UP unlit 1858 batters could use any kind of bat they wanted. Both for batting and in self defense. Because baseball always has continued that laughing bac teria of irritation that hypes up men to dispute decisions and defy gov ernments. Right from lirst jump of game, that umpire i| nest ion became so aggravated that umpires became fugitives on sigliB Peace has its casualty cases as well ns war. And bravest men in nation were umpires. Not our first umpire. But second one, because first umpire didn't know what was going to happen to him. First umpire’s name was Zaclia riali lioken. He worked in one of Trenton's pottery kilns. While vis iting his uncle, Eph Turner, in Troy, around 183!*, Zach bad his astigma tism startled by seeing 22 hoodlums going through motions never seen before on land or sea. They were playing baseball for two years and Zach didn't know it. ignorance had been chewing him up irom all angles while he pottered around in Trenton. He watched those loafers running, batting and perspiring. Now, every hinge on Zach's spinal collection of verte brae could have been used for door knobs on Pilgrim meeting bouses. His whole nature was indigo with reform. He didn't know wliat it was all about. But it was Thursday, only three days from Sunday either way. Backward or forward. These hoys seemed to be enjoying themselves, so something must be wrong. Zach reached forward on his nose for his spectacles. Placing them back near his eyes, Zach watched for infringements. Finally, one big argument horned into between two little quarrels and they asked Zach to decide. One of Troy’s juvenile delinquents had torn off one of those Dutch cor ners that eliminate bases as regis tering stations. They wanted Zach to declare him out. Now, Zarb’s gosling was cooked before it was ever hatched. No matter which way he decided his feet were in for some marathon business. Gophers Take Lead. St. Paul.

At a meeting of Pueblo business men Tuesday morning, the Pueblo Baseball association was organized, which is a 30,000 corporation. The business men of the city can vassed the town yesterday and se cured tlie necessary funds to pur chase the orphan franchise and run the club for the season. Pueblo is now on the'market for players and a manager. AVhether "Chick'' Mattick, present owner of the Packer club, wilt be retained as manager of the team is not known. President Teamey lias instructed he Puelilo Baseball association to have a representative at tile league inccing in Kansas City next Mon day, at which time Puehlo will be voted into the circuit. SIOUX CITY fans have started kicking up a fuss about los ing the club, all o£ which Is a funny thing. Sioux City liad a club and a pret ty good one.

President A1 Tearney already has expressed himself on the draft. The loop boss is against the majors in their fight to force the draft on the minors. Just what attitude the club own ers will take is not known. There are some team owners who side with the majors and there are some who side with Tearney. ■lack Holland of the Oklahoma City Indians is for the draft, and it might be said right here, that Hel j land is a pretty big rog in the | Western league. Barney Burch, owner of the Buf faloes, is quiet. Barney is willing 1 to sit tight until the moguls gath er 'round the ol’ stove at Kansas City. Bust season Barney favored the draft, so we recall It, but at the present he refuses to make a state ment. The major leagues, furnish the Western clulm plenty of material, there is no getting around that. If the Western loop goes on record against the draft, then the loop owners can't expect any help from their big brothers. I.a*t season, when the Western league race was getting warm, Tul sa got Dave Danforth from the Browns. Of course, Danforth was suspended from major league ball for doctoring the pill, but look what a big help ho was to Tulsa during the race. His hurling, together with that of George Boehler, prac tically won the pennant for the Oil ers. This year Danforth goes back to the Browns. Now, supposing tile Western league was against the draft last year. Would the Browns have sent Danforth to Tulsa? They would not. The Danfortli deal wasn't a rase of draft, hut at that It's on the same principle. Whatever happens down in Kan sos City Monday should be inter esting. Women Bowlers Vie.
