Vast the National commission Is In no
poaltlnn to deny It without at the same
time reflecting seriously upon Its own
lack of power, for what It did fol'owlng
th demands of the fraternity. Indeed, the
ultimatum of Dave Fulls. Is very fresh
In mind, painfully so to certain gentle-
men, we trow. Bo far as we are con
cerned, we can conceive of much guod. to
come througlt such and organisation ju
diciously managed, aa seem to be the
rase with this one. Fults Is no fool. H
was a good ball player before he became
a reputable lawyer and he Is entitled to
serious Consideration. If th "magnates"
' hadn't thought so, they would not have
capitulated to him as they did after the
explosive bombast of Ban Johnson. It Is
ut hope lht all the elements of base

Productive and constructive units and et

NEW YOdlK. Aug. 8.-The big price
paid for star ball player in this country,
often bordering on the sensational, cause
great Interest among some of the big
English soccer club who are fnrtunat
enough to be able to Invest part ot their
large profit in securing crack men.
Only a few year ago 02.000 was consid
ered a large figure to pay for iny man,
however well be could play foot ball, but
this amount ha gradually mounted up
until the 115.000 mark ha been reached.
Thl record price was put on th head of
Simpson of Falkirk and of Heart of Mid
lothian, both Scottish league clubs, but
the large figure did not prevent th
Blackburn Hover from securing both
player, and also Shea of West Harq
United, for 110,000, thus obtaining three
player for th enormous sum of 140,000.
That the Investment turned out profit
ably wss proved by the club finishing up
last season a champion of th first di
vision ot the English Association Foot
Ball leagu end earning a splendid profit
on the season' working ot 830,009.
Fifteen thousand was offered by New
castle United to Swindon Town for Flem
ing, the English International forward,
with a scoring ability unequaled by any
other player In Great Britain, but thl
fine plnyer remained loyal to his club and
refused to be tempted. By a new rule
brought Into loit:e last season th player
transferred received hi share out of the
transaction In the shape of 30 per cent ot
the amount paid.
Derby County struck a bad patch laat
season and finished with a big loss, but
were able to make a better showing of
tht-lr balance sheet after selling their
crack forward. Barpea, who I consid
ered one of the finest forward In th
oountry, to Manchester City for the big
price of 812.500. A similar amount l
being received by Aston Villa for the
services of Buckley, transferred to Wool
wich Arsenal. Other Interesting trans
fer were Ctlsy of Barnsley'to Sheffield
United for 810.000. and Marshall of Patrick
Thistle to Bradford City for 87.WO.

croft, business manager of the Cincinnati
Reds, say, and tha truth of his remark
Is shown by the fact that in contests of
these varieties the Cubs, Giants and Car -
dlnals, now having a three-handed scrap
for the National league gonfalon, have
been much more successful than the other
five teams ,
Up to Monday sixty-five games had
been played In the National league In
which the Issue was settled In either the
ninth or extra Innings or on the bauls of
one to nothing. The Cardinals had won
eleven of these engagements and so hud
the Braves, but HugKlns' men had
dropped only seven of these combats,
while Stallings athletes had let eleven es
cape. The Cardinals' percentage In the
Nerve lea gue therefore was .fill, the
Braves' .600. The club that ha shown
the greatest aptitude for getting the de
cision in tight game la Chicago, with a
percentage of .714, New York following
with .636. The Cardinal are third, with
.611; the Phillies fourth, with .55S; the
Braves, fifth, with .C60; the Pirate and
Red sixth, with .333, and the Superbai
eighth, with .30. The Cardinal and the
Cub have won the most game In tho
ninth Inning five; the Brave are setting
the pace- In one-to-nothing wins, with
four, and the Phlllle bav taken the
greatest number of overtime events
seven. Brooklyn still ha to win a one-to-nothing
contest, and Cincinnati thus
far has not registered a victory In an
extra-inning affair. St. Louis hasn't been
