THE ' OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 13. 1917.
Judgments
1
BASE BALL magnates are ap
prehensive over the outlook
for the present season. The
moguls may be right in their
fear that the going will prove too
rough for the national pastime. If
the 10 per cent war tax is imposed
there is no doubt that most of the
parks in the country, especially the
minors, will be compelled to shut
down and wait for times of peace and
prosperity. But unless the tax is
imposed base ball at the worst should
not suffer a worse season than 1916.
Bad weather this spring has caused
most of the apprehension. For ten
days rains predominated all over the
country, with the result that few
games were played during the period
and those that were played were not
well attended. It has also been pret
ty cold this spring and the fans wait
ed for the day when he could see the
game without draping himself in an
overcoat. In Omaha, for instance, a
week ago today 3,000 persons saw
the game, and it wasn't by any means
a comfortable base ball day. It
would seem the magnates are getting
a little previous with their worries,
and unless they run into another pro
longed rainy spell or the war tax is
levied base ball should do fully as
well this year as last, if not much
better.
While boxing fans haven't any great
love for Freddie Welsh, one must con
fess an admiration for the lightweight
title holder for his business astute
ness. Welsh has been in the ring for
many, many years. He has probably
survived as long a career as any boxer.
And in that long career Welsh has
probably lost as many fights as he
has won. We use "lost" advisedly,
outpointed might be a better word,
for, of course, most of the defeats
have been of the newspaper species,
which have no bearing upon the
championship. Welsh has earned
many a dollar in the ring and as he
still holds the championship he no
doubt will make many more. We may
not admire Freddie's methods, but
we must admit they win for Freddie.
Umpires in the Western league
have apparently taken President Zeh
rung's instructions literally. They
tolerate no wrangling at all. This
may be all right, but it may be all
wrong. The reason, of course, is to
prevent any rowdyism on the field,
but it might be well to remember that
base ball isn't a tea room sport and
the fan likes a little excitement for
his money. Taking the spirit out of
the play by having the umpire yell
"Five bucks" whenever an athlete
opens his mouth or bats his eye is bad
business reasoning, and if overdone is
more likely to keep the attendance
down than the war or the high cost
of living.
Word trickled over the wires last
week that the American association
had lost $10,000 a week since the
opening of the season. Association
club owners have always made the
mistake that they were conducting
ball clubs in major league towns.
They have employed high-priced ball
players, mostly stars just fading from
the big show, and they spent their
money as extravagantly as big league
magnates. The association plays a
faster article of ball than the other
AA leagues, but with a couple of ex
ceptions the towns in the league do
not justify the extravagance.
Omaha fans have placed the stamp
of approval on Outfielder Schick. With
all the respect in the world for the
late, lamented Mr. Forsythe, Schick
appears to be a decided improvement.
The new gardner is a fast fielder, has
the earmarks of a .300 swatter and is
fast on the bases. The Omaha out
field of Smith, Thompson and Schick
looks like big league stuff and it's a
cinch it is the class of the Zehrung
circuit.
The Wisconsin commission has
eliminated the large guarantee for
boxers. Another move toward the
better. It is quite ridiculous to pay
fighters the enormous sums which
many of them have received, and this
is one of the reasons why the ring
game has fallen into disrepute in
many localities. Other commissions
would be wise to follow Wisconsin's
good example.
Boxing has been "saved" in New
York and T. Jones and J. Curley, in
behalf of Mr. Willard, may permit a
sigh of relief to escape. With the
Jones-Curley conception of fitting re
muneration for Willard's ten-round
services fluctuating between the mod
est little sums of $50,000 and $75,000,
it is fortunate indeed that New York's
fertile crop of suckers be retained.

manipulated by crafty managers and
promoters who never give the dollar
an even chance it tney can neip it.
Marin Plestina, Omaha wrestler, is
scheduled to clash with Adolph Ernst
at San Francisco Tuesday. If Ples
tina throws Ernst he will vanquish
one of the cleverest wrestlers in the
business and it will no longer be pos
sibleor at least good policy for the
topnotchers of the mat game to con
tinue to ignore the Omaha man's
challenges.
George Sisler has crowded Tris
Sneaker out of hitting honors in the
American league and Benny Kauri
has climbed to eighth position in the
National. The dopesters wouldn't
have much of a fit if Sisler should
beat both Tris and Ty out and Benny
finally make good on his promise to
clout all tile boards on tne lences.
