ENJOYABEE GAMES Recent Bake ‘Ball’ Legislation -in Favor of the, Patrons. TRYING 10 SQPPRESS ROWDYISM Double Umpire, System and Four Trips of thé Clubs. BUNT SACRIFICE DISCUSSED After reviewing tld. proceedings of the late meeting of the National League in Philadelphia, one cannot but praise the wisdom and keen foresight of the base ball moguls From start'to finisi the patrons } of the game were given all they have asked for, and it might be added, evea r.ore. While thousands of the patrons abhorred the vulgarity on. the field, hardly a handful will indorse the drastic measures of putting a player out of the game permanently for a@ breach in this direction. And it is a question whether President Brush really in- tended his resolution to go that far. But the resolution can do no harm, no matter whether it proves a dead ‘etter er not. As an illustration, suppose certain play- ers so far forget themselves as to lapse into their old habits at the commencement. of the season, and a good maa like Umpire Emslie suspend them and send their cases to be acted upon to the committee that is to yet be appointed. Between the time of suspension and the hearing of the case a week at least will elapse, and by that time Mr. Emslie concludes to not press the case. The tabooed player will then resume his plece on the field. But he is a marked man. Will he take the same chances again? Not in @ hundred years, tor the simple reason that under the same cireum- stances the umpire would be compelled by the magnates to press his case. This is the most favorable light in which the resolution to suppress rowdyism can be viewed. A more ulira view would carry the resvlution and action thereon up to the courts of law, and when*has base ball legis- lation ever been sustained by the courts? ‘his is accounted for on the inequity of base ball contracts which-entirely favor the club owners, and ‘this side of the case would hold good whtn it comes to suspend- ing a ball player from earning a living. It is a boycott pure and simple. The punishment for the offense is entire- ly too severe. Thirty days’ suspension should be made the maximum punishment. The loss of one good man for that length of time might prove a tremendous loss to a team, financially and otherwise, and would cure the evil quickly. Another feature of new legislation in pre- paring a regular schedule for the umpire staff, which is to be doubled to allow two m for every one of the L4 games next season, is a good one. The schedule will be designed to cover all league cities alike, so far as distribution goes, and should work well. It will undoubtedly b2 a good thing for the umpires,as well ab the public, as the former must be made to feel secure and not be burdened with th# oppression of removal or transfer at*the protest of a captain or manager. If the umpires are not mude to feel safe in their -pgsitigns all the regula- tions the league “¢oy!d devise’ out! “not remedy the evil thé’ pulilic complained of. In keeping the umpire schedule unknown to: all save President. Young, much of the trouble will be overcome. In the selection of umpires Mr. ¥oungis task next year should be comparatively easy. The claim that it will be harder to pick twelve men than six to act as umpires will not hoid when analyzed. The treatment accorded the indicator holders @ivth@ last three or four years has kept many self-respecting men out-of ‘the business of; acting as arbitrat- ors, but with the sh resolution in view respectful treptmeny ;is assured and good umpires will be picked up as gold nuggets ang reported. to be found. in the: Klondil ‘A little quiet think will bring to mind least twenty-five. éxplayers | wlio’ would prove good umpir and this class should be given the preference. Then egain there are old players who have drifted in’ the minor leagues on account of age and a falling off in playing ability, who would very likely snap at the chance of earning money as an umpire if they are assured of fair treatment. It is reported that the salaries of the umpfres will be reduced con- siderably from the past season’s figures, but ‘it ts doubtful if men like Emslie and Lynch will be subjected to this cut. It is no more than right than this pair should seceive more than the new. men, if for no other reason than that their pa: have beea done well, but outsid of tb fact there can he no question but that these two are in a class by themgelves, and -it will take several seasons to develop their equals. But the work will be easier next season, and for this reason a mana few points shy in the matter of. arbitration abilities should be able to give satisfaction and retain his position, so A piece of legislation that is yet to prove its worth, but which on paper looks to be worthy of a solid gold frame, is the doubling up of the visits that each club will pay the other during the coming sea- son. This schedule has not received the attention due to it through its importance, not alone upon the attendance attracted by new faces, but from the benefit derived by the weaker clubs in a playing sense. Instead of going away for a month, as last season, two weeks will be about the long- est period a club will be away from its own battle ground. Clubs like Washington, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Louisville, Pitts- burg and St. Louis undoubtedly play their best with their local admirers urging them on, Next season these clubs will go away for about twelve