T HE agitation in the major
league., against the "bean ball"
has stirred a responsive chord
in the Southern League. "Go to it*!*
say players and fans alike.
You know what the "bean ball” is,
of course.
It is a ball thrown by the pitcher
at the head of the batter. Its pur
pose may be to intimidate a batter
lacking in courage or to force away
from the plate a man who is crowd
ing in too close to suit the pitcher.
The play is barbarous and should be
. liminated from the game.
* * *
A S contemptible an exhibition of
- * bean ball throwing as Atlanta
fans ever saw occurred yesterday. In
the sixth inning, when Wally Smith
was at bat, he ran in to the limit of
the batter’s box in an* effort to smear
one of Finis Wilson’s curves. Wilson
put up a complaint to the umpire, but
there were no grounds for it, and Um
pire Pfenninger disregarded it.
The next ball Wilson threw straight
at Smith’s head. Wally ducked and
escaped, but by no wide margin.
Again Wilson threw at Smith's head,
and this time with such unerring aim
and such tremendous speed that when
Smith ducked the ball struck the bat
that he threw in front of his head as
he went down. But for this lucky
chance Smith would have received
a terrible wallop on the head, would
unquestionably have been laid out and
perhaps killed.
* * *
\17ILSON’S act was doubtless that
of a fresh kid. He threw at
Smith’s head because he lacked any
better sense.
But if Wilson had killed Smith—
and the thing could easily have hap
pened—it would have been cold
blooded, brutal, willful murder.
* * *
THE bean ball is no more a part of
1 legitimate baseball than would
be the use of an axe on the head of
a base runner or the knifing of a
fielder.
It would be difficult absolutely to
stop it. However, in most cases a
trained observer—such as an umpire
is supposed to be and usually isn’t—
could tell a ‘‘bean hall” from a wild
heave that went at the same mark.
A pitcher who uses it ought to be
fired out of baseball for one year and
fined not less than a thousand dol
lars. That might help to break up
the practice.
* * *
EDNESDA Y’S ball game was pie
** for the Crackers—4 to 1—with
’New Orleans the victim. Paul Mus-
ser came around and pitched a really
first-class game. The "fatal gift" was
with him to the extent of six passes,
but he was never in danger, chiefly
because he allowed only five hits. He
kept the hits pretty well separated
from the passes and the only time it
seemed possible that anything unfor
tunate mig*» happen Hendrvx wal-
? loped into a double play and relieved
the pressure.
* * *
r* ATCHER CHAPMAN made his
Atlanta debut and pleased
mightily. He is a husky brute, with
lots of gab and considerable clever
ness. The entire team showed a lot
of added "pep," but how much was
due to Chapman's example and how
much to something Manager Smith
might or might not have said in a club
house talk nobody knows.
If Chapman proves as good as he
looks, the Crackers are a vastly dif
ferent team. Graham has been an
uncertainty all the season. AYfd Dunn
was signed only as a second catcher
and could not be expected to carry
the whole thing along by himself.
With Chapman to do the heavy
backstopping and to lead in the chat
ter; with Dent promising to prove a
winning pitcher; with Musser back in
shape again, and With the rest of the
club playing to form, the locals ought
to begin forging toward the front
again.

LONDON, May 29.—American own
ers, horses and jockeys seem likely
to cut a pretty wide swath in the
great English Derby this year. Harry
Payne Whitney’s colt, Meeting House,
which ran third in the Guineas, has
a nice chance of winning. So lias
Herman B. Duryea’s Boyne, which
won the Paris Biennial, at ten fur
longs, quite comfortably from a
smart field. August Belmont also has
a colt in France which is going to
take some stopping on Epsom Downs,
barring accident.
Whitney's Meeting House is a fine
big colt by Voter out of Noonday,
and is one of the thirty yearlings he
purchased from the late James Keene
eighteen months ago.
Meeting House began slowly in the
mile race at Newmarket for the
Guineas and for a few strides he was
the last of a field of 15, but he moved
up to ninth in the first quarter, was
seventh after going five furlongs,
and ran over four well fancied candi
dates in the final quarter, being beat
en only two lengths in the final quart
er by Louvois and Craganour. which
was almost dead-heated. Meeting
House ran practically unbacked, with
15 to 1 against him to show, and
Frank O’Neill riding.
Was Nipped at The Last.
Craganour divided favoritism with
Fairy King and they showed the way
for six furlongs, when Craganour
drew clear, with Johnny Reiff on the
20 to 1 shot, Louvois, in hot pursuit.
Craganour should have won, but his
English jockey was overconfident
and tossed it off and the American
nipped him on the post with Louvois.