Earl Caddock is now exhibiting
some of his advertised 1.000 holds at

vised to do his collecting while the
collecting is good; they refuse to kick
loose with 60 per cent of the gross
receipts in the trenches.

FINE HAIR GIVES
mrNICMME
Brother Tacked Monicker on
Famous Ump and He
Brought it Into Baie
Ball With Him.
Silk," as Umpire Frank H.
O'Loughlin of the American league
is known throughout the entire base
ball world, is a native and resident of
the city of Rochester, N. Y.
Doubtless many wonder why it is
that O'Loughlin is known by the
nickname of "Silk." Some guessers
ascribe it to the high quality of his
work, but that is not how he secured
the title When he was a young lad
he had long, silky hair which caused
his brother to call him "Silk." The
other boys were very quick to take
up this, and silk it has been trom
that day to this.
Started as an Amateur.
"Silk" began his base ball career
as an amateur in his home city, where
he was connected with some ot the
best amateur teams of that city and
surrounding towns. He played ama
teur ball until the year lsy4, when his
general technical knowledge of the
game was recognized and he was
drafted into the ranks of umpiredom
in a somewhat precipitous manner.
the city ot Rochester and vicinity
has always been noted for its splen
did amateur clubs, and the intense
rivalry that has existed between
teams of that city and the neighbor
ing towns and villages is probably
unsurpassed irr any other section of
the country.
In the year ot y4 the town ot
Palmyra had a strong team of pro
fessionals, among which were
Stump Weidiuan, formerly one of
the old Detroit team and a brother-in-law
of "Silk," by the way; Paul
Cook, who was connected with the
Brooklyn brotherhood; Mark Bald
win, Pete Sweeney, and other equally
as good but not as well known play
ers. The Palmyras had an important
game scheduled with one of its rivals.
Considerable difficulty had been ex
perienced here before in procuring
the services of a competent umpire,
as the games were extremely excit
ing and the rivalry was at lever heat.
Made Good From Start.
One of Silk's admirers suggested to
the management that he would be
just the man to officiate as umpire
in this game. He was communicated
with and accepted the position. He
gave his decisions clearly, distinctly
and fearlessly, with entire satisfac
tion to all concerned. He umpired
the rest of the scries in the same ac
ceptable manner, and it may be said
that this was the beginning ot his
successful career. For the remainder
of that season and for the two suc
ceeding years "Silk" was in constant
demand as umpire throughout the
state of New York.
In the year 1897 "Silk" entered
upon his duties as a professional um
pire in the Atlantic league, of which
Ed Barrow was president; in 1898 he
was engaged by the New York State
league, and from 1898 to 1902, in
clusive, he was with the Eastern
league.
Ban Johnson Grabs Him.
When the American league came
into existence President Johnson,
recognizing the record and career ot
"Silk" as an umpire, engaged him as
one of the first arbiters in that or
ganization and he has been with that
organization ever since. His record
m that organization in this difficult
position is known to every base ball
lover in the country.
Since his connection with that
league he has officiated in the same
fair, fearless and competent manner
which characterized the first game he
umpired in Palmyra heretofore re
ferred to. On the diamond "Silk" has
a style which is peculiarly his own.
His strike t-u-n, Dy wnicn ne
designates two strikes, is a trade
mark of his own known throughout
the country.
Welsh Most Clever of All
Boxers, Declares A. Attel!
Abe Attell agrees with Charley
White that Freddie Welsh is one of
the crreatest boxers in the history of
lightweights. Abe admitted it the
other day. He is the little fellow, who,
with Gritfo and Jim Lorbett, is ratea
the most scientific of them all.
"I met Welsh in Los Angeles when
I was champion of my class.
"I was very anxious to at least out
point him. He wasn't lightweight
champion then, out Dy an counts ne
should have been.
"I thought I was just about the
niftiest two-handed thing that walked.
I went at Welsh convinced that no
man living could outbox me. I didn't
tumble to the fact that I was being
woefully outpointed until tne sixth or
seventh round. Then I tried desper
ately to outshine this fellow, tvery.
thing in the line of ringmanship that
1 ever knew or dreamed ot I tried on
him. No matter what it was, parry,
hook, step or lead, he was always
there ahead of me. I just went wild,
that's all. I tried to goad him into
opening up that I might get a free
crack at his law.
