T111. (_unll1lalnl.0f commercialism be
Ihrullglll. against professional bast-

“ants Dhtdcnds Of Course.
The owners of professional base-
ball teams are admittedly in the
game for the purpose of making
dividends on their lnrge investments.
The price of admission charged
during the season and for World's
Series games seems satisfactory to
the public when the immense crowds
attending the game is considered.
Complaints of commercialism in
protesslonaibnscball under such con-
ditions seem groundless.
Some voice the belief that teams
are purposely kept well-balanced in
playing strength.
The dilllculty experienced in buy-
ing a player from one team to
strengthen another is proof of the
error of such statements.
Rare instances of "pressure" be-
ing brought to bear on players to
induce them to "throw" a game
have created a false impression rs-
gui'dlng integrity of the ball player
in general.
Professional Gamblers.
The only source of such pressure
is from professional gamblers out-
‘IltTO the game.
, This is the only commercialism in
baseball which needs be feared by
anyone.
It behooves the insgnaies to per-
sist in the good start they have made
to rid the game of this menace. '
Every means possible should be
titled to exclude from the grand stand
those supposed fans who root only
for the team on which they have
plated their bcls.‘ ' '
There is a high sense of honor
among professional baseball players.
As a class they respect their profes-
sion and arc the first to resent the
assertion that games are “fixed."
The player who would sell out
for e. consideration is as rare in his
profession as the dishonest member
in any business calling.
Baseball kept free from the gum.

Helpful Hints
Golfing Stars
JOYCE “'ETKERED—RCN UP
SHOTS IN THE- “1ND.
The run- up shot may be included
in the list of short approaches, but
the mid- iron or jlggrr is the club
“lib which it should be played. A
good deal of discrimination must
be exercised in selecting the occa-
sion on which it may be brought into
use. Except in cases of grim ne-
ccssily. the deciding factor will be
ills state of the ground over which
the ball must roll before it reaches
the smooth surface of the green. Til—
land turf in England is most un-
suited to the shot on account of its
quality and consistency. and the
player will be well advised to adopt
in preference the “half— and-half"
shot with a mashie.
Upon seaside courses the question
is a. different one altogether. The
bound to continue.

compact texture of the turf permits
of an even run of the bell: so much
so that., provided there are no
hazprds blocking the line. the run-
up ‘smay odvisedly take the place of
the pitch. not only because of the
more suitable nature of the turf. but
becnuse the ball is more likely to
escape the balloting of the wind and
