Judgments
PRtPIDENT NORRIS L O'NEILL
of the Western league. U a good
port, when It come to that. He
may make breaks with his mouth
now and then, whan ha gets to
talking, but ths magnates can't run any
luff on htm. Hughey Jonei, leader of
tha Lincoln, broke out wtth a sugges
tion that President "Tlp'a" pay be cut in
two, Just aa ha bad proposed to do to
tha player. And right back coma Tip,
Just aa quick, and says they can cut his
foy In two, or they can take all of It;
he doesn't need the money, and la willing
to work on the Job this season for fun,
1f It will only keep the league together.
That's the proper spirit, and puta It up
to the league, right flat. And at hat,
ome of the Western magnates wonder
If It wouldn't be economy to do so. Tip
baa been a good president In some ways,
and In others he has looked like he
wasn't president at all. But he has It on
3 Highey Jones, all right, when he says
at one t)ma tha league was using tlO.oo
Of his money, for that wss when Jones
became owner of the Lincoln team. The
affairs of that club had been left In a
l.adly muddled condition by Its previous
owner, and Jimmy McOlll, the million
aire Impressarlo of Penver. was not doing
very much to help straighten them out:
It waa then Tip came to the front and
put up fROOO In regular money to save
"Lincoln and hold the league together.
Somo will be mean enough to say that It
wasn't Tip's own money, but they can't
prove that, and Tip saya It was. At all
events, he put It up, he saved the Lincoln
team and put Hughey Jones on the map
as an owner. Fo It doesn't come with
very good grace from the Lincoln mag
rate to he throwing any Insinuations at
J ho president on the financial question.
This little dispute is beside the ques
tion. When O'Neill made hla suggestion
that salaries bo reduced In order that
the playli'g seat-on of the Western might
be completed without disaster to the
owners, he was acting In good faith, If
he didn't show the best of judgment He
simply Voiced a thought that has been
uppermost In tho minds of Western
league owners for several seasons. They
have felt that salaries In the Western
are too Ugh, but have been forced to
pay players demands la order to get
them. The question ia on of simple
arithmetic. Jack Holland made It plain
In his statement, published last 'week,
that 'under the beat of conditions tha
Western league owner stands very little
uhance of making money, unless be is
able to dispose of one or more players at
a good price at the end of the season,
for all tho ordinary revenue of the game
In absorbed In meeting running expenses.
This condition Is made more serious by
the "unusual weather conditions this
season, which have practically -wiped
Mt the first two months of activity,
without reducing expenses. From the
first of the season until tha present
games have been interfered with by
rain, and not one club has so far taken
In enough money to pay half Its expense
The owners have already pocketed a
loss that would Justify them In closing up
for the season, but they are hanging on.
hoping against hope that the rain la to
end some day, and that during July and
August they can get back a little of
the good money they are now sending
after bad - It Isn't at all likely that the
the matter of that, will 'be cut lnlwo,
the matter of that, will be cut on two,
or that the Wsstsrn -league - will close
oeiore lis playing scneouie la complete,
but the owner are facing; a season, not
only of no profit, but Of ' eertal! lose,
and this fact ought to be kept In mind
by the public when discussing the league
and its doings.
Michigan took rather vigorous action
in dealing with some of Its athletes who
played "summer" base ball, but Its
course will be upheld by all who have
Riven the matter real thought. It is
rtill lmi;,selble for a college player to be
a professional during the base ball sea
son and on nmateur the rest of the year,
nd tho young men should be made to
lealizo that fa?t.
l) wacn't enough that Bert Orover
should win a game from Omaha by the
only three-base hit he ever knocked, but
here comes a Lincoln pitcher avd poles
his only horse run, and beats the Rourkes
avain by a single tally. It certainly
m aa If hard luck were camping on
the ttall of our boys.
Pa Jtourke la finding plenty of occa
sion for the exercise of all hla philosophy
these days. He's got everything- that Is
needed . for a sucoeaaf ul season except a
.good right hand pitcher and some sun
shine, and neither of these will come
tils way.
ua-i weeK waa without sensation In
any of the big leagues, showing that aa
the race for leadership wanna up, the
, bickerings of the managers and owners
are rorgotten, even by themselves.
This will be the week when the college
crews will Kettle supremacy on the water
i or another season, and then wa can ul
tlo back to the regular program of hot
ri.iicr aporis.
Les Mann is giving Bennio Kauff a
run for honors in the Fed league, and It

