1-1 WMr!?mwt -Uy.rt '' J DEAL OF-YEARJN RUSSIAN LEAGUE WAS WHEN DUMA GOT WAIVERS ON THE CZA ST BIO B & THE TEMPERAMENTAL BALL PLAYER ; HAS VANISHED; IN HIS PLACE WE FIND A REGULAR BUSINESS MAN iU IThe Eccentric Knight of the Horsehide Is No Longer Tolerated in This Age of Efficiency. . Raymond and Waddell c A r iimujs upon a time, when baseball was Just ns popular, but moro of a sport tluin , r it Is now, wo had with us many eccentric performers, who kopt in tlio lime- if light both on and oft tho field. Hall playing to them seemed to bo of secondary t Importance, and was used only aa a mentis to obtain monoy enough to carry out weir eccentricities after tho work wn iTono, Wo used to chortlo with glee when e read of sonio escapade of Rubo Waddell or Bugs Raymond, and wonder how they could stay out lato at night and still bo in shapo to play such a. wonderful tame. Theso men wcro very popular, for they nhowcd a sldo of their characters which, for somo reason, mado a hit. Players of this caliber bIho hud their tiou bles on tho ball field, engaging In fist fights, riding tho umpires nnd getting chased to the clubhouse, much to tho amusement of every ono except tho manager of tho team. Those were the days of temperamental ball players. What has becomo of tho ccentrlc performers who possessed an untamable temperament? Looking over the Hat, wo have llelnlo Zimmerman, Johnny livers, Ray Caldwell and Larry Mc Lean as the actlvo members, with Sherwood Magec and Hal Chose In tho reformed Class. But theso men can bo counted on to uppear from ono day to tho other, as they put on their emotional acts only when clad In baseball uniforms. It looks as if the temperamental stuff has departed never to return. It will not como back, as the owners, and managers will not tolerato It. Baseball today Is n business proposition with tho players and they havo becomo llrst-class business men, sell ing their wares for as much as thoy can got. They aro quieter, and aro no moro like the hero of notion than black is liko whlto. ' Tho Phillies and Athletics aro pood examples of modern athletes. The players are hard-working, serious-minded young men, who do not carouse around tho town wearing a Casey-at-the-bat attltudo to attract attention nnd admiration. Nor do they stop on each street corner to form qunrtets and sing barber-shop melodies. They do not linger In the corner saloon to got their glass of beer "becatiso they need a llttlotonlc," and remain thero tho remainder of tho evening, telling their nd mtrers tho proper way to train nnd still bo a "good fellow." There is not ono Who even can bo classed with tho beor-drlnking, tobacco-chewing, strutting hero of the past. Instead, they look liko students or hard-working bank clerks on a holiday. ALU John Barleycorn cut shor tho carter of many a great ball player . v in the days gone by, but ho docs not flguro In this generation. Yt A-T six W Tho players perpetrate most of tholr dissipation at tho soda fountain. Raymond Rode With the Engineer N WHEN work is on every man Is on tho job nnd Managers Jloran and Mack do not havo to send out searching parties for any of their stars. A man who acted Uke'ltubo Waddell wouldn't last a week. When tho famous Reuben was in his prime ho would appear for practlco when ho felt like It, and sometimes he even would forget to show up at a game. It was n common thing for tho manager to look over his players and ask "Whero's Waddell?" Then when ho was told that he either was tending bar in a corner saloon or out on a llshlng trip, some moro fray hairs would appear in his head while futllo efforts were being made to locate ths missing star. Thon thero was Bugs Raymond. Bugs also was tho champion ccentrlc performor with a penchant for missing a ball gnmo occasionally. A hlory fan told of ono of Raymond's escapades which is woith repeating. Tho Giants wero playing hero and decided to tnko a morning train for New Tork, where they wcro to play In tho afternoon. According to the plans, tho players were to arrive In tho big city in tlmo to don their uniforms and stnrt tho battle. There was no tlmo to spare, and when Muggsy McGraw looked through tho train and saw no sign of Raymond ho began to rave. It was Bugs' turn to " pitch and Muggsy did not like to chango his plans. "I'm through with that guy from now on," ho raved. "This is tho last chanco he'll get with my ball club. Enough is enough, and ho has gone the limit. I'll ask waivers on him tonight." When the train pulled Into tho station McGraw was still laving. Ho was Stuttering to himself as ho walked out, and then gavo a gasp of tuirprlsu when ho bumped against Raymond, who was waiting with outstretched hand. Said McGraw: , "Where havo you been and how did you get here? I didn't sco you on tho ' ewln. IVhnfr ,1lil vmt flr iiho nn fllrHhlnV" "No, I didn't use an airship," replied Bugi. "I rode over on tho samo