' BY CHRISTY MATHEWSOS. The Giants" Famous Pitcher. KEW YORK, July 21. (Special.) There Is no man In the big leagues who thinks more of baseball and what base ball has done for him than John J. Evers. In a minute of wrath, when Rigler pulled a raw one on the Boston club, John Is supposed to have broken loose recently with a crack: about the umpires having been instructed to make the National League race tight John feels badly to think anyone would believe he would reflect on the game which has made him and which he has done his share to make. "A fellow is liable to say anything when he is out there and sore," de clared Evers afterwards. "But, take it from me, they couldn't fix the race to be close no matter how hard they tried, and they haven't tried, of course. The rotten baseball which has been played this season has resulted In this neck-and-neck going." Matty Breaks Up Crooked Work. John Evers is right, as usual, and we might as well get around and over these reflections on baseball for good and all now. They couldn't fix this race, or any other baseball race, and any sensible man will recognize that fact. I have been in baseball a long time and have seen only on crooked : incident in it. That ; occurred in a minor league up in Massa- sy j chuseits when I ? X; was trying to pitch for the Taunton J club years ago. If Carulj lualhewson. 1 made good it meant thac a, vet eran pitcher would lose his job, and the veteran was a. boon companion of the catcher. The catcher did not like to lose the twirler's society and take a chance on mine, so he was tipping the opposing batsmen off to what 1 was pitching them. He was helping me not to make good. It did not take me long to discover what was coming off and I began to cross the catcher and the batsmen. If anything wrong were ever attempted in baseball it would not take long for the public to discover what was going on, for the puouc is quicker ot eye than, a ma- Kician is or nana when it comes to detecting crooked work about sports. The charges against baseball this season have come from folks with an ax to grind. There-have been quite a few rumors of one thing and anothef, from the White Sox' stealing siernals with a spyglass to both races being fixed to make them close and increase interest, and all these, to my mind, can be traced to a single source. If the public is to listen to any of these things it should consider- the source, wnicn is not worth considering. Any eensible man will agree that you can't tnrow a league race. "Sure Thine Men" Not Setting Do you ever play the baseball games?" I once asked a gambler 1 know when I read in the papers that some money was being bet on the con tests daily. I was curious to find out what he thought about it. iNot for me," he replied. "The game s too hard to beat. There is no advance information out. Give me something softer for mine." That is what a gambler thinks of the pickings in baseball, and his Judgment should be good on this particular sub ject. In his mind, the public has too much of a chance, the percentage is too strong against him. There is an old adage, "Don't bet on anything that can talk." This is supposed to mean mat a man is sale li ne wagers on a horse. But not for me. The Jockeys -can talk and so can the trainers and they do. "Fixed" Games Impossible. Considerable talk resulted from the fact that the world's series of 1912 be tween the Boston Red Sox and the Giants went to eight games with one a tie. It was hinted by "croakers" that this was "fixed" to get the money, but if these men had stopped to analyze the situation and if they carried any thing between their collar-bands and their hatbands In the intelligence zone they would have crashed into some in surmountable arguments. In the first place, practically every man on th two clubs would have had to have been let in and would have demanded piece of the increased profits. With these cut so many ways little would have been left for the club owners, Unless the players were taken care o the series would not be prolonged, be- - cause we shared in only the first four : games. The sooner it was over after -that the better we were satisfied, es : pecially the winners, for the victorious jteam takes the bigger share of th prize dough. The sooner it is over the ; sooner they are sure of the big end of ' the money. ; The fact that the world's series of J1913 was settled in five games and-the 'one of 1914 in four sinks this "fixing jit" theory deeper than a German sub ! marine "does an .ngiisn snip. Paste this in your Panama. Baseball is honest. You can't get a player in th big leagues or the Federal to say otherwise. I don't believe. Wnen, much to "Johnny" Evers' surprise", he found : his outbreak against Rigler published in the newspapers, he was the first to ! rush into print with a statement that i it was impossible to fix the race.

"On the day that Seattle and Spokane would come knocking at the door of the Pacific Coast Lcacue it would surely be opened to them." said Judge V. W. McCredie, in Portland's Coast League ball park, one day last week. "With Salt Lake in the Coast League circuit, Spokane Is the most logical ac companying northern city with Seattle in case of expansion in 191S." the Judge continued. "In the problem of schedule making we pair cities off together as. for example, San Franclaco and Los Angeles on the road together. Vernon and Oakland, Salt Lake and Portland. Spokane and Salt Lake would be logi cal mates for schedule purposes, Port land going with Seattle." (hsise Only Possible. The Portland mogul did not permit himself to be drawn into any definite promulgation of the plans of the Coast League towards Northern territorial movements. lie carefully omitted any explanation of how it might be pos sible for Spokane and Seattle, now be longing to the Northwestern League, which is still in operation under the protection of organized baseball, to "come knocking" at the Coast League door, but he Inferred that the and other Coast magnates had a notion such an evolution In baseball on the Pacific slope might, in the light of recent straightened financial circumstance, come about. . "The I'aciftc Coast League would not take Just Seattle alone and drop off one of its present clubs." continued the Judge. "as some have suggested. Every franchise in the Coast League at present is worth money and could not be arbitrarily taken away. No, we would have to add two cities to keep the circuit even. McCredie Favors Spokane. "Personally, I would favor Spokane. Portland folks want other northern cities in with them to help swing the balance of power in our league more evenly between northern and southern ends of th circuit- I do not know what the California directors would do. They might favor Sacramento. I imagine that everything would depend upon Spokane's showing, and that if your business men came to the front strongly you would carry the day, since it is a matter of record that Sacra mento had cne chance in the Coast League an.l failed. "The success of the Coast League club in Salt Lake should be an in spiration to your folks. If Salt Lake can. in one year, make itself the second best drawing city on the circuit, why can't Spokane? "Your weather is a critical matter. Can you play over a stretch of 28 weeks? Tou might have to open and close at home. We have only three ball parks in California, you know, and our weather won't stand for 28 weeks. "Portland wants to be In the same league with Seattle and Spokane.

A certain reputable man relates the following incident, with considerable indignation: Not long ago when playing "over a certain Philadelphia course he sliced his tee shot, and thinktng that it had gone out of bounds. he tentatively drove another ball. When he had de scended from the elevated teeing ground to the fairway, far below, his caddie informed him that his first ball was lying Just within bounds. The player was greatly surprised. but played the ball which his caddie had indicated, but. hooking it badly, he was quite t-ure it had gone into a water hazard. Aftr a short search his diligent caddie informed him thnt he had round a ball lying ln the rough beyond the hazard. After holing out the player became more and more mystified. As he thought of his uncanny good fortune and as his mind was possessed of a conviction, he hazarded this remark to the caddie: "Boy. you dropped a ball for me back there, didn't you?" "Sure I did." replied the boy without hesitation. "But," was tis indignant exclama tion, "what right have you to do a thing like that?" The caddie regarded his employer In amazement, and then said, with some heat: "What's biting you? Sure 1 dropped another ball, but It's nothing to me. and I done it for your sake. I always do that for the man I caddies for reg ular. He expects me to." Records Indicate Little Hope for Northwest Track Team.