O’Neill would have ridden the
winner if Jack Joyner had kept Meet
ing House in the barn. O’Neill was
engaged last year to ride for Whit
ney in this race if he was wanted.
Subsequently Mr. Raphael, the owner
of Louvois, as well as of last year's
Derby winner, engaged both O’Neill
and Reiff to come over from Paris to
ride Louvois in the Guineas, O'Neill’s
engagament being conditional that
Joyner would not want him for
Whitney.
When Joyner decided to take a
chance with Meeting House, Raphael
had Johnny Reiff to fall hack upon,
and it was Johnny who won the
Derby for him on Tagalie last year.
But Mr. Raphael agrees with me
that Frank O’Neill is the greatest
jockey in Europe, and probably in
the world just now. and he has con
tracted with Frank to ride Louvois
in the Derby and other important
races. So if American owners and
horses fail in the Derby an American
rider is quite likely to win it.
Louvois Shows.
Louvois is the colt of which I
wrote last December; that if I had
to make my selection for the Derby
from last season's two-year-olds be
fore they ran this season as three-
year-olds, he would be my choice.
Louvois not only showed speed last
year but he impressed me as the most
likely to carry it over the Derby
route this year.
Jddging from the Planner in which
he oapie from behind and wore down
Craganour at one mile 1 expect
LouVuia to beat Ismay’s colt easily
at a mile and a half. To some ex
tent this argument also applies to
Whitney’s Meeting House being like
ly to beat Craganour for the Derby.
However, the talent makes Craganour
favorite at present at 9 to 2.
Shogun is going to become a hot
tip for Derby, but I can not stand for
a colt with two splints coming down
the hill at Epsom unless the going
should be very soft, which it seldom
is there.
Mr. Duryea’s Boyne is by Irish Lad
out of Running Water by Sir Dixon.
He is being pointed for the Derby, so
I hear from France.
Belmonts good Derby colt in
France is Vulcain. by Rock Sand out
of Lady of the Yale.
M'COY AND FERNS DRAW
IN TWENTY FAST ROUNDS
DAYTON*. OHIO, May 29—A1 Me-
Coy, of New Yorkt. and Wildcat Ferns,
of Kansas City, went twenty fast
rouiids to a draw here last night.

N EW YORK, May 29.—A new
power arises in organized base
ball, clamoring for certain
long neglected rights. This is the
Baseball Players’ Fraternity, organiz
ed less than a year ago under the
wise direction of David Fultz, a
prominent lawyer of New York and
in his day one of the greatest out
fielders in the big league. The Fra
ternity already embraces three hun
dred members: practically all of the
players of the two major leagues.
It is but a matter of a very shor*
time until the Baseball Players’
Fraternity branches out to include
the minor leagues as well. And as
power lies in force of numbers it
becomes evident that this Fraternity
will very shortly be in a position to
force the recognition it rightfully
deserves. There is absolutely no
idea of unionism in the fraternity.
Rather the association stands for a
strict interpretation of the laws
governing organized baseball. But
the organization proposes to see that
laws and regulations shall be fair
ly applied; that the magnates shall
not be favored one whit over the rank
and file of players who have built
up and made the great game the
popular sport which it is.
* * *
U LTIMATELY, no doubt, players
will have some sort of represen
tation on the National Commission,
the supreme court of the law’s gov
erning the game. This is no more
than fair. At present the baseball
commission is made up of a National
League club owner and the two presi
dents of the major leagues. In their
favor it must be said that on the
whole the work of this National Com
mission has been above reproach.
There have been instances of dis
crimination when discrimination was
to the best interests of magnates in
general.
* * *
Baseball is presumably the only
honest professional sport, if such a
broad name may be applied to such
a gigantic amusement enterprise. Its
honesty reflects the character of the
professional player rather than of the
professional promoter. It is a mat
ter of record that in its thousands
and thousands of cases involving
thousands and thousands of dollars
no player has ever lied who testified
before the National Commission. Who
can say as much for some of our
highly respected club owmers whose
first creed seems to be subterfuge
if not deceit?
* * *
WHILE the National Commission
' v prides itself upon an iron hand
in administering justice to bail play
ers. high and low, it religiously
evades shouldering equal responsibil
ity in a case of the magnate. For
the benefit of a trusting public it
may bluster and bluff a whole lot:
but that is as far as it goes. There
are too many illustrious examples
of the past few years to bear con
tradiction. It is true that the Na
tional league expelled from its ranks
last winter Horace Pogel. president
of the Philldelphia Nationals, be
cause he had given utterances un
complimentary to the honesty of the
sport and its administration. But
the National League fawned upon
•Charles W. Murphy, president of *he
Chicago Cubs, who was directly re
sponsible for Horace Fogel's out
burst. They had the goods” on
Murphy. Were they afraid of the
backing of this little trouble-maker
—the millions of Charles P. Taft?