train ns jrou. You see, the engineer is a' friend of mlno und I rode with him." THERE was only ono player who surpassed "Bugs" Raymond as a mana ger baiter. "Rubo" Waddell went him one better, and our own Connie Mack was tho only man who over got results from tho eccentric hurler. The Cafe Athlete Is Not Tolerated THE owners of ball clubs would not tolerato anything like that In this age of efficiency. Helnio Zlmmermnn gets away with his temperamental stuff because he has a stiff 'batting averago to back It up. Johnny Evers also Is emotlonnl, but he never does anything unless the game Is quite close and the umplro's version 'of a play does not agree with hK John does considerable "crabbing" and is chased to tho clubhouso evory onco in a while, but ho Is out thero fighting nil of tho tlmo and his flare-ups can bo excused. Sherwood Magce has been tamed by Stalllngs and Hal Chase acted liko a regular person in Cincinnati last year. Larry McLean is back again after a vacation, but ho will not last long unless ho gets down to busi ness and cuts out his aheged comedy. Baseball is a business and tho owner looks at tho results that aro tabulated in the box score. Ho does not exactly frown ou y temperament on mo Dan ueiu, dui puis nis iooi aown on u wnen mo players per form like cafo athletes. Tho theatrical sldo of tho great national gamo Is respon lble for Its success, but It must help tho playing of his club. Schaeffer and Alt rock wero great drawing cards for tho Washington club, nnd Sawyer alto is good. These men, through their clownish actions on the coaching lines, won many games for Clark Griffith, as they got tho opposing players watching them nnd made them forget tho game. A team must have a llttlo "pep" to draw tho fans, for tho beet ball club in tho world will prove a flivver If tho members havo colorless per sonalities. This was proved in 1914 when tho Athletics, with that great team, drew llttlo or nothing at tho gato and Connlo Mack was forced to wreck his effi cient machine to keep from starving to death. Tho modern baseball public gets food baseball, but it is played by a bunch of buslnoss men. They aro out to win Karnes and also to hold their Jobs. Somo day tho gamo will bo absolutely devoid of temperament, but let's hope that day is far off. Tho fan likes to seo a fight; that is, a scrappy gamo whero tho players aro snarling at each other and making things interesting. We wonder If tho public admires tho efficiency system or tho lden days when tho umpire had to bo escorted from tho grounds nnd the visiting lub was showered with confetti furnished by tho bricklayers union? TWO moro peppery players do not exist than Bill KUIefer nnd Eddie Burns, for they are the life of tho club. If any troublo starts, Burns and Klllefer are tho originators, but it Is pure fun and enjoyed by every 'one. Bancroft is another who keeps things moving, and Gavvy Cravat h Is a busy person whllo tho gamo is gojng on. But when they don their street clothes theso players are like real business men. 'Exit "Wahoo Sam," a Slugger of Parts OLD. Father Time is never Influenced by tho prominence of an nthlcto. A boxer or a baseball star may bask for a whllo In tho focus of public approval, but with tho passage of a few years the attention nnd applauso aro shifted to a new comer, whllo tho former leader Is started on tho trip which ends In obscurity. The rookies and youngsters of a few years ago aro the veterans or toflay, and tho old-timers are being speedily eliminated from tho big lcaguo ranks. Lajolc, Bender, Brown, Mathewson nnd Wnllace havo lately passed from active work nfter x receiving the plaudits of tho fans for many years. Now the name of "Wnhoo Snm" Crawford is scratched from the payroll of tho Detroit Tigers and one of tho best cloutera of the gamo thereby steps aside after a record of eighteen years in the major leagues. Crawford was called tho "model ball player" by Hughlo Jennings and tho praise was merited, for "Wahoo" ably assisted in bringing baseball honors to Detroit and" did his part in keeping the tenm In half a dozen tight races. Tho Tiger slugger's best year was In 1011, when he hit for .378. During his years of play In the big leagues Crawford clubbed beyond tho .300 mark elnv,n im .showing that will make him stand out as one of the best batsmen of all time. ' 1 Ty Cobb owes a largo pari oi nis reputation as a tally-maker to tho co-on tion of Crawford. During tho years that Sam followed the southern..,. .T" rl."tete his smashing drives would often enable.

' n row Uf " . . k jf bAJ : WljTH the passing of (he old guard from actlvo ranks the youngsters will have plenty of good! records to shoot at. Old Father Tlmo does not tarry. Every year brings a gallery of now faces, and consequently the youngsters must work hard and fast if they expect to equal tho deeds of the men who are passing from the big tent.

