SHOfLT honiii-nlvlnn during cham
pionship rftrcn bp pprmlttoil? That in
a question worth prime consideration
by the tn ball unions this winter.
It has been brought homo to certain
fnnm nl magnates of Inte with a force
that augpaMs the wisdom of careful
thought. .There la ground for the Argument
that the practice, If not vicious In Itself,
leada to evil results. Bonus-giving may
be more nearly Justifiable when practiced
In ante or poet-aanon games, such as the
world' eerlee, but such a custom should
not be permitted during the regular sched
ule tf a championship season. , If every
hall player would go into the game de
termined to exhaust his efforts to win
from the first to the last of the season,
regardless of - Influence about him. then
bonus-giving might not be so bad, but still
It would not be right. Tho fact Is, how
ever, that ball players, being human, are
much Jlk men In other walks of life and
therefore bonus-giving la an evil practice
and should not be permitted with reference
to a single gam or aeries of games played
under the regular season schedule. For
example, let two-well matched teams come
up to the final, series of the season which
is to determine the pennant winner, and
let the owner of one team offer hla play
er at reward of a certain amount of money
!f they win the series, and suppose the
owner of the rival team does not see fit
to make a similar offer to hi players,
und .suppose feeling already between the
lattef manager and hi men Is not the
' best. 4 What la likely to be the result? It
require no specious pleading to decide It.
The manager who refused to offer his
team' tonus may be called parsimonious
and the other man generous, and maybe
these term fit exactly. No matter, the
fact I when those players igned their
contract at the first of the season they
pledged and obligated themselves to give
tholr employer the best that wa In them.
and that obligation I Just as binding at
the latter end of the season as It was at
the beginning. The fact that another man
Hger saw fit to bait his men with a bonus
has no relation whatever to the terms of
agreement existing between the rival team
and It manager. That team, If It did the
square thing, . would play the beet ball
of which It was capable to the very last,
bonus or no bonus. Not only the team
owner, but the patron of the game, the
man who pays his good money and sup
port the team and the game morally and
financially, Is entitled to ome considera
tion along these llnrs. lie Is entitled to
the worth of his money und he Is eheated
out of the worth of his money whenever
a player or a team comes short of doing
the best It can. It's all right If a man
nger or owner wants to make his team a
present at the end of the season, but to
hold out to It a reward, or bonus, is wrong
to hla team and to every other and will
work irreparablo Injury to the game If
persisted In. Player might, after a while,
come to expect or demand these bonuses.
Walter Johnson, the phenom from Cali
fornia and Idaho, continues to belie the
word of tho wise boya who predlcttd on hla
advent In fast company that he wouldn't
last. Ho Is lasting and getting better every
day. His recent performance In shutting
out the New York Americans Jn three suc
cessive game I one of - the marvelous
achievement In the annals of base ball.
For twenty-seven Innings Highlander after
Highlander faced till young Hercules and
faced lilm In vain so far as runs were
concerned, for not a man crossed the
plate In the three games. True, the New
York Americans are in last place, but
they Hre there because of mismanagement
and not because of Inferiority, If John
sun can do tho work ho la doing with a
team like Washington back of him, wh.it
would he do with the Cubs, the Giants or
the I'lrates, the Tigers, the Browns or the
Sox to back lilm up? By many good Jinxes
lie Is considered the premier pitcher of the
profession today. And Comlskey overlooked
this youth and passed him up to Cantillon.
Wise old Roman I
It looks more and more as tf the Giants
would win tho National league pennant.
The Glanta have mado a moat remarkable
fight. But when the season Is over a cool,
dispassionate view of the year will disclose
a the most remarkable achievement of the
National league or any other league tho
standing of Chicago. For half the season
the Cuba had half their regular In the
hospital and for the entire season some of
them huve been crippled. At one time
Chance, Kvers, Btelnfcldt, Stheckard,
admit?. Hlagle, Brown. Kllng and Overall
wile out of the game. In fact only two
regulars were In the game for a long
lime. Is there another team In any league
that could have stayed anywhere near
the top under such conditions? Certainly!
New York could not have done H. nor
Pittsburg. The amusing wonder Is, not
I hut the Cub have lost their hold on first
place, but that they have managed to hold j
onto the first division.
