Byron and Quigley Are ' .Back in Favor With Fans The 'turmoil over Umpires Byron and Quigley has subsided largely for the reason that the base ball public - doesn't believe in persecution. Byron and Quigley presided over the games at the Polo grounds recently and their work gave satisfaction. There was no trouble in any of the games, the rival players accepting the vari ous rulings of these much-abused of ficials without a show of displeasure. Good umpiring is a certainty if the players control themselves. The un ruly element of fandom doesn't find fault unless the players set an exam ple. Since the Giants returned home there has been no kicking to speak of and the games have been unusually entertaining. Baltimore Club Sells Six Athletes to Big Leagues Manager Jack Dunn of Baltimore has disposed of six players this sea so'ri: Outfielder Barber to the Cubs, Infielder Fewster, Pitcher Thormah- len and Outfielder Lamar to the High f landers, and Catcher McAvoy and Shortstop Shannon to Mack. How ever, Dunn has signed a young south paw named Howard McFall, so he is starting early to build up his 1918 team. .

Christmas comes but once a year, St. Patrick's day the same; But Wagner Day comes once a week Since Hans resumed the game. The Come Back Record. Jack Murray has been fired twice and hired three times this reason by the Giants, which is probably a big league record. Of all the quick-thinking fighters there probably never was one su perior to Abe Attel, tha little He brew who held the featherweight title for so many years. Time after time when in desperate straits Abe's quick wits saved the day for him when another fighter would have gone down to defeat. Danny Good man, who long acted as Attel's chief trainer and second, tells many good stories illustrating the latter's re markable headwork in critical situa tions. , , According to Goodman, the wily Attel once saved his title in a bout with Johnny Kilbane at Cleveland when all hope seemed gone. In one of the early rounds Attel hooked a savage left for the head. Kilbane saw it coming and ducked inside, so that Attel's forearm landed on the skull, spraining it so badly that the arm was useless. With his best weapon out of com mission, Attel's chances of winning the decision went aglimmering. But he concealed his injury, not even mentioning the fact that he had been hurt to his seconds. During the min-' ute s rest at the end of the round At tel did some deep thinking, and by the time the gong sounded his plan was formed. Cleverly Trips Opponent In the first clinch he cleverly tripped his opponent so that the pair went down in a heap with Attel un derneath and with his right arm twisted behind his back. The whole thing was done so cleverly that it looked as though Kilbane had com mitted a foul by wrestling the cham pion to the floor. Attel promptly set up a cry that his right arm had been broken, wail ing that his fighting days were over and doing everything in his power to create a scene that would confuse the referee, who naturally was full of sympathy and not inclined to be se vere in his ruling. The upshot of the matter was that the bout was put down as no contest, and Abe's title was saved? However, it was necessary to main tain the decision to the end, and it still looked black for Abe, because a physician's examination would show that there was nothing wrong with his right arm. Instead of claiming that his bruised left had, been broken, Attel had chosen to fake an injury to his right, figuring that if the trick did not work and he was ordered to go on and fight he would be much bet ter off if his opponent did not know" which was the bad arm. There were plenty of physicians at the ringside who offered their serv ices, but in order to gain time and escape from the club Attel made such a tuss that he was bundled ott to a hospital without a close examination. Goodman, much concerned, and be lieving like the rest that Abe's arm was really broken, arranged to sit up all night and comfort his friend. But the moment they were left alone Abe broke into a cratty smile. . "Go on back to the hotel. Danny,' he said. "My right arm's all rigrt It s my left that a .hurt, and it s only bruised, i here as nothing to worry about." . Johnson Urges Yankee Owners to Build Plant President Johnson and the Ameri can league men are urging Colonel Ruppert to build a new home for the Yankees. An excellent site has been picked out, but it is not in Queens. It would require an outlay oT more than $500,000 to construct a stadium on modern lines, but Colonel Rup pert, before making this radical move, probably would desire a winning com bination on the field. The Yankees would have to be wonderfully for midable to retain their patronage j away from the Polo grounds. ' A New FitebaU King. . Kansas City has a pitcher named Karosen, who