I MERE EXPENDITURE OF MONEY NEVER MADE BALL TEAM GREAT Busball writer* ere flying In tlio ■ | face of feet* when they advocate the ) expenditure of money to make team* (real. Money can no more buy great ness In baseball than It can a place In heaven, says J. B. Sheridan In The • Poet .Dispatch. Althoufh the Integer* of the great baseball teams of the past and present : were annealed Into a perfect whole without the eld of money, and while In many cases the teams on which vast sums have been spent proved gross and dismal failures, we are ever being told that money makes teams great. What money, may we ask, was spent to make the White Sox great? What ! priceless players have been purchased for that team? What did Jones, Davis, ; While, Altrock and Walsh cost It? • What fabulous sum was given for the ' lucky Rohe, who hit In many games? ' What untold wealth was laid out for Donohue, who saved so many? What waa paid for Hahn? How much for Dougherty? Davis end Jones are scarce fair cases to cite, as they ciune to Chicago In lime of Inter-leugue warfare. But WnUh and White and Altrock und Hahn and Dougherty did not The lost two were castoffs from ths New York club. Upon the other hand, where was the Cincinnati club, on which untold sums had been spent? Where the Cleveland Blues, another money-made team? If spending money would mako teams great, surely Cincinnati would be the champion of champions. What honor comes from buying baseball team as you would buy a lot of sheep? Any man can buy some kind of a pennant Just us he cun buy some kind of u home and some kind of a wife, If lie has the monsy to do It with. . In not any way of money can true happiness or success be bought. There are many things which money will not buy. Illy us the young and old baseball writers muy understand It. The way to get a busebui! winner Is to "man age” to get II. The work of the White Box and the Athletics, learns on which very little money has been spent, when contracted with that of New York and Cincin nati. upon which endless sums have been dlsslputed, should have taught us this. But there are some tilings In the world which are very hard lo fu. The hardesi of them, I And, Is to make baseball writers think. Even Mam mon, the Idol, cannot do this. {WHEN CANTILLION BLUFFED BOSTON speaking of Jim* Cantlllou. the hew iuaun ier of the Washingtons, a Boston follower of the gam* l\M this story to tsll of Joe during bla days with the indicator: "Joe Cantlllon waa umpiring lu the Na tional League at the same time that Her man Long waa managing the Heston dub. On* day a drlasle act In and as the Ilnstons were behind Umg was very anxious to have the game railed. Again and again he called Mu* h t tent loti of t'antlllon to the weather, t>ut Joe ordered him to go ou aud play, l-on* kept on nagging, and finally, goaded beyond alt endurance. Joe told Ising to go Mirk aod play his game; and If he again spproarhrd him lie would forfeit the game i» the other side. Cnntlllou went on with the game, and things progressed smoothly enough until It hegsn to rain harder, and Homo of the bleacherltes began to leave. Laat at once rushed In front of Cantlllon and said: 'Now you have got to call the same; now you have got to call It,' and ('antltlon said: 'Yea. and 1 do, 9 to 0 In favor of the other side.' I*oug we* fairly astounded, and It was some time tofura tho spectators caught on to the state of things and alowly filed off the field. There was a lively aeene In the dressing room aft er the game. Tho triumvirs were all there, and Rilling*, the most Irascible member of the trio, let himself out lu no uncertain way. Jon sat quietly, controlling himself admirably, and made no aoswer to the tirade that was going on. 'I wish he Und ‘smashed you In the face,' said IlllUugs, al luding to Isong aud speaking to Joe. That waa too much for the Utter, and he anld: 'You haven't got a man on the team that can smash tne In the face, and If you think you have Just let him come back of the -cand and try It on.' There waa nothing doing, but thero waa the utmost respect for Jon, and It was shown very plainly that It* was not a man to be trifled with." BRIEF NOTE8 OF 8PORT8.

In the course of Ida remarks be said many thing*, the most Important of which were: A field goal Is not necessarily n drop kick or place kick, for If s player should kick the ball when It was rolling along the Held and It should cross over the bar It would count. If the hall should hit a player, or the goal (Mists, nud houhd over the bar It would also count. "The differ ence between n safety and n touch-back," Mr. Camp said, "always liotbqred the spec tators nml s good many officials besides, and he cmiearured to explain It. If the Im petus that takes the bull across the goal Hue Is from au opponent aud n defending player then touche* It dowu, It la a touch- back. Hut If the Impetus comes from 6ne of the defending aide and one of that side then touche* It down It Is a safety nnd count* ngnliiNt the defenders.

For Iteyoud a shadow of n doubt, the Yellow Jackets are worklug about twice as bard as ever liefore. The. feeling ntuoug the Tech followers la that Georgia Is to be nn easy victim. Bnt dowu ou Tech field there Is no such delusion. "It Is going to In- one of our hardest E rnes,” said Coach Helsiuau. "We shall ve to work harder 'than ever liefore If we are to win. I do not kuow why there is victory I shall be satisfied." 9 Just why the Tech backers are so brim* med full of confidence Is hard for any student of done, weights, measures aud football to understand. Tech has a good team, of course. That fact has been niuptly demonstrated. Las: Saturdays game would have proved it. If any proof was necessary. Ou the other baud, the team la not In- •*N -• for *!U,k vincible, as the Sewstiee game in.I It Is entirely susceptible of defeat that same defeat may come Baturdii J Georgia Is coming up with it tend Is no slouch.

Here Is what IIIII says of the man: “I guess you got Ball Just In time, as the Portland club waa after him. ”1 have no dope to give you on him except to say that if we could hav, imld him Ijio salary I would not have sold him and you know whai that means. I consider him a fine player. “He will go after everything In sight, covers nil the ground between socon.l and third and hits and runs bases like uny good winner. "He Is a corking good man on base*, ns he Is not only fast but uses gm.,i Judgment. He has no bad habile. I. married and Is always ready for work." ! WHEN IS A FOUL NOT A FOUL? MAKERS OF RULES MUST DECIDE! Hinging lend and rlesr above all the oilier demands of Ibe bull players Is Hie cry for a sweeping uiodlttcatlon of the font strike rule. There Is no possible rhaiioe of the rule Itself In-lug rescinded. It has come to lie accepted a* much a part and parcel of baseball law us are the tliree strlke and four-ball clause*. In fact, the general priu- Iple of the rule Is admitted to In- fair and Just to all concerned. Hut that lbwi lie a great distinction lietween tl PUNTER GRAVES. The snapshot reproduced above shows Graves, the man who does the kicking for Georgia these days.
