They are satisfied that the baseball business, which came back with the proverbial bang, is back to stay, and that prosperity is due to return. t . . SEEK SIOUITD ARTISTS ' Furthermore, a majority of the big league clubs are short on pros pective stSrS. particularly young pitchers and lnfielders. .Hence the . scouts are looking them, over with an unusually keen eye. The other reason has to do with the break between the majors and minors. :"WTien"thev joint meeting of .. the big and little fellows was held In New York last January, the , minors made it known that they wanted to . sever the . apron string that held them tied to Old Maw Major. They wanted freedom from the draft and a number of other thintrs. .. They turned Democratic, Bolshevistic, or whatever you please and after hearing- their ' pleas the' majors Shook, their negglns wisely and agreed that the national. agree ment, promulgated in '.1903. should be broken, IjfDEFEXDEIfCE DECLARED Nothing ! came.of the agreement reached ; at t the": January meeting. The majors, who 'Were said to have acquleeced ; to the plan- for killing- ' r the time honored agreement, simply eat back and twiddled their thumbs. . The minors waited for some sort of written acknowledgment from the big boys, but it failed to appear." So the minors, headed by Al- Tear , - ney, met in Chlcajjo a short time Golf and Tennis Play on Sundays ' Halted in Mass. Worcester, Mess Jsly S (L W.

LUNTE IS HAILED AS A "FIND" Young Shortstop f icked Up by Cleveland Displays Class in : First " Games. c GLEVKLANrX July 26. (L K. S.) Digging UP lnfielders who can htep into the shoes of injured regulars and fill the bill -is -no. every-day occurrence, but Cleveland has found a youngster who can deliver, Harry Lunte, who stepped into Ray Chapman's 1 Shoes ' when the veteran Cleveland .shortstop was injured, is the birdie.--.-? Lunte was : ee&ured by the Indians from Mobile, 'and from the first day he .stepped into Chapman's shoes he delivered. .v . Tris Speaker is enthusiastic over the playing of the young recruit. HITS BALL WELL "He looks tike the find of the season," said Speaker recently, r "He is a pood hitter, and his timely hitting has helped us win many a rams. He Is also a rood fielder and . is bound to improve with experience. ; The war; and a broken ankle kept Lunte out of the limelight until this season. Just when he looked to be ready for a trial in the select set he broke his ankle, and his name was kept out of major league box scores.' Theh along- came the perfectly g-ood war, and he was called to the colors. -But now it appears his troubles - are over and, although there is little chanco for him to; play a short for the Indians when Ray Chapman Is on , the job, he has had the satisfaction of winning his epUra with the Porest City manager. GOOD OSES SCAltCE ' CJood shortstops come up mighty In frequently, t twxens of young inf telders are looked over by the ' major league managers esch year, and while many are called from the bushes, few are chosen. -Within the last three or four years, however, there have been "several shortf telders uncovered who are prov itttr to be i the goods. - Roger Hbrnsby Is the topnotfcher of this aggregation. Another is Charley Hollochef of the Cubs, and : still another .is Larry ttopf of Cincinnati. Caton of the Pirates Is another playr who has won his spurs. ago and declared their independ- enfce. . - Today t the"naionaI agreemSnt Is Borap of paper. .War hafen t been i leclafeL or.- anything nk that,- but it is a certainty that the majors and minors are watching ekch other with .weather , eyes.

But here : and there we note indications of nn t settled times in baseball. , Pact is, the minors are ' not ex ' actly a t- unit, because cerjain mag . hates, or leagues,-which had no part in the January meeting in New York have hesitated to acept the plan for taking things Into their own hands.

On his first appearance In a field ef 17 he acted like a dangerous horse and was drawn after the first heat, while at Kalamazoo he raced true to form, and won in 2 :03, , while QOldle Todd, the favorite, could not show Within five seconds of the time that she made at North Randall. The Burnett horse Is a brother to Hal Mapes, 2 :0?. He was bred by E. T. Bedford, Who also gave Hamburg Belle, 2 :01. to the turf,- both of. them getting their first work en his track at Green Farms, Conn, 1 Walter Cox tells ft clever story Il lustrating the unlooked for places that, racing material is apt to come from. A few years ago he received a letter from someone in the South telling; him of a clever pacing gelding that was being trained by a young man in Kentucky. He was unable to find the town where the young man lived, on the map, but as the horse looked . good to him on paper- he gave Frank Mohah&h some money and told htm to go and find it and at the same time to purchase the horse if he- was as represented. Tn due time Monahan returned with the horse, which was eventually sold to Prani Whitcomb of Springfield, Mass., and made a record of 2:07 tinder the name of B. over the half-mile track at Brockton. Mess. - Also While Monahan was at the Kentucky town he learned that the same young man had two more pacers, but as they were not on his order Slip, he passed them by. They were Verlie Patchen. 2:02, ahd Lillian T 2:024. , The 4-yearo!d eldlntr Echo iDirect with Which Lyman Brusie Won In 2:6714 at Kalama'soo has been a wonder colt since he madS his dfebtit lh lilt. , That season at Hartford ; ho grabbed a heat in z:i3 from Peter June, and tsoers was forced to step the next mile tr, 2tW to Stall him Off lh the stretch.

Echo Direct was bred by A. W. Hastings of Boston, and is by Echo Todd out of the dam of Director Todd, 2 :Q7, . The Indiana trainer, G. Palin, is prov ing a very clever man with pacers.: -He acjtiird the record breaking habit over the half-mile tracks with possibility and gradually worked on to the larger ovals, where he Is . -now making .: the stop watches hum with Verlie Patchen and Eva Abbe. The former cut . the half mile track record tot pacing mares to 2:04 when she won at Youngstown and forced Single O out In 2:024 at Cleve land. He also won at Cleveland with Eva Abbe in 2:04 VI ami made Direct C Burnett pace In 2 :03K to keep in front of her at Kalamasoo, She is six years old, by The Abbe out .of Eva Hal by Direct Hal, and Is very apt to prove one of the high lights In the pacing world this year. .
