Spirt Comment
<n All fields
The New York State Athletic
Commission has made a new ruling
under which boxers in prelims are
to get paid by the round, no fighter
to get more 'than $10 per round. If
there is a k. o. the winner gets paid
for the number of rounds scheduled,
while the loser gets his only up to
the minute he kisses the canvas.
Strew that sort of laws around the
country thickly and maybe the can
vas won't feel quite so cushion-like
to the quitters. For a cushion with
out the "cush” isn’t so pleasant.

Scalping
Not too early to speak a piece
about ticket scalping in the world
series. •
Especially if the two New York
teams should cop, there must be
strict precautions taken to guard
against it. For with a one-town
series thousands more fans will fight
to attend all the games than if the
affair was a see-saw series between
cuies.
Baseball can’t stand another scan
dal now. Memories of that Red
White Sox-Black Sox affair are still
too fresh.

fights like the Downey-Wilson affair,

OUT I EYS
Early Season Tournament to
Start in About Week; Bowl
ers Signing Up Now
A two man bowling tournament to
commence in about one week is be
ing arranged by John W. McComas,
in charge of the Y. M. C. A. bowling
alleys. All of those desiring to en
ter this tourney are requested to
sign up with Mr, McComas at the
"Y" by the end of the week in order
that it might be definitely known
how many teams will be entered.
Two man tourneys have proven
the most popular of any conducted
on the Y. M. C. A. alleys since the
opening of the association, it taking
less time for the rolling of a three
game match with two-man teams
than with five-man teams and the
Interest seems to be more intense. It
is likely that the bowlers will be per
mitted to choose their own partners
on condition that the strongest bowl
ers In the association do not join
forces, leaving the weaker onea to
combine. This would soon make the
circuit an uninteresting affair and
those far behind would most likely
fall to complete their schedule.
The bowlers have been allowed to
choose their own partners in past
tourneys of this kind and it has al
ways been found that the teams
evened up well. There will be a com
mittee to consider all arguments and
questions which might arise during
the league, this committee being
headed by General Secretary Walter
H. Warr.
Several of the “old timers” have
_i. J_S____1 * .. n11n„a
again after laying off all summer
and this tournament is for the pur
pose of getting all of the pinmen into
shape for the winter season and see
ing which men will be the best to
represent the local Y. M. C. A. in the
state bowling league this year.
It is likely that the men will be
given a certain time limit in which
to complete their schedule of play
ing every other team a three-gamo
match, this time limit being fixed so
that the tourney will not drag along
over a long period. One month will
most likely be alloted to the bowlers
to complete their schedule. It is ex
pected that a small entry fee will be
charged of each man in order to
secure funds to assist in purchasing
prises for the winning team and
possibly the high average man and
high score man of the league as well.
Mr. MoComas urges that all of
those contemplating entering find
partners at once and sign up with
him now in order that some idea of
the number of teams in the league
can be secured. The members of the
"Y” first team, such as Bill Pember
ton, Clarence Hoffman, Edgar Mallet
and Blrden Golden, will not be per
mitted to team up but can take on
mediocre bowlers so as not to have
a "walk-away” from the rest of the
entries.

Ruth Isn’t Only Famous
“Babe” In Majors
* By BOB DORMAN
Pitchers may come and pitchers
may go, but I go on forever.
That might well be the slogan of
Babe Adams, veteran Pirate hurler
who is leading the National League
in box work and who is largely re
sponsible for keeping the Pirates in
the pennant race.
Babe is 88. For IS years he has
been feeding 'em over in the big
league and for nine years before
that he was in the minors.
"I haven’t any special rules for
keeping in shape,” he says. I eat
what I want, but regularly, and I
get plenty of sleep.
"I have always taken good care
of myself and it has mighty tyell re
paid me. When other fellows with
whom I started are all in, their
physical powers burned up, I go
along feeling like a youngster.
"I love baseball, and I'm going
lu nil an iuuf, a O iuv
old wing will stand for it.
“X don’t know why my arm holds
up so well unless it's the way I grip
the ball. Most pitchers, you know
grip the ball as tightly as possible,
thinking they can get more break on
it that way.
“I always have made it a prac
tice to hold tl^e ball loosely. I be
lieve it gives me better control, and
it certainly is easier op the arm."
“Anchor Men” of Giants

NEW YORK—If it is consistency
the Giants are depending on for
copping the National League pen
nant, they have it in a puzzle pitch

ular than that of George Kelly or
Clover Midgets Defeat Stars
The Clover Midgets defeated the
Jay Flynn All Stars in a game on
the Lumber field grounds on Tues
day afternoon by a score of 4-2.
Pucci and Cuiff were in the points
for the winning team, while Irving
and Kertes comprised the battery
for the losing combination. Man
ager Flynn disputes the claim of
the Clovers, setting forth that the
score was tie 2-2 when the game
ended in an argument. The Insets,
the correct name of Manager
Flynn's team .will play the Oriole
Midgets on Saturday morning.
Meusel, the homerun swatters of
the Giants, the records show they
ire the reliable sort that go for
high averages when the whistle
blows. For Nehf is topping the
Giants in games won, while Boss is
loading McGraw’s men with the
dudgeon.
Sacred Hearts Challenged
Adam Kaczmarek, manager of
:he Protection nine of South Amboy
.vould like to book a game with 4he
sacred Heart nine, another South
\mboy combination. The Protection
nanager claims that the Sacred
Hearts think they are too good for
:he Protections, but Manager Kacz
marek expresses a belief that worse
earns than the Protections have de
feated the Sacred Hearts.
Blazing Stars Win
The Blazing Stars baseball team
recently defeated the Athletic Jrs.
by a score of 15-2. The Stars are
without a game for Sunday.
Buffalo Colored Team Plays
Woodbridge Caseys Sunday
Afternoon
The Columbian club baseball team
of Woodbridge will play the Buffalo
Colored Giants a return game on the
Woodbridge grounds this Sunday af
ternoon. Tho colored combination
met defeat ut tho hands of the
"Caseys" several Sundays ago, in a
well played game, and an Interesting
tussle is expected when these teams
lock horns in the coming game.
"Butch" Ncider. who last Sunday
pitched a no hit, no run game
against tho Pioneer nine of this city,
will do the flinging for tho Colum
bian club nine in this game, while
the Buffalo colored outfit pitching
