GOLFER TELLIER SAILS.
CHERBOURGH. FRANCE. Aug 21.—
Louis Tellier, the golfing champion of
France, has sailed for the United States
to compete in the golf tournament at
Brookline, Mass.
S T. LOUIS, MO., Aug. 21—What’s
the matter with St. Louis? Folks
in the Ea^t think that the Yan
kees are in bad light, but the New
Yorkers looked so much better than
the Missourians yesterday that Ban
Johnson’s visit here is timely. The
American League Czar has sent word
that he would be here this afternoon
to talk over the St. Louis situation
with Owner Hedges. Stovall and cer
tain newspaper men. The league po
tentate recognizes that baseball Is
pretty nearly dead in St. Louis and
he thinks he can produce a remedy.
Yesterday only 1,100 people saw
New York beat the Browns and that
includes the pass gate. People here
no longer patronize the game, either
at the American or National League
parks. For that matter, the Federal
League doesn’t draw either. There
was a time when this city was known
as the most loyal of all burgs, but
continued disaster has finally sick
ened the patrons, and while 10,000
people visit the new public bathing
pond a measly 1,100 go to see the
cellar champions fight it out.
It is just possible that St. Louis
may beat it out of the circuit
and some other city take Its place.
Secretary Tom Da via, of the Ne\y
York club, was disgusted yesterday at
the showing Iri Chicago the Yankees
drew splendid crowds, because they
are playing just as good ball as the
Athletics now, what with the four
pitchers going like demons and Swee
ney turning back nearly every man
who tries to steal.
“None of the clubs are making any
money out here,” said Davis. “Even
the Sunday attendance has fallen
away. I can not explain it. but the
locai jump is beginning to be a hard
ship. considering that a visiting club
is barely able to make expenses.”
Ban Johnson may decide to shift
the circuit. For example, either Bal
timore or Buffalo would be a better
paying proposition than St. Louis.
Many managers have had a go at this
team, but not since the days of Com
ickey has there been a pennant win
ner here.
