XIV I aitrN frfSSl
New York, Oct 19.-MucA Of the
faint of commercialism that mas been
weakening the prestige OF baseball!
as the national sport was removed
bv the late worlds series.
The act of the New York club own
ers in turning over the receipts OF
the second game 20 charity brought
the game over very dangerous
place.
II might be said that they could do
nothing else and save baseball, but
the fact IS they did i, and their mo-
tives were relatively urimportant.
Figures showing that each club got
for it's share only ST ,2lS out OF the
total receipts Of $4S4,92l, mean tnaI
the series practically was played ior
the profit Of the PLAYERS.
Anyone familiar with what 1t costs
TO get ready and stage q series knows
that the Giant and the Yankee quo
owners lost money on the series.
For entertainment alone during
the 1921 series, the two New 1ork
clubs spent nearly $4,000 eaen
-. Because the club owners OF pen
nant winning teams do not begn! 10
pct q real cuS of the gate recelltS
until after the Ic~rth game, when. the
PLAYERS cease 10 get a share II mIghV
be- desirable for profit to have the
series 20 the limit.
When it went i'm five games, with
one game removed from the figures
IL certainly indicates that CONNER
cialiSr1 is not the factor IN baseball!
;hst skeptics have been wont TO be-
lieve. :,
Even though thev lostSmoney IT
,v,e pood business for the Giants 70
win the series in straight games.
With new park. more comno .S,l
and more accessible, being built by
the Yankees, the Giants had 70 have
some bic drawing nower TO hold then
own next wear II the fans have to
chose between the two clubs on a
basis Of class, they certainly Viii
become followers Of the Giants next
season.
Had it not been for the desire to
make the Yankees look as inferior as
uo.sible. IL is understood that Nc.
Craw planned 90 start young Jon
nard on the mound m the t!ttn game
TO give the boy p chance and get him
ready for next year.
Chances are that Jonnard would
have won his game rs the IankS
were 50 thoroughly heater before
theT went on the field that Cosey
Dolan or Hughey Jennings might
have pitched a winning game.
Basebau's hold has become 50

had been struck and that the series
hal beer ruined.
Just the reverse happened, how
ever. The crowds became greater

was closed an hour before the thirG'

The State commission wasn't any

temporary barrier in the way OF edict
that sikh couldn't fight anyone in the

Garden late in November although the
card was not as good. as SOME other
Than might have been arranged.
Ski and his manager then had
SCRAP and the battler with his white
wife and family went on vacation
INFO Holland with threats that they
would not return to Paris until their
manager gave his champion some
francs Sikh claimed tlnat he received
something like S2.75 for his trouble in
polishing Carpenter and that the rest
of the purse went elsewhere.
When an armistice was signed be

the heavyweight contenders on this

HENRY 'T.BLAKE 94,
 DIES IN NEW HAVEN
Deceased Was Principal in
 Printed Ballot Case

New Haven, April 7.-Henry Tay- Tor Blake, who died at his home in this city last night, within a few days of his s4th birthday anniversary, was remembered by reason of his connec- tion with the written ballot cases which he vigorously prosecuted. Some IS years ago, MT. Blake contended that voter had the right to write name on the ballot and had the right to have that name counted as a vote for candidate for an office. Election officers held that the mark ing of a ballot invalidated it. The is- sue went to the supreme court, and MT. Blake lost out. Simeon E. Bald win was then on the supreme court bench and was one of the justices who ruled against MT. Blake. The contention of MT. Blake for what he termed ballot reform was persistent, and for many years he interested him self in cases in which the ballot fig ured. His contentious in the court came at the time of the substitution of the present, or Australian ballot, for the former paster ballot.
 MT. Blake was graduated from Yale in 1S4S and was student when the senior society of skull and bones was organized, and was also one of the originators of the wooden spoon cere- mony, now immortalized by a bas- relief in the Hardness memorial quadrangle!

EXPECT ABOUT 300
 AT FRESH AIR CAMP
Enlarged Quarters Almost Double
 Accommodations This Year

Plans for a much larger camp than ever before are being made by of fcials of the New Britain Fresh Air camp, according to c, w. Upson, chairman of the board of directors. Instead of the 179 children taken care of at the camp last summer, 1t is ex- pected that upwards of 800 will be accommodated this year.
 Added Building.
 Another building has been remodel cd and will be used as dormitory, thus accommodating about 50 ad- ditional children. The decision to take nothing but boys at one time and only girls at another is expected to simplify the matter of sleeping rooms so as to take care of a much larger crowd.
 New Matron in Charge.
 Miss Caroline F.. Baldwin. who has been in charge the past two years, will not have the management of the entire camp this year. she having re- quested. because of her health, that some of the responsibility be shared by another. Because of this request oHC VIII IdNC CIldl SC Ol SIOup Ol girls, in the smaller house, when the girls are in camp, and a supervising matrons will be procured. The ma tron has not yet been selected.
 Physical Supervision.
 Another innovation will be that of having trained physical directors on the ground all the time. Instead of being turned loose to choose their own games, the children will be under expert supervision and their recrea- tion will be laid out on a regular pro- gram.
 The physical director of the Hart ford High school has been engaged to supervise the athletic training of the boys. giving them swimming les sons, etc. A suitable athletic instruc- tor for girls will be provided also.
 Some of the same staff which served last year will be on the job again this year. A dietician will be engaged to the feeding of children.