Mucky Holme Is easily entitled to the
hoi. it Of being the best manager in the
Wt'sU'iu league. At least he got the re
sults for wlch the others sought. Holmes
set an example which the other managers
might with profit follow; he started In at
tho outset te "can" every man who re
fused to give him all he had. Sioux City
has no kick coming on Holmes. Tho town
finished last In the league of 1907. When
Ho'.me went there he promised the fans
the team would not finish last In 1M. He
did not say where It would finish, but went
lr- and landed the pennant, which Oinah
tnuld have tucked away In It vest pocket
two months sgo had the team worked with
the same teal that animated the Sioux.
If every man wrc didn't write "Caiey
nl the Bat" would tell the truth, there
wouldn't be anything to this controversy
about the authorship of this "greatest of
American poems." "Casey at the lUt"
tlrst appeared In the Han Francisco Ex

editorial page. Signed "Phin," the uum de

Hpper made It famous by reciting It
from the stage. It requires audacity of a
decidedly cheap brand for anybody else
than the real author to lay claim to this
soul stirring "Ballad of the Republic," for
It ia nothing tesa than that.

HARD SCHEDULE FOR KANSAS
Jayhawkers Muit Work Day and
Night to Be Ready.
FIVE VETERANS ARE MISSING
oach Kennedy Worried Over Make)
of the Tram Iff name of
Reason feme rmr
Together.
LAWRENCE, Kan.. Sept. 13-(9peclal
With the university opening late and the
first game only one week otter the open
ing day, the Jawhawker pigskin classes are
employing every possible means to get prac
tice well under way before class work
starts.
With a nine-game schedule staring him
In the face, Coach Kennedy la scouring the
halls and campus for every possible bit of
font ball material in a way no coach ha
done at K. L since the days when Yost
schooled his ever-victorious team of Kin
sans here In spite of the rush of regis
tration week, over fifty men have already
signed up for suits, and this number will
be greatly Increased early In the coming
week. The cntches have kept these men
busy every afternoon at booting the ball,
and the huskies from th,e wheatfields go at
it as though It was mldseason weather In
stead of some left over July temperature
the weather man Is passing out,
Kennedy will beglh to pick his team and
give out his signals early in the week' In
order to get ready for the game with the
Kansas State Normal, which will be played
here September 28. f
Heavy Games In Trospect.
Much Interest Is being shown this ear
by the follower of the game here and
everyone seem to realize what the team
has before them. The team that repre
sents Kansas university on the gridiron
this year Is facing the hardest and one of
the longest list of games ever scheduled In
tho history of the Institution's foot ball.
Nine games will be played, which Is one
more than usual. After the first two games
every game will be a hard one, and the
three strongest teams In the Missouri valley
Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri have to be
met In the last twelve days of the season.
The practice games with William Jewell
and St. Mary's college have been cut out.
8t. Louis university has been dropped.
This game was a money maker, but the
sentiment here became en strong against
the methods used by the Missouri school
that Manager Lansdon was compelled to
omit them from the schedule this year. In
place of these teams Kansas State Nor
mal, Ottawa university and Washington
university of St. Louis have been ubstl
tuted. ' The Jayhawkers have not played
the State Normal and Washington uni
versity In foot ball for three years, and
have not met Ottawa on the gridiron for
seven years,
Ib and Nebraska.
Kansas university play Iowa this year
for the first time In ten years. The fol
lower of the game here are glad to sea
these two schools get together again in
foot ball. The game this year will be
played lit Iowa City. This, with the Ne
braska game, which will be played at Lin
coln, will be the two hardest games this
auaaon for the Jayhawkers and It Is to be
lamented that these two games come only
a week apart. Following these only five
days Is the Thanksgiving game with Mis-
ouri. wncn is always a hard one. in
the last six years the Jayhamkera have
hoisted the Tigers' tall four times nd tied
It twk-e. This year the tribe of Kennedy
are already really scared about the Mis
souri proposition as Monllow has almost
twice as much foot hell material eligible
this year as he has had Tor the Imsi to
seasons It has not yet been decided
where the Missouri Rmne will be played.
However, It U very probable thsl satis
factory arrangements will bo made and
Kansas C ty will get the annual Thanks
giving battle that St. J.wph stepped In and
took from II Inst year.
Kennedy will have in tne ronchlng de
partment this yvnt the assist mce of
Dorald, who held the left tmklf br-rtli In
evry ganv for four years straight and
captained the '"6 team and was fiFsfstent
coach last year. Captain rio.ise of hist
year's team will return to asHst Kennedy.
