BASEBALL AFFAIRS.

This morning offered a splendid
chance for those interested in baseball
TO reflect a bit upon the situation.
Has the fight for the pennant been
an honest one or have they been figur-
ing, these last days. on what winners
would draw the biggest crowds in the
worlds series?
AS u foundation for the belief that
the games have been honestly played
we have the fact that few would dare
of the recent scandal. Few baseball
players, at least, who are young
enough to have years of service ahead
of them. would dare to jeopardize
their earning power for those years by
trying any trickery. Gamblers, outside
the ranks of baseball, would feel diff
| ferently; they would not care.
We have also the rooted belief that
baseball has been usually an honest
| game: il would be hard to convince us
that there has been any crookedness
| so soon after the exposure concerning
the 1919 series.
On the other hand one might be-
lieve that this very scandal would tend
TO make the crooks feel more free.
They would know that the players
would feel that no accusation would
| be apt to be made against them so
soon. and might rely on this to double
cross the public.
Then there is the illness of Ruth,
which came at bad time for the
Yankees to win.
The Giants have cinched the PEN
nant. All New York will he at the
games whether the Giants or Yankees
or both are contestants, if the games
are all played in New York. A consid-
cradle part of sport-loving New York
ers would go a long way to the world S
| series no matter where three of the
games were played.
II you believe that the baseball men
| think the greatest crowds would be
\ present If New York Gust one team
and the Giants will be one of the con-
| AfSAduNSD were 10 ne only one OF the
cities to win, and you believe those
men are crooked. Ruth will not get
well and will not DO himself unless
whatever he does would not win the
game for tho Yankees.
II you believe the baseball men be-
lieve the bigger crowds will be drawn
by holding all tho games there and
you believe the men are crooked, Ruth
will get well and will he quite himself
and il will show that his sickness was
| genuine.
There are numerous permutations
and combinations to figure if one de-
sires to argue about the honesty of
the game as played up to this time.
And there will be almost as many after
! the worlds series has been played.