games, and then return to play about the same number. While away. say they win two and lose ten. A bad showing on paper, but not in reality, when the strength of the opposing clubs is con- sidered. The clubs then reverse this order and win ten on their home grounds and the lost ground is recovered. Some might ciaim that this will make the-strong clubs stronger and the weak clubs weaker. but those enthusiasts who have witnessed the g00d drubbings given the leading clubs by the tailenders on their own grounds can easily see the difference. The season will begin April 15 and close October 15, and every day, Sunday included, will witness a game in some one of the cities making up the big league. Instead of looking to- ward the west continuously for a month for hase ball news, the interest will be di- vided between the two sections, and there is nothing like keeping this interest at fever heat throughout the season. Then again, instead of the Washington club swinging around the entire eastern end of the league and meeting all the best clubs in a bunch, they will tackle but three of them at a time, and-then return home and take up the contréct Hf regaining ground by attacking a ¢}pjn ig its own class, or perhaps still a little weaker. The Cincin- nati and St. Louf¥<chifts should appreciate this part of the argument, especially the former, when it brings to view that final trip of the-seasonoof ip6. The expense. of the extra* trips wi , of course, consid- erable, but placedbin: démparison with the extra money that will pour into the box of- fice it is a comparison of cents and dol- ars. Manager Wagnef ‘and Capt. Tom Brown were unable to pall off any deals at the big meeting, for Je simple Peason that they would not the worst of it, but the latter legislated successfully that it is mere than pri je)that the public will be again favored through tre abolition of the bunt hit. Ware: m recently, Capt. Brown was quite enthuslastic over the mis- sionary work he tad accomplished at the meeting, and predicted that a rule abolish- ing the bunt would go.through the next meeting at St. Louis by.a vote of fully 8 to 4. Brown goes on the idea that in all sport the handicap is resorted to so as to even up matters and make the contests in- teresting. With the. bunt in-use. the Bal- tlmore club has atleast 25 per cent the best of it, and is in reality the only club in the league that is benefited. Take the bunt away and ithe Orioleg come back into the crowd of theroughbreds lined up ai the starting point,.- What makes Brown’s plea tha strenger with the magnates is (hat he has*fully 9) per cent of the base ball public back of him. As,an illustration, ‘Tom says, the first batter up makes a hit. ‘The game is a close one, and the mght play is to sacrifice the runner to second. When the player, to do this sacrificing is McGuire, DeMont or Selbach, what @ chorus of yells goes up to “Hit ‘er out.” Tf the player is a young one and has little wisdom in his nut, this yelling will rattle him, and in three dutits f cases out of four he will try in a half- hearted way to carry out his instructions. A failure follows, and, ‘of course, the cap- tain gets it good and hard in the way of sulphuric ejaculation#.-- Several writers claim that it takes brains to bunt, but Brown claims it takes brains to steal bases, and that the player should do this instead of being sacrificed around. In addition, the onlookers will applaud a double play, but whoever heard of a bunt being ap- plauded. Of course, if the first man to the bat wants to bunt, well and good, but when such a play is made to sacrifice a foul strike should be called. Captain Tom says the moguls are out ‘to please the public the coming season, and he is more than confi- dent that the bunt sacrifice is among the things that will be choked off by the rules commitiee, and their action afterward in- dorsed. by the full meeting. While out hunting a few days ago Jack Crooks had a rnerrew escape from death. His gun was prematurely discharged, and the right side of his face was burned with powder as the load hustied by. It is possible that Philadelphia got gold- bricked in that deal with St. Louis worse than was at first thought. Now it trans- pires that there is a good chance of Doug- lass not going to Philadelphia. Douglass, it is said, has made arrangements to go to the Klondike next spring just about the time that he is expected to report in Phila- delphia He is going with his uncle, who is well fixed financially. The class of the minor league depends upon the average population of the cities forming the circuit according to the last published United States census preceding the application. It is no wise affected by the salary limit or other causes. The minor league magnates would gladly in- crease their fees for protecticn in order to get the benefits of higher draft price for Players, but they are ungble to do so. If there is one thing imperatively neces- sary it is that the Philadelphia and St. Louis teams be strengthened for next year, even though some of the clubs have to surrender good players and the two weak teams in question have to apply the ax most savagely to their pre8ent crews. These two towns, with winning clubs, would be literal gold mines. As it is, trade is falling off in Philadelphia and is well-nigh dead in St. Louis._Chicago News. The league schedule will provide for a game on every day of the season, and pro- vision is made