When the Grihmen were winning a
lot Of ball games a few years back,
Walter johnson hardly ever started
IN Detroit Cleveland or Boston with
out carrying considerable of his team
mates money. And Walter used to
back himself, too.
Or course, mixing up betting with
baseball is not conducive to the best
results, but the Griffmen used to go
INTO those games ready to fight to the
death. And il a player famed in a
pinch or let a grounder go through
his legs, he had to endure some bIis-
tering words until the following pay
day, too.
1t would be ridiculous to defend
betting in connection with baseball.
We have no such intention. But we
do know that whenever the Griffmen
were backing themselves against an
opposing team, they always played
some OF their snappiest baseball No
lOunging was allowed. It was ''up on

II Might Be Different.

The United States is ready to send
an athletic team to the next Olympic
games regardless Of the time or place
which may be designated, ais the
word sent to the Swedish Athletic As
sOciation by the American National
\. \. L. leaders. The message might
better have been different.
An Olympic meet with contestants
from Sweden. Norway and the United
states would be but 4 joke. An
Olympic meet naturally calls for the
best athletes in the world. 1t is
ridiculous today to speak of track
and field sports for Great Britain or
her colonies. France. Belgium or
Italy
Undoubtedly America will have a
strong athletic team for the next
olympic meet, no matter when or
where it is held, but the A. A. L.
might well have cautioned the Swed-
Ish authorities against too early dis
cussIou. Let's wait for the other fell
