CHRISTY MATHEWSON SAID TO BE
SLATED AS CHIEF OF NEW UNION
Organization of another brotherhood
r ‘union’ baa been started among
the major league baBeball players It
has been learned In some quarters
Quiet movements have been made
among the playera all season but the
organization has not been completed
and its complete plans will not be an-
nounced until near the end of the
season or until winter
Efforts have been made or will be
made to get Christy Mathewson
former Giant star pitcher who now
Is recovering from tuberculosis ' at
Saranac lake to get as the president
of-the organization either In an ac-
tive or honorary capacity
Desire Member on Beard
The organization will attempt to get
a representative of the players on the
national advisory board which con-
sists of Commissioner Landis John
A Heydler president of the National
league and Ban Johnson president of
the American league
The players take the position that
they are entitled to have a voice In
the sessions when rules and regula
EXPENDITURES INCREASE
Y Perhaps In no other sport is
there as much expense as In the
running of a ballterfm and the
cost has increased greatly since
the early days of the game
There Is an authentic record of
receipts and expenditures of the
Boston dub ' for the year 1875
The total receipts for the season
were $3776700 and the expenses
were $3450599 which left a bal-
ance of $326107' A profitable
season In those times Now fig-
ure McG raw’s team as an ex-
ample Two ' players cost him
$175000 without figuring any-
thing else Babe Ruth’s salary
alone Is probably twice the
amount of the total receipts of
the Boston team back in 1875
and there' were good ball play-
era In those days too

ELPS WIN BASEBALL GAMES
othing Mere Conducive to Success ef
Local Team Than Hearty Sup-
port ef Fans
fter all t ne of the things which
-lps a team win Is the support of the
rae folk It's so in all kinds of
'orts particularly bnseball With the
ns full of pep cheering the athletes
It Is easier to respond With the
ns giving the razz It Is easier for
e players to drep Into a slump Many
seball gomes have been won by the
as well as the players
tions which affect their end of the
game are considered
At various times since' the old play-
ers' fraternity ceased to function the
players have been considering- the
formation of another organization
The demand for such a protective
body was felt to have been acute Inst
winter when “Babe” Ruth Bob Meuael
and Bill Piercy were suspended for
violating the antl-barnstorm rule
Think Rule Is Unjust
The playera - took the position that
the rule was unjust to them and that
practically all of the rules along thq
same line were drawn from the club
owners’ viewpoint alone ’ '
Efforts also will be made it Is un-
derstood to have a different form of
contract adopted in the major leagues
The players maintain that under the
present system they haven’t a chance
to have a voice in their own affairs
and have no appeal from a form of
virtual “slavery” that the present
form of contract places them In
The1 players also would like to have
some kind of an arbitration hoard for
the review of salary disputes
Baseball
Notes
It Is obvious that muny pitchers
never have woven any tangled web
Amos Strunk’s work In center field
Is highly pleasing to the Chicnago
fans '
If those reports are true Shufflin'
Phil Douglas bas shuffled himself into
the discard
The Portland baseball club has pur-
chased Pitchers Sullivan and Yarrison
from the Philadelphia Athletics
v
The Giants have a new pitcher
named Blume Will Blume blossom
or be Just a morning glory?
Every now and then the Braves up
and win a game Just to show that
baseball Is Impossible to dope
Foster Ganzel former Boston play-
er now with Evanston will probably
be signed by the Cleveland Indians
While with Cincinnati Slim Sallee
pitched 65 balls hi a nine inning game
against Brooklyn' September 21 1919
The St Louis Nationals announce
the purchase of Ray Blades second
baseman from Houston of the Texas
league

During nn American league game

If the baseball players organize a
union the first thing they may be ex-
pected to do is to declare the1 umpires
to be unfair '
The Cleveland American league
club has purchased Pitcher Winn from
the Nashville (Tend) Southern asso-
ciation team
Roy Thomas formerly of the St
Louis National league team succeed-
ed George Whiteman as manager of
tbe Houston club'
Georgq Abrams star pitcher of tbe
Enid (Okla) club of the Western as-
sociation has been bought by the Cin-
cinnati Nationals
Wallace Hood Is developing Into a
first baseman of class with tbe Seattle
club and he Is hitting as If the posi-
tion agreed with him
Organized baseball had its first
real scandal In 1877 when four play-
ers of the National league were ex-
pelled for “selling games”
Mandy Brooks outfielder of tbe
Peoria baseball club of tbe Three-1
league was sold to tbe Columbus club
of tbe American association

'From a frisky kid vending peanuts

tbe best fielding first baseman In the
National league all within a few years
was the rapid progress made by-
Charley Grimm -of the Pittsburgh
Pirates ' During the morning practice
sessions of the Cardinals Grimm nsed
to work out with tbe players and elec-
trified all bands by his sensational
fielding Whenever he bad a Satur-
day or Suhday off he utilized it by
playing semi-pro ball

Tne Caruinais were weaa at tnat sta-

to give the flashy kid a chance' Grimm
failed to measure up to major league
standards and St Louis let him out to
Little Rock of the Southern associa-
tion without strings on him That
is the mysterious part of the entire af-
fair Grimm we'nt big in the Dixie cir-
cuit In 1919 and thereby won a trial
with the Pirates His style of playing
appealed to Manager Gibson and he
landed a regular berth right off the
reelin 1920
Grimm the peer of any first base-
man In the John Heydler circuit not
even excepting Daubert lived up to
all the nice things snid about his han-
dling the pellet but he failed to set the
world on fire as a hitter last season
However he has shown a vast im-
provement in this department of the
game this season and his hatting has

A Britisher tells a story of a mem-
ber of the clergy who took too large a
mouthful on one occasion
He was visiting the county Jnll and
expiated to a friend who wns with
him on the virtues of the treadmill
Warming up with his theme he de-
clared that he often wished he had one

cise he required and to remove his
friend's skepticism 'tie asked - the
warden to give him a turn
Round went the wheel the clergyman
declaring that the movement was de-
lightful but after two minutes he had

the mule ran head-on Into a tree
