CAPABLE PLAYERS DEVELOPED
IN SCHOOL SERIES THIS YEAR
Central, Business, Western and Technical
Get Men on All-Star Nine?Other
Gossip of Amateur Sports.
BY H. C. BYBD.
There was some good material de
veloped In the high school base ball series
this year. There has not been a season
in some time when as many capable play
ers were to be tound on the various teams.
Not only does the club which won the
championship number among Its members
several youngsters of more than ordinary
ability, but the other nines also had men"
of whose play they could well feel proud.
It would be difficult indeed to select
an all-high team that would give satis
faction to everybody. There are, in fact,
two ways in which a star nine may be
chosen. One is to give the men who played
best in certain positions the preference
and the other is to so adjust the line-up
that the strongest possible front is ob
tained without consideration for the po
sitions played. In either case it Is almost
impossible to pick a combination without
leaving off some men who were just about
as capable as others. A particular point
in case is that of Eiseman of Tech and
McDonald of Central at second. Both
these youngsters did splendid work for
their teams and either could make some
position on any scholastic team that might
be picked. Then why may not both be
given places on an ali-star combination?
The catcher's position, probably the
most important, barring the pitcher's,
goes to Hart of Central without ques
tion. He was much more capable than
any of the other receivers, there being
little comparison between him and
any other man holding down that posi
tion. As a matter of fact, Hart was
about the only catcher who could
throw at all. That is one position un
disputed.
The two best third basemen were
Peine of Western and Flood of Tech
nical. The latter is given the choice be
cause of his seeming superiority with
the bat. It is very questionable if
Flood is any better fielder than Peine
and almost certain is it that he is not
so fast. Hartshorn of Central. Gerardi
of Business. Stearns of Western and
Ochsenreiter of Technical were good
men at shortstop. Stearns, because of
an injury to his wrist, did not play up
to his usual standard and Gerardi was
not as experienced as either of the
other two, but seemed to bat better.
The latter probably would not be able
to make certain plays as well as his
i ivals for the position, which narrows
it down to Hartshorn and Ochsenreiter.
The last mentioned is given the place.
This is a selection that will meet with
criticism because Ochsenreiter has not
been very effective as an offensive fac
tor in his team's play, but considering
his experience in high school base ball
h* would likely prove a more stable
feature than any other one of the
four.
McDonald of Central and Eiseman of
Technical are the two best second
basemen. Both can use their bats ef
fectively and field their positions well.
The honor is awarded to McDonald,
though, because of his greater experi
ence in the position. Eiseman is shift
ed from second base to left field, inas
much as it would be impossible to
^ keep him off a scholastic nine because
of his batting, even though he failed
in other particulars.
First base lies between Howard of
Western, White of Central and Ray
Wise of Business. Howard has hardly
played as well this spring as he was
capable of doing, though his wrork was
very creditable. White can hit some
what better than Howard, but does not
field as well. The position is awarded
to Wise, though, as that youngster was
in the game at all times, fast on the
bases and a fielder of more than aver
age capabilities. He also could hit
fairly well and would prove a good
leader for the team.
With Eiseman filling one outfield
position, the other two go to Roberts
of Tech and Peyton of Western. Rob
erts fielded brilliantly in several of the
contests and batted fairly well. Pey
ton could field and hit, and he is a
youngster who gave evidences of ex
ceptional potential abilities.
There was not much to choose be
tween Cox of Central. Hird of Tech
nical and Blundon of Business as pitch
ers. Gottlieb of Central also did well,
but, as Cox was given the preference
over him in the majority of games, he
can hardly be considered so effective.
Peck of Western also did well at
times. The most consistent work was
done by Hird of Technical, though,
and, despite his defeat in the final con- |
test with Central, probably he should be i
given the first place. Cox of Central
is placed practically on even terms 1
with Hird. and ahead of Blundon, be
cause he beat both in games in which j
he officiated agrainst them. Hird and
Cox would he the two men for the i
box work. I
There were other players who were |
a credit to their teams, but it is im- j
possible to give them here the credit
due because of a lack of space. Tom- j
lin and Dyer of Eastern were above
the average, but did not show well be- j
cause they were with a losing nine. |
Were it not that Eiseman is taken
from second base and placed in the j
outfield Chapin of Central would get
that position, and so it- might go on.
The season was a good one. The boys
have nothing in their records of which
they need feel in the least ashamed.
It was perhaps the closest series in the
history of high school base ball, and
the play was of a character that would
compare well with any previous year.
HAS SCHEME TO MAKE PLAYERS
WORK THROUGHOUT THE SEASON
Expert Declares That Part Bonus and Part
Straight Salary System Would Im
prove Present Conditions.
A part bonus and part straight
Salary system in the base ball players'
rontracts would do much to correct
?ome of the present salary injustices
of base ball, declares an expert.
At the present time many magnates
ure bewailing the fact that some of
their stare who are drawing fat
salaries under long-term. ironclad
contracts are not giving their best
efforts, while some of the young play
ers who are outbatting and out
fielding the veterans are howling be
cause they are tied to contracts that
call for. only one-half or one-third
of the salary that is paid to the high
priced shirkers.
This condition could be remedied for
all time by paying to each player a
fixed salary, *of a small amount each
year, and putting a schedule of
bonuses in his contracts which would
enable him to get paid for what he
really does.
Suggestion in Detail.
The suggestion, concretely, is this:
Fix a standard salary for each play
er, somewhere around $1,S00 or $2,000
a year, which sum the player is to get
ro matter how his work shows up.
Then arrange a bonus system that is
applicable to each branch of base bail
ers
hi the case of pitchers, a bonus of
J 1.000 could j?o to all pitchers finish
ing the season with an average of
.50?? ?>r better. $1,500 bonus money to
th?? men winning 60 per cent of their
games. 12,000 bonus to the men win
ning two-thirds of their games, $3,000
bonus to men winning three-fourths of
their Karnes, $4,000 bonus to men fin
ishing with a mark over .750.
'n this way a pitcher would get paid i
fo- what he does during the present
season?not on his record of several,
w#-a*ons before. And in this way a kid
p!?rher would have as fair a chance
t?? tiri b.g money as a veteran. All the
k -I would need to do would be to win
games. j
Small Bonus for Pitchers.
I':!'-hers could he given a small bonus
for tutting and fielding above a cer
f. ;< mount, hut should not be allowed
:o figure in the general bonus of other
I 1.j vers for fielding and batting.
On f fielders, infielders and catchers
? O lid guaranteed $2,000 a year and
would earn their bonuses by their field
? i< ;i' d hatting stunts. Here is a