" 'Why don't you come out from be
hind those arms and hghtr 1 whis
nered when I drew him into a clinch
" 'Oh, I'm doing jolly well as it is,
Abraham. I am very well getting the
decision, he chirped, and lie did.
"Clever? Say, there never was a
man like him."
Fred Merkle to Be Golf Pro
When Diamond Days Are Over
Fred Merkle of the Cubs is prob
ably the best golfer among profes
sional ball players, having a slight
shade even on Chief Bender, formerly
of the Athletics. Merkle spent last
winter at Ormond, Fla.. and the
wealthy golf bugs at the hotel used
to pay him $3.50 just to go around the
course with them, so that he could
watch their style and give them a few
pointers. Merkle has made a caretul.
scientitic study ot the game and in
tends to become a golf professional
when he retires from base ball.
Stuffy Mclnnis Gets Away
To Flying Start This Year
Stuffy Mclnnes of the Athletics is
out to get a high ranking in base
ball this season. Usually a poor
starter and strong finisher, Mclnnis
has been batting better than ever be
fore in his career at this time of the
year.

HOW BEN LEONARD
BROKEJNTO GAME
Lightweight Star Climbed
Through Window and Fought
to Escape Taking Ride
in Patrol Wagon.
By RINGSIDE.
. Chicago, May 12. The rapid rise of
Benny Leonard, the New York light
weight who recently knocked out
Ritchie Mitchell at Milwaukee, brings
to light an interesting story of how
he broke into the ring. Billy Gibson,
manager of the little New York star,
told the story when he stopped off in
Chicago the other day.
"On the occasion of one of my
weekly shows at the old Fairmont
dub a bunch of younsters broke
into the place through one of the win
dows," said Gibson. "They had done
it many times before, but this time
we had been 'laying' for them and
nailed the whole gang.
"After giving them a good scare
by having the cops threaten to take
them to the police station, I noticed
one youngster who was hanging
back. It later turned out to be Leon
ard. I went up to him and he began
to plead to see the show. He was
willing to do anything.
"But the principal thing he wanted
to do was to fight. He told me he had
licked the toughest kids in his neigh
borhood. Se when I found I was
short a lad I decided I would get rid
of Leonard, and sent him in the ring
against a tough kid named Mickey
Calligan. Well, I got the surprise of
my life, and so did Mickey. The
tough youngster got a good thrash
ing in about four rounds.
"But let me tell you how Leonard
got his name. When he fought
Mickey the announcer went over to
his corner and asked him his name.
'Loiner,' said the kid. Then the gal
lery gods began howling 'Good-boy,
'Loiner.' But the announcer thought
the name was 'Leonard,' and so called
it out. The crowd then changed to
'Leonard' and 'Leonard' it has been
ever since. Leonard's real name is
'Leiner.' "
From that time on Leonard was a
fighter. Now he has reached a point
in his career where he soon may be
wearing the lightweight crown, for
many fans believe he has a better
line of goods than the present cham
pion, Freddie Welsh. ,
Look for Heavy Fighting.
There's going to be some heavy
fighting in the lightest division of the
ring before long, if Pete Herman, ths
new bantamweight champion, is any
good as a prognosticator. Pete be
lieves the bantamweight division is
better balanced than any other divi
sion, and looks forward to a rough
time in keening: his title.
"Lots of people have suggested to
me that I must consider Johnny Wil
liams of Baltimore, the man 1 won
the title from, as the hardest of the
lot," said Pete.
"While I give Johnny lots of credit
for being a great little fighter, I
don't regard him as any harder to
beat than some of the others.
"The trouble with most of the
bantamweights is that they arc not
bantams. They either will not or
cannot make the weight. Most of
them want 118 pounds and some want
to go as high as UV. frankie Burns,
undoubtedly a great boxer, has grown
heavy, and Williams has, too."
Taught By Sullivan. t
The sensational end of Jim Barry,
the heavyweight, recalls the story of
a lost chance. Barry in the summer
of his career was declared to be
championship timber by John L. Sul
livan. In fact, John L. thought so
much of his ability that he taught
Barry most of his tricks. '
But Barry, like dozens of other
boxers, couldn't stay away from the
cup that cheers. About 1906 he
started to flirt with Demon Rum and
a month or so ago the end came in a
row at Colon, Panama. Barry had
been in South America and was
stopping at Colon en route.
