Ban is likely to find bimeelf in the position of the gentleman who went eut to pot an elephout with a pea shooter. As long as b seball is played for money and not for glory the money is going to be the main con- eideration, And as long as money ts the main consideration thert isn’t go~ ing to be room for sportsmanship. There's no more sportsmanship in any Money-grubbing game than there is fm Wall Street. And you could pack ‘all the sportsmanship in Wall Street into @ peanut shell and then shake it and hear it rattle.

(The New York Evening Worle) Yankee Owners Planning To Start Work on Their New Park by Next Spring Capt. Huston and Col. Ruppert Are of Opinion That Separate Grounds Are Absolutely Necessary to Give Club Distinct In- dividuality—Location Not Yet Decided On. nal i ae By Bozeman Bulger. URING these early off-days the owners of the New York Amer- foans have resumed their quiet search for a plot on which to build; @ ball park and it would not begur- prising If actual work was begun by next apring. They are anxious to put up something that will stand as a monument to the Yanks. Capt. Huston and Col, Ruppert are of the opinion that separate grounds are absolutely necessary to give their club the distinct individuality that they desire, Without separate grounds they also feel that there will never be any healthy local rivalry between the Yanks and the Giants, “You scribes furnished a striking evidence of that,” said the Captain, fag he looked over several maps that had been submitted, “when you in- sisted that there waa a lack of inter- est-in a series between the two local clubs this fall, We would have Mked to test the merits of the two clubs, but as there seemed no public de- mand for such a series of games we did not try to force it, If the clubs had been playing on separate grounds Dillon, and he's tough and stron But a boxer he isn’t {n Dillon's class for a moment. His only chance will be to bit Jack with that wild swinging left. In all his life MeCoy has landed just one of those lefts on a good man. That was on the eve- ning when he knocked out George Chip. McCoy will probably take a beating for ten rounds, tralia as “middleweight cham- pion” to fight Les Darcy. Darcy will beat him without the slightest trouble, Australians won't think much of American middle- weights when Darcy has whipped MceGoorty, Clabby, K, 0. Brown, Joft Smith, MeCoy and the reat of ‘the title-claiming bunch, And he can do it. To my way of thinking he can knock out Mike Gibbons, for he's too fast and rugged for the St. Paul phantom. It will take an iron-ribbed fighter like Dillon or Moha to give him a real battle, and Dillon would have trouble making 160 pounds in Australia without weakening himself, M ‘ is planning a trip to Aus- WHITE LABEL ‘Tne Scorcn of OnsatAce In business you know many self- controlled men.

Huston and Col. Ruppert, but the problem that is besetting them is location, They have had un- der consideration an excellent place In Long Island City, on the other end of the Queensboro Bridge, but there 4s a doubt as to whether It would be advisable to get off Manhattan island, There j# no doubt in the Captain's mind, however, He takes the view it fans want to go to @ ball park that they can reach quickly, and that they care more for speedy transporta- ion than location, With the new tunnels and the subway, it will be possible to reach the grounds in Long sland City in ten minutes from For- ty-second Street, Just the same there is a fear that the public might feel it a reflection on their home pride to take the ball park away from Manhattan, There are any number of opportun- ities on the Island itself. 4," said the of ground nd at a erything | A proposal to permit Jews who have become communicants of’ the church to retain certain of the racial customs and feast days was on the house of deputies calendar for dis- cussion to-day, The resolution was \introduced by the Rev.

Another piece of ground that of- fers a chance to baseball is in the gashouse district, but there is a qu tion about transportation and sur- rounding comfort, The decision on location ts the only thing holding back the owners of the Yanks, They want to ret the grounds Dullt as soon as nossible.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 20.—Develop- ment of individual character means the development of Christianity, the Right Rev, William Lawrence, Bishop of Massachusetts, told delegates to the General Convention of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church here to-day. “A friend of mino called football the most spiritual game because it develops discipline, self-restraint and character,” he said. “All of these make for religion.” Bishop Lawrence spoke at a joint meeting of the two houses of the convention in the interest of organ- tzatton of the work of religious edu- cation, He urged modernization of Sunday-schools. “We can accomplish nothing by having our children step from modern secular schools to fif- teenth century Sunday-schools,” he sald. Speaking of the religion in the pub- lite schools, Bishop Lawrence sald: “I ‘hold a child can get religion in the |home, on the public playground—any- where he can get growth of charac. ter.” YALE.
