E. Merkle teaches the art of n A LONG TIME BACK FOR DISHONEST BALL Recalling the Louisville Scan- dal of a Generation Ago. Since the National League was founded in 1876 it has had to deal with byt one case of proven dis- honesty among its players. That was the famous Louisville scandal of 1877, and, in view of the talk which | the recent protest of Manager Me- | Graw against the listless exhibition by the Giants has occasioned, may well bear retelling. The Louisville club of that year came east for its last trip of the year looking like a sure winner of the] perhiant. By winning six "of the twelve games to be played the club could make sure of the flag. The first series, one of six games, was to be played against the Hartford team, a second division organized at that time, played on -the - old Mutual grounds in Brooklyn. Louisville looked like an easy win- ner of the majority, if not all, of the games. The night before the first contest certain poolrooms' in Ho- boken, N.J., lead heavy odds that the Hartford team would win. Louis. ville lost the game the next after- noon through the errors of Craver, Hall and Nichols. Again the pool- rooms lead heavy odds on Hartford, and the second game was lost on the errors of Devlin, Hall and Nichols. The bad work was kept up during the 'whole trip, and the Louisville club returned home with a record of ten games lost and two won, the Boston club winning' the pennant by a margin of three games. When the players reached Louis- ville they found rumors of crooked work had preceeded them. Devlin called upon President Chase of the club to find out how matters stood. Chase made Devlin believe that he knew far more than he did and gave him -until that night to make a full confession. Hall who had seen Devlin go into Chase's office, went to see the President. hase saw his oppor- tunity, and by working one man against the other obtained a full con- fession from each. The entire team was summoned before the Louisville club directors and each player was asked to give a 'written order on the ; Western Tele- graph Union Telegraph Company for duplicates of all messages sent out by him during. the season. Capt. Craver was the only player to re- fuse, so. he was summarily expelled Examination of the duplicate tele- grams led tq the later expulsion of Devlin, Nichols and Hall. Not one of these men was ever permitted to take part in organized baseball there- after, though Devlin, until the day fo his death, pleaded at every National League meeting for reinstatement. There was no general organization of baseball in those days, and while Devlin was an outlaw he found em- ployment for a brief period with what was probably the first straight- forward professional team in Canada, the Standards of Hamilton.

Estimates Cheerfully Given. three games from 'Detroit, virtually pitching the Pirdtes to world's cham- pionship. Frank Isbell made four two-base hits and scored three runs in the world's series game of Oct. 13th, 1906, between the White Sox and the Cubs. The White Sox hold the record for errors in a world's series game. They made six in one game against the Cubs in 1906, but won, 8 to 6. Who will be the hero this year? Unless some one player wins two games with home run smashes, Del Gainor will go down in history as the hero of the 1916 series. His little smash in the fourteenth in- nings Monday when acting as pinch hitter should give all world's series hero aspirants something to shoot at during the balance of the series. Frank Baker, formerly with the Athletes, but now with the Yankees, gained the title of "home-run Baker" when he hit two home runs in the world's series of 1911: His batting average for the series for .375. Catcher Gowdy of the Boston Braves piled up the remarkable bat- ing average of .545 in the series of 1914, which the Braves won from the Athletics, His hitting was the big- gest factor in Boston's victory. Rudolph and James pitching for Boston in the 1914 world's series, each won two games from the Phila- delphia Athletics. Ty Cobb's batting average in the world s series of 1907 was only 200: in the series of 1908 he had an aver- age of.368. In the series of 1909 against Pittsburg his average was only .231. h Possible International Delay. wine Lrops New York states t of the International soc- cer game between Canada and the States will probably be put back a week or so.
