SERIES BASEBALLS
$50 PER CONTEST

Eighty dollars for bassbaus for
each game played in the worlds
series.
That sounds big, but nevertheless
that iE approximately what IL cost ia
furnish the principal item for the
baseball classic this year.
AZ In other things, the high cost
Of living has hit basebanA which
now bring so a dozen. It Is esti-
mated four dozen balls were used in
each game.
Fouls Seldom RetuFRs
The reason that so many are used
is because balls fouled into the stands
or crowd are seldom returned. Dur
ing an ordinary game, however, most
of the balls which leave the playing
field find their way back
Manufacturers blame n cFease
prices paid for materials and the
high cost OF labor for the present
price.
Horsehide, used in covering base
balls, has increased in cost during the
past three years about 25O per cent
The wool yarn has jumped 200 per
cent. The official ball Of the Ma
tionaI League is made with a cork
center.
Even Thread II Higher.
The price Of this cork has doubled
and a special thread used has in
creased almost three times. The cork
center ball was patented August 81,
1909. 1t weighs I'VE ounces and is
nine inches in circumference. This
ball Is used in all games played in
the National League OaIl parks dur
ing the series.
Another ball, similarly made and
dopted by the American League, Is
used lin all contests in the junior
league parks.

Both Teams Agree
Not to ''Cut Down"

Apropos Of the deplorable
practice Of cutting them down
from behind" a well-knOWn ref
cree says the only way TO elimi-
nate It is for two teams about 70
clash to agree to do so. There is
no rule prOhibitiig this so-called
Indianizing, nor one to prevent
captains getting together before
a game and agreeing 10 dispense
with it. That is the way the
Massiloh and other professional
teams have worked It.
On getting together they de-
cided that they played football
but once a week, that the use Of
the play wasn't worth the risk Of
injury, and that they could play
q good deal Of hard and effective
football without it