changed his name to Carlson. His name sounded so much like kerosene that he probably thought he would be expected to burn up the league. Dame Rumor is grooming Miller Huggins to succeed Bill Donovan as manager of the Yankees. Lay off, Dame, we have other plans for the Rabbit. In fact, Hug is an important factor in a little scheme we are framing up to pull off a watermelon party in October, I?18. Chief Bender is said to be working under a bonus system whereby he gets $50 for every game he wins in addition toa nominal salary; His salary may be nominal but his pitch' ing has been phenominal. Disability. I knew a young stenographer And she was quite expert; She'd rattle off her "100 per" When she put on a spurt. She thought a job with Uncle Sam Would make her joy complete; But Uncle Sammy turned her down Because she had flat feet. Ivan Olson, who was benched ear lier in the season, is putting up a swell game for the Brooklyn Superbas. Since his return to regular work Ol son has led his team in batting and at the same time ha-, played bang-up ball in the field. The Giants certainly are proving a hard outfit for National league teams to beat. Present indications point to the McGrawites romping home a win ner with & mile of daylight between them and the runner-up. Honus Wagner has had more "spe cial days" staged in his honor Jhan any other player in the history of baseball. Nearly every National league club has staged a "Wagner Day this season. JOE JENKINS IS CHEERFUL PERSON White Sox Catcher Carries on Rapid Fire Conversation When Examined for Draft Army. Nobody ever could get Joe Jenkins, White Sox catcher, to take anything seriously. Life is all one grand joke with him and if he ever gets in the trenches he probably will find seme sort or tun even out of their misery. Recently Jenkins appeared before an examining board in Chicago to take the test for army service under the draft call. Several other ball players were along and all with their hearts in their shoes as they faced the ordeal except Jenkins. Joe stepped jauntly forward when called, gave his name, age, etc., and was passed to a physician for the physical part ot his examination. "Let he see your teeth." said the physician. 4- "But, doctor. I told you how old I was, ventured Jenkins. "I just want to see the condition of your teeth," explained the exami ner. "Now ump up and down," ordered the physician later, putting the tester over Joe's heart. "Oh, doc. now you have me," said Joe. "You ve discovered my weak ness at last Why, as soon s I come up to bat' some player on the oppos ing team says there i our meat he has no' heart. "Well, I hear something beating down here and it sounds lomething n litai i, . icjjucu IMC yuy OltlBIl. "No, doc, I'll be frank with you and tell you the truth I'm in love and I lost my heart," explained Joe. "There's many a poor fellow who'd like to have yours just the same," ex plained the doctor. "Well, I -was even told once to have a heart," said Joe, "but, doc, I don't want you ,to think for a minute that I wish to be exempted." Then Jenkins' lungs were tested. "You're certainly a wonder for find ing my weakness, 'said Joe. There you have it why I've had pneumonia three times." Just to show that he wasn't bluffin Jenkins began coughing, drawing a laugh from all present, including Ris berg, who had just been submitted to the acid test. Then the physician turned to Joe's pedal extremities. "The feet don't make any difference, do they?" inquired Joe. "Yes, very much difference," replied the examiner. "Then I'm through," i said Joe. "Why, my heels and toes don't even touch the ground. I'm flat footed awful flat footed. I walk on the bajls of my feet, but, doc, I want you to undestand I don't for a minute want to be exempted. "All I want Woodrow to do is to let me hang around till the Sox play the Giants. Then I want to go to the trenches. Look how I could cheer 'em up in the World's series. After we lick the Giants we'll go out and clean up the' Turks the real Turks." Call Great Heinie Zim ' . The Greatest bfr All "The greatest third baseman ever seen on the' Polo grounds'" That's the verdict which has been rendered by fans who have seen Giant teams come and go for years. The glory of former New York guardians of the far corner is fading away in the light of the performances of the Great Zim, and, the Bronx is no longer the only section of the city that idolizes the big fellow. ; As a member of the Cubs Heinie made a name for himself as a great hitter, but his fielding was never con sidered anything out of the ordinary. Since joining the Giants however, he has fielded his position in marvelous style and he makes plays around third base that no other third sacker in the game is capable of. One play which he perpetrated recently is typical of the kind he makes dav in and dayout.
