IT is true that before 1905 other
series had been played which. incor-
rectly 1t may be set down, were call
ed world series. Not until 1905 did
the inter-league contests assume the
bona-tide distinction of being set
down as real world series. 1t was
the case, for instance, to refer to
the games for the Temple cup as
world series games, but this was
wholly In error. The Temple cup
games were between teams of the
same league, and how In the world
could such be termed world series?"

seriously computed the records of the
games between Baltimore and New

contests which began In 1906 and
which have been annual events TO
the present day. Indeed, the discipline
In some of the alleged world series
one bushes when they are referred
to as world series contests.
Suffice to say. 1t was the LACK of
discipline, coupled with the absence
of anyNgoverning authority, added to
the possibility of the series breaking
up in dispute, that made John r.
Brush refuse to play Boston IN a
post series with the Giants in 1904.
And on this refusal of Mr.. Brush re-
suited the world series as we know
the conflict today. Brush. a credit
to the national game, diplomatist
of high order. realized what might
be the outcome of an unregulated
world series and out of this incident
grew the admirable regulations and
safeguards which operate in a world
series nowadays.
The world series, as at present con-
stituted. Is played under the Brush
world series rules, which were adopt
ed in time to become operative for
the fall season of 1905, and as the
New York Nationals won the cham
pionship of their league for the sec
ond time in succession that year, the
author of the rules felt that he had
not labored in vain.
Objects of World Series.
The writer had the pleasure of as
sisting Mr.. Brush in drafting the
rules and knows full well the intent
of his mind. This is what he set
out to do and did:
First-He provided full league con-
troll for all games.
Second-He provided for the super
vision of the receipts and their dis
tribution.
Third-He made it possible to hold
discipline over players, some of whom
badly broke bounds in previous post
season series.
Fourth-He made the club owners
as responsible as the players.
Fifth-He provided for the umpires
in strictly base ball way.
Sfxth-He tried to make it plain
that the idea of the series was solely
to reward the players.
In the latter instance. as time has
progressed, the owners have felt that
they were entitled to something. too,
and little by little the world series
has developed into a gamble for re-
ceipts in which the owners are as
much concerned as the players.
The result has been to increase
costs and prices greatly without do
series, with all its safeguards, has
dealt base ball its hardest Slows.
Some. of the real base ball enthusiasts
have contended that the annual inter-
league contest-with the sordid ele-
ment of big money" which il so
ngenders-should be abolished. The
big money" element certainly has
done the pastime much harm. One
of the most pronounced grabs was
put into effect when the number of
games was increased from seven to
nine. The public awakened to this,
however. and the subsequent cIamor
caused the number of contests to be
restored to seven. The story of the
world series, year. by year, from 1905
to the forthcoming contest this fall,
is the story of base ball. however.
