Harris had little to say concerning
the value to the club of Alec Ferguson,
right-hand pitcher who also was OBJ
tanned from the Yanks Monday by the
waiver route.
You know we are quite shy of re-
serve pitching talent" he remarked,
"and Alec may come in handy during
the stretch drive. He has not done
so well this year, according to the
records, but he ought to have some
good pitching left in his arm, and a
ball club never can have too much or
that. Only an inning or two of clever
slabbing every once in a while may
prove very valuable"
Both Veach and Ferguson, who were
in Detroit with the Yankees when the
deal was made, reported to the Ma
tionals at their headquarters here to-
day. Each appeared to be in good
physical condition.
In view of Manager Harris an

NEW YORK, August 19.-John Nc
Graw, manager of the New York
Giants, says that the so-called lively
ball is no more. He asserted that re-
Gently the club owners had agreed
among themselves that the ball in use
was too lively and several changes
in its construction had been ordered.
According to McGEaw, the present
ball is not wound so tightly and the
cover Is not stretched to the limit.
1t also is said to have raised stitches,
giving the pitcher a better grasp.
The Giants chief called attention to
the large number of small scores dur
ing the last month to show that the
ball has undergone change.
McGraw's comparison had to do
with the start of the season and the
present time, and a delve into the
figures for the first 80 games of every
jor league club and the 80 contests,
including those of August 10, gave
some unexpected facts.
In number of hits the two periods
were about the same, 5,156 against
5,113, the latter with the slower"
bali. But in the last 80 days the
major leaguers have been able to
garner only 1873 home runs, against

Philadelphia was baptized as a

Both the Phillies and the Athletics

50-cent admission has found more
favor, although today there is a
greater low tariff admission in Phila-

city.
If Philadelphia figures in the world
series, the standard of admissions will
be fixed on the So scale, which means
that SO will be the lowest reserved
seat price and prices will increase or
decrease from that amount.
Pittsburgh is such a good patron of
sport that general admission might
almost be placed at s. in that city and

A perfect contrast may be found
over in Brooklyn, where a boycott, or
slackening of interest on the part OF
the home fans. means small crowds.
A fair decrease for the world series
in Brooklyn is not resented much.
In the series of 1916, the first the
Brooklyn club had, there was a great
financial loss because of the complete
breakdown of ticket selling facilities.
All, sorts of explanations were given
for the large number of empty seats
at the opening game, and the incident
was one bone of contention between
the club factions for years.
