WHETHER rrd Clarke or Trank
. 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.

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.

be the first extensive publlo performance

penalisation will result through the use
of thle new fuel. The car will ba driven
