What has Frazee sold?
The Ohioans have purchased the
poorest baseball team outside of
the Phillies. They have purchased
a park in a desirable section of
Boston. They have purchased a
baseball plant sadly in need of
repairs and paint, especially
paint. They have purchased a
franchise in the American League
which will be worth to them in
accordance with what hard work
and money they put into it. They
have also obtained a legacy of
hatred and suspicion from Frazee
which may require years to be
dissipated.
Boston newspapers show the
trend Of the times in baseball
there. Few give much space to
the big leaguers. They "play up"
the college teams, the boxing
bouts, the boat races, golf tourn-
ments and even bike races down
at Revere Beach.
Before the major leagues can
hope to regain popularity in Bos-
ton they will have to convert the
newspapers. That will be a diff
cult task.
The Washington times., 1923-05-28

More than 10000 cash cus--
toners witnessed the three games
and an equal number patronized
the score boards, to say nothing
of the ticker patrons and those
in front Of impromptu bulletin
boards, established for the emer-
gency in remote sections. Over
night, it became the City Of
Brotherly Shove.
This is the same town that was
supposed to be immune to base
balls lure. The sudden rise of the
Athletics from a chronic loser to
the most prominent contender has
worked a miracle. AS a topic of
parior conversation baseball has
taken precedence over the national
debt, lavender sleeve garters, Mr..
Bryan, the ability of some gentle
man to come right out with a seven,
the Ruhr rumpus, housemaids' knee,
and the possibility that America
will go prohibition.
In brief, Philadelphia has real
lied what the rest Of the country
will recognize ultimately. ]. g.,
and to wit, that the Athletics are
a contender that will contend
right on down to the end Of the
campaign.
Connie Mack's outfit is no morn
ing glory. 1t is fine ball club
Just beginning to realize it's posi-
bilities. 1t has everything that
first division club should have-five
winning pitchers; Perkins, one of
the leading catchers; Galloway and
DYKES, a strong second base COM
bination; a good outfield, featuring
Wild Matthews, a youth known as
Sparkle because Of his enterprise,
dash and winning spirit. 1t also
has enough hitting to carry it along
with the best.
The writer does not claim that
the Philadelphia Athletics are the
coming champions Of the Ameri-
can League. Neither does he de-
preciate their chances. Both con-
tentiOns would be bit premature
at this early moment.
But If the Athletics are to con-
duct a two team battle with the
Yankees, they will have this adj
vantage over the Higgins entry:
A young team coming into the
flush of it's first success will play
base ball far beyond its normal
ability.
We had an example of this in the
Boston Braves OF 1914; the Phillies
Of 1915, and the Cincinnati Reds
Of 1919. All of them young teams,
their first taste of success made
them believe they were the great

In the Old Days.

In the Old Days.
WYE were once a sports editor
\" in Boston. That was in
" the old days of the John
l. Taylor regime. In those days
baseball was a serious subject to
the people of Boston.
We had a young man writing
baseball for US. His name was
Watts. He remained on that job
because he was a wonderful
plugger. There were others on
the staff who could provide the
colorful f1ourishes, but Al Watts
was the guy who got even the
dreams and nightmares of the
rockies during the night previous.
He was responsible for the small
est details connected with the two
major league clubs, the fans de-
manding every little jot and title
connected with the athletes.
Baseball has changed since
those days, not only in Boston
but everywhere else. The mag
mates and the players have, gone
money-mad, the parks have grown
like mushrooms, the world
war and the Chicago Black Sox
scandal have come and gone.
Major league baseball today is
looked at from a different angle.
AL Watts was a good reporter
back in 1909. He came back
with the entire story. But if he
were writing baseball today in
Boston instead of covering the
courts he would die of inanition.
He couldn't get a 1.-THE of his
news printed.
Until the fans want their favor
tie writer's to give them baseball
in large doses the major leagues
are going to have a rough time
of it in Boston. Right now it is
hard to see when this change of
heart will come, if it does come
at all.

