He noticed the runner On third pre-
pairing to steal home, stopped his de-
livery, stepped out of the box and
threw to the catcher. The catcher
brushed aside the batter and ran in
front of the plate to get the rum

I'VE Immediately argued that the
catcher should not have jumped in

by the pitcher and we were entitled
to the run with another runner on
third.
"AIl the Helmetta players. except
ing Pitcher Mondoker. were ready to
resume playing. Mondoker claimed
that the runner should be sent back
to third, which point we could not
see. At this period it began to rain.

such an assertion that it did not
rain.

MAURER To PLAY
First of Three Game Series
to be Played This Sum-
day Afternoon

Messrs. Frank Brown and John NJ.
Urbanski of the Lehigh and Maurer
baseball teams respectively, have
completed arrangements for a three
game series to decide the champion
ship of North Amboy. according to
an announcement made by the
Maurer manager.
The first game of this series will
be staged on the Maurer grounds.
Sunday afternoon and it is probable
that all of the games will be played
on this field. Wagenhoffer will prob
ably do the pitching for the Maurer
nine in the three games. if that
number is needed to decide suprem-
acy. McGinnis probably will draw
the assignment for the Lehigh out
fit.
Both teams are expected to use
their regular lineups for these
games. Last Sund y the Maurer
outfit suffered a defeat at the hands
of the Catholic Club nine of Plain
fielc, while the Lehigh team was be-
ing outscored by the Harmony Club
of Roosevelt.
Manager Urbanski has indicated
that he will play every team which
recently took part in the issuance of
challenges directed at the Maurer
aggregation.

This deal was made just twenty
four hours in advance of the rulc to
prevent such major league trades
after August 1.
For several years there has been
much printed concerning the fashion
in which the national pasttime was
being commercialized. There has
been talk also of syndicate baseball.
Plenty of Deals
The many deals that have been
made between the New York Giants
and the Boston Braves and the New
York Yankees and the Boston Red
SoX, have tended to encourage this
gossip.
| have it on the very best author
ity that the American League will
make a rule mex year to prevent
the sale of star players during the
actual playing season.
Any exchanges that are to be put
over must be made during the win
ter During the playing season the
only deals possible will involve play
ers on whom a club seeks waivers.
A number of American League
owners with whom L have talked
strongly favor such a rule. There il
no doubt hat it would work for tn
good of the game.
In the first place it would proven
clubs from putting over big deals a
they enter into the home stretch
incidentally it would work for the
show the fans that the game hasn'
become entirely commercialized.

DOUGLAS OUT
Of BASEBALL
Giants Best Pitcher Offered
to Quit Team for Cash
Consideration

Phil Douglas, the last of the
Giants mountain-sized pitchers, has
been barred from baseball forever.
This decision was reached yesterday
by Judge X. NJ. Lands. commits
sioner of baseball, after evidence
had been submitted to him by Man
ager John j. McGraw of the New
York Giants.
Douglas. it is said, wrote to a
player of another league team that
he would quit the Giants if another
team contending for the pennant
would pay him enough. This is
taken to mean that his absence
from the diamond would do damage
enough to cost the Giants a pen
nant.
The big Southerner withdrew
from the straight and narrow path
Immediately after working his turn
against the Pittsburgh Pirates and
he did not turn up again until the
day before yesterday. Last season
he departed from the Giant camp so
often that it was necessary for Man
ager McGraw 10 have one man
watching him all the time. This
year the same practice was carried
out, but up to the time of his recent
departure he had been going along
good and his guard felt that con-
slant attention was not necessary.
The next news was that Douglas
had vanished.
The action of the baseball COM
missioner puts Douglas in a class
with Chase. Zimmerman, the Chi
cago Black Sox and a few others.
The club or player Douglas has
been attempting to deal with has
not been made known.

Too much is plenty.
Unquestionably that will be the
attitude Of the major league clubs
soon on any mid-season sale of
sta ball players.
At present the sporting pages are
giving much attention to the two
New York Clubs activities along
this line.
Recently the Yankees put over a
trade for Joe Dugan and Elmer
Smith of Boston. giving in exchange
Eewster, Miller, Mitchell, and a
pitcher yet to he selected.
On the surface it isn't a bad deal
for the Boston club. Mitchell is a
pretty good shortstop and Boston
needed one badly. Chick Fewster,
until hit by a pitched ball and badly
injured, was the most promising
young infielder in the American
League. Miller is a good outfielder.
