WHAT THEY SAY

When Death Valley Jim Scott
packed up his grip and went to the
coast a lot of folks said he was
slipping. Joe Jenkins used to
catch Big Jim and declares he has
all the stuff he had when he was
rated as the best pitcher in the
American League. jenkins says:
IT cannot see any difference be-
tween the Scott of today and the
Scott of the time when he starred
for the white Sox. I notice, how
ever, that he is as unlucky as ever.
The White Sox seldom made many
runs for him and the San Fran
cisco Seals seem to find it harder
to score runs when he is pitching
than they do when their other Twill
ers are working"

Ia question of money. I have not
the pleasure of knowing personally,
the local manager. Mr.. Mullen, but,

~perience / know a team like the
Penn Red Caps which came here
Sunday costs at least $4,000 so
where does the manager of the local
team get off. As q rabid fan, but
humble observer, it seems to me the
biggest expense item Is the ground
rental which for . bunch Of sports
ment like the r. c. w. A. A. savors
of p~rofteering. The Local team has
some players (Romer. Hand, Apple
gate, Bader, etc.) who are very close
to big league class and it certainly
is q pity to see them, so to speak,
wasting their sweetness on the des-
ert air" 1t speaks volumes for tbs
personal popularity of Mr.. Mullen
that such players stick to him and
do not go elsewhere to display their
undouhted ability for proper anan-
cial reward. The Raritan Copper
Works A. A. have the solution !
their hands and I feel sure the mat
-Aer has only to be presented to them
in the true light to induce them to
charge a reasonable rent and SO en-
able the local management to put
teams like Tesreau's Bears in the
field. Our boys cannot improve with
opposition of the class they have
been getting and our budding Babe
Ruths and Alexanders will never
bloom unless they meet foemen
worthy of their steel. The sport has
a good hold on our city now and its
up to the r. C. w. A. A. to do the
right thing and push it along by
renting their grounds at 2 reason
able figure which in my eslamation is
much less than 80 per cent. of the
o receipts.
