BASEBALL

The first big event last year in
baseball was made twelve days after
1921 made it's bow. On January IL,
Kanesaw Mountain Lands, Federal
Judge, of Chicago, was made High
Commissioner of Organized Baseball.
His salary was fixed at $42,5OO
ner wear and he placed his "John
Hancock" to a contract for seven
years.
At the same meeting at which
Judge Lands was installed, the
draft system of advancing minor
league players to the majors, was re-
stored. The system was accepted by
all the minor leagues with the excep-
tion of the American Association and
International. The year 1922 finds
this as thorn in the side of baseball
and it is the only problem that the
Judge has found really difficult to
handle.
He blacklisted the players OF the
Chicago American League team who
we're accused of "throwing" the
Worlds Series played in 1919 with
the Cincinnati Reds, which was real
scandal of baseball
The next big item in which the new
baseball ruler showed his teeth was
the case of Babe" Ruth. After the
last Worlds Series, the "Bambino"
went, against the warning of the
Judge, on transforming trip. AS a
result, his share of the series money,
1882, was the amount Of his fine
and he was barred from playing for
about five weeks at the start Of the
1922 season.
The Babe" dragged" down the
greatest lot of limelight on the dia
mond by his home run smashing. Ht
broke his 1920 record of sd circuit
clouts when he "stung the old apple
for SO home runs.
In the National League, the New
York Giants by a game uphill fgh
grabbed the pennant away iron
Pittsburgh. The latter team near tn
end Of the season looked like sur
winners but they "blew' an
"Muggsy" McGraw led his warrior
to another pennant.
The American League pennant wa
also won in New York, with tn
Yankees winning a see-saw race frol
the Cleveland Indians. This rae
was one of the closest in years an
the Indians were handed a lot
glory as a result of their plucky tigh
Both New York teams came in fe
great deal of "pannin' +" as a resu
of the owners buying the star player
Of the leauges.
In the Worlds Series the New Yor
fans had their fill in seeing II
Giants grab off the premier honors
winning five out of eight games.
Delaware had a big year in bas
ball and nearly every town from OF
end of the State to the other supper
ed first class team. The teams
the lower part of the State imports
many players and as result the
was the keenest of rivalry.