The statement of John L. Sullivan
that Barry was championship mate
rial came while John L. was making
a tour of the country in 1906. Frank
i Hall was managing the tour, and in
cidentally picked up Barry and
Charley Cutler. The two met all
comers in four-round bouts.
Sullivan immediately took an inter
est in Barry and took him under his
wing. Barry was wonderfully devel
oped and could hit with the power of
a triphammer. He scored knockouts
over numerous heavyweights. But
Barry couldn't hold himself in leash.
He took to dissipation and from then
on booze began eliminating Barry's
hopes for better things.
April 14, only' three days after the
season onened. The score was 11 to
0 in Chicago's favor. Only four St.
Louis batters got on base, Ucotte
walking three and hitting one. Jim
CROSBY WANTS TO
BE L00PIR0N MAN
Sioux City Catcher is Ambi
tious to Catch One Hundred
and ' Twenty Games
This Year.
"Tex" Crosby, first string catcher
for the Indians, has informed Man
ager Holly that he has one ambition
he wants to fulfill this season, and
that is to catch 120 games or more, if
possible. "Tex" wants to be the iron
man among the Western league catch
ers and barring accidents he probably
will realize his ambition.
Crosby believes that by catching at
least 120 games he will not only es
tablish a good receiving record, but
he is positive that if he is in the game
practically every day of the season he
will have a good opportunity of going
up this fall.
The Indian catcher caught good ball
last season, but was forced to be sec
ond string receiver on account of
Paddy Livingston's ability to crack
the old pill. Paddy was one of the
best hitters on the squad and his ap
pearance in the lineup injected much
"pep" into the play.
Cleveland Wanted Him.
In midseason the Cleveland Ameri
cans were watching Crosby's work,
and it was thought that they would
either buy or draft the Indian re
ceiver. Crosby had hopes' of being a
roommate of Tris Speaker this season.
However, the lack of work caused
Crosby's slump and Cleveland passed
him up.
Crosby had the best chance of his
career to go to the majors this fall.
He never got away to a better start
and never before possessed the spirit
and "pep" he is displaying this sea
son. Crosby probably will realize his
ambition to catch the largest number
of games of any catcher in the league,
as the youngster rule is going to give
the veteran receiver an opporunity
to work often. Manager Holly plans
nn havinor one vounaster a catcher
and this will throw the burden of
work upon Crosby.
Hitting the Ball Hard.
"Tex" is hitting the ball harder this
year than ever before. He is improv
ing in his swat anility ana it wouia
not be surprising if he batted close
to .300 this season. Manager Holly
is willing to give Crosby an oppor
tunity to establish his marathon rec
ord, providing he can continue to swat
Ihr hall.
Sioux City hurlers claim that
Crosby is the best catcher in the
leaeue. Other Western league play
ers admit that the Sioux City re
ceiver is the class of the circuit. Ihe
Indian hurlers claim they have no
fear of the bascrunner securing a big
lead, as Crosby's rifle-like peg gen
erally nabs him before he reaches tne
keystone station.
Yost Anxious to Resume
Place in the "Big Nine"
Fielding H. Yost, the famous
builder of foot ball elevens at the
University of Michigan, is highly
gratified with the action of the board
of regents in voting to return to the
western conference. He believes the
faculty representatives of the "Big
Nine institutions will warmly wel
come the return of Michigan when
they meet in Chicago, June 9, to pass
on the application.
Yost strongly favors competition in
all branches of athletics with western
teams, for. he says, it is neither de
sirable nor practicable for Michigan
to be half east and half west." He
declares that it has not been possible
to arrange satisfactory base ball or
track schedules outside of the confer
ence. "I am strongly in favor of Michi
gan's return," Yost said. "1 want to
return absolutely and completely."
Baugh Threatens to Fire
Ebberfield Out of League
President Robert H. Baugh of the
Southern league has announced that
unless Norman Elberfeld, manager of
the Chattanooga club, discontinues
what Baugh asserts is "rowdyism,"
the Ternessee helmsman will be re
moved from the Southern league. El
berfeld was removed from a game be
tween Chattanooga and Birmingham
for alleged "dilatory tactics." When
he appealed to President Baugh his
automatic fine of $10 was increased
to ?15.