Technical Problems of Game to Be
Brought Up Before Board of
Directors at Meeting.
LOOP LEADERS CHANGE AGAIN
By FRASK QI ICI.F.V.
Several base ball probloms which in
volve the technique of the game will be
brought up by the various managers I t
the meeting of the directors of the Omaha
Amateur association on next Wednesdnv
night. It would be a good idea for the
directors to have their base ball bibles on
the Job so they can demonstrate proof
of any action they deem necessary to
take.
A word to a few of the local swell
headed ball tossers. Possibly they are
not aware of the fact that they are stuck
up about their ability, but In these cases
their actions speak louder th'an word.
They honestly believe that their Inability
to get on Is due wholly to hard luck, but
some day they will wake up at a heavy
cost and bitter regret. Their attitude
is one of antegonlsm to others. They
should look around and see how many
real ball plavera this world contains that
are far superior to them. If yoj have
to be puffed up relstlve to your ability ns
a base ball manipulator, hold yourself In
check until you land at least a fair posi
tion and then explode.

COBB STILL JJP TO TRICKS
Either It Palling' Something: New or

THINKS FASTER THAN MATES
NEW TORK. Juno . Thera is no
question but what Ty Cobb of the Detroit
Tigers is the most-talked-of man In sports
today, which Is Just another way of say
ing that ha Is ths most Interesting. Al
most any day one can pick up a news
paper and read that . Cobb has again
pulled something new and unexpected, or
has pulled an old trick in a new way. In
the game in which he has become such a
great figure.
It Is a tribute to a -man's resourceful
ness that he can continue to break Into
ths news of the day so prominently in
spite of the competition of his fellow
players and the Important news of these
stirring war times. But Cobb is never
topped, and apparently never at ths and
of his resources. He goes on proving
from dsy to day that he Is the greatest
player of any time. Old-time ball play
ers, -with a natural prejudice In favor of
the era In which they played, are unani
mous In the opinion that Cobb's equal
never lived In ths gams.
' Uses Ills Head;
What makes Cobb so great a player Is
a question that Is frequently asked when
ever he bobs into the limelight. Ths an
swer Is his natural gifts, not only hTs
speed and eye, but his brain. There are
many players aa fast as Cobb, and some
who havs ss good an eye, or nearly as
good aa eye tor hitting, but they lack
j some of the things Cobb combines tn his
collection of assets. Cobb thinks faster '
i than most ball players; thinks further
1 ahead, and has absoluts confidence In i
his convictions. In other words, he de
pends but little on mechanical bass ball.
A lot of other players depend aimoat en
tirely on it and that is where he has the '
advantage of them.
But Cobb has not become so great a
ball player simply through his natural
gifts. His. rise is ths result also of care
ful application to his work. He hss
always studied base ball, and when ho
had been recognized as the best player
in the game, he did not stop studying his
line of business. That is why he has
been better year after yar, and this
season he has come to realise that his
frequent absence from the game has not
only Injured the chances of his club, but
also has interfered with his own suc
cess, and he la attending to business more
carefully than over.
Polls Bomsthla- New.
Ball players long ago gave up trying to
figure Cobb. When he was new In the
league old timers used to get together at
night after a game and plan how they
would 'catch that young sprout the next
time he tried to pull something on them.
The next time he came out he pulled
something new, or pulled an old one In
a new way. Ho had them bewildered.
It was not long until they quit trying to
outguess him, snd now they Just trust
to luck. The minute he gets on ths bases
he has a team guessing. lie knows this
and he takes advantage of it.
Cobb stands out In base 'ball like other
unusual men stand out in other lines,
because he sewis to understand the pos
sibilities of his own game better than the
other men engaged In it. lie ia a buna
ball genius.