WfiLL, thoo Jasper boys wcie presented with one aitlstlc trimming oor at tho Camden Atmnry on .Saturday by the Utey stoek champlnuo. It was one of tho ort lacings over handed any team, and tho fcoro of 3B-17 clearly shows how completely tho Churchmen outplayed tho JcwcIh. Theto was i shift In Jasper's 'llnc-up, 1 till D.irk taking the. place of Hartley Scritan, v,h -iih nbcnt. duo to the fait that he was to bo matrkd on Sunday. Tho Jewels never perfuimed like the samo club, and their short, sharp, criss cios passing and genet nl teamwork never was In eUdenco at any time. On the other hand, tho Ojcys appatently never made a. mistake, nnd the team woikcd like a wcll ollcd pleco of machinery. Tho Jewels failed to tally a (folltnry field goal in the llr.st half, but managed to get one, their lone two-pointer of tho engage ment by Jack Fox, on a pass from Ftled niiin when ten minutes of the .second period had gone. On tho other hand, tho .goals of tho winner came at tegular Intenals, Itaymond Cross banging In two of his fa mous backward shot, fhc rnlnutes after play started. My way of comparison there was nonp. Uvery man mi (Sieystock played sterling ball, whllo on the Jasper all ap peared off at once. Theto was absolutely nothing to It The game w.-ih marred by spectators who urtcd In a moHt unsportsmanlike manner at cither end of the cage They attempted to Interfere with Hough and Kogarty shoot lug foul. but as they did not shake tho cago Ilcferco Hilly Kelly could not Inter fere. And tight hero let It bq said that Kelly continued his wonderful work, biased opinion of the Jasper and tSreystock rooters to the contrary notwithstanding. Some per sons don't know a good olIlcl.il when they seo one. Toward tho end of tho battle a nilx-up occurred which 'brought flo or six players together, nnd ete ouler was icstoted sev eral oiricers had euteted the cago. Big Crowd Present There was tin even larger crowd present than at tho first game Tho receipts of tho Initial clash weto about $1050, and tho second somewhat larger. Assuming ex penses of $:!50 It leaves $R00, or $400 to each club. Tho management of the Greys Is taking $100 out of tho money received from every contest and tlio players Rharo tho rest. It is spilt In seven parts, six playcts and assistant manager John Gam ble, Major Ilalley not taking 'any of tho revenue. With beven to cut $300, it will be seen they aro averaging about $10 per game. Tho Jaspers havo a second team as largo or tho fltst and It has not been de cided how they will divide the iccelpts. What "They" Thought of It Following aro a few of tho comments expressed by those who attended: Joseph L. Itailey, manager of the Greys: I am vety much pleased with the success of the team, and, ns I icmarked on Wednes day, still havo faith in Its ability to win. Am exceedingly sorry that anything of a troublesome nature took place, but It la Im possible to hold tho management for what occurred among tho players. Joo Fogatty, captain Orcys: Wo will be In there plugging to gtt the next one. John Gamble, assistant manager Greys: Don't prefer to say anything at this time. Bill Kennedy, manager of Jaspor: Wo havo no alibis, but will go after Wednes day's game. Jack Fox, captain JowcIh: We were out played and that Is all there was to It. Doctor Kmpey, former Camden owner: Good game, little rough. Jasper missed Sedran. John Itlcmer, old Camden player of twenty-five yeais ago Dark Is no Sedran and the work of Jasper showed It Hough off; Kogarty on. Jasper looked Ilko a differ ent team from first game. George Cartw right, noted Intercollegiate authority Nothing but Greys. Jasper mado mistake by playing man and not ball. A wonderful defensive club, but poor offen sive. Harry Adams, former De Nerl magnate Kntlrely too rough. Irvlno Thompson, former Slnto I.eaguo player Good game, but rough. Sedran was missed. Ally JlcWIIUams, Grey's star guard Glad wo won. Itaymond Cross, leading scorer of the, urcyH uui 10 kcc ine next one. Harry Hough, of Jasper Hotter team w on. Charllo McGregor, of Jasper Wo lost and there was no crooked basket. Marty Krledman, ot Jasper PInyed poor ball ; best team won. Doctor Helm, owner Camden team Greystock played all around Jasper; that's all there was to it. Jimmy Brown, leading Ecorer of East ern League Llttlo rough, and thero was no need of It. J. ("Bud") Robertson, mascot of old Cam den National "Clectlves" Good fast game. Sugarman played some game, going In and getting the ball. Keystone Brotherhood Champs Keystone captured the championship of tho Brotherhood League, defeating Grey stock Ileseryes on Friday, 2G-24, and 2G-1B on .Saturday. It Is said tho Greys will protest Saturday's game, but Chairman Emery nnd Manager Miller, of Keystone, aro In absolute ignorance as to tho naturo of the protest. Manager Miller said: "So far as I can see, tho Greys havo not a leg to stand on. Their center man was chased out of the gamo In the second half by Iteferco Tteynolds nfter being warned a number of times for remarks ho was making. When ho was put out of the game tho entire Greystock five left the floor, but teturned several minutes later with him. The officials warned him If ho touched tho ball tho game would be forfeited, and at that ho left and Moore took his place. Up until this time Greystock had but two field goals." Manager Miller Is of tho opinion that the Hancock team of tho American League should play his champions. It would bo Impossible to rent a neutral hall and meet all tho other expenses, but Keystone Is willing 'to pay Hancock the same big guar antee which St. Itltn refused to give Han cock to play at Cooper Battalion Hall If tho contest is played at Keystone Hnll. with Scheffer, Kelley or Baetzel as official. Gcrmantown T. M. C. A. won Ite greatest victory of tho season by knocking Itook wood off on Saturday night. 30.18. The regular Itookwood line-up of Hill, Murphy, J, Smith, Deal nnd Whlto played.
