And how. has this come aboutt Because baseball Is soundly organ ized. It Is a vast business enterprise, run on business principles. Business men have made It -worth .the whOe of able, brainy men to devote their lives to studying and developing the art or~j~ throwing a ball that curves, of hitting curving balls'With a bat and of catch lng thrown and batted balls.' These able, brainy men. thus 'develop the sci entific side of the. jrame'-tb*t almost every full blouded'iAmertcan citizen has learned to ^beOe^e Is the greatest sport medium on earth. The magic spell, the growing fascination of base ball, Is explainable as arising from the an Important element of chance, the opportunities for spectacular daring, 1 ts competltrro-poeBlbUltJo*, fy posslbU- ^tles- in the development of special skill and the ever pressing need of violent action and the exercise of un erring quick wit. Actual science In the exposition of a game comp'dsmg these picturesque elements must necessarily attract the support of a nation tem peramentally excitable, like the Amer ican people. And keen business men have not been slow to take advantage of this. The Baseball Trust . No one but an \Insider\ has any clear Idea of tho practically flawless business system controlling baseball. The \baseball Jroet\ 1s stronger In its field > than the Standard OH company or the beef trust or tho tobacco com bine. The baseball magnates control ling the National league, the American league, the national commission (the supreme professional baseball govern ing body) and the scores of minor pro fessional leagues exercise absolute dominion over a business field where the profits amount to millions of dol- ik 7 Overall of' Ohk** \liatbe^n \^J>PJ&r^[&&L:^L± ^.«^rtil\ <eW thecreani detb.

A man who is nearly as Important t o his team as Its best pitcher, as shown by his work .this year. Is Hans Wag ner, the famous shortstop of the Pitts burg team. Wagner la the greatest an around player In the world. His batting is not sensational; it Is phenom enal. Experts consider a man who makes one hit In every game he plays to be a n unnsuaUy good batsman. To Wagner the making of three hits In one contest is an event of only or dinary importance. In two games played against Now York in July Wag ner made seven consecutive nits, three of- them being two baggers* constitut ing a new and novel world's -records Ho scored five of the hits In ooe game in five times a t bat, making three con secutive hits off the delivery' of the great Mathewson. ' Strangely -enough, Wagner hats better against Mathew son than against many pitchers.readily acknowledged to be vastly inferior In abllty. like \Three Finger\- Brown, Wagner was a worker In a cool' mine In his earlier days. Tyrus Cobb of Detroit and Captain Lajole of Cleveland are -.two of the widely talked of American 'league play- era. Cobb, a comparatively new big league player, Is a mighty batsman, leading his league. Lajote, once a hack driver In Worcester, Mass., now\! earns $10,000 a\ year \playing second base and running the Cleveland Blues that recently forged to the top i n the pennant race. More baseball teams have made mon key -this, season than In any other, an undeniable evidence of the progress of tbe game. The attendance throughout the country has broken records. Club statisticians, agree that at a National or American, league game ZfiOO people must pay admissions each day^to meet the club expenses. When' paid attend ance runs below this number the] club loses money. In the American league the. pennant I race, while not so contwnoMly. close as the National, has afforded plenty 1 , of .excitement '.Detroit; St.- I^ou^Clev^ land,-'and Chicago^bave tfeet the'rpace moat'ot.the year.' \'. • '. \v* \^toJoand DAYTON TO HONOR WRIGHTS. Horn Town of Aeroplane Inventors Planning Big C«labration. A movement bos been started in Dayton, 0.,'to extend to Orvllle and Wilbur 'Wright a fitting testimonial as to the feeling of pride entertained for them by 'their fellow townsmen. A letter was recently received by the committee in charge of. tho affair from Orvflle Wright In part he says: \I am unabl6 to express pay gratitude for the honor given my brother and my self in the generous expression of ad miration and Affection. I would'not wish so to Interfere with plana%as £o wound the feeling of our fellow towns men In their desire to do us honor, yet I know, that my brother as wen as myself would prefer to return quietly and live among you as wo have In the past I think ..-that any definite ar rangements should -be deferred, until my brother, who is now in France, can be -consulted, as I could not con sent to receive any honor, hi which, he would not be ati, equal partldpanfc\ . At tbe first meeting of the reception committee announcement was made that .efforts, are being made tb have the Wright brothers give an .exhibi tion flight In Dayton upon their return home and that the invitation was sent,] with assurance of success. It has been suggested .that a suit-, able expression of regard for the serv ices of the Inventors ,be the securing of the first airship of the \Wrights and placing it In the Dayton\ museum. An other plan Is the erection of a suita ble statue or monument in. Cooper park, in the central part of\ Dayton, and dedicating it to tha two brothers. A magnificent loving cup- will be pre, sented to the aerial navigators, and it Is certain that Dayton peoplo will wit ness a great public demonstration id honor of the world's most successful aerial navigators.
