I&ffHR Brand old gnme of bnsohnll becoming lop-heavy and s a thorotigli
ifurganlantldn necessary to prevent Its ruin?
"fence litis been made between the warring factions, hnd It was freely
predicted that tho game would flourish ngaln, but recent developments prove
conclusively that baseball Is really In n bad way. Next summer and perhaps
fdrthroo or four more years the fans will enjoy n better article of ball than
JiavJbCQn displayed In the major leagues since the war began, but veteran
baseball men believe there are breakers ahead for the magnates.
Instead of bringing the grand old game back to' u solid nnd sensible foun
dalrftn they believe peaco has brought about n condition of affairs which
Is Stlnrmlng. No doubt thero are many who will disagree, but tho plain
facta are that the men who nrc now buying major league franchises are
thrpjvlng their money nway nnd have but little chance of ever getting out of
bnijjball what they put Into It, much less receive nn Income as much as tho
lnvjytment of such n sum should bring.
Purchasers Pay Too Much for Frnnclilscs
JdiVlieii a man buys a ball club at tho present tlmo what docs he buy
but a lot of plnyers who nrc hero today and elsewhere In a few years, tho
SotMT will of tho old owners nnd n scrap of paper called n franchlso? In
cases where tho slto for tho ball park was Included In the salo tho buyers
have n chance; but in tho enso of the now owners of the Boston llruves they
have little or no chance to make enough to make tho Investment worth while.
Wc nro told that the notaries of the ball players will be gradually cut
Until tho men who draw the people to tho gate nnd make tho game posslblo
Will get nbout half what they nro receiving today. No doubt In many
Instances this will provo the case, but what can the magunto who has Just
invested n half million of dollars or moro In a frnnchlso do if live or six of
his best players band together nnd Insist on receiving a certain amount of
money before they sign?
The hot-hentlctl Individual will tell them to go to blazes, but he will bo
rewurded with a tnll-entl team, Tho men who aro paying such fabulous
sums for franchises huvo but ono chance to rcnllzo anything from their Invest
ment nnd that chanco Is a winning ball team. Without the players this Is
Impossible. Tho wonderful bucccss of Chnrlcs Webb Murphy turned base
ball upsldo down, nnd mngnatcs who havo tnll-cnd ball teams and those
buying Into tho game now nro gambling In hopes of developing a team llko
tho old Cubs, tho Mnckmcn or tho Giants, wliji havo had n monopoly on
pennants nnd world's scries receipts In tho last decade.
.
Must Hnve Winning Teams to Pay
There can be but ono pennant winner In each league, and unless tho
new owners of teams In tho mnjor leugucs can develop a pcnnnnt-wlnning
tenm within the course of flvo years they will bo far In tho hole. Llko tho
man who dabbles. with tho stock market, they always believe Hint their luck
will turn! but thero aro at least 10 clubs In tho major leagues which aro valued
lit twice their worth, and the owners will And It out when they try to sell
Ave years from now.
The bankers' committee In chargo of tho nffalrs of Charles Somers, owner
of tho Cleveland Club, has set a prlco of $560,000 on tho tail-end Indians; tho
St. Louis llrowiis sold for $525,000; Wecghmnn paid $500,000 for tho Cubs
without thogrounds; Percy Hnughton purchased the llraves for $570,000, while
11, 250,000 is asked for tho New York National League club by Its owners, who
arc negotiating with Harry Sinclair.
What will tho buyer of these franchises receive?
At Cleveland the new owners will rccctvo tho right to operate a team,
n poor bunch of bnll players and tho 111 will of the fans of tho Sixth City.
Tho Indians had no Federal or National League opposition, yet tho fans In
Cleveland havo turned to Independent ball. Baseball men say tho franchise
Is a bargnln at that price, but facts provo otherwise. Cleveland hns not mado
any money since 190S, being a steady loser, and thero Is nothing to assure
new owners that the team will not bo a second division aggregation for years
to come. Judging by what tho team has shown In tho last two years this
will almost surely bo the case.

Tho other American League magnates have promised to como to tho nld I result will be announced, but It Is usually
Sit tho new owners and strengthen tho team; but did they not also promlso
to aid Charles Somers? When It wns too late tho lcaguo voted to loan
Somers $100,000 to finance the team. Had the offer been mado when Somers
first became financially embarrassed he would still havo tho club.
