 The plight of Douglas strengthens the argument that the Worlds Series is slowly but surely ruinin& the na- tional game. The players greed for golden spells has made clean sports manship of secondary importance. Douglas has been caught red-handed, but what about other star players who long have been under both sus- picion and surveillance?
 There is only one way to save base ball from a wrecking all over the country. The Worlds Series should be reduced in money value and every suspected player should be released internationally. Players who gam ble or associate with gamblers or have been sued by gamblers for unpaid bets should be barred for all time.
 Instead of cutting up more than s2O0,O00 among the participants in the Worlds Series, the powers that be should amend the rules so that each member of the winning team would receive not more than $1,500 and each member of the beaten team $1,000. The seconcr and third teams in each league should be eltm1natec from the melon cutting and the prices . of admission to the Worlds Series

games should be not more than 50 cents, 1 and $2.
 The time has arrived for the mag mates to wipe out so-called commer- cialism and to put a stop to the greed and avarice of the players. The Worlds Series is the root of all evil. It has made the players money-mac q and has attracted the attention of professional gamblers who know how to line their own pockets without running dangerous risks.
 If the governors of baseball do not see the handwriting on the wall they must take the blame when the big slump in popular interest comes The public loves the game and hates to believe that it used to be. The dis graceful sell out of the 1919 Worlds Series was forgotten until this Dou- glas matter became public.
 Surely Douglas isn't the only player who is willing to do business,' said a former big league club owner the other day ''There are others who have aroused suspicion as a result of their companionship with cheap crooks and touts and every one of them should be placed under the ban''

 A special 60-yard match race which will pit Blanche Dixon against Blanche Merrill, of the New Depart ure team of Bristol, who is the best girl runner in the state, should prove very interesting. A 440-yard relay for girls should also bubble with interest. The Bridgeport A. C.. New Departures of Bristol, and University Service girls of New York will be contenders.
 The Bridgeport A. c. with an entry Mst of close to 150 should capture the point trophy. New Haven liar riers and Stamford A. c. come next in line in order mentioned. There will be close to TOO entries and the games will start at 2 o'clock.

The teams array against each other, is Eastern against the best of the 1n- ternational.
 Orioles SIugger's Outfit
 The Baltimore team is noted chief ly for being a slugging combination. There are very few pitchers in the International that have been able to put the crusher the swatting efforts of Manager Dunn's flock of sluggers. Dunn has depended every season upon the brute hitting strength to win for him with pitch ing being negligible.
 Outside of Ogden and Bentley, who plays first when not decorating the slab, the rest of the Oriole hurlers do not amount to much, though Thomas this season has shown great flashes of form. These three will probably work the series for BaIti- more. Both Ogden and Thomas are right handlers while Bentley f1ips 'e1n a"rcse from the other side of the mound,

 Dick Loftus is being given a rest on the bench. Enmerich being shifted back to the outfield, while Marty Fiedler was sent back to his old sta ton at third base. Marty demonstrat- ed that an occasional layoff works no harm to the ball player. In the two games he handled 12 chances error 1ess1y and hit safely three times.
