St_ri_fc of Leagues Detrimenfial
Meyers Suggests Peace Treaty
By ‘‘Chief’’ Meyers.
(Star Catcher of Champion Giants.)
66 HAT'S the trouble with
W baseball this season?”
This came from an ener
getic fan the other day. [ say en
ergetic bhecause he uses as much
physical energy In rooting for the
(ilants as any other man 1 have ever
known,
“It seems to me it’s an off year In
more ways than one,” he continued,
“There s an atmosphere of unrest in
the grandstands, an apparent discon
tent among the players, an over
abundance of form reversals and a
shocking falling off in attendance. Is
it all due to the invasion of the Fed
eral League?”
“The Federal League ig but one of
the results,” was my answer to the
fan. “The cause I 8 too much com
merclalism.”
And I'll tell you what 1 meant by
my answer,
Baseball, In so far ags Mr. Fan is
concerned, is a sport, Mr, Fan foots
all the bills of the game by the ad
mission fee which he pays at the
gate, and he is Interested in baseball
only as a sport, and is entitled to have
it gerved up to him as such,
The intrusion of the commercial end
of the game i 3 objectionable to him,
when the sporting end s the loser
thereby. In other words, Mr. Fan
pays his moeney to see basgeball, and
the best brand of baseball. If this is
Players Use Mercenary Spirit
To the Detriment of Baseball
I’l‘ can all be traced back to the
greed of the magnate, but ithe
greed of the player, which followed,
is hardly the lesser evil. The seeds of
Murphyism had borne their abomina
ble harvest long before Murphy was
forced out of baseball. And‘*many of
the players have caugzht the mercena
ry spirit and are using it to their
private advantage and the detriment
of the game.
Intn this hreach of discontent the
Federal League thrust jtself, and the
breach was widened. Organized base
ball, Jealous of its long-enjoyed mo
nopoly, declared war on the new
comer, and the player seized the op
portunity to demand war prices for
his wares. On all sides it is a case of
extremes. There is no neutral ground.
: Treaty Only Remedy.
The remedy is eimple, It is a mat
ter of getting together by those, an
equitable adjustment of the differ
ences, the signing of a peace treaty
which will accord to each his rights,
Also this agreement must guaran
tee the right of others, including Mr.
Fan. Neither the magnate nor the
player has anything to lose by such
action. In truth, it means thelr sal
vation,
And such action is not o difficult
as {t might appear. Concesslons could
bhe made graciously by all concerned.
But as long as selfishness and stuo
hornness and bias are the ruling ele
ments there can be no compromise,
and the game will continue to suffer.
Mr. Fan does not object to the ad
vent of the Federals, and this i~ .ne
good thing for organized baseball to
remember. He welcomes any organi
zation which gives promise of fur
nishing a standard brand of the
game, He will patronize that leaguse
which gives him what he wants.

nnt given him, he becomes &0 aisin
terested that he finds other (hings
more entertaining than a isit to tae

Also Mr. Fan is very fickle. He has
been known more than once to trans
fer his allegiance. But this is his
privilege hecause hasebsll belongs 10
him and he can do with his own as he
sees fit,
He mayv be on such terms of inti
macy with Mr, Michael Donlin as tn
address him from the grandstand as
Mike. Bt this same fan {2 most cer
tainly more interested in seeing the
game Mr. Donlin make good as A
pinch hitter or in right field than e
is in the fizures of Mr, Donlin's sai
ary, and the same thing applies Lo
me and every other player in the
league.
Baseball 1s too big to Le seriougly
affected by the conditions responsible
for its present state. It may be re
tarded for vears, but it is pound .9
come into itx own again, and the only
aufferers will he the manager and the
players And they will have no one o
blame but themselves.
Tt is true, there is an apparent lack
of basehall interest onsthe part of the
public, which manifests itself in de
creased attendance at the games, Of
course, there have been hiz crowds on
some of the days thix season, bhut
these have been few. There is a dn
pression in the baseball m: ‘cet. The
artistic end of the game is overbal
anced by the commercial end, and Mr.
F‘néx js interested only in the artistic
end,
Nelther does he ohlect to a reason
able profit for the magnate who
finances the sport, nor is he particu
larly interested in the wage of the
piayer. Biit he does ohject to tha
continued wrangling and everything
else which Interferes with the quality
of baseball, whether it be the avarice
of the club owner or the excessive de
mands of the mian on the diamond.
Lose Faith in Jumper.
Under existing conditiong, Mr. Fan
feels that he is the wronged person,
and his patience has been long-guf
fering. He wants harmony between
{lha bench and the box office, The
contract jumper shocks his confidence
{n the honesty of the game, and con
ditions which make contract jumping
possible rob him of baseball absolute
ly on the level, and this is the foun
dation upon which the game rests. \
- Mr. Fan is weary of too mueh basc
ball commercialism, He is impatient
with the apparent unrest among the
plavers and indifference on the dia
!mond. He is demanding his right to
be allowed ‘1 put some real enthusi
‘asm into his rooting. He is becom
ing the real factor in this baseball
war—in fact, he has always been Lhe
‘ real factor.
1 believe that the players would be
the first to enter a peace agreement,
' Many of them know that many of the \
‘xularinn now paid are excessive and
that a reaction must come. Few r‘lnbu‘
in either of the two major loaguesl
have not felt the ravages of the pres
ent baseball strife. The Glants have
‘ suffered less, perhaps, than any other
’vln!L This has much to do with their
leading the league and their conse
quent large number of loyal fnllu\\'-‘
ers.
But Mr. Fan won't be satisfied until
the warring elements c:ase warring
and play ball ‘

If the boxing commissions in the
different States where fighting Is
legal will only hold together un
der “fire,”” writes Billy Birch in The
Chicago Herald, Tom McCarey, the
veteran Los Angeles promoter, has a
scheme whereby present champlions
will be forced to fight at least three
times § year or lose their crowns.
The only hitch in MeCarey's idea re
mains with the rulers in charge of the
game, but the plan looks so good on
paper that it would be advisable for
them to think twice before turning it
down,
The coast promoter wants a com
mittee formed, compoged of an East
ern, Middle Western and Coast fight
ing authority, whose duty it will be
to look after the champions, or, in
other words, ““‘champion the cham
pions.” It does not necessarily fol
low that the new commission will in
‘any way interfere with the authori
ties of the different States permitting
bouts, but its purposes will be to keep
the game alive,
This body, if it materializes, wiil get
together once or twice a year and set
aside certain dates for championship
itncounters. The nearest contender
for the title in question will be
‘awarded the date as the title-holder’s
opponent, and the mill must be pulled
off unless an accident befalls either
fighter. The club offering the best in
ducements gets the contest, so the
Loxer will have no kick coming as
regards a hold-up. |
In a few words, this boxing com
mittee will be something on the order
of the national commission governing
baseball and its players. No 'salary
will be paid the members, but their
expenses will be paid by a general
tax on the different clubs interested
iu the plot.
The main object of McCarey In
suggesting this union of clubs Is to
do away with the artistic championg
and force them to fight in a ring now
and then instead of through the news
papers.