DICK TORRES A FAILURE

Dick Torres, for two years star

and has been turned back to the
Griffmen. He probably viii be sent

berOfe hlttlng the road again the
Griffmen will play every club in
the league except the Boston Red
Sox.
The Tigers make their debut here
a week from tomorrow, playing a
four-game series. After them, each
being booked for four games, come
the Browns, White Sox and Indians
in that order, the latter closing their
series here on June FL.
The GriffS have a short series at
Philadelphia, beginning on June 90.
The Mackmen will come here for
one game on Sunday, June "a, and
the Boston Red Sox will come for
four games beginning June %.
Eliminating those four games in
Philadelphia toward the end of
the month, the GTiffmen will play
ut home from now till July /. or
moro than month. 1t is during
these coming weeks that thew
must hit their stride, If they
have one to hit.
The Griffs completed their first
long trip away from home in Bos-
ton on Saturday, arriving here yes
terday morning. The trip was not
successful, especially with the Yam
KEGS and Mackmen running wild
through the Western country.
The team was unfortunate IN

Sam Rice and Joe Judge are

roller to Pipp. Evans singled and
went to third on Peck's double as u
starter in the second, but the next
three lads were helpless. Save for
the sixth, never again did the
Griffs look dangerous.
DOME Bush ordered wallace
Westinghouse Warmoth to the hill.
He battled his way along till there
was one out in the sixth, when he
faded to let Jonkheer Baskerville
Hollingsworth finish the struggle.
1t didn't matter much by that time,
anyway, the Yanks having done
their worst.
However, while Warmoth doesn't
exactly deserve any tears, he wasn't
all to blame. He had some tough
luck hooked UP with the run
making.
Bucky Harris and Joey Evans
gummed WarmOth's cards in the
first inning, making it possible
for the Yanks to hop into q
three-run lead. Clean fielding
would have stopped the cham
piOns without a tally.
Two were gone when Harris
fumbled Babe Ruth's grounder, CIV
ing him life. Warmoth immedi-
ately passed Pipp; showing his
heart was in the right place. He
might have made him hit into a
forced play, but that would be
strange for a Washington picther.
Up came Bob Meusel, who

In the third Babe Ruth pounded
single down the first base line
after two had died and went to
third when Pipp shot a hot one
down the line that Judge could not
hold. Then Ruth proved himself a
clever lad on the bases by forcing
Warmoth to balk, letting him score.
Meusel took a walk but Warmoth
managed to fan Schang.
Warmoth went to pieces in the
sixth when with one gone he passed
Meusel and Schang. Ward bounced
double off Bucky Harris shoulder
into right field, scoring Meusel.
Manager Bush called upon Hollings-
worth who was greeted by a double
from SCOTS bat, scoring Schang
and Ward. Jones whitfield and Witt
died on a fly to Goslin.
Witt singled in the ninth with
one gone and tailed when Joe
Dugan pumped triple to right.

ORE SHIPMENTS INCREASE.

That mining in the Tombstone
district has increased in scope
during the past thirty days is
evidenced by the fact that every

loading facilities became so tax
ed that the railroad company
was compelled to either build
another platform or take Condo.

choate mills of two years ago

TWO TRAINS OF AUTOMOBILES.

Transportating the biggest
single shipment of automobiles
ever made to one state at one
time, two Southern Pacific trains
are moving west to California,
one by way of Ogden and the
other by way of El Paso. The
shipment is from the Nash auto
mobile factory at Kenosha, Wis,
to Nash distributors in Califor-
MIA, and is valued at about a
million dollars.
There are sixty freight cars in
each train, and five automobiles
in each car, making a total of
900 automobiles in the shipment.
Practically all of them were
sold before the trains left Keno
sha, according to the Nash dis.
tributors.
The first train left Kenosha

way of Ogden, made up entirely
of new automobile freight cars,
