They Have The Coin.

UNDOUBTEDLY the New
II York clubs have ther money.
They cater 10 the greatest
crowds. They can afford to pay
bnheard-of prices for players with
whom to bolster tottering teams,
even in July. What chance
would Clark Griffith, for instance
have competing with the Giants
or the. Yankees for any minor
league star? -
Now, making matters even
worse, the New York clubs have
farms within their own leagues
Whenever the Yankees need play
ers, they merely call upon the
Boston Red SoX. The Giants have
the call on Philadelphia and Bos-
ton.
This situation may not appear
serious to the leaders of profes-
sional ball, but continuance of il
is certain to bring about the de-
bacle., And when the structure
collapses, the public outside OF
New York IS not likely to shed
many tears nor lose much sleer
over the situation.
Professional baseball in the bic
leagues is rapidly becoming Q
one-city business, with fourteen
other clubs uniting to bring In
big gates in the metropolis.

They Kick Everywhere.

II ECENT Grades" have dis
X, ,gusted major league fans
everywhere. Phila ell
phians, grown callous through ILL
treatment, are making the small
est kick. But st. Louis and Chi
cago rooters are bowling in rage.
Both see deals for the single
benefit of the two New York
clubs at the expense of every
other city in the major leagues.
They don't like it and make no
bones of saying so.
) Bostonians, who have had
Frazee for a magnate for half a
dozen years, let out one last,
dying blast when Dugan was
sent to the Yankees. They lack
ed strength to complain of the
Toney- McQuillan "tradeI'
Cleveland fans, sore because
Speaker was unable to do any
thing with Frszee, are shrieking
at Frazee's methods toward the
New York Yankees. .,.
Detroit fans, on general .pur-
poses, think the Tigers are, get
ting the small end Of everything.
Chicago fans, knowing that
Gleason has had to whip his in
assorted bunch together and that
Bill KiIifer has received no. aid
from the Phiflies or the Braves,
are sore at the big town.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. 2.-The

Of Oradel, N. j., formerly of Hacken-
sack High School, who won. nine
letters in different sports while at
that school He also won the Prince

The present rule is that July
81 is the final day for all trades
or sales between clubs in the
major circuits.
. Clark c. Griffith asked last sea-
son that no trades or deals be
permitted after July 1. He was
induced to add a month to his
program.
Bread and the circus" was the
cry Of the softened, degenerate
Roman mob. "Pennants and
home runs" appears to be the
demand of the New York mob:
The ancient emperors provided
their populace with their un-
earned bread by slave labor, their
gladiatorial combats through pris-
oners Of war gained by mercenary
armies. The modern baseball
magnates are satisfying the de-
mand by huge expenditures Of
money.

One Fan Writes.

A FAN carefully guarding his
a identity from the public
eye, has written in to- this
office a wisely-worded discussion
of the Washington situation. While
anonymous letters are given short
shrift here, nevertheless, it is well
to Gull this much from the un-
known's letter: ,
Goslin, Brewer and Goebel
should be retained in the outfield.
Judge, Harris, Bluege and La
Motto should be retained in the In
field.
johnson, because of his long and
honorable career; Mogridge, be-
cause he is good at least every
fifth day; Francis and Brillheart,
because they are young and cap
able of development, should be re-
tained for the 1928 pitching staff.
All Of the remainder Of the
Washington club would, according
to this unknown fan, be sold or
traded for the best obtainable.
"If the Washington papers would
unite on a program like this,
writes the unknown, "Clark Grit
fifth would be compelled to do
something radical and stop petit
Jogging about with bush ,leagucrs
like Erickson, Turk and Young

discard, it may be possible for the
Washington papers TO get together
on q program along this line.

for a championship team to enter
imam inter-city series Of games. Ii
iss the desire of the Amateur Base
ba1l Commission Of Richmond to pro-
eeed as far as possible with the busl'
tess of arrangement.
THE situation in Richmond is
somewhat like that in this city as

Just concluding their scheduled and
starting league series.
At the conclusion OF the play
offs winning teams will be nomina'
ted for the league post-season series

Association champion.
.fAbout the time of the conclusion
Of the post-season series 1t is likely
the the winner of the independent
championship series will be declar'
a. ~.
IL Is logical to assume that the
winner Of the independent series
will challenge the winner OF the
league series fore the District OF
Columbia sandlot championship.
DEVELOPMENTS along this line are
awaited with considerable inter
est. as several factors enter such
4. series as to make It unusually
attractive.
In the meantime, Richmond is
n hnnO-Iln n.
and, from reports, has staged
games between its class A teams
which drew 1000 paid admissions.
The Richmond men want TO
know just what plans San be made
to entertain an intercity series be-
tween organized baseball winners
and are awaiting the decision OF
the District association relative 10
q proposal.
The matter will probably be taken
MP at a meeting Of the District
Baseball Association. which will be
held shortly.
From information furnished by
the Richmond secretary. Takola.

series five years ago, is leading in
the Commercial League. Lucky