The occasion will witness the Initial
bow of the season of the stable of Hchln

ster of Roy Owen. Mention la mado of
this stshla because of lis decision to
race thl year on the half-mile tracks
although Roy had good success on tho
Orand circuit Inst yean He. may, of
course, take a few nags to tome mile
track meetings late In the season.
Tommy Horn, i.04'4. with whom Owen
wound up the Grand circuit at Isling
ton last year In the proverbial blazn of
glory, by winning a sheaf of records, In
cluding the world's seven-heat race 'rec
ord, unfortunately developed a limp
when started up this year, and was
turned out. He appears to' have recov
ered now, however, and will be trained.
It in hlntad that there has been some
little discussion Concerning whst kind
of a pacer Tommy Would make; as he
has always shown an Indication tn amble
a bit.
Since Owen has a number of horses
of ability to hold their own In half-mile
track company, his move In staying here
In preference to taking a small stable
east, appears to be a wise one: '
It Is anticipated that Shadellne,' pacer,

Judge W. O. Hears, of Omaha. alno

the Grand circuit last year with fair sue.

the find timo since he has been asked to

Last year he raced about as fast as tho
horses who bent hltn, but seemed to
have bad racing luck. He, Is now In top
form and although he lias beaton 8:1s
In his work, according- to the last report
which reached Omaha, there is little
doubt that tho pacer who beats him will
have to step in 2 10 on a half-mile track.
Judge Sears Is one of the men who is In
the game solefy, because he loves the
sport and loves a good horse snd who
overlooks sordid financial considerations.
For this reason and because he Is one of
the most prominent men In the state In
the raring game, a victory for his colors
Is always a popular one:

NKW TOR K", June 20 The brightest
star of the pitching world at the presnt
time is Vrbsn Fabrr of the Chicago White
Sox. who was passed up br a half dozen
his league clubs because K was figured
that he couldn't stand the gaff.
The way Faber Is whirling along this
year makes It look ss If he will end t?a
season with a rechrd that will challenge
the greatest ever complied by modern
fllwrera.
Kabor, who has been nicknamed "Red"
because of his sorrel thatch, won elaht
straight recently, suffered a setback In
hla next start, and then bsgan right over
agiiln for a new winning streak record.
The victories of Kaber have not been
of the "fluke" order. He has won
through sheer -itching ability . Othr
pitchers In the past have hung up some
fair records because they got the
breaks" because the enemy hobbled at
critical momentts and let a few runs leak
through. But faber'a victories havs been
scored because Fshef doesn't let the
enemy get enough runs to provo danger
ous. Kaher's battle for big league recogni
tion wss one of the gamest ever made by
a btisher. Time and again he seemed on
the point of realising his ambition, but
each time he was disappointed. Rut the
disappointments didn't discourage him.
Me' kept on plugging In the minora He
gave the best he hsd lit all times, showed
that he a-as a real pitcher, and finally
landed wllh the White Pox.

It was Frank tahell. the ' Bald -Headed
Eagle" of the White Sox of other days,
who aided Faber In getting a chance
with the Sox. Faber waa tried .out by
ths Pittsburgh Pirates about four or five
years ago and after a brief trial was
labeled "punk", and shipped back to ths
bushes. . .
For three years Faber labored for tho
Pes Molnea team in the Western league.
of which' Isbell la manager.' "Iixy"
wrote to his old boss, Charley Comisky,
during ths 1911 season: c
"I'd suggest that you grab this man
Faber. He's the best pitcher In the
minors today.",
Comlsky sent Jack Doylo to look over
Faber. . After. watching Faber for a few
days Doyn reported U Comlsky that
Faber wouldn't make good In the majors.
When "Isy" .heard about Doyle's report
on Faber. he wrote to Comlsky again:
"I never steered you wrong yet. and
I'm not doing. It now. Get Faber. I
don't care what Doyle says about Mm
1 say Faber Is a wonder. Give him a
chance and you'll find out that I am
rUht" '
Comlsky thought the matter over and
dtclded te take "Ixsy's" advice, although
Poyle. insisted that "Itiy" was overly rn
thtsiastlc and wrong. A few days Leforc

purchased Faber for f.l,sno and Tjoyle

much of a chance and It was decided to
let hltn loose, llut then "Kid" GU-asen,
coach of the White Sox, came to th fore.

Jin. my Callahan. "let him stick around
this season watching things mostly from
the bench and you'll have a great pitcher
when the lSlfi season comes around."
Callahan reluctantly let Faber 'stick
around." The youngster didn't show
much In Ms irl work with the Pox. but
when the litis season opened he went to
Manager Clarence Rowland and said:

Faber got his chance and he made