* * •
IF Ban Johnson's word amounts to
* anything it w’as not the first time
that Murphy stood upon the brink,
ready for the kindly shove that in
the best interests of the game should
have been applied. Johnson declares
that Murphy should have been driven
out of baseball for speculating in
world’s series tickets in 1908 w hen his
Cubs drubbed the Tigers. Ban was
also very vehement 1n his outcry
against certain New York officials
during the series between the Giants
and Athletics in 1911. He was also
determined, he said, to expose the
shady manipulations of the celebrated
attempt to bribe the umpires at the
post-season play-off of the well
known Cub-Giant pennant tie at the
Polo Grounds in 1908.
* * *
J OHNSON may have been sincere in
both instances. If so then the
power? of organized baseball as em
bodied in the magnates stayed his
hand. The magnates were afraid of
public exposure.
We have had in the past too
many examples of lop-sided justice.
Where inconsequential players have
drawn maximum penalty for infrac
tion of the laws stars have been
exonerated. Hal (’base furnishes a
Very striking example. He quit New
York” and Griffith cold in 1908 \yh n
he was the only player left of the
saddest tail end aggregation one
could imagine. He committed the
unpardonable sin of organized base
ball. He not only "jumped” his con
tract with organized baseball but
went to an "outlaw’” league. This
penalty at the time should have
drawn a lifelong "black-list.’’ But
organized baseball could not afford
to lose such a drawing card as Chase.
The very next spring he was par
doned after a "ir.ock" trail. They
sought Chase. If he had been fin
average player all the influence in the
world could never have tempted the
National Commission to let down the
bars.
• • •
TT COBB is another bright example.
■ His indefinite suspension by John
son last year, because Ty assaulted
a spectator at the Hilltop, was the
direct cause of a strike by the De
troit Tigers. This action was a very
grave offense, but wholesale punish
ment would have been equivalent to
annulment of Detroit’s valuable chat
tels in players. Because of the
strength of numbers Ban Johnson
was compelled to leniency. After
ward he singled out Delehanty. a
passing veteran, on whom to vent
his disciplinary spleen. In compli
ance with the.Detroit ultimatum Cobh
was immediately reinstated. This
spring Ty Cobb held out for a record
salary. Organized baseball was ob
durate until the newspaper public
ity threatened a Congressional probe
into organized baseball to determine
whether or not it was a trust. Th°n
organized baseball fairly broke its
neck welcoming the Tiger hold-out.
Though Ty had violated baseball law
by playing with a baseball team in
the South u’hen he should have been
with Jenning?. he was reinstated by-
Ban Johnson before his application
could be brought before the National
Commission. Had it been some ob
scure "busher” instead of Cobb, he
would now undoubtedly be on the
suspended list. The National Com
mission might never discover his ap
plication for reinstatement.
* * *
T HE Baseball Players’ Fraternity is
a most admirable organization and
is very likely to resit!. in great good
to the game. Playing managers are
excluded from membership. Its chief
aim is mutual protection. It In
tends to work along harmonious lines
with organized baseball government.
It held aloof from the controversy
hpiwppp Cobb and ttm Detroit club,
maintaining that its chief purpose
was the observation and not nego
tiation of contracts. It has no ol>-
jection to the so-called "yoke” of
the reserve clause but it hopes to es
tablish some sense of equitable jus
tice in observation of contract and
some limit at least to the reserve
clause. Now the magnate has the
power to hold a player for life *.r
to release him on ten days’ notice.
The player has no redress and must
accept tlie terms offered. The fra
ternity hopes to be able in time to
adjust salaries on a far more sensi
ble basis. Last year a player on the
Pittsburg team was signed up for
$800. He had no say in the matter.
Wagner in the same club was draw’-
ing $10,000. Wagner may have been
twelve times the more valuable as
set. Yet a player who is worth 10
more than $800 should not be in the
big league. He can get more in the
"sticks” with a chance of develop
ment at the same time.
O RGANIZED baseball may need the
kindly services of the fraternity be
fore many months roll around. Per
haps the magnates have been killing
the goose of the- golden eggs. Pub
lic sympathy soems on the wane
Jack O’Connor in the civil courts in
St. Louis quite recently wa? awarded
a verdict for $5,000 against the
St. Louis American^. This was the
amount of a year’s salary as manager
of the Browns on a Contract that
Ban Johnson canceled because he al
leged that O’Connor had purposely
countenanced a scheme to boost Na
poleon Lajoie’s batting record above
that of Ty Cobb. Lajole, it is said,
was allowed to make a hit every
time he came to bat in the final game
of the season so that he might earn
an automobile which w’ent for the
batting championship.