K. t. Lose Five Wteraua.
The sprit.; practice K-rved to give Ken
nedy an Idea rf what he ciuld count on
fiom last year's freshmen team to fill
the vacancies left In the ranks of th
regulars. The Jayhawker tcm will be
much weakened this year by the loss of
five of Its veteran players. Captain Rouse
nd White at ends, Milton at center nud
Augney at quarter, who has genraled the
team for the last two e.trs and ho a
one of the headiest 'quarters in the wi'.
Foster, the star kicker, whose bootli.g
ability won the Missouri game at St. Joseph
last Thanksgiving and who saved I ho Ne
braska game two years ego with a "Oj-yard
punt, graduated last year and his place
at left helf will be hard to fill. Six of
lnt year's regulars will bo back.' They
are "Pat" Crowed, right tackle; "Dill"
Caldwell, left tackle; "Swede'- CarNi.n
right guard: "Tub" Reed, 1-ft guenA
"Sprouty" Porter, right halfback, and
"Buck" Rlce. fullback. Carlson was tried
out at center in several games last ye.ir
and he will probably Iw shifted to that
position permanently. His position at right
gtiaid will be filled by Smith. Gutley or
Wood, all 2111-pound fellows. Carl Pleasant,
a "K" man of '05. who was" kept out of the
game last year on account of sickness
will be bnck anil fill his old place at riKl'l
end. Priest or Houghton will probably
take care of tho oll.tr end. .Several men
have signed up to try out for lert half,
hut none so far look like very fast stock.
Kennedy Is worried most over the quarter
back vacancy. Steele, Hennesgy and John
son are the most llely looking candidate,
but none of these have the experience or
head to direct their teammates nitainsi
such teams as Iowa and Nebraska. An
other thing much on Kennedy's mind It
whose foot he can educate to take the
place of Foster's.

GOLF HEADS V70RK ON RULES
lloal and Ancient ( lah Take Ip the
Compilation.
GLASGOW. Sept. 111. The proposed mw
rules of golf, which have created mum
discussion during the last few months,
came up for consideration at an rxtroar
dinary general meeting of the Royal und
Ancient club, held a few days since at S:.
Aiidtew ttndi r the chairmanship of Ixird
Stair. This inciting was arranged so that
amendments to the draft rules, drawn up
by the rt'Ic of golf committee, could be
proposed before the formal acceptance, ot
the code at the usual half-yearly business
meeting of the club on September V9.
One of the most Important recommenda
tions of the committee wa that the penalty
for "out of bounds" should be loss of both
stroke and distance, and to this the meet
ing agreed. Both John Graham, Jr., liio
Scottish International golfer, and' C. A.
Palmer, the well-known Birmingham
player, had given notice of amendments
to the effect that the penalty should be the
same as in the past, namely, loss of dis
tance only. The view found considerable
favor among golfers, because It wns felt
that an increase of punishment would lean
to ultra-careful play when there was a
chance of a competitor hitting a ball out
of bounds; but the argument of the com
mittee that a ball struck out of bounds
ought to be as heavily penalized as a ball
lost or lying unplayable on the course, met
with tho meeting's approval. If the rule is
accepted on September 29. as no doubt It
will be, it will lead to ah appreciable
heightening of scores on some courses.
When Harry Vardon made his record of i2
Ht llolyoke In the open championship of
1!M2, he drove twice out nf bounds at the
first hole. He did precisely the same tiling
at Prcstwlck this year.
An Important amendment was that of J.
T. Inglls: "If a ball on the putting green
be In casual water, or. If there be casual
water between It and the hole, the ball
may be lifted without penality, and plteed
by hand either directly behind the spot
where the ball lay In water, or In the near
est position, which affords a put to the
hole without water Intervening; but auch
position must not be nearer to the hole
than the spot from which the ball wag
lifted." This also was accepted. The com
mittee themselves proposed In 1904 a rule
to the same effect as the above, but It was
rejected.
The committee recommended that the
lost ball penalty should be the same In
both match and medal play. This official
announcement presumably means that the
penalty for lost ball In match should be
stroke and distance (tho. same as for a
ball out of bounds), Instead of the present
penalty of lost hole.
In regard to section three of rule four,
which reads: "When playing through the
green or from a haxard, a player may have
the line to 'the hole Indicated to him, but
no mark shall be placed nor shall any one
stand on the proposed line while the stroke
In being played." B. Hal! Ttlyth proposed
to delete everything after the word "In
dicated to him," and to substitute "by
his caddie, his partner, or his partner's
caddie." This was. after discussion, defeated.
