When a manager makes substitutious
in his lineup, he is always tempting
fate.
If his changes work out properly.
and play a part in winning the hall
game, he is labeled a wise guy.
If his pinch hitters or pitchers fail
to deliver and the game is lost,
then he is classed as q dub. 1t is
simply gamble which the second
guesser can always pick 70 pieces.
i have seen many bal game broken
up through a swat by some pinch hit
ter. l have seen many a pinch hitter
take up a tense situation and gct away
with it.
Likewise, / have seen a great many
more pinch hittcrs and pitchers "fliv

However, during the first series at
Philadelphia last year between the A,h-
leticS and Detroit, saw pinch batters
on three successive days cone through
and save the day.
When manager makes suhstituti"nS

MINORS REALIZING
MAJORS INTEND TO
CONTROL BASEBALL
Aim of Big FELLOWS, lndi.
Gated in Draft, More
and More Dubious.
RY John Il. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1898, by The San Antonio Light.
New York. Jan. 15.-Hardly a day
passes that it is not more and more
dcply drilled into the minds that direct
in the destinities of the minor leagues,
that the major leagues intend to more
and more firmly establishing themselves
on the top of the pile.
BY whatever arrangement it may be
described, it has grown upon minor
league owners that the majors mean to
control each year total OF go of the
most prominent bali players in the
United States. This fact was mentioned
previously but it was overlooked in
the ClamOr over what the minors called
violation of the draft agreement by the
big boys.
The minors realize today that If they
accept players from the ajors until the
sO-called trick optional agreement, they
are not improving their condition at
all, except for the moment. Instead
they believe they are merely strengthen
ing the grip Of the majors on each sea-
sons output of the apparently high
class players.
Each major club may have 10 play
crs until June 10, when the number
must be cut TO -. The rejected fifteen
players. il they go to the minors, must
be carried through July and August and
POSSIBLY September and then go back
10 the majors without having done the
minors much good.
TO get right down TO hard-pan and
facts said n minor league owner 10
the writer. 1.-THE method means that fif-
teen players are loaned 10 us on or be-
fore June IL. We haven't the slightest
.rsirc for them now because if they are
not recalled they arc subject to the draft
and are therefore not ours unless no
one wishes TO draft them. In that case,
why should be want them? If they are
not good enough to be drafted. they are
not good enough TO win games for us.
The majors have decrecd the new ar
Tangcment by which We arc to assist
them in holding n monopoly of the best
$40 players in evidence at the begin
ming of the ball year. We may get Il
few pennies for developing some
wouldn't it be far better for us TO go
into unexplored regions for our players.
bring them up the best We can and re-
manning alOOf from the draft and get
WHAT We VAN lot lu'lu. II Is ClUCn the
majors are not going to give us any
ching for the $40 they already own. II
this now arrangement is TO be continued
permanently. we arc TO be the nice little
fall guys who help big brother continue
10 wear his white flannels in summer
and sPalsIin coat in winter
That statement voices some Intcrna-
tioual League and American Associa-
ton sentiment There is no doubt about
the grip on the $40 players by the six
teen major league clubs. Particularly
is this true in California and in Ger
tain American Association cities where
there is a feeling that they have the
true American right 10 have their great
players Just the same rs New York
or Chicago.

With Chewing Gum and
Goes to Bat Minus 1t

Chicago. Jan. 15.-Eddic Collins
has peculiar superstition about hit
ting.
In the field Collins chcws gum.
When he goes to bat, he removes
the gum and places it on the button
on top of his cap.
He permits the gum 10 remain
there until he goes back t, the field.
provided he hits the ball before get
ting two strikes on him
The moment the pitcher gets two
strikes, Collins removes the gum
from the button and starts chewing
il.
It's just a habit, not a super
stition,' says Collins in explaining
the habit, but ball players know diff
fcrent.
However. the wad Of chewing gum
is an essential feature of Collins
makeup. He would no sooner think
of starting n ball game without
wad Of gum in his mouth than play
ing the infield barc-handCd.

BIGGEST SEASON ON
INDOOR TRACKS GETS
UNDER WAY IN EAST
Competition in Mile Run,
Sprints and High Jump
Promising.

Copyri sht 1898, by The San Antonio L.Eu'.
New York, Jan. 15.-In the light OF
the meet of the Osceola club Of New
York which opened the indoor track sea-
son Of 1923 the writer ventures the pre-
diction today that the current winter
will be the greatest the sport has ever
known.
This statement is based not only the
size Of the attendance and the enthus-
iasm that developed, but upon the wide
geographical distribution of the partiri-
pating athletes as well as their ability in
various specialties. From now until
the middle of March every week will
see two or more important meets in New
Norli, with Buffalo, Philadelphia. BAL
tirnore, Boston, Newark, Chicago, -.
Louis and other cities contributing their
quota. not forgetting outstanding per-
formeres from the various collegiate Gen.
tcrs.
Just at present, the high points Of
the indoor season are the MillTOse
games in New York-thc great Want
maker classic-and the intercollegiate
meet held early in March. The confer
cncc ii indoor championships st-nl out
in the Chicago area while the Johns
