FANS SORRY FOR DOUGLAS!

gias is the fu1hllment. of threat which the manager Of the Giants made to the big tighter when he Joined the club at San Antonio last spring. Douglas was holdout and finally Csked what the club would offer in the way of salary. McGraw wired him that his salary would have to be contingent on his hebaving and that if he did not intend to behave he was not wanted. at all. eff you treat us the way you treated us last year we will drop you quick" Mo Graw told Douglas. And now Phii has been dropped.
 Always Troublesome.
 without doubt Douglas, when right, is one of the greatest pitchers in the game but we are glad to get rid of him. said Magistrate Me Quade, treasurer of the Giants, at the Polo Grounds yesterday. 'He wu- far more trouble to John McGraw than the public can appreciate. When we got the goods on Douglas we did not wait a day. We acted as quickly as possible to get him off the roster of the club and out of the game. l have no sympathy for the man - not after the way he treated us and the way we treated him."

From time to time during the pres ent ball season out-of-town fans who have chanced to be at Newf1e1d Park games have remarked that one of the mysteries of the season is that the Brown Derbies have not won more games. Yesterday, the Derbs rang up their fifth straight win, defeating Wa terbury, 5 to 3, and snatching what looked to be an easy win for the Brasscos after the finish of the first round when the Gi1bsrts tallied two runs.
 There have been fans here from who have taken the trouble to make the above "crack" on the in an out performances of the Derbs. The con- sensus of opinion expressed would fit in these words:
 "McCann has, fast bunch of play CTS. They certainly look better and play a superior grade of ball away from home. Why they don't win more games is a mystery.
 That was the case yesterday and on many more occasions.
 Whats the Trouble?
 Baseball fans are a suspicious lot of individuals-the rabid sort. They're wise to a lot of things that managers the matter with the Brown Derbies? PIayers have been asked the ques- ton. Invariably they reply:
 Don't know. We play our hard est to win.'
 At intervals during the present sea- son there have been rumors about quarrels in the ranks to petty jealous ies The average sporting writer as a rule takes little notice of the "aIarmists,' but at the same time 1t Is recognized that there must be har- mony within a ball club if 1t IS to be 8 winner.
 The outbreak between Emmertch and Irving the other day is a sign that some of the players are not on speaking terms.
