more interested in basketball at that time.
 Tt is probably true, that a profes- sional team will draw bigger crowds than an amateur bunch, but with small audiences, how is the manager going to pay the salaries demanded by star players? It is impossible to pay big money when the crowds nev- CT go over 500.
 Down in Pennsylvania where bas- keuba11 is firmly established, they draw crowds of 4.000 to almost every game. The men of the mining towns are interested in the sport, and other forms of amusement are not giving such keen comp etition. If the same condition were true here, basketball would go just as good in Bridgeport as it does in Carfb ondale. r 'I honestly believe that no money was ever made by any manager in the professional game in this sec tion. Everyb ody will admit that the manager should make as much as the player, but he never does. It looks as if big basketball is a dead is-

JESS BURKETT'S SECRET OF SUCCESS

Apropos Of the signing of Jess Burkett by the Giants for another year there comes to mind a story of an interview given by the veteran to a newspaper man on the secret of his success as a hitter in the long ago. The writer had been assigned d to obtain such an interview, and seeking Burkett out at his hotel, ex- p1ained his mission. Burkett re- ceived him courteous1y and suggested that they adjourn to the lounge. Seat ing himself Comfortably, Jess took out a cigar, but off the end, lighted it. took few puffs and then said:
 'tT11 tell you, son, what it was. Any time I went tip there to hit I had the old confidence That's an"
 And that was all The old boy had nothing to add to it, because he could think of nothing else that fig ured importantly in his hitting Which may or may not be an interesting lesson in psychology.

Whats the matter with basketba a II. was a question asked yesterday by the Times. The demise of the profess sional game in these parts was given as the answer to this conundrum, but former manager of 'fbig'' teams stepped in today and rehearsed his own opinions on the subject.
 "Automo obfles are the real cause of the basketball slunp,'' declared the old-t1me magnate. Tt used to be that most of the people had to stay in their home towns and seek amuse- ment there, but since so many now own autom obiles, 1t is easy for them to go to other cities in search of pleasure. After supper they jump into their cars and go for a ride, or attend a show in another town. This hurts basketball.
 More theatres and movie houses have also had a bad effect on the game. Lots of people would rather go to the movies than a basketball game. In the old days, the small towns never had more than one thea ire, and the people naturally were

they accept the income tax While there's baseball, there's Shanks is their attitude. Fans who think and who watch the Senators play day in and day out know how unfair this is to a really deserving athlete. Howard may not be a Jimmy Collins. but at the same time he is a doggone good ball player.
 There is really little left to say about the capabilities of Joe Judge, so he will be dismissed in somewhat less time than it takes a grand opera Yankees have sought Joe time and American League but Clark Griffith, however, is nothing if not a keen student in baseball values. and he naturally refused to divorce himsek from the clever and reliable Judge.
 There should be some classy dou- b1e play work around second base in Washington this season. Peck to Harris to Judge should be one of the classics of the next couple of years. Harris is perhaps the best particular line of en6eavor- He has fine underhand throw, variation of pitchers crossfire, that enables him to whip the leather to the first baseman- There is no lost motion or lost time by Harris in cooking hss arr. for a throw. He just whips tho ball away, and 1t travels on lfne. Peck, with his great experience an4 greater sense is a fine double play man, as all New York fans kn&Bb

The Washington team this season will boast one of the best fnfields In the American League. Until acqu1r- ing Sir Roger from the Red Sox the Senators were not rated highly. This will serve as one instance of where a single man makes a team formida- b1e. Critics of play in the American League are inclined to rate the Yankees on top. with the Senators and Indians Just about even and then the Red Sox leading the rest. The Tigers, needing a second baseman and shortstop. are not well thought of
 It is going to take some real hard clubbing to shoot hits through the infield of the Senators this season. It was task last year when Griffith and Mcbride were experimenting with Frank ORourke and Donie Bush It will be injuring no one to say that Peck outran4zs these men by several notches. Bush is well past his athletic peak and OsRourke, as all the world knows is troubled with a wooden arm. He could not break a pane of glass at 30 feet, and throws from deep shortstop were quite be- yond him
 As the Senators will probably take the field this coming season Judge will be on first base. Harris will hold dow.: second and Shanl1s will work on the right hand of Peck. Shants is a converted outieIder. and never has come in for lis juSt share of credit. Down in Washington they accept him iu the same manner as
