M’GRAW Mitnaaer World Champion Giant*. t'MOKS have come; to nte from var ious sources that several o f lit y pitrhers have grievance* with the New York club. They are! not satisfied with the salaries their contracts for this year call for. Well right here X will «ay that no club has ever been more liberal i n the pay of out flayers than ths owners of the club, of which I am an official. As a general thing I do not take much stock in those reports. I did hear from an authentic source that one of the members of my pitching staff did announce publicly that he was dissatisfied with the terms of his contract and "wanted the world to know it." None of my pitchers have voiced any complaints to me in person. If they hold any hard feelings against the club, 1 feel sure that would not cause them to he derelict in their duties ns members of the team. I felt called on recently to suspend Pitcher Bill Ryan until he could show me that he was In good enough phy> sical condition to take his regulat Hoover Has Designed New Racing Shell By I’rfM.

I would he neglecting my duties if I did not take drastic methods, under such condi tions. Tf any of my players have any grievances with the business office, they have the right to go to head quarters and endeavor to straighten out matters satisfactorily. I do not deny them that privilege. 1 shall wish them lurk. I have no use for malcontents on my team. 1 desire all of my men to be perfectly satis fied. To be unified. Team-work Is impossible without such a condition. When they report to me. I am their manager anil as such I Insist on their getting Into pitching and playing form, ready and willing to he in the championship race. 1 expect all my players will try to so perfeet them selves physically and mentally to he fit at the time I set. If they are not, I shall take the same method as I have with Pitcher Ryan. I shall have no stalling or fooling hy any of my pitchers No pretense of any kind I shall insist that my method shall prevail and mine alone. My plnyors must accept those conditions. I do not anticipate any further necessity for suspending any more of my players. I think the action T took with Ryan will he a benefit to him and to the club and team, lie was the victim through his own fault entirely that he was made an eg ample of lie knows that as well as t do We are g> ing along now nicely, smoothly and wlnnlngly. It la for that reason that I consider this the proper time and place to lei my players and tho baseball public know just where my men and their man ager stands.

I have a team I am proud of They are wait-king Just as hard as I am to gain one object ami that is of course to win the National league pennant. That will afford us the op port unity of fighting for the third world’s championship next October. Three straight will be the goal, we shall ho after them.

Sherwood said that about seven are heiiiR reported each day. • should this continue, the “ones’’ for 1923 would reach nearly 3,000, or almost twice the number report ed for 1922. Whether the increase is due to better Rolf, shorter course or Rreater luck, the reimrts do not indicate.

Sweetser Show s Badly in Meet By 4. vv. ( HOWTMEK. (up> right, 1V23. Chicago, May 12— Stars of a sea son came and go in golf but Evans. Ouimet and Jones bid fair to go on another decade at least. J>ast winter this writer predicted that Jess Sweet ser would lose caste as a champion Just as Jesse Guilford, our preceding champions, did. At best Sweetser and Guilford are giant killers. Primed to go their best they can “take" a slipping champion, but year in and year out they fail to measure to the standards of the men who won their first titles while they Were still kids in knickerbockers. Sweetser shot badly in the British amateur classics. But Ouimet, still wearing a faint halo for his great achievement in besting Kay and \ ar don for the L'nlted States open. Just 10 years ago. showed all his old skill and courage. They can beat Evans and Ouimet a few times each year, but they are still the class of the world. Sweetser was unjustly criticised in the St. George cup competition be cause he tore up his card and failed to finish The r,iitish cracks did the same thing when they were hopelessly out of it Big Jess wits simply off his game. It is hardly likely he will come back and regain it sufficiently to re peat iiis win of last. year. Kirschbrauns Break Tie in Milk League The Kirschbrauns broke the tie for tirst place ^ in tha.

