POTTIHGTWK NEXT CN& OVER" mr Stanford Track Men Win. Stanford University, Cal., April 9. The ' Stanford university track team defeated the University of Southern California, 77 to 45, in their second meet of the season Thursday. Men who have "won their spurs" There have been several occasions when the Giants and Ump Brennan almost came to thumps owing to Rill's bad habit of calling a strike. This is a social blunder that no bat ter ever will forgive, even if he lives to be older than Chauncey Depew's newest story. Getting all steamed up about um pires in the spring is something like worrying about frostbites in the land where umpires usually go. But the world scuffle over Umpires Rooney and Brennan looks as if it were going to develop into a serious case of poisoned dignity. Ed Barrow is right up on his rear wheels. He burzes that if Gus Rooney doesn't go, then Bill Bren nan doesn't go. What is con somme .for the goose is chicken gumbo for the gander. The Squawk against Rooney is established on a sour decision on Fred Toney, who was thrown out on an orthodox single to right. The decision balked the Giants out of the game. McGraw claims that the sad piece of judgment proves that Roqney is no umpire. As a matter of fact, it proves that he is. Toney slapped a sure right signle and was bouncing down to first on all fours like an ant trying to crawl downstairs-on an esculator. Hooper grabbed the ball on the third bounce, which . used to be out under the old rules anyway. Then Hoop kind'a rural free deliveried the ball Jjo first about a Texas mile ahead of Toney, who was sprinting some thing like a Morris chair in the suburbs. rfi .a in their country's service they love a winner, for they were the world's great est winners themselves 1 They'll revel in the rich blend of Spur Cigarettes that good old tobacco taste.

When teacher left for the oil park in Young county he left word that Rooney was non compitas ump. Meaning in the classics that he was a bimbo. A bimbo is two sizes wronger than a two'-foot yardstick.

McGraw chirps that he doesn't care whether he plays the series out or not The Red Sox need the money. If this trip flops through. Barrow will have to kidnap Babe Ruth and sell him all over again. Ban Johnson is sore on Bill Bren nan for umping to the Feds in the days of "live and ten" base ball. Brennan is a capable umpire and should be right back in the big leagues now if Johnson would low er the drawbridge. When they gave dignity out Ban wasn't hiding be hind the door. At present Brennan is' chief of staff of the Southern league, and getting paid better than he would draz down from Ban. One minute to change reels. Barrow also wired to Papa Ben Johnson and under stress of 4eep emotion inadvertently paid for the message at this end. No answer has been received owing to the fact that .the auroura borealis consolidat ed its resources with the telegraph companies and tied the wlies up into a lovers' knot.
