Racine Journal News (Newspaper) - June 4, 1917, Racine, WisconsinThe Racine journal yews. Monday after Fox. June 4. 1917.in the Glare of the spotlight a i Nunu magnates Wisheu to Wash in Tox to kill proposed Bill in fear it will throttle game. Says its easy to be a Tough boy if fighter is brought up right Ekht in a entries including three mercers reach Speedway Heads of third anneal Alto Derby. The proposition As contained in the War Hill to tax admissions to All baseball games is giving the club owners some concern not that they Are sorry to Bee the added amount tacked on to those who desire to attend the games but for fear that it will further shrink the patronage which so far this season has been far below Normal says the Philadelphia record. When the subject was first broached the magnates feared that there was some Chance of the receipts being taxed and the executives of the big leagues made haste to Washington to assure the congressional committee that it would kill the National game. But when it was passed up to the Public they breathed somewhat easier a1 thou he they Are by no Means sure that the baseball populace will stand for the added expense. That the Public would have to pay in the end. No matter what the provisions of the proposed Bill goes without saying. Every move that has been made in recent years to increase club receipts has been at the expense of baseball fans. The time of 25 and 50-cent Ball is but a memory for with the increasing demands of the players expensive Parks and costly Upkeep prices have been raised the cheap seats have been almost legislated out of existence and now it is further planned to tax a Long suffering Public for there has been no thought of the clubs bearing the added expense. The season has been too lean for anything like that. Ordinarily it is the first month or two of the championship race that club owners rely for their Best business. Once the clubs get straightened out the attendance from one cause or another generally shrinks. It May be that a Good Many baseball patrons Are away during the hot months or that teams that Are not in the race that look to have a poor Chance of finishing in the first division lose their drawing Power at Home As Well As abroad. But this year the weather has been so bad for the game that postponements Are mounting to Large proportions so that when the time comes to play them off nothing less than a double header will Appeal to the fans and single games will suffer in consequence. These the magnates can plan for and take chances but a tax whether on the club or Patron is something so entirely new that it has the owners guessing. The entry list for Chicago s third annual Auto Derby to be staged at the Maywood Speedway june in. Now numbers Twenty nine cars. Eight newcomers were registered yesterday for the 250-mile feature de luxe of the military motor and athletic fete the most notable addition in the Derby Field being the Mercer team composed of three cars driven by Pete Henderson Joe Thomas and Walter Haines.

At the age of fifteen Yoakum tired of the hard work he had on a hotel Job in Hartford. Conn., and he hopped a Rattler for the West where he hoped to find enough to eat and not so much employment.

George Pennington who was with the brow is last Spring was handed the Job of keeping the major leagues flown to a minor level. It turned out a Tough Job As the sox smote him in the second inning for five hits Good for that Many runs. Tri the collection wore doubles by Loidold Gandil and Lynn. A couple of errors also horned in. Risberg was on first in Tho sixth when Lynn hoisted the Pill into the bleachers and that made it two More runs.

Chicago june 2.�?Nemo Leibold the White sox a Small outfielder has been playing the Best Ball of his career this season and mostly because he Felt grateful to Clarence Rowland. Rowland held on to Leibold when fans were knocking the midget and now Little Nemo is coming through with the class that Rowland believed he had. It seems probable that manager Rowland of the White sox comes in Tor More criticism than any other big league manager and rumours of his dismissal Are frequent. But he makes the White sox play a pretty fair class of Ball and a big reason for it is Bis popularity with his men. Lie does not favor the brow beating methods of getting the most out of players and prefers to be Friendly with them. When White sox fans have panned a player they believed to be in a slump Howland has encouraged him All the More and brought him around to his Best Pace. This sort of treatment has made a great difference in the work of Little Nemo Leibold who is now playing a Beautiful game in the Field for the White sox in addition to giving the most excellent service As a Lead off Man.