Also Penalties.
A penalty system could be arranged
so that a player who batted under a
minimum figure or who fielded under a
minimum figure would suffer deduc
tions from the bonus earned in the oth
er department. For instance, if a play
er hit .295 he would be entitled to
$1,000 bonus money, but if he fielded
only .900 he would be subject to a de
duction of $250 from the bonus earned
in batting.
If a player didn't farn any bonuses
and hit and fielded below the minimum,
no deductions are to be made, as the
$2,000 straight salary would be im
mune from deductions.
With the bonus system in operation
an inflelder who hit for .325 and fielded
.965 would get $2,000 bonus for batting:
and $1,000 bonus for fielding, making a
total salary of $5,000. This system
seems to be a fair one.

GOLF MATCH PLAY HANDICAPS
NEED SOME NEW APPLICATIONS
Present System of Allowing Strokes Equal
ing Three-Fourths of Difference Held
to Insufficiently Aid Poor Golfer.
More than one effort has been made
in the last few years to change the
system of match play encounters of the
second, third and it may be the fourth
sixteens, writes John Anderson in the
New York Sun. The method of giving:
strokes amounting to three-fourths of
the difference in handicaps has not
been as satisfactory as desired, yet the
lack of a proper substitute has caused
the old method to remain in vogue; this
season has seen it again incorporated
in the schedules of many of the clubs.
The fault findings have been of various
sorts and coming from no particular
class of golfer. It has been by no means
definitely fixed that three-quarters of
the handicap difference is the right
system, for in a match between a low
and a high handicap man there are
other factors entering in besides the
mere matter of strokes.
For instance, the 20-handicap man who
is playing with, let us say. for example,
a 5 man does not receive a sufficient
counteracting: stimulus from his handi
cap which will offset the thought, of his
patent inferiority as a real golfer in com
parison with his opponent. If the high
handicap man is a hard-working, faith
ful golfer he will feel abashed at many
of his efforts and the knowledge of his
stroke or strokes to be gained at certain
holes will not suffice to draw his atten
tion away from his defects; if he is a
careless golfer it is quite likely that he
will not play with even his accustomed
ability. And added to all this is the
fact that golfers who have large handi
caps are not so keen for winning as
those who receive short allowances from
the official stroke allotter. The man with
a 15 or 20 handicap may be Just as much
interested in the game, he may be highly
pleased when he does win, but because
he is In class C or D he does not try so
hard nor get so much pleasure when con
fronted by a class A or B man.
That this Is not theory has been proved
the past two seasons, for we have in
stances of several clubs which have
made it the regulation that no man can
qualify in a higher division who has a
handicap below a certain figure. That is
good business from the standpoint of in
terest of all the golfers in the tourna
ment. and if no other ways and means
are followed, should be instituted at
every <:Iub which holds handicap tourna
ments ;for members and guests.
Another Complaint Bobs Up.
Then there Is another complaint,
namely that three-fourths of the handi
cap difference is not enough and that
the whole allowance should be given.
Fact as well as fancy has played a part
In this discussion,, and the arguments
cannot be decided on the results gained
from the practice, for there is an even
distribution. Last year a controversy
raged within separate clubs with the
county union of clubs in central Eng
land and in the West Bowling Goif
Club in particular as the center of the J
heated discussion. The members of that
club who thought that full handicaps
should be given out not only in handi
cap match play, but in all bogey and
par competitions were in the majority,
and naturally the system had a real
try-out.
Far from being a failure, as was
freely predicted, the method worked out
exceedingly well. In forty competitions
with an average of seventy-five golfers
playing in each it was found that on
only one occasion was the result at all
out of the ordinary. That was where
one golfer "went mad." as they said,
and turned in a score of S up on bogey.
It is significant, I think, that it was
bogey and not par that was played
against, for it would be an easy mat
ter for many of our players to get
eight or even more holes up on bogey
if listed after the custom of some years