Billy Miske Breaks Hand;
No Fights for Four Months
Because of a broket. bone in his left
hand, Billy Miske, the St. Paul light
heavyweight, will do no more boxing
for four months. Miske and his man
ager with their families plan to spend
the summer at a Minnesota lake.
Vaughn, famous pitcher of the Cubs,
came close to making the next no-hit
game, when he allowed only one run
and two hits in the game with tin
cinnati.
MAJOR CLUBS NEED
UTILITY PLAYERS
Loss of Herzog and Zim to
Giants Show Value of
Good Utility Men on
a Team.
By JACK VEIOCK,
New York, May 12. Utility players
are worth their weight in gold in the
National league this year.
Though the utility man may be
forced to decorate the long timber
all season, his presence there means
much to the manager, for with the
player limit cut to twenty-two men
the National leaguers are forced to
get along with as few utility men as
possible, and when injuries invade a
base ball club, capable substitutes
must be shot into the vacant shoes of
the injured men.
Injuries are just as much a part of
base ball as anything else connected
with the game. Many a club's chances
have been wrecked through injuries to
star players, and the club without
utility reserve strength is up against
a serious proposition.
Though the New York Giants were
looked upon and are still figures as
pennant winners in the old league, a
series of injuries to the members of
McGraw's squad of regulars may
wreck the chances of the Polo
Grounders at any time. With the line
up intact Mcliraw nas a wonaeriui
machine. But early in the season,
when Zimmerman and Herzog were
both out of the game, the McGrawian
machine failed to hit on all cylinders.
Kilduff and Hans Lobert had to fill in
the gaps, and though the former is a
promising youngster, ne is not Her
zog, while Lobert is aging fast and
his leg is giving him trouble.
Mauaser Mitchell of the Cubs suf
fered the worst sort of luck right off
the reel. Saier's broken leg and
Wortman's busted finger were the big
handicaps. Doyle's ankle, still weak
and undependable, has given him
trouble, and at anv time injuries may
beset the Cubs again and spoil what
chances they have for a strong hntsh
The acquisition of Fred Merkle was a
blessing to the Cubs, but they were
luckv to aet him. and that bit of luck
helped to offset the handicap of
baier s injury.
Great Utility Man.
In McGaffigan the Phillies have one
good bet as a utility man. The Dodg
ers have Olson or Mowrey, and the
Braves have Massey, who has done a
good job of filling Evers' shoes. The
Reds, with McKechnie, and the Cubs,
with Hunter and Zeider, one of whom
will likely be in the game or alternate
on the inheld throughout tne season,
are practically held down to the limit.
Miller Huggins' subs cannot compare
favorably with his regulars, and there
vou are.
In the American league, where the
clubs are permitted to carry twenty
five men, two extra outfielders and
two extra infielders can be carried
throughout the season and the mana
gers can also keep three additional
players, preterably young pitcners or
catchers who- can be taught much on
the bench. In the National, figuring
that a c ub carriers eight pitchers,
three catchers, four regular infielders
and three regular outfielders, the ad
dition of four utility men fills up the
roster to the limit. The managers
have practically no chance to hold
onto young players of promise, and if
they have such players and refuse to
let them go, they are handicapped for
utility talent. So it is a gay life for
National league managers this year
when the old injury jinx comes
around.
Curbinc the Players.
President John K. Tener of the
National league was just beginning
to enjoy the impression that his um
pires were keeping the players well
in hand, when his dream of peace on
the diamonds in his league was rudely
shattered at the Polo grounds. Player
Fitzpatrick of the Braves was the
principal disturber in an altercation
with Umpire Quigley, and was later
fined $50 and suspended indefinitely.
Following the trouble Governor
Tener issued a new set of laws to his
arbiters. He told them to stamp out
the trouble maker3 at the first sign
of an outbreak, and hereafter the
snuawkers will be banished when
they get rough if the governors or
Her arp carrier! out. Bailishillfir play.
ers often works a hardship on a ball
club, and as a rule the arbiters are
as lenient as possible. But when
players become unruly there is only
one thing for the umpire to do, and
that is to hang the ancient order of
tin on him. In cases of this kind the
managers are partly to blame, lney
should warn their players against
kicking beyond a reasonable limit.
