"Commish" Makes No Announcement Anent
 Worlds Series MOnay

Cincinnati, June 12.-After brief session today the national baseball commission adjourned without mak- ing any announcement relative to the division of money of the worlds cham pionship baseball series next fall. It was the briefest meeting held in many years by the commission, and at its conclusion members stated that an- nouncement of it's decision proba bly, would not be made for several days
 The question considered by the su- preme court of baseball was whether the old rule. dividing a share of the worlds series money between ciuos finishing third and fourth in both major leagues should be continued or whether only the clubs finishing sec- ond should be allowed a share of tie receipts.
 Several of the clubs are known to have favored a revision of the rules, while others opposed any change.
 John Heydler, president of the Ma tional league. and B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, who, with August Hermann, are members of the commission, left the city to- night, Heydler going to St. Louis and Johnson to Chicago.

 Decision

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 13.-In Chattanooga and Atlanta today battIed 23 innings at Andrews field with the score standing and 2 when the game was called on ac- count of darkness after lasting three hours and 30 minutes. The game was featured by the pitch ing of "Rube" Marshall of Chat tnnooEa, allowing only two bunts after the fourteenth inning and going the entire 23 innings with out n base on balls. The Atlanta team put up remarkable fielding exhibition, going through the grind with but one fielding misplay.
 The Chattanoogans scored their two runs in the second and third and went the last 20 innings with out run. In the second Bates reached third on MOore's wide throw past first and scored on Am derson's long fly to left. In the third Higgins hit, got big lead off first with Roberts winding up and went on to third when the pitch was wide. Marshall hit safe ly past short scoring his catcher, but was doubled up on Griffith's hot one to short.
 Griffith led the first with hit, but was nipped off second. Graff beat scratch after the double play in the third, hut was not advanced. Rates got n pass in the fourth, hut did not get by first. Both Atlanta runs off Marshall were due to gross discourtesy on the part of the At- lanta players in hitting waste balls. In the fourth Galloway beat a bunt but was forced by HerndOn. After Bratchi popped out Griffin singled to left, reaching far over the plate. HerndOn moved to second and scored on Styles double.

he is a terrific clouter. There have beer many infielders who never were blessed with n great assortment of gray mattel who held their jobs simply because of their remarkable mechanical play.
 Some star pitchers were considerabIya shy in mental equipment. Few greater1 twirlers evc lived than "Rube" WaddeIl who never was more than a big boy a. far as brains were concerned. The same was true of Bugs Raymond, a satel lite for years. Neither man possessed ar abundance of brains, but eac1 owned al to survive tEe storms of many big league battles.
 But with g catcher it is radically diff ferent
 There never was big league catchers of any prominence who wasn't uuick4 thinking. crafty individual Mike Kelly Buck Ewing. Charlie Bennett, Silver3 Flint, Billy Sullivan, George Gibson, Jack o'Connor, Johhny kling and Charlie, Zimmer of the old Cleveland Spiders Vilbert Robinson, Jimmy Archer, Ray3 Schalk. Steve O'Neil, Charlie Dooin. Wal lie Schang, Bill Killfer-all were men ofs brains,
 why is it1hat catchers make the bests nlaraccrs and why is it that a catcher must ee f1ainy to be a suceess?"
 The question was put to Robinson of the5 Dodgers, the same Robinson, who in thes days of the Baltimore Orioles, shone withs exceeding brillancy and took rank thenS with the greatest backstops of all time
 "A catcher, after all is said and done. must serve as the brains of the team, answered Robinson. Mind you, I am not trying to throw bouquets at my ownl branch of baseball when I say that Il merely utter truth long known to ex perienced baseball men.
 The catcher is the only man on the whole ball club who has the whole feldl befor" him in closeup fashion The pitcher works with his back to the in-S field and outfeld; the infielders have theira backs to the outfielders; while the gar- deners are so far removed from the zonel of Ilate operations that they cannot visions all the trifling details of play there
 But a catcher sees all-and must know all that is going on. The result of every contest hinges largely on the pitchers g, effectiveness. No one but smart catch-a CT can tell whether the pitcher is in al winning mood If the pitcher is wob- bling, the catcher must steady him. Ifs there is but little chance to steady that5 pitcher, then it is up to the catcher to tip eff the manager to stick in a relief twirler before it is too late. The smart catcher does that; one lacking in base ball judgment would fail
 A catcher must Know what kind Ofs ball every batter can hit, and which kind he can't rap safely. He must be a stu dent of every foeman in the league, and then impart his knowledge to every young twirler on the team as well as keep the older ones informed. He must be brainy because otherwise he wouldn't be able to map out plays to trap baserunners, or to halt men who have about decided to try to steal a bag
 "A catcher needs brains-plenty of them for he must not only do the thinking for his own position. but for men in other positions who may be bit slow mental1y.'

 Manager Ellis plundering Tigers will mix matters with Manager Lutz's heavy hitting Graymonters this after noon, in a double-header. on Munger's field. Pratt City defeated the Gray mont team last Saturday, and will try to cop the series by taking today's games.
 Weaver and More will probably pitch for the Graymonters, while it is thought that Stamps and Roberts will uphold the standards of the Pratt City aggregation. Roberts is a southpaw. and ought to puzzle Graymont, as this club is weak against left handler
 The game is causing a great deal of interest among the Pratt City fans, as both are strong, hard playing teams. The game will be called at 2:30 on Munger's field