back. In fact, I know of several clubs
where the difference between bogey and
par is at least eight strokes and the par
is not a difficult one at that. Therefore
when the other clubs in the*county asked
the West Bowling club to revert to the
old established standard the latter club
politely declined and invited the others
to Join it in this new method of play
ing matches which were against bogey,
par or in handicap match.
There is no argument in that what is
good enough for all the other clubs is
good enough for the one which is trying
out a new system; every attitude and
attempt to get something which is bet
ter should not be frowned upon, but
rather encouraged, for it is only by ex
periment that real results will be gained.
May Not Be Correct Way.
It has not been proved, however, that
this is the correct way. for other results
have shown contrary evidence. It is
usually admitted that the low handicap
player goes off his game less frequently,
that the poor golfer loses many strokes |
on one hole, also which accounts for a |
reduction of his handicap to three- j
fourths, and it has been suggested in a;
previous article that the giving of
bisques is a much fairer method of deal
ing with all matches which go beyond
the medal stage where handicaps are
allowed.
This latter system has always seemed
to me to contain the greatest merit, but
the difficulties in determining upon the
ratio have not yet been fully met. In
place, therefore, of an elaborate system
involving much fighting, I would sug
gest a scheme which has a certain ap
peal: It is to give the high handicap
player a certain number of holes as a
start before any of the eighteen holes I
have been played and then let the
golfers fight it out on that line. There
are a number of reasons why this would
make a match more interesting to each
one. To begin with there would be none
of the "feeling out" process. It would
be a struggle right from the start. The
golfer who gave the handicap would
know before he started just what was
required of him and would set abbut his
task with a mind .more fully exercised
upon the task in hand than the usual
uncertainity which prevails. I can see
no benefit to be gained from this feeling
of uncertainity, for there is enough of it
already in the making of the shots, par
ticularly of those who are not any too
good golfers. There would be no short
ening of the matches, either, for even if
the handicapped one did win the first
two holes there would be a greater num
ber left for the other golfer to get in his
share of unexpected or unusual wins;
these unlooked-for wins and losses about
even up in every ten holes, it will be
found, and the luck, so-called, which en
ters in is almost a negligible quantity.
No Settled System.
The question then arises as to what
method should be used in handicapping
the golfers, that is, how shall the num
ber of holes to be given be awarded.
There would have to be some different
provision, of course, from the regular
method, for when strokes are given on
certain holes the prospects of the one
giving the handicap are materially les
sened so far as each hole goes, while for
every hole on which there is a handicap
there is one less chance in eighteen for
the low mark man getting a reduction.
This is offset, quite so. I think, by the
fact that the full eighteen holes, or as
many of them as necessary are to be
played at scratch with the usual in
ferior feeling of the poorer player and
so on. But if, as should be the case, the
handicap sixteens are played in classes
and only those are eligible who are the
recipients of certain handicaps, say from
scratch to eight, eight to sixteen and
sixteen to twenty-four, then the number
of holes which should be given could be
easily determined.
My own opinion on the matter is that
there is no settled system of thus fix
ing the number of allotted holes solely
because of the differences there are In
the courses, and that the action should
be left to the committees of the various
clubs to so determine, but I feel that
not less than three-fourths of the handi
caps should be granted. If one player
had twelve and another had sixteen a
start of three holes would be about
right. If a golfer had sixteen and an
other had twenty-three or twenty-four
a start of six or seven holes would b?
In order. The length of the course
wOuld be the determining factor, the
three-quarter handicap might well give
way to the full allotment on long
courses when there was no class dis
tinction in the matter of handicaps,
and then I feel confident that the
matches would be more interesting,
harder fought and thoroughly enjoy
able.

