Hoosier Wrote WN Classic's Rules

By EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor
_+ IN THE early days of the World Series the New York Giants were financed by Indianapolis capital . . . They became “Hoosier-owned" when John T.' Brush,
®
Indianapolis baseball and businessman, acquired” con-
trolling interest and became club president. This was sometime before the American League was organized to give the old National circuit a big league rival . . . After buying the Giants, Brush dropped his Indianapolis team and took several local stars to New
York.
In Indianapolis, in addition to owning the baseball club, he was proprietor of the old and famous When clothing store, one of the largest clothing stores in the Midwest before the turn of the century.
Brush was one of the giants of early-day big league baseball
. a
He drew up the original “modern” World Series rules and
only a few changes have been made down through the years.
r » a
A WORLD SERIES on a best-of-nine basis was played in 1903 between the Boston Americans and the Pittsburgh Nationals, but it was staged under rules that made no hit with the players, who only received two
week's extra pay and a bonus.
. . . The two club owners
pocketed the big money, splitting the receipts, half and
half in both cities. A controversey arose betwaen the two leagues in 1904 and no series was played . . . Boston repeated in the American that year and the Giants, who won in _the National, turned down Boston's challenge . President John T. Brush and Manager John McGraw said they “weren't having any” of the Bostonese, In the winter of 1904-1905, however, Brush suggested the two leagues play an ‘“‘author{zed” annual fall classic but under rules different than the regulations used in 1803, when all arrangements were made by the two club owners. The Brush rules called for a four-out-of-seven annual classic between the two big league pennant winners, the Series to be under the supervision of a
. National Commission, which
. gate receipts,
. original
was to arrange the schedule, appoint the umpires, official scorers and business representatives.
” - ” BOTH major circuits ap"proved the Brush rules, which were also written into the National Baseball Agreement. , « . Then in 1805, Brus Giants, led by John McGraw, annexed the National League , pennant and were opposed by ‘the Philadelphia Athletics in “author-
the t® so-called ized” ‘World Series. -.. John T. Brush was a shrewd planner when he . thought out the rules 4
years ago . . . since most of his suggestions still are in effect.
= » . A. FEW Series rules changes were brought about by changing conditions, such as greater radio and teleIn John T. Brush’'s
vision. h the winning
rules, ‘players were to receive 75 per
“eert of the players’ purse and
* §he losing players 25 per cent.
i .’. This was later changed to
60 to 40. : Also under the Brush stipu-
lations, the two World Series:
clubs split everything that remained after the National Commission pocketed 10 per cent of the entire gate receipts, and the players 60 per cent of the first
four games.
» » ” THE PLAYERS “cut” re‘mains at 60 per cent, but the ‘Series players now are re--quired to give a share of this ‘sum to other first division : players... Also, the two club owners must divide half of ‘the “club owners’ share” with ‘the other seven clubs in each ‘eircuit . . . Added, of course, is the “commissioner’s share.”
= ~ ” EVEN AFTER the death of John T. Brush, the Hoosier and Indianapolis connection with the New York Giants continued _as Harry Hempstead, IndianApolis; —John--T.s--son~-in-law, moved into the club presidency ©. . Later, the Brush heirs soli the Giants and the Hoosier link was broken.
” ” ~ EVERY NEW World Series ‘eduses fans to dust off their ‘ggemories and recall high‘Dghts of fall classics of the ast . . . For instance, how the King of Swat, Babe Ruth, struck terror in the ranks of the Cardinals in the 1928 Kpries hs he paced the Yan-

kees to a four-game sweep « +« The big fellow swung his devastating bat to the tune of ten hits, including four
three home runs,
* ” » NEVER a shrinking violet and always quick with the quip, Dizzy Dean set the clubhouse in an uproar after he pitched the Cardinals to victory over the Tigers in the first game of
the 1934 World Series . . . Main batting factor ®in the Cards’ 8-3 triumph, was Joe (Ducky-
Wucky) Medwick, who heltéd three singles and a home run . +. Old Diz himself got one hit . . . After the game, Dean pounded Medwick on the back and hollered only as Diz can holler, “Well. Ducky, you and I were the whole show in the slugging department today with five hits between us!”
td 5 4 WHEN World Series pitching feats are discussed, the name of the immortal Christy (Big Six) Matthewson goes to the head of the class. . . . The immortal “fadeaway’” artist threw three shutouts as the New York Giants turned back the Philadelphia Athletics; four games to one, in the 1905 championship round. ~ » ~ LAST THURSDAY, a local school teacher was pulling so hard for the Giants in the World Series opener that she had the custodian relay game highlights to her from the basement to her second floor room. . With his ear bent to a tuned down radio, the custodian caught the flash on Monte Irvin's theft of home. ... When a.small boy from the teacher's room showed up the custodian told him to tell the teacher that Irvin stole home. . . . But by the time the boy returned upstairs he got sort of confused and whispered to teacher that Irvin stble FIRST BASE. ” » ” Monte Irvin was this year's National League runs-batted-in leader with 121. , . . Gus Zernial of the Athletics led the American League with 129. ... 4 All-time high in the National, Hack Wilson, Chicago Cubs, 190 in 1930. . . . All-timie high in the American, Lou Gehrig, Yankees, 184, in 1931. . . . Indianapolis’ Chuck Klein batted in 170 - markers for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980. . » » - WHO WERE the original Hitless Wonders? +4 That “tag” originated in 1906, .n the All-Chicago World Series. when the weak-hitting White Sox bowled over the hard-hitting Cubs, four games to two . . . There have been many ‘“hit-
less wonders” teams down |
through the years but nothing to equal the White Sox of
45 years ago. s » »
SID GILMAN, Cincinatti University foothall coach, had a new experience recently, one for the book (his book) . «+ After Cincinnati had defeated Tulsa, 47-35, in a wild contest, Gilman stopped squirming on the bench, sighed and said, “ I never thought I'd have a game where we scored 47 points and wondered if we'd win.” 2 8 BEFORE the kickoff at De-
troit Friday night, Bettor A took Detroit (with 20 points) over, Notre Dame, thinking
that the Irish gridders would be slowed down playing night football for the first time . . , But after Johnny Petitbon ghosted his way to the three quick "touchdowns and ND led at the first quarter, 20 to 0,
| Bettor A sighed and said he
could be saved only if Coach Leahy would throw in the St, Mary's girls to replace the entire varsity. ’
= ” ” JF YOU THINK life is giv Ing you a rough time, think of Paul Bryant, University of Kentucky football coach . ., Loser of but one game last year as well as victorious over
mighty Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, the Kaintucks already have dropped three
out of four.
