Seventy-seven Men . Try Out In Higher Com- pany. s, Seventy-seven niinor league players Were dratted by major league clubs at the annual meeting of the Natlonal Baseball Commission. Of this mim- ber forty-seven will enter the Amer- jcan League either during the re mainder of this season or the begin- ning of. the next, while the National League, through the fortune of the draw, obtined thixty men. Of the individual teams the St. Louis Amer- feans were by far the more fortun- ate, in as much as sixteen new faces will be seen on this team in the near future. The next to approach the St. Louis Antertcans in point of numbers is the Chicago National League Club, which secured seven mien by draft.

The pigskin Mevotee 1s engaged- ina contest-with death, and the grim. reaper always wins, For.many years the injured in football games numbered 200 to 500 amnually, while-fhe fatalities usually run from twenty to thirty. Imagine the popular indignation: if ter-or fif- teen boxers were killed each month In the rugby-gme, a8 played in-Eng- land and her colonies and in western America, fatalities and injuries are much less frequent, although it would seem that the anclent British pastime was in its Infancy almost as hazard- ous as the modern American game. Phillip Stubbs, in a book published in London in 1583, had this to say of football: For as concerning football play, I protest unto you it may rather be tealled a freendlie kinde of fight than Most Histon of Sports Style, Is a play or recreation; a bloody. and murthering practice, than a felowly sporte or pastime. For dooth not ey- ery one lye in waite for his adver- sarie, seeking to overthrow him and pick him on his nose, thougi: It,my be upon hard stones? In ditch or dale, in valley or hill, or what place soever it be, he careth not, sq he have him down. And he that can serve the most in this fashion, he s counted the only felow, and who but he? So by this means sometime thelr Tegs, some- time their armes, sometime one part thrust out of joint, sometime another, sometime the noses gush out with blood, sometime their eyes start out, and sometime hurt in one place, some- time in another. But whosoever scapeth away the best goeth not scot- free, but is either sore or wounded, cralsed and bruised, so as he dyeth of it or else scapeth very hardly. And no marvaile, for they have the sleight to meet one betwixt two, to dashe him against the harte with thelr elbowes, to hit him under the shut ribbes with their griped fisstes, and with thelr knees to cxtch him upon the hips, and to pick im on the neck, and hereof growoth malice, enmite, mur- ther, homicide and great effusion of blood, as experience dayly teacheth. other day by members of the New York Pawnbrokers chanic brings in ect of tools From Baltimore+Roth: by Wash- ington; Schmidt by Cleveland; Schawkey by St. Louls, Boston and New York Nationals and St. Louis, New York, Cleveland, Washington and Detroit Americans;-Derrick by St) Louis, Boston and New York Nation- Americans; Twombley by Philadel- phia Americans.
