4.,, . THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 18, 1912. 3-S Gee, Jeff is Lucky; He Hasn't Any Money in the Banl Drawn for The Bee by "Bud" Fisher VsHVYN TNS WORLD On06RTNO PliTRKY JiDO YOU CARE 7 TWIS. LIT Ult . "J AM,Y aT t WW YOU CNG ttORN HITMN I S W THAT T?? V f 1 v : vuus to j w1TN Yow COULD S exptAjN v HMt some J i loimrfi Judgments T" T SEEMS most unfortunate for the I best interests of bate ball that I .President Lynch of . hte . National ' league la called on to Impose ho many penalties upon Chicago play era that provoke charges of prejudice ,and unfairness from Manager Chance. I President Murphy,, the Chicago fans, sport writers and players, themselves. Chance; who is not loose-tongued,' openly I accused Lynch in a personal letter of 'seeking to aid New York by suspending jEvers for 3uch time as would keep him 'out of most of the Cub-Giants series In Gotham. Chance says Umpire Flnneran shoved Evers In the face with his flat hand and that the little second baseman only passed his hand in front of Fin jneran's face In return. For this President .Lynch suspended Evers for five days and (inflicted no penalty on the umpire, whom, ,he had previously said, he meant to dls I miss entirely as soon as Al Orth was signed. Instead, however. Umpire Bush was let out and here again Chance Inter poses a charge that is serious. ; He says la' few days before Bush's release he lhard Manager McGraw of New York 'say to Bush, "I'll get your job." There .must be something to these charges, especially since they come from Chance jartd not from Murphy, and are but a (part of other similar accusations. For 'the good of the game, it Is hoped the grpund for them, If there Is amy, will be removed. Lynch having been an umpire himself and a good one may lean a jllttle toward the umps as between them lid players, but It does seem a little strange that he should find It obligatory to lay off one of the Cubs1 pivotal men' iwhen the two great, rjyals,; Giants and Cubs, ome together in; NW York To ijMurphy's charge that Roger Bresnahan conspired with McGraw to help the jGiants land another pennant, as a part ofthelr deal for a world-tour this winter, ;we cannot give much credence. In the first place, Mr. Cubby Charles Murphy ' io ikrrtwn' for his over-much protesting. In' the next place, immediately upon the heels of this wild remonstrance,' Bres nahan's Cardinals sailed into the Giants and knocked the everlasting wind out of ;thera in two games.. In the third place, we do not believe Roger Bresnahan thinks so little of his place In organized . base ball as to do such a stupid thing ag the urbane president of the Cubs' has accused him of doing. But all this' furore lis a bad thing for the profession. ' The Cubs have shown, by winning seventeen' out of twenty games, to date on this trip abroad, while the Giants were losing 'at home, that they are able to meet their old-time enemy on fair ground, .if not a 'little more so. It begins to look as if the wind might blow the flag west again. We are sorry to record It, of course, but our Omaha athletes did not do what we' expected them to do In Denver on this laat visit. Yet, of course, we have time to win the pennant, but time alone 'won't do it. With Denver going back to jits lofty , crags for a stretch of twenty some odd games at home it looketh fairly Igqod for Denver, especially since It is still on1 top. But, what boots It?. We can't all win pennants, and, besides, we may win this one. In the walk If the boys keep on ? walking the way they have done nvst of th season. The Sporting News says that President Hedges of the Browns Is now taking orders from Manager Stoval! and working jlike a beaver to help Stoval! land a team for 1913. It is a good thing Hedges landed a manager ' from whom he could and would take orders. It is orders he has 'needed for a long time. Stovall has proved In -Cleveland "and St. Louis that he has 'the qualifications of a manager and if f given enough latitude and cash he will likely restore St. Louis to the' map. Jim Kane has been the terror of the pitchers In pinches. Hagerman of Lincoln walked him twice during the week rather than give him a chance to hit with the bases more than half filled. Which shows Hagerman to be a Wise; boy. James has knocked too many balls over the fence in the last tew games to take chances at such crucial times. Bill Schlpke' played a trick on Scanlon. Scanlon fell sick and let Bill sub for him and Bill subbed so well that Scanlon is now doing the subbing.- At that the youngster is ready for a steady Job in the in or outfield any day they need him. A team Is a good one tint can keep Jimmy Scanlona for utility men. Joe Bills did the old Joe Dolan act in that Lincoln game) when, with the score 1 to 1, with the bases filled and two. outs and two strikes on the batter, Bills sent the ball over the fence, The only differ ence between that and Dolan's was that Bills chose the right field fence, while the older Joe preferred the left St Joseph seems to have hit the tobog gan in earnest The team Is a good one and has made a gqod fight, but hung. to the top rail longer than we thought .lt . would. ' , ' Little Harry Hicks continues to be the Desperate Desmond 'of the league. . v Does that offer of Comlskey's for Chief Johnson still hold good? , Ducky Holmes and Cadman on the same team. Thin- - . Boston Red Sox Leader ' ' lb - ifc: S " ) V , .'. 'V VI C wtArtJblsa Jake Stahl, manager and first baseman of the Boston Red Sox, the team most likely to- win the pennant in the Amer ican .league this year. ; 8thl' waa born In Elkhart, Ind on April 13, 1880, which makes him about the youngest of the big league leaders. He was a great foot ball player -at the University of Illinois under the famous coach and scout George Huff. He has played at Boston,' Washington and New York, ; managing .the Senators In. 1898, during 'Which '.time! they made' the sensa tional spurt that brought him the title of the. "Born Leader.". Stahl did not make the Red Sox; he had no part in assembling or even in welding together the machine aa It now stands. . He is essentially the driver of a perfected team, but he must be given all credit., for the skillful manner In which he has performed hie duty. The ball players now . under Btahl's control were picked up by the men who preceded him. The team was there, and It Jems reasonable to presume that It would have threatened to win the Amer ican league pennant with any manager of ordinary Judgment at the helm, and yet Jake Stahl Is the man who Is turn ing the threat Into a certainty and to Jake Stahl munt be given the credit.

Owing to the fact that Manager Mullen of the Townsends thought that the play so neatly described by the .Hollys as a by-play was tinged with ivory he de cided to relinquish the management when his troupe Is billed for Fort Omaha. He got Into several arguments over the aforementioned play which broke up the Holly-Townsend game In the seventh round. The officers at Fort Omaha didn't take a fancy to Mullen's loquacious Junk and they Informed him that they could get along very nicely without his team. On receipt of this Information Mullen hot-footed it to Fort Omaha and after an controversy with the officials it was agreed that the Townsend team could could play under a different man ager, so hereafter n reality Mullen will be the leader, but he won't act In that capacity when his team plays at Fort Omaha.
