umpires.,
"Aa to the umpiring In the National
tongue this year well. It'a something
Awful." renin rka John. "At leant four
of these fclK-ws holding job In the Na
tional league to.lny. are totally unfit for
the .'ohg. They ought to be fired."
John (ell in that he firmly resolved
during the winter to ilt heckling w,th
tho mnp're. 'and to act Ilk a nh'e, re
tired, Christian gentleman on the hall
field ana off.
"Hut lihw can a fellow keep au h a
resolve , Hh such umpiring?" queries
John. "I meant to treat 'em rlrht and
tx'l kick, but soino of the ruling of these
fellow would force a legless man to
kk. Pay. It something wful."
'If John, and and lrk at heart, became
of the "tr.laerabla" umpiring In hla

ftii. way:.
- Urlfla ! Poeir).

Oh, Lorrty. how I tried.

A number of weeks ngo Oeorge came

Some folk. 'especially those who be

Chummy last year or In tha other rears,
and that -John wasn't murmuring any

John-Mctlrfw , and Will- Klra ' were
among the-gang that toured tha world

In poker 'battles. Bill Klem soon dem

NEW YORK. Aug. 22. Hyron Bancroft
Johnson, president of th American
league, ha been a strong advocate of
clean base ball ever since the days when
he wrote pieces for a Cincinnati news
paper. Johnson, by the way, wo a noted
Journallet long before he became a sport
ing critic. Horn In Ohio, he was educated
In the public achnol and at colleur, after
which he became a cub reporter, lie
made rapid progress, one of hi best hit
being the description of m lynching bee
over In Kentucky, which placed him at
the head of the staff of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette.
Johnson covered John L. Hulllvan'
fUht wit Jake Kllrnin and Jim Corbett
with splendid remilu. He became so
deeply Intt-rratcd In sporting events that
he toi.k entire charge of his department
lie soon turned to the national game and
becan-0 widely known as a fearless critic.
It w Jihnon's hohbv even then to
core the kickers and rowdies on the ?:a
frond, for he believe that base ball
should lie free from unanortamanllke tac
tics. Johnson wss th leading base ball
scribe In Cincinnati when Charles A.
Comlskey was appointed manager of the
Rcda by the lata John T. Brush. Commy
and Ban became boaom friends and to
gether they originated the plan to or
ganise another major circuit to divide
public patronage with the National
league.
Uoabled t'p.
When Comlskey engagement with th
Cincinnati club ended Johnson doubled up
with the "Old Roman'' In forming th
American It-ague. That was nesrly fif
teen years sgo and the circuit was con
fined to western cities. Tha scheme was
so successful thst Johnron conceived th
idea of expanding th new organisation by
taking In the present eastern cities. Co
mlskey rolled up a fortune as owner of
the Chicago White Sox and Johnson was
elected president of tho new league for
twenty. flv years at an annual salary
said to be 121,000.
"Clean base ball" was Johnson's motto
from. the outset, snd h has fought on
those lints ever since. Bom persons call
him a ctar, but .not In th sens of h
unfalr, bullying dictator. Johnson Is a
mild mannered, even tempered, keen
wltted man who means Just what he says.
He believes In a square deal. At no time
has he been accused of dishonorable meth
ods In managing his league and In serv
ing as a member of the National commis
sion. He Is highly regarded by every club
owner In the major and minor leagues,
who have perfect confidence In his In
tegrity, Johnson I Feared,
Johnaon la feared by evil doer. He la a
strict (Maclpllnaiian, and th players In
the American league are well aware of
this fact. When he announced that h
would close all American leagu park
and sunpend salaries If th ball players
went out en strike, those who know
Johnson - Intimately were sure "that h
waant bluffing. If the strike had not
been settled at the laat moment, John
son would have made good hla threat,
and It la generally believed that many
of tha American league players would
have refusod to obey th order to walk
out.
The suoo, s of th American league can
be ascribed to Johnson's courageous lead
ership. He has ruled with an lion hand,
but always for the best Interests of the
sport Itself. In supporting his umpire
staff he haa displayed charactcrUtlc
loyalty. He never has wavered In carry
ing out his policy that has made the
American league gamea Immensely popu
lar. In Detroit. recently several Washington
players lost their heads. Morgan, tho
ycung second bgseman, threw a handful
of dirt In Umpire Sheridan's eyes and
received . a blow In the face from that
veteran official. Catcher Alnsworth not
only assaulted Bherldan, but also climbed
Into the grandstand to punch a fan.
Johnson hurried to Detroit from league
headquarters In ChK-ago and Investigated.
He sussiended both players, but Old not
penalise the umire. Why? Because
ther wss sufftcent proof that Morns'
alone was to blame for starting the
rumpus. Furthermore, Johnson had abso
lute confidence In Bherldan.
Rrtose to Re lnfloeared.
- In spile ot the wild threats of another
players' strike If Sheridan was ' not
severely disciplined, the American league
boas decided the case la accordance with
hla own Ideas, refusing to be Influenced
In any way. In short, he proved to the
players who are members ot the frater
nity thst he didn't Intend to allow thm
to run the sport. He had weakened in the
slightest degree discipline would have
been thrown to tha winda.
"The umpire ar honest and human,"
says Johnson, "and they do their level
tnt. They cannot please everybody when
they make close decisions. They render
there decisions as they see th plsya re
gardless of th consequences and they dis
play commendable fcarlesaneea. Th
rules passed by the 'two major leagues
prohibit kicking against rulings which ar
based upon Judgment An umpire cannot
reverse such decisions. Only In th cases
of tec hertalltes can the captain of a
team protert to the umpire. Then It it
Is found that a decision has heen mado
contrary to th rules the uair must
reverse himself.
"W hsve mad the rules against kick
ing so plain that ther Is no alternative.
Flayers who find fsilt with rulings by
umpires behind th plat or on the bases
are out of order and should be sent to th
bench.- Base ball couldn't live a day with
out umpires. If the plsyers war per
mitted to compel umpires to change their
decisions the ram would b a sorry
mess. Base bsll fans should remember
that th visiting team la entitled to a
square deal at all times. Home umpiring.
J eo-nlled before it was abolished, alwaya
hurts base call.
Not to favor of Ktvklosr.
"la my opinion. H per cent ot the great
bas ball publlo doss not favor kicking.
Fans who know th meaning ot sports
manship want to see games won or lost
on their merits. Of course there Is ex
citement over close decision, but that
Is part of the game. A decision must go
one way or the other. If It Is agalnat
the hum club, th fans should remember
that it It had gone the other way th
visitors would hav been equally of
fended. In th long rua a team breaks
about even on tha close veodtcta."
