Cleveland is getting a reputation al- most as bad as that of Cincinnati in this respect, ‘ Lee Fohl rather double crossed them by resigning, and incidentally Fohi proved himseif one of the best sports in the game. He resigned to help his team win, believing it would do better without bim than with him. There is @ considerable doubt gs to whether it will or not, but with Yoni stil on the pay roll and with Speaker im command there is w chance that the Indians will take a fresh spurt that will carry them to the top, tq The team, in spite of the sligat han- dicap in the shape of the White Sox lead, stil! 7T hing that caused F sign was that, with the bases he sent Coumbe in to pitch to Babe STL POURES + tbat Was 90 Violent In accusing this playor over retracted the aceusations, poe The death of Jim Hart in Chicago recently takes from baseball one of the wisest politicians the game ever knew, and recalls @ conversation I had with him shortly before he sold the Chicago club to Charies W, Mur phy.

We were talking of the future of the game and Hart re marked: “Organised baseball has not & chance jo stand if it ever is tested in the courts, I think it is necessary to have bayeball law entirely separate from civil law, but it is ileal under civil law to form such combines.
