
players made = up the entire outfit,
the three extra men having been
pitchers. One of these was Sanders,
who did not pitch one complete
major league game during the past
season.

WOULD UNITE GAMES
INTO SINGLE SPORT
EngIishman 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.

V4ere 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 will
probably ever come of any attempt
radically to change the baseball game,
as it 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 a 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 as the "snick" IN
cricket, to which it corresponds.
Here is how he puts it:
"The snick or corner stroke is I'M
doubtedly 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 a blue moon.
cit seems a very great pity that
this corner stroke is merely thrown
away in baseball. In making the stroke
the batsman hits as usual with hori-
zontal bat, and getting just under the
ball sends it at very great pace to
tremendous height behind him, and
sometimes to a considerable distance"
If the baseball foul were to be treat
ed the same as fair fly or grounder,
the grand stand would have to be
moved about as far back of the home
plate as deep center field is in front
of it and a ''back field" that would
literally be back field would have to
be provided-two players at least,
which would bring the batsmen up to
the cricket number of eleven.
All the grand stand fans would have
to have spyglasses, and the bleachers
never would know which way the
game was going, forward or back. The
catcher would also have to have eyes
in the back of his head if there were
men on bases, and the batsmen should
knock a nice grounder or lofty "snick"
about $50 or 200 feet back of the home
plate. 1t is to smoker. No. let both
these fine games go along together but
separately, as it were.

Is SPORT DEAD? NO!

1t was announced officially
that the attendance at the New
York police athletic games at
Sheepshead Bay was 100000,
and that $25OOO0 was taken in
at the gate.
This is the largest crowd that
ever attended a sporting event
in America.
Despite the fact that this
country is in the thickest of
things "over there" athletics
still are popular as attested by
this remarkable outpouring.
Again we ask, is sport dead?
The answer is "No."