« • *
VfOW, that little scandal was hush-
I ^ ed up at the time by the wily
Johnson. He straightened out the
matter by getting an extra benzine
buggy for Larry and awarding Cobb
the honors. The skeleton in the
closet, however, was rattled again in
the O’Connor suit w-hen Ban John
son produced witnesses who testified
that they had overheard O’Connor in
structing his men to give Lajoie an
unfavorable advantage over Cobb
Such testimony was not of a nature
to reassure public confidence in pro
fessional baseball. And it did abso
lutely no good, as the jury disre
garded it anyhow.

PELKY AND BURNS MAY
BE TRIED ON JUNE 23
CALGARY. ALBERTA. May 29 —
If Tommy Burns and Arthur Pelky
ever come to trial on a charge of
manslaughter In connection with the
death of Luther McCarty, it will be on
June 23 at the Supreme Criminal
Court session.
Burns will not give out his plans,
but it Is said that he is being
urged to abandon all connection with
ring affairs.
Cargo dispatches giving McCarty's
estate as worth *65,000 are grossly
exaggerated. His property is worth
about $12,000.
By Otto C. Kioto.
I N slanting a glance over the light
weight situation as it presents it
self to us «*.t the present time we
are forced to the conclusion that
there is more talk than doin'
and more challenges flying b&Y.t
and forth than there are accept
ances of the same. Take the
whole list of the boys that claim this
division as their own, each and every
one of them have a chip on their
shoulder and are aiming their 14-inch
guns at Willie Ritchie, the titlehold-
er. Their ammunition, however, is
mostly “buncombe." and the almighty
dollar 1? receiving far more attention
in these deliberations than is the
glory of becoming champion.
All of which forces us to lean back
and sigh, “Oh, you fortunate cham
pion? of to-day. How lucky you are
not to have been compelled to battle
In the time when real fighters graced
the roped inclosure.” Days when the
end was never in sight; days when
the finish came only with the referee’s
count and the acknowledgment from
the "seconds" of one or the other
principal that his charge could go no
further.
• • •
COME ma\ shrug their should-rs
^ and say. "Yes. but those were the
brutal days of the London prize
ring." Maybe they were, but they
also represented the period when
gladiators of real merit hel ! sway,
days when it required a stout heart.
?tamina, a knowledge of wrestling as
well as fighting, and an adept so far
as the science and punching ability
of the game went.
Seldom if ever did a champion re
turn to the ring once the stigma of
defeat was placed against his name.
He retired in tho?e days unless for
some exceptional reason he was al
lowed to come back. His future con
nection with the game was as second,
bottle-holder or representative of
some champion. Tom Sayers, after
his defeat by Langham, came back
and. in support of the move, we need
but add that he was never defeated
again. He was a middleweight, while
Langham was a heavy one when they
fought.
* * * .
"PAKE the average run of the
Queensberry babies we have in
our midst at the pfe?ent time and
when they stagger up against defeat
or adverse verdicts they hurry to the
nearest typewriter and frame fifty-
seven different varieties of alibis in a
made endeavor to explain awav their
rout.
Mind, we don’t wish you to mis
understand us in that the Queens
berry code failed to produce great
champions. On the contrary, it did.
Jimmy Barry. Jack McAuliffe. Jack
Dempsey, Jim Corbett, Fitzsimmons
and other? won titles under their
clauses. Rut remember, too. that they
all fought "To A FINISH" in order
to succeed to the emblem. The pres
ent day limited affairs w r ere foreign
to them.
• * *
M ANY will wonder why John L
Sullivan’s name is among those
missing from the above list. Simple
enough, and equally surprising to as
many to learn that Sullivan won his
title according to the L. P. R rules.
The only time he met defeat was by
the Queensberry route. So that tech
nically speaking Sullivan was never
defeated for the title. He at any
rate never lost It In the same man
ner in which he won It. The last
London prize ring fight In this coun
try was between Sullivan and Kil-
rain. at Richburg, Miss. This will
perhaps be news to many as well.
With the abolition of the L. P. R
rules came a flock of "box fighters,”
to whom the limited round journey
with eight-ounce gloves and Queens
berry methods appealed as the short
route to easy money. Over 70 per
cent of this same band would have
found employment at some other way
of making a living had the old-time
fashion of battles on the turf “to a
finish" still been in vogue.
