BABE RUTH'S SALE WAS
BLOW AGAINST JOHNSON
Frazec Said to Have Been Threat
ened With Ousting Process
by League Head.

NEW YORK. Jan. s.-Sale OF Babe
Ruth to the New York Yankees was
another strike in the political battle
against Ban Johnson, president of the
league, according to rumors here.
Harry Frazee's hold on the Red
Sox was being threatened by large
notes which were coming due and
which, so the story runs, the Johnson
faction was trying to secure to force
the Hub team into other hands.
The immense sum of money which
was involved in the Ruth deal will
give Frazee a firm hold or. the club
stock and foil the efforts of the
faithful nve," his friends say.

Waterloo Came in Third.

New York met its Waterloo in the
third inning. II was in this inning
that Seymour got in his fatal mis-
take. Always II is the Giant center
fielder who blows the works in cru
cial games. 1t was Fred Snodgras
who upset the apple cart in the 1912
world series.
Joe Tinker. the Chicago shortstop
opened the third against Matty, and
though Joe was about the weak kest
hitter among the Cub regulars he al
ways could paste Sir Christophc-.
Mathewson motioned Seymour to play
deep for Joe. but Cy failed to heed in
structions.
Tinker whacked a long fly to center
field. Seymour tried to back for Il
instead of turning his back, AMI IT
cleared his head for a triple.
Tinker scored the tying run a mo-
ment later on Kings warm single to
center. Brown sacrificed, Tenncy IN
assisted. and Sheckard hoisted to
Seymour for the second out. Has
Seymour caught Tinker's nv f. would
have retired the side runless.
The Washington times., 1920-01-08
Herzos Pulls "Bone.-

Under the rules a man striking out
with a runner on first base Is out au-
tomatically, whether the catcher
holds the ball or drops IT, But Bres-
nahan started to run TO nrst base.
Charley Herzog wasn't as smart a
player then as he Is now. He got II
| into his head that he was forced OFF
FIRST by Bresnahan and started toward
J second. Killing quickly snapped the
| ball down to Chance. who ran down
Herzog on the base line for a double
play.
Donlin next, smacked a double to
right. scoring Terney. Pfeister con-
tinued to go bad and walked Sey-
mour. That finished Jack the Giant
Killer. and Mordecai Brown was rush
cd TO the rescue. Brown struck out
Art Devlin, though the Georgetown
, man did lot OF yelping about IL.
The game was chock full OF bicloer-
ing and gnashing OF teeth at the UNI
pires. Chance whscked out single
In the second inning and a moment
later was caught mapping. The Old
Peerless Leader let out some shrill
growls, and Artie Hoffman. old Circus
Solly. who took up the quarrel. was
banished from the game, Howard
taking his place in center field.
The Washington times., 1920-01-08
Real Fireworks Came.

But the real fireworks started after
that. Evers walked and Schultz shot
a hot single past Devlin, King scor-
ing and Johnny taking third. Chance
then broke up the game for his team
with a double to right, sending in
Evers and Schultz with the third and
fourth runs of the inning. Matty then
settled and famed Steinfeldt.
The Giants had one great chance TO
get back in the game, but Brown was
too good for them. New York filled
the bases with none out in the lucky
seventh, but got only one run out OF
1t. Devlin opened this inning with
single to center and Mccormick
drove another to right. Brown then
took quite a chance. He purposeiy
passed Al BridweI1, filling the bases
with none out.
Larry Doyle, just recovering from
broken leg, got into the game as a
pinch hitter for Mathewson and foul
ed to King. Tenney drove in Dew
lin with a sacrifice fly to Sheckard,
but New York's hopes flickered out
when Herzog rolled to Tinker for the
third out.
The game was followed by one of
the nastiest scandals that baseball
has known. At the annual meeting
of the National League in December,
1908, IL was announced that an ef-
fort had been made to bribe Johnstone
and KLEIN, the umpires, to render all
close decisions to the Chants and
make ii possible for New York TO win
the game. The two umpires had been
approached under the Polo Grounds
grandstand and had been offered biz
rolls of banknotes.
Johnstone and Klein Immediately
reported the matter to Harry Pull
liam, president of the National
League, and he ordered a thorough
investigation.
1t was revealed that DR.. Cramer,
sporting physician around Broad
way, had offered the money to the
umpires, but .Cramer was only the
go-between. Cyamer, who had been
a great Giant fan and a regular pa
tron at the Polo Grounds, was barred
from all National League parks.
However, the league never was
able to get any proof on the real cul-
prits, and the general impression at
the time was that Cramer had been
made the goat. Cramer never got over
II, and died a broken-hesrted man
about a year ago.
While Mathewson came in for a GER
tain amount of blame for losing the
most crucial game of his career, It
Is well to remember that the game
finished the most grueling campaign
Msthcwson ever went through. and
the one in which he reached his high
water mark in the matter of victories.
He won thirty-seven games and lost
eleven for a percentage OF I'll.
He was used so necessarily in tho
last month OF the season that even
the famous Mathcwson arm began to
show signs of wcarlness. In that
final battle with tho Cubs Matty
pitched with his heart and head more
than with his sturdy right arm.
Many Became Managers.
II Il interesting to note that prac-
tically all of the players in that fam
Gus play-off game became managers
In either the majors or minors. ON
the New York side Tcnney went ba'lS
TO Boston as ma anagcr, whilc Chsricy
Herzog ran tho Reds for two and a
half years.

For Benefit Of
Women Workers

An address on Woman in Industry
and Child Welfare" was given by
Mrs. Alma J. Bartlett, OF the state de-
partment Of labor. at the regular BIZ
weekly meeting Of the League Of
Women Voters at the 7. ". c. A
Monday afternoon
Her plea was that the women OF
the league and of the state at large
join with the departments OF labor,
health and education for the purpose
OF lettering conditions among the
working women OF Texas
An eight hour day, a compulsory
school law and better child labor laws
are the three most important features
Of the program which was outlined
to the league. Mrs. Bartlett stated
that the majority Of women who work
In factories, mills or other such places
do so because Of an urgent need for
larger incomes in their homes. Their
work, however. does not pay well
enough 10 allow their hiring help TO
care for their children and they
themselves have no time. with the re-
suit that their children's educations
are neglected and all homo training
is lost.
Several Instances were cited in
which mothers had to give up their
children to the care OF the state, in
order that their health and education
be not neglected

Court UphOIdS
Statute Taxing
Dealers In Oil

United States district Judge ". r.
Smith Monday handed down an opin-
ion denying interlocutory injunction
in the case Of Somehow Brothers vs..
g. NJ CuretOn, attorney general Of
Texas, and others, pending in the
federal court at Austin.
This is a case in which plaintiff
attacked the constitutiouality Of a
Texas statute levying a tax upon the
gross receipts OF wholesale dealers in
oil in Texas. It was heard at New
Orleans on February Is. last, before
circuit Judge Walker and district
judges Grub and Smith.
The court held that the statute
levies the tax only on intrastate BUSH
ness OF the dealers and does not ex-
tend TO their interstate business and
was, therefore, within the power Of
the state legislature and is valid.
