LURE OF GOTHAM
COIN MAY MAKE
HOT FLAG RACES
Big New York StadiumS Spur
to Ball Players in Both
Leagues.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 26.-Another
world series staged privately in New
York Will mean almost $4,000 each
TO the winning players and nearly as
much to the losers.
This bait dangling before their fin
gers should make the Giants and the
Yanks mighty hard to beat In the
pennant races. It is sufficient to
make even some of the languid Yanks
shift into high gear.
The erection of the New York sta
dunn to accommodate a crowd Of TO-
900 and the Improvements in the Polo
Grounds which will increase the ca
pacity to 81 900 should provide
stimulus to the eight clubs in both
leagues.
In addition to d much greater purse
Tor the athletes who will fight it out
in the series if one end is staged in
New York, there also will follow
substantial increase in the money that
will be split among the clubs that
finish second and third in both
pennant races. The fight for third
place in the American League should
be a hummer and the contest in the
National League should be just as
warm.
It might be suggested that the fact
that there are two big parks in New
York adds to the dangers of COM
mercialism that is said to be threaten
ing baseball; but if it makes the teams
hustle and creates two great pennant
races the fans will not be overly con-
cerned about how much money the
magnates make out of it.

Kallio some time or other Topped
Jack and then Jack Topped some
of the boys who had topped
Kallio and Jack disagrees with
Kallio that he has any claim to
his worlds title.
That is the way it sounds. Kallio's
management wants to meet Jack, win
ner take the hall or anything else and
Jack says he will wrestIe anybody any
where at his weight just so there is
some jack showing some where.
So It looks like 1t is up to the COM
mission and the Indianapolis fans as
to whether or not Jack and Gus will
settle their little argument about who
should wear the diamond studded belt
and so on and so forth.
Wrestling has labored under a
handicap for years. That handicap has
been the easiness with which wrestlers
have been able to fleece the fans. 1t
isn't done as much as it was in years
past, but the stain has not been
erased.
If Gus Kallio is a good match for
Jack Reynolds we say let them go