Wccghman Received 25 Good Ball Players
Wceghman, In Chicago, received 25 players and the right to operate n
club. Ho already had the good will of the fans, and immediately put more
than half of the players on tho mnrkct. In other words, the new owner of
the Cubs paid $500,000 for a dozen players and the privilege of consolidating
the Whales and Cubs. Wceghman will not faro ns poorly as others who havo
just purchased franchises. If Tinker turns out tho team ho should. Chicago
Is a great ball town for a winner, nnd If Wceghman hns a pennant-winner
or two he may bo even with the game In 10 yenrs.
In buying the Hravcs, Percy Haughton's syndicate purchased a rattling
cood ball team, but one that Is not worth anywhere near $570,000. Tho new
owners will bo under terrific expense In renting tho wonderful new park,
owned by James Oaffney, and not included In tho sale. If Hnughton were to
sell all his players he could not possibly get moro thnn $200,000. That leaves
$370,000 as tho price of tho franchise, and who would pay that without tho
players?
It Is no sure thing the Braves will not go to pieces, ns other great teams
have. Its salary list Is enormous, tho expense of operating tho team still
creator, and without a pennant-winner Hnughton and his associates are
likely to bo years and years before they aro even with the game, Gaffney
bought his frnnchlso a couple of years ago for $187,000, so it is easy to see
that he has mado no mistake in selling,
Tail-end Team Brought $525,000
In St. Louis Phil Ball and Otto Stelfel purchased a tall-end team, which
has been a drug on the market, for $525,000. A winner In St. Louis will provo
a money-maker, and the consolidation of tho Feds and Browns should give
the now owners nn excellent team; but It will also be years beforo they aro
even under any condition.
Then wo consider the New York Giants, which Is generally recognized
as the most valuable franchise In the country. John T. Ilrush was the prin
cipal utockholder of the Giants since 1902, and It was thought thnt he was
Immensely wealthy, considering the fact that the Giants had always been
a top-notch team until last eeasc.i, had taken part in the world's series of
1905, 1911, 1912, 1913 and had won the National League pennant In 1904; but
when lie died It was learned that he was not half so rich as had been supposed.
The reports of the New York club shows that It earned nothing last year,
and that Its profits have been by far smaller than Is generally supposed since
1902. Therefore, why Is the franchise now worth a million and a quarter
with a team that finished In last place? These are Just a few of the Incidents
which prove that the grand old game has become top-heavy, and when any
business gets In that condition it Is due for a fall.
Murphy Started Rush into Baseball Business
Ah stated before, the marvelous luck of Charles Webb Murphy, who Is
said to have run a shoestring Into a million. Is responsible for the mad rush
Into baseball of moneyed men of other businesses. In the long history of
baseball Charles Murphy is the only man who ever owned a ball team who
retired from the sport a big winner until the last year, when the price of
franchises took a sudden jump.
Charley Comlskey la still In baseball, so is Barney Dreyfuss, Charley Ebbetts
and Mack and Shine. Perhaps all of them have become vealthy from the
game, although Mack declares he is broke and Ebbetts Is kmwn to have had
financial troubles two years ago. Of all the others who have owned teama
since the organization of the National League In 1876 not one has retired a
winner.
When Jim Hart sold the Cuba eleven years ago he made a little. Like
ethers who have sold franchises In a growing business, he sold for much more
than he paid; but while In the game his losses were such that there was not
much of a balance. Soden and Conant, the old owners of the famous Boston
team, cleared some money while In the game, but not what such a wonderful
eiKanizqtlon should have made, and It Is the same with others.

Saturday's games In the American
League clearly demonstrated tho one
sldednessof that organization. The three
loaders, Disston, Bethlehem nnd the
Hibernians, pained remarkably easy vic
tories over Boys' Club, Victor Talking
.Machine Company and the Hangers, re
spectively. Just w hy the American League
moguls' permit this situation, which has
existed for several ears, to remain Is a
question that puzzles soccer fans all over
tho city, but particularly those up Ken
sington nnd Krankford way, whero tho
majority of the games nre played.