of targets. W. C. Blundon was second
with 20 down in this event and was
also second in the Huseman-Ford

BASE BALL BRIEFS.
"Merkle and Perritt!" exclaimed Pres
ident Hempstead of the Giants in a
burst of feeling. "The only thing that
has broken good for us this season is
noses."
Since the change in management the
C'levelands have made a big brace.
They made opponents go twelve in
nings in one of their defeats.
Pat Moran traded Magee for Whitted..
Dugey and some coin of the realm.
Now Moran avers that he wouldn't give |
Whitted for Magee even.
The Pirates and Detroits will play an
exhibition game in Syracuse next
Tuesday, and Bob Emslie, who played
In that burg twenty-five years ago, will
umpire.
Relating to Ty Cobb, somebody re
marks that the wizard hits his stride
again. Excepting recurring dark ages,
from November to March, inclusive,
every year, we don't recall any time in
the recent span of years In which he
ever was out of it.
Herzog and his Reds achieve a great
great victory every day on which they
succeed in staying out of last place.
Pitcher Potts of Ohio State received a
broken jaw in a collision with First
Baseman House of the same team dur
ing a game with Chicago, at Columbus,
May 14. Ohio State won, 9 to 6, with
out its star twirler.
The bombardment of Link, Princeton's
star twirler. by Williams was a great
surprise. Link had Williams at his
mercy until the seventh inning, when
five runs were earned. Three more
were added in the ninth for good meas
ure. It was Link's first really ba4
game.

BROOKLYN, N. Y., May 29.?George
town University defeated the Crescent
Athletic Club at Bay Ridge today by a
10-to-9 score in a game that went ten
innings. It was the most peculiar con
test seen at the home of the New Moon
Club this season. In the third inning
the Crescents blew up, and before the
players could settle down Georgetown
had brought home seven runs. A homer
by Spillane was responsible for three
of the markers. To make matters worse
for the clubmen there were two out
when they went sailing up in the air.
The Crescents could have again tied up
the score in the tenth inning, but Sides
struck out, leaving two men on the
bases. The score:

DAUSS ELOPES; WINS GAME.
Detroit Pitcher Joins Ranks of Bene
dicts in St. Louis.
Special Dispatch to-The Star.
ST. LOUIS, May 29.?George A. Dauss,
pitcher for the Detroit American
League team, was one of the principals
in a double elopement today and after
being married went to the ball park,1
pitched the first game in a double-,
header and won it, 7-1. He married
Miss Ollie Speake of this city, and at
the same time his bride's sister. Miss
Jessie Speake, was married to James
A. Gilbert, secretary of a brass com
pany of St. Louis.
The four went to Clayton, the county
seat of St. Louis county, and after pro-'
curing the marriage licenses went to
the offices of a justice of the peace.
Dauss was desirous of keeping hi,
marriage a secret until after the game,7|
as he said he was afraid Manager
Jennings would not let him pitch if he
learned he had just been married. He
wanted the Justice to put some news
papers up at the uncurtained windows
so no outsiders could observe the cere
mony.
Jennings and the ball players knew
of the marriage by the time Dauss
reached the park and they congrat
ulated him, while the manager took a
chance and sent Dauss in to pitch as
originally scheduled.

MAY GOLF TOURNEY
Remaining Unplayed Hatches to Be
Decided on Conrie To
morrow.
The. May closed golf tournament of
the Columbia Country Club is almost
completed, and the few remaining
matches yet unplayed will be gotten
out of the way tomorrow. The event
is a handicap one. in which the lower
handicap player starts his opponent a
number of hojes "up" equal to half the
difference in their handicaps.
The best match of the week was
brought out in the consolations of the
first sixteen, when it took M. E. Dan
forth twenty holes before he could
beat D. K. Jackson. They were all
even at the eighteenth, and the next
two were halved. Danforth winning the
match by counting a pretty 4 on the
twentieth.
Top honors went to \V. J. McNally. as
he won out in the first flight, defeating
Dr. C. H. Stearns. 4 up and 3. He
played exceptionally good golf and de
served to win. In the semi-finals he
was forced to meet "Eddie" Eynon, who
is now going at top speed, and he won
by 3 up and 2, making a medal score
of close to par figures.
The semi-finals of the second flight
brought out an interesting match when
Dr. P. L. Hodges met George H. Chas
mar. It was a "dingdong" affair, in
which neither was ever more than 1
up. the match being squared at the
sixteenth, the seventeenth being halvefl
and the doctor winning, 1 up. by tak
ing the eighteenth.
