Chsnca U right or wrong In call in tha iwmbtrt of the National Commission truftsrs, tha Idea woti to be retting popular that It It time tha plajrara had aoma dlract rep resentation on tha commission. They hara Intcraata to ba aafaruardad which do not alwaya .run parallel with thoaa of tha managcre and In auch ca-e It It but nat ural tat the , manaf art should give flrat head ta their own Intaraata a opposed to those of tha players. It la poaalbla aoma Injuatleea have bean dona tha play era In Instance of thle eort Wouldn't It bo bet ter for tha magnates at wall at tha player If tha latter had a man on the eommla alon they could hold responsible for their Interests? Certainly It would be profitable for the game If auch an arrangement would have the very logical effect of fos tering ' harmony and good feeling between player and manager. The commission hat been prompt to resent any charge or In sinuation against Itt Integrity; It balled Mr. Clarke before It and soured an apol ogy from him and has notified Mr. .Chanco that ha will be espeoted to appear on tha rarpet Tha commission might easily forestall all such trouble and disprove ueh Indictment of Ite honor by taking the first ateo to share Ita. great power nd authority with the players by Inviting one of their number to Join It. If the com mission la really working for tha mutual Intereeta of player and owner and the larger tntereeta of tha game, how better could It convince people of the fact than auffgested? Tt Is nults within tha range of possibilities that liii trouble may arise unlets It doet Bf the kind. Ifa course In the nest certainly hae not been entirely above reproach or orltlclam and there are many observers outside tha pale of Ite penat au- 1 mrm not ready to give the Ita tr- r-i.rk. of Pittsburg or Frank Chance of Chicago. Tha American association race keeps up i.. tvrtii netween. flrat and eighth teams ..., t m. difference of 100 points. The leadera hava a percentage of about .160 and the tallendera .480. Tha tallendera In tta Western league and tha two majors are far below tha 400-mark. There hava been few asch raoea In tha hlatory of bate ball. Thla la tha kind of race that gives ......., .nd vitality to the game and in xm.td.Hv it la tha kind of raoe that will not Injure tha chanoea of euoceea of that threatened Invasion by tha magnatea of thl very aaaocUtlon. Thaee men are com ing Try near tha demonstration that they .re able to oooe with the faeteet company and that there la ample room for another i in this western or miaaie west country as there ta In tha east. The reason never did .appear quite plain why lzteen cltlea should hold a monopoly on so, (tailed major league bate ball. In the American association are several cltlea that hava supported major league ball and are capable of doing It again. Why should they b circumscribed In their rlghte or wtshei? Of course, placing two mora major organisations In tha field may limit the chancea of tha two older ones to grab up all the best material In the country by creating more competition, but why notT Why not let thirty-two cltlea hava th tame chance at tha best baae ball which sixteen oltlea are now enjoying? It waa once thought revolutionary to countenance tha movement that led to the American leagus, but la there a National league mag nate today foolish enough to aay hie own Intereeta have not been Improved by tha creation f thla competitor? And that la probably tha ultimate effect thla Invasion will hava. It will - have the natural ii.iiM of creatine- a larger demand for ' base ball and tha Increased patronage wllfl fall with equal proportions to the various team. Base ball loat one of Its greatest men In tha death of Frank O. Belee. Mr. Selee constructed the superb Boaton team that won tha National league pennant In U91. lata, MM, MOT and MM. and he laid the foun dation of tha Imperial Cuba, who have won three successive National league pennants and two world's ehamplonshlpe. As a Judge of a player he had no peer and as a handler of men he was superior. At tha bedside of galea when he died waa poor old Herman Long, the veteran who was the tar ehortstop of the great Doaton team that Selee built up and of tha country. He too, la going tha way Belee went Herman wound up his playing days In tha Western league. He waa playing manager for Omaha a few yeara ago. Both of theee men are men whose Influence haa dona a great deal for baee ball. The revival of tha Bourkes brings great joy to tha fans. After losing twelve out of seventeen games abroad, Omaha started In with Topeka as If It never Intended losing another game. If It can wind up thla long home stretch with a enug majority to Its credit, it will still hava a good chance for tha pennant, but tt must not expect to lose many of theee twenty-four gamea and beat out aiouji City, which refuses to let down In Its onward rush. With tha exception of tha bos. Omaha Is unquestionably stronger than u team la tha league, and there are Indications that lis pitchers are steady ing. Thirty-five thousand fans went to Polo grounds to sea the double-header between the Giants and Pirates as deciding some what the former's nonnaat chances. Caa . you imagine the thoughts of those thirty five thousand at tha end of tha second earn? if tha Tlgera make It three straight they will have to get in different form. The Athletics are after them.' Did Cleveland mean ta show up Lajole "y winning seven straight when he dropped out of the game? One thing Mr. Murphy has done, ha haa cinched the argument on the wisdom of making bonuses. .' Hot weather must ba depressing on Jeff ' and Johnson. Neither has spoken for i Fisher Is still going Use a scared Indian with scouts hot o his trail. The Pirates refuse to blow up with any Vegree of satisfaction, This Is a oeeoae) of big seoree. It waa a case of the Franklin to tha res cue when the two scout cars engaged In marking the trail for the prospective New York-Atlanta automobile run under tha ausploea of the Herald and Journal, re- speotlvely, of those two cities, anoountered trouble on their trip through Bouth Caro lina. It waa between Greenville and Anderson that the Journal car, which had act out from Atlanta and met tha Herald car on Us way from New Tork, skidded across a rain-washed road and into a ditch. Tha owner aad driver of the ear had to leave 4 aubatltuta In charge because of tlokness. C. M. Wing of Oreenrtlla, who has a rep utation through tha atate for skill In hand ling motor ears, was acting as escort In his Franklin, and ha left hla own oar and took the ditched car, worked It Into the road way and then led It Into Anderson. There It was found that the other scout car had been so racked by bad roads as to require the ' services of mechanicians all night, and in the morning the substitute driver of the Atlanta oar Informed Mr. Wing that he would not attempt to drive over the roads as they appeared to be from Anderson on and that an expert chauffeur waa required. Mr. Wing tele phoned to Greenville for Frank Kneble, a driver In whoee ability he had confidence and who had Jutt returned wearied from a trip to Greenwood. With an associate at the wheel, the latter, deeplta big fatigue, climbed Into tha rear teat of another Franklin and alept while going to Ander son. Thence wiuiout serious difficulty he took the Atlanta oar on tha next stags of Its Journay. Mr. Wing, after helping the car out of the ditch the day before, had resumed hla place at tha wheel of the Franklin and was hastening to Anderson, when he saw a woman In a carriage driving toward him around, a curve.' Tha road was to narrow that for an Instant an aoddent seemed Inevitable, but without hesitating he ditched hla oar and thus avoided hitting tha horta and carriage. He went off the roadway, without regard to damage likely to coma to tha ear, but, as a matter of fact. It was unharmed and was soon back upon the road and speeding' toward Anderson. ....