Well* has been making quite a reputation for himself in thi* coun try and surely deserves a crack at the cocky .Mickey. The Knglisli welter has heat the best hoys of his division and the only reason he hasn't fought Have Shade is that Have doesn’t want any of the punishment Wells dishes out. " If Walker and Wells do scrap. Omahans who witnessed the Walker HchlalfCr fight pick the champion to beat Wells. All fair an I well, but if Walker, ties the can on the Jolty Bull subject he's a real champion. Wells is about the best in his class right now and the champ will not have easy pickin'* when these two welters tangle. Baseball's Draft ”\Xar. □ HE baseball draft "war ' is liable to develop into a serious thing. The national pastime in leagues where the draft is in effect will get the worse blow. When the minors put their foot down on the draft and decided that the majors couldn't release players to minor teams and then recall them before the season was over, they in jurcd baseball to a certain extent. The American association is one hotly of has* ball teams that opposed tlie draft and voted against it. Now it is crying for players. The association dubs itped hall players. The same holds true in the Pacific Coast league. In previous years the majors have helped Association and Coast league teams by releasing players to these clubs. That was before the 1 draft went into effect. But not so this year. The majors have decided to “starve" the minors. The big league clubs release players, but release men to leagues not affected by the draft. I-ast week at the Association clubs, at the request of two of it's members —members who needed help from the big leagues and who got It In pre vious seasons—again voted on the draft question. The^ second vote , showed that the Association was against the draft. Now the Pacific roast league Is going to hold a meeting tomorrow to take another vote on the draft ques tion. i The majors have the money, the minors haven't. It's a oinch the ma jors will win out in time, but just how long the minors can boycott their big brothers is another ques tion. Not a Bad Idea TOWN in Okmulgee they have set aside 1100 as a reward for tie Wesiarn Association umpire who does the best work this season. Okmulgee realizes that good umpir ing is a mighty important and scarce article In baseball and they believe that the arbiter who gives worthy service in that respect is deserving of reward. It wouldn’t lie a had thing for the Western league to try- Good um pires in this league are scarce, but a little reward such as Okmulgee is citing might help things a little. \! least it wouldn't wreck the coffers of "Pa" Tcumey's circuit to try it. • • • Pill- Ruth on Pan THE other day we pounded out a little "aquib" on the following: "What's the matter with Babe' Kuth?" Here’s one of the re plies we got: "Scrambled Sports:'' Dear Sir; Read your question, what's the matter with Babe Ruth? Here s the answer: Do you remember when the New York Americans were tall-enders? IXi you know they could not get the crowd to attend? Baseball is a money making en terprise. Both clubs are interested in the financial result,- Jh»y had to do something and they did it. They "put 'em over'' right for Ruth and he did the rest. Put up Job. > „ He never could and never will hit home runs unless they want him to. Kesp. yours: 1 M. WRIGHT. Evidently this fasi doesn't think much of "Babe" Ruth, the Sultnn of Swat in 1921. Maybe he's right. At any rate, Ruth Is one of the biggest drawing cards in baaeboil today, re gantlet's of his home run hitting las* season and his batting thus- far tln’i yea r. It was partly because of Ruth that the Yankees liad to build a new stadium, one that -hss a seating ca pacity approximating *5,000. Open ing day in Xew York the Yanks turned thousands away. This was thrilling news to the baseball mu guls. Rut will this help baseball at large.’ YY mean the large erowds at both the New York major league parks. The Yanks, because of their large park, can pack thousands of human beings in tile grandstand for a single game. The. (Hants, when their park is filled, play to more than 53,000. Imagine the amount of money hotti New York clubs rake in each time their re rpectivc baseball lots ar<- crowded. Course, they don't fill their parks every day, but on Sundays and holi days they hale large crow? . As the matter stands now the tv . New Y’ork clubs, with their great wealth, can outbid any rival club n either league for the services of a much wanted ball player If that ,s possible today, what will be the situ ation several years from now. when the two clubs with their i tome use stands have added many addition.*' thousands to their strong boxes? The stars of the diamond. ^in I* as the YViliie Kmnius, .lack Rentleys and Jimmy O'ConindK will be at the complete disposal of the New York clubs. Why? Remuse they have the money. The rr-t of the field will be permitted to pun k se what the New York clubs turn down. Tiie tiianis have won league ai'^ world * championship* in recent years because they have the money haek of them to purchase stars. The'same holds true witli the Yan kees and will hold true until some thing is done. YYhat to do about it is something else.
