(Only Santee scheduled1
lion empire, is Wag bitterly
criticized by Milwaukee fans for
having sent his pennant-hungry
club up to Toronto to play an ex-
hibition last Monday when, on the
following night, the Braves were
scheduled to open a three-game
series against St. Louts which
could have a vital bearing on the
National League race.
The angry charge U that the
club president imperiled the i
Braves’ flag chances in denying
them a badly needed rest. It is.
further, being strongly hinted
that he sent them Into Canada
with the thought that tt mlgli
not hurt his firm's chance# of
landing more construction prel-
ect* there.
The players themselves were re-
ported to have been openly critical
of the .junket, which figured to
cost them the better part of a
good night's steep at a time when
they were straining every nerve
to sustain a sensational winning
streak that had carried them from
a distant third into the thick of a
three-way battle with the New
York Giants and Brooklyn.
It did not especially assuage
Ihe.tthletes' feelings to know that
the proceeds of the game were go-
ing to charity. They would have
vastly-preferred that the Milwau-
kee club donate a sum to the
charity in question and permit
them, the players, to concentrate
on trying to win a world cham-
pionship for Milwaukee and some
fat World Series checks for them-
selves. „r
__ There is. as we said, nothing
newtsbeut ballplayers not liking
to skin themselves up In exhi-
bition games when they might
be enjoying a round of golf.
They always have objected to
the quaint custom. But It Is not
often that they, as well as their
fans, appear to have been at
justified in yelling murder a« in
this Instance.
The fact that thejprivea’ eight-
game streak was snapped the next
night by (he Cards does not neces-
sarily prove that the Toronto trip
| was a blunder. Possibly Manager
Charlie Grimm's boys were over-
due for a whacking. But if the
Braves should by a distressing co-
incidence lost the flag by a single
game Perini- will be a long time
hearing the last of it.
