There was excellent early season pitching, fast fielding and all the elements that go to make up a real ball game. crowd was filing out of the grounds indicated that Casper right now is witnessing about the fastest amateur ball in the west. ‘This is undoubtedly true a3 the majority of the players in the league are’ former leaguers and collegians. Morse pitched for the Legion yes- terday letting Glenrock down with four scattered hits. He had the game in control at all times and in a month should be the best pitcher in fhe league. He was ably supported by the entire Legion team. Griffen behind the bat and Bible and Wood- ard in the infield are all fine players and they were guing at top speed yesterday. The Legion outfield, with Skeets Walker, Blondy Hays and Ted Mad- en, all of whom have had major league experience, looks like the best in the league. Walker made two wonderful catches yesterday and Hays led his team with the bat. In the opening game of the after- noon the Texas nine won from the Elks by a of 11 to 4 in A game that was not so fast and not fo interesting.

Baker, owner of the Philadelphia Nationals, and John McGraw, manager and part owrfer of the New York Giants. McGraw made some comments about the quality of the Phils which Indicated that he believed they were more suited for a Class A league than-for a place in the major league. Baker replied that it wasn't his fault that he couldn't get godd ball players and keep them after he found them. He said when-he did have good players, rich managers got them to lay down so they could be traded away from the club. Although there is nothing serious in the controversy, it may result in seme firewor because McGraw hardly will keep his silence when Baker is trying to have it believed that the Giant chief induced Irish Meusel to look bad+ with the Phils so that he could be brought to New York. . For several years the Phillies have been the joke of the National League and they are a disgrace this year. Before the season ts over the club may decide to give Baker the choice of getting out or of doing something to strengthen a team that, on its present rating now, is not good enough for a fast minor league. Baker complains that he can't build up the team because he hasn't the money that the Giants, Cubs and Reds have to spend for high class minor league players and that he couldn’t put his hands on the Players if he did have the dough to spend. . As long as Baker can Ive on the patronage that is drawn to his club by games played against g00d cards like the Giants, Red and Cubs, he will insist that the building up of a2 club is a hard task, requiring years of vigilance and a lot of base- ball luck in developing the. talent found. It is all bosh for any club owner to complain that he can’t get play- ers to build up his club. If uny proof had been needed that a little perspiration and a sincere desire to build up a club where all that is needed, Bob Quinn, new boss of the Boston Red Sox furnished it this séason In a few short months, Quinn took a club that had been wrecked completely by an owner who was in the business only to sell players and he transformed it into a club that seemed destined for the first division. Quinn spent Dud ha rea a little money for y Lee, & young shortstop, who been the sensation of the early n. He exercised his skill in ding and buying to bulla up the Weak places on the club. Quinn and Lee Fohl, former man- ar of the St. Louis Browns, put over a smart deal with the Cleve jand Indians in which they secured Steve O'Neil and Bill Wambsgans. They bought Bob Veach from: the Detroit Tigers and they moved Joe Harris from the outfield to his nor- mal position at first base- ‘They picked up a couple of good young pitchers from the minor leagues and they made over one or two regular pitchers through the coaching of Fohl and O'Neil. Quinn said, when he took over the Red Sox, that he felt sure he wovld be able to do something with them, but only a few of his friends believed him until the season start: ed and he began to show them. As long as Baker sits in his office and spends his time claiming every player upon whom waivers are asked, he will never get a ball team He ‘can't expect to have the luck of the Brooklyn Robins in making over misfit castoffs, because he doesn't know enough’ about the game an dapparently doesn’t care enough, The Robins started off badly this season. Wilbert Robinson, man- ager of the team and one of the smartest men in baseball, knew he had an infield weakness that had to be corrected. With the use of a little cash and some players that he could afford to lose, Robby got Milton Stock from the St. Loufs Cards and the club immediately picked up. Last year Robby had to have a first baseman, and he se. cured Jack Fournier from St. Louis. The fans all know the result. After the 1919 world's. series, the, late Pat Moran decided that the Cincinnati Reds needed some new faces and he got busy and rebuilt the club from top to bottom. He went out and got Hargraves, Bohne, Fonseca, Pinelli, Cavaney, Harper, Donohue, Luque, and-even bought Rixey from the Phils. If Baker can't find one player, ft is strange that another. manager could find nine. Baker had a great club and he had & great manager. He fired Moran and sold Alexander, Killifer and all of his good players. If it ts true that some of his good players didn’t give him their /best, the fault is, nevertheless, his own. If he tried serfously h2 might get a club that would be so good that his players wouldn't want to get away neeeteenieninalenintenin LENGLEN HAS.

Elmer Jacobs held Boston to five hits in the eleven to nothing vietory which kept Chicago on the heels of the Giants.

Fielding outweighed pitching the Brooklyn game. The Pirates with Wright active, neutralized the Robin's 13 hits off Meadows by three double plays. Loose work by the Brooklyn infield allowed the wsitors to scare five runs on six hits off Ruether.
