PLAYERS GUT GRASS
ST. LOUIS, Oct. flu—«Because he
believes it unfair to make the wives
and children of players suffer for their
errors Branch Rickey. the new mana-
ger of the Browns, le11 do away with
the practice of lining his men next
season. instead he “will make tilem do
extra work. In morning batting prac-
tice an offender will be forced to run
to first base every time he hits the
ball. and if his offence is a grave one
he will have to invest several hours
daily helping tlle groundkeeper, cut-
ting the grass and rolling tile base
lines. This, Rickey declares, may re-
suit in the Browns having one of the
best ball parks in the country in a
short time and the only sufferer for the
players' folly will be the player him-
self.

FOSTER WILL FIX KQNEY DEAL.
Huggins Instructed by Mcflraw to
Clo» it With Secretary.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 30.--lt is up to sec-
,ratary John B. Foster of the Giants to
close the deal by which First Baseman
Ed Konetchy goes to the New Yorkers.
[Manager Miller Huggins of the Cardi-
nals said yesterday that McGraw had
instructed him to fix it up with Foster
while he. McGraw, is away on the
world tour.
."l have not closed up the final de-
tails as yet,” said Huggins, “but ex-
pect to at the National League meet-
ing in New York the second Tuesday
in December, and also to do extensive
other trading then. l had a talk with
McGrnw in Cincinnati the other day.
His absence. from ’ the, country' will not
prevent me from dealing with New
York. Secretary Footer has full au»
thority to make any trade that. may
please the New York club. I will deal
with/Foster at the December meeting
as McGraw instructs me to."
After delivering himself of his opin-
ions on several subjects Huggins left
for Michigan, where he will spend a“
short time hunting with Manager Mike
Kelley. of the lndianapolis club. Af-
ter their sojourn in the Michigan
woods, 'Hugglns and Kelley will re.
turn to civilization November 12 at Co-
lumbus. where they will attend the an-
nual meeting of minor league clubs.
President Britten of the Cardinals and
Scout Bob Connery also will attend the
Columbus confab. They will assist
Huggins in disposing of several re-
cruits who have proved unfit for big
league service.

Side bets for big fignts seem to be
almost a thing of the past. The other
day while talking fight an old sporting
authority was lamenting the fact that
the old fashioned contest for side bets
_was dying out, and he regretted the
same, claiming that the side bet had
much to do with putting the men more
on tellir metal. For a great many
years no boxing bout of any import-
ance was considered genuine unless
each of the boys put up a side bet, ellh~
or his own money or that of an enthu-
elastic admirer. The system originated
in the old days of bare knuckle fight-'
lng, when gate money was unknown
and when a fighter had no earthly
chance of becoming a champion unless
he could find a. wealthy patron to put
up money for him. in those days there
was a great deal more betting on the
result of boxing bouts than there is
at the present time any many of the
sporting Corinthian—as they were
called in the old days—made and lost
vast fortunes by means of wagers on
fighters. When glove fighting super-
seded the knuckle game. the practice
of side bets was continued and it has
obtained to a less extent down to the
present year of grace. Of late side
bets have not been so much to the
fore. mainly owing to the big gates at
most of the chief centers of boxing.
but occasionally we have a battle be-
tween two boys of quite moderate abil-
ity battling for a side wager out of
all proportion to their worth. Quite
recently Johnny Hughes and Bill Bey-
non. the present bantam champion in
England, fought 20 rounds at a. pri-
vate house before about 50 wealthy
sports. The side wager was $2.50!)
each. the money being put up by sup-
porters of the boys. The winner got
a share of the money he won for his
patron'and the boys' divided a. sum
collected for them from ihefew privi-
leged spectators. Of course all of the
advertised side bet contests are not
genuine affairs, but those that take
place at the London NationalKSporting
club are. Every contender for a title
must put up a side bet Mindful—~31.-
000 in the case of heavyweights—«lad
holders ‘of championship: r/bclts must
put up a'simllnr amount. The Wells-
Carpeutier battle will be for a side bet
in addition to the purse. The Scotch
bantam champion, Alec latterly, has.
issued a defiance to all boys at 118‘
pounds in which he declares himself
willing to box anyone at the weight
for a purse and a side wager, the win-
ner to take all. This notion of win-
ner take all is not a good one and
moreover is very rarely acted upon.
Packey McFarland wanted to box
Freddy Welsh in 1910 on this basis.
but the club declined the proposal.
They do not care how the purse is
split. it can be 90 per cent. to the
winner and 10 per cent. to the loser
if the boys agree. but the club man~
agemont insists upon a lonet's end.
There was supposed to be a. his side
wager between Johnson and Jeffrlea,
but nothing was ever heard of it af-
terwards. John 14. Sullivan and
James J. Corbett fought at New (Jr-
leans for the really last big aide bet.
the amount being 020.090 involved.
and it was real. too. Bat Nelson and
Joe Cans fought for a good sized side
hot. but few lightweight battles since
then have been for a side wager.
There is always lots of talk about side
bets. etc. but seldom is any real coin
put up. especially by the fighters.