that every game scheduled must be played. For instance, if a game is postponed on account of rain or for any other cause, it must be played off the next day. If the postponement occurs on the last day of a last series it must be played off on the grounds of the visiting team on the very first day. The consideration shown to the delegates of the important minor leagues by the nay tional board wili, it is believed. inaugu- rate a decided reform in base ball. Agita- tion has brought this about. The minor leagues deserve fair trcatment and on the recommendation of the board they will be relieved from the most oppressive feat- ures of the drafting system. The sta- bility of the game demands this and it may be added that the new pol erate, in the long run, to the be parent body. The draft price for class A club remains at $500, but the valuable players always bring an an amount far in excess of that sum through competition. ‘The farming system is to be moc fied, play- ers loaned to minor league clubs being sub- ject to recall on thirty-days’ notice. This will give the minor league club a chance to replace these players. As “farmed players are as a rule recalled during the playing season only in case of emergency. the National League farming clubs wil be at a decided disadvantage under the new order of things. A theatrical friend of President Prush, Fred. Wright, called his attention to a fla- grant violation of the rules last season, and it is more than probable that this com- piaint is what made the Cincinnati presi- dent introduce his resolution for the sup- pression of rowdyism. It occarred on one of the eastern ball fields. Manager Wright, together with a lady and gentleman from the very best circles of the city in -wiich they lived, attended a league pall game. They secured seats in a box just above the bench occupied by the players of the visit- ing team. As the game progressed there was a change in pitchers. The gentle with Manager Wright, not knowing pitcher, reached over the rail of the by and of one of the visiting players inquire: the name of the new pitcher. The player addressed turned his head slightly, and growled out’ a most insulting reply. It was a-filthy remark, and was made so that the gentleman's wife heard every word that the ruffianly player said. The gentleman yas furious. He became almost violent at is uncalled for and miserable Insuit over the box rail again he fairly you scoundrel, you must apologize for what you have said, or I will kill you. To the credit of the other players be it said that they shamed their companion un- he excuse for an too much,” finally made an “I guess I did s ayer growled, yeing there.” . why hadn't th be there ‘Now right to “We want just such people there all the genileman’s wife a ad President Brush. time. That is the tering to. We want the lac if there is r to all decency as not belong in the busine putting such players outside the breast- works of legitimate base ball. There only two or three players of that sort the profession. Must all the other be rated as foul-mouthed ruffian of the presence of two or three such row- dies? I think not. Jf there was a player of that Kind on the Cincinnati team; if he should so far forget himself as to insult a lady who had come to see the game, or if there was good proof offered that he had used language unfit for everybody in the stand to hear, I would favor ruling him off for life, no matter if he was tne very best player I had on the team.” 1 believe in WILL BE PLAYED OFF TUESDAY. The Tie Between the Eastern and Central High Schools. The date for the play-off of the tie game between the Central and Eastern High School foot ball teams has been agreed upon. The game will take place Tuesday at National Park, probably at 3:30 o'clock, and one of the most spirited games of the season in this part of the country may be looked: for. School rivalry between the Eastern and the Central is perhaps stronger than be- tween any two of the other high schools in the city, and for this reason the outcome of the game is attracting all the more at- tention. Every effort is made to have underhand work, slugging and scrapping eliminated from these games, and to a marked degree the effort has been successful. Every team in the High School League has been warn- ed by the school authorities against this sort of work, and the outcome of thi warning is plainly apparent n every game that has been played. ‘There was an immense attendance at the game last Tuesday, but it is expected that the number will be more than half again as large Tuesday next. FOUR CLOSE FINISHES. A Large Gathering Secs Sport at Benning. One of the largest crowds of the meeting atended the racing at the Benning track yesterday afternoon, the twelfth day of the second fall meeting of the Washing- ton Jockey Club, and witnessed the suc- cess of two favorites and three second choices. The card was about the best of the meeting, as was the racing, the fin- ishes in all but one of the five events being close and exciting. Requital won by a head from Premier, but McCafferty could have won with him by a block had he so desired, yet he drew a dangerously narrow finish. Old Marshall started in the hurdle race, and, well ridden by Slack, won easily by two lengths from the 7 to 10 favorite, Valorous. Halton was purchased Mc- Cafferty for $1,000 just before the fourth race, and was placed fourth by his new Owner, being the 7 to 5 favorite.