For the first time since the start of tho
season there wcro three American league
matches played hern In ono dny, but tho
total number of the spectators at all three
games was less than hnlf the number that
saw tho Rlsston-Bethlehcm match on
Christmas Day. Unless this condition Is
remedied before the close of tho present
Season or previous to the stnrt of tho
championship race next fall, It would be
not at all unlikely If Bethlehem withdraws
from the American Icnguc, perhnps to
Join one of tho New York district organi
zations. This would react on tho local
soccer fans, who would thereby be robbed
of the opportunity of seeing tho country's
leading soccer eleven In action.
The position of tho three leaders In the
American Lcaguo Is unchanged. Disston
leads Bethlehem by two polntB nnd Beth
lehem leads the Hibernians by tho same
margin. Disston, with "Jllko" Owens nt
Inside right and gonl-kecpcr and Pcarce

tor Talking Machine, winning. S-0. Boys'
Club defended well against tho Bethlehem
attacks early In the game, but soon theso
attacks became Irreslsllblo nnd Bethlehem
tnllled five goals, holding Boys' Club
scoreless. Tho nnngcrs managed to scoro
a goal against tho Hibernians, their third
since the start of tho season, but tho
Hlbs, playing well within themselves,
scored live. Tho Bethlehem nnd Hibernian
elevens took no chances with the frozen
turf on Saturday, tho players of both
tenms not wishing to risk Injury In view
of next Saturday's National Cup game at
Bethlehem.
Feltonvlllo and Shamrock were sched
uled to meet laBt Saturday, with tho lead
In the United Leacue at stake. The
largest crowd of the season was on hand,
but nt the last minute the game had to
bo called off owing to the nonappear
ance of Iteferee Ontes, who was, selected
by the noforeos' Association to officiate.
True, the teams played a "friendly," but
with no league points at Issue there was
little action that was other than com
monplace. Thero was a general shake-up In the
United Lcaguo standings on Saturday.
Vlncomc, by gaining a wcll-enrncd vic
tory over Ascension nt 4-3, tops tho 10
teams with a total of 15 points. Bristol
got two points nt the expense of Wlssa
hlckon, and Is now tied for second place
with Shamrock. Hoch team has 14 points.
North Philadelphia had an excellent
chance to gain on Feltonvllle, but was
held to a draw by O'Hara and Is tied
with tho 1914-15 champions for fourth
place at 12 points.
Shamrock and O'Hnra are scheduled to

WHAT promises to bring about a tem
pest In tfie scholastic teapot occurred
yesterday, when Jlmmto Usilton, coach of
the central iiign DasKciuim ." ?,"" -,"
tho management of tho South Philadel
phia High cage team nnd tho Supervisory
Committee on Athletics for permitting a
former cooch of a league team to refereo
In the present race for the public high
school basketball championship.
Tho Central High conch said It was un
fair to his team or any other team to play
against a live whose former coach acted
as referee. Usilton made refcrenco to tho
recent Central-South Philadelphia game,
plnyd on tho letter's floor and rcferecd
by Mlko Saxe, at one time coach of the
downtowners. The game resulted In a
defeat for Central by the margin of ono
point. . , ,
The Crimson nnd Gold tutor arraigned
the South Philadelphia authorities for
suggesting and the supervisory committee
for permitting Saxe to referee, and was
outspoken in favoring nn official that In
tho past had no connection with any of
the league teams. He said that thla was
tho only means of eliminating future
criticism nnd unpleasantness.
Iteferee Saxo several years ago coached
tho downtown five nnd was Instrumental
In winning two championships. After ho
severed his official connection with the
team ho mado application to tho league
authorities to officiate the games.
"Tho Supervisory Committee," said
Coach Usilton, "was organized to advance
scholastic sports along tho right chan
nels, and In selecting a former conch to
handlo the games It has taken a decided
backward stop.
"While Central High does not think that
Saxe was deliberately .unfair, wo aro of
the opinion that on account of his former
coaching position nt South Philadelphia
and his lingering Interest In tho team an
other neutral and disinterested ofllclat
should have been selected."
It was pointed out that the homo team
has tho privilege to select the refereo
