1912 they playo®&independent ball un-
til they joined the Wyoming league,
and turned to Sunday base ball.
We never saw a game played on the
Sabbath until Billy Thomas gave us
an invitation to come to his games
in 1912 and -as he had a regular
“church interior” to his ball park, we
went along, visiting Lowertown, Min-
ers Mills, Avoca, Inkerman, (Sebasto-
pol) Durea, etc. that season and play-
ing week days, as well.
‘Tony Walsh became a leader for
bigger things and consulted us on a
four club league and we advised him
to get a city editor to act as presi-
«dent.
Tommy Brislin had been president
of the former league, so they put it up
to the Evening News at $15.00 per
week salary. East End, Nanticoke,
Luzerne and Larksville entered where
pools were made on games and as
high as $30,000 was bet on a single
game, Duryea, Sugar Notch, George-
town, Newtown, etc., were tried out in
the league without success—most of
the money being centred in Pittston,
Nanticoke, Wilkes-Barre, Plymouth
and the West Side.
‘With the success of the Wyoming
league grew the idea of the Boxing
Club at the Armory, the sporting edi-
tors receiving so much a fight, with
es With the death of Tony Walsh and
“the retiring of some base ball losers,
the fights took all of the newspaper
space. ~ The newer base ball men
spoiled a good bit of the sport by
throwing some of the games and
people did not feel safe in betting on
a lot of our prize fights, either.
In the political fight an unfair slap
was taken at one member of the fight
game we had dreamed—Morgan Bird
—but this boy is a mother’s boy in
-every sense of the word—big heart-
ed and with a bright, open sunny
+ face. Bird is a fine boy. But—.
The brutes in our sports are very
liberal in spreading their characte:
and spreading others names all over
their own newspapers and not really
having any sense or ability they do
not want anyone else to show their
talents, or be known. And every-
“thing must go their way just like the
cook’s temper in the house of Jiggs.
These fellows own the fight franchise
or else they don't but one thing, the
whole newspaper is interested in it.
"Who are the owners- Well, if noth-
“ing happens, some big guys own it; if
the fight club is to be sued for any- |
thing, why just the sporting editors
own it. Nobody ever wanted to sue a
base ball club; but many players
“found it a hard matter to get their
wages, while even a photographer
was out his time and films after tak-
ing their pictures. Money to them
was not to be given.
outh
Joe Walsh not agreeing to the money.
From the sporting editors chair to
the basement and atic goes this sense
of enequity— after the money— in
spite of state laws governing the use
and purpose of a newspaper. When
“Butch McDevitt, Jimmie Snee and a
few more first organized the Wyom-
ing léague, when only one of our pre-
sent newspaper owners was in the
game and not one of our present |®
sporting editors, the playing was safe
and fair.
Nothing can succeed today without
the politician and bootlegger and gam-
bler. The newspapers are only too
glad to go along with them; but it is
a hard matter to get an honest sport
to go along with them, so it seems
that we have enjoyed the real sport
as well as having gone through years
with crooks, never
until we get new publishers.
Your boy may be your pride and
joy and a sunshine for the merchant,
but first it is, what can a sporting edi-
tor steal from it and divide with the
publisher. That comes first.
If it is a business owned and con-
trolled by the newspaper, it is against
the State law, for that is not the pur-
pose of a newspaper; they must pay
their editors out of the revenue from
ads in the newspapers; there is a law
concerning what is an ad and what is
not an ad; and the State protects the
workers in the publishing plant—for
if an ad is paid for, everybody can
get paid for their work on the paper;
there is ng law which allows any edi-
tor to take or demand graft for right-
ful space given to news, be it sports,
social or general topics.
Editors have no right to keep any-
one from publishing news. They may
be sued by advertisers, if they don’t
run news.
It has been the object of many
newspapers to commercialize the boy;
but it is a matter of “stealing the
thunder” for themselves; they lack
originality and initiative movements,
but have the cuteness of a fox to
move ahead when there is a “hunt.”
Of course, everybody is dumb, so why
not be wise, is the way they take it.
Through the personal handling of
sports your son is not always proud
of himself and does not know, some-
times, how badly he has been cheat-
ed; it does not bring the happiness to
his parents and his merchant must
give way to another merchant, who is
joyful and ignorant and smiles upon
the boy who had not earned nor de-
served the “steal” which he may think
nevertheless, belongs to him.
Many a boy has been praised and
over-rated by our newspapers, who
never made good, and could not, in ten
years, while the other fellow has his
glory taken away from him at the
of a bootlegger or some cursed fool
with a false paradise.
Our sporting editors are friends of
too many big guys; they make them-
get anywhere with their bluffi—oue
Pr of excusing their newspaper
to have it again
