Byron Working in Usual Inaccurate Manner
MTT'S a hard mntter to dope out n hall lub before the season stmts," said
Hugo Jlo7dek jesterda.v. after recovering from his adventure with Hill
Byron, the autocrat umpire Hill told Hugo to take the ail after the Tirate
manager had kicked on a spin ions ball which had been called on Wilttril.
Byron did not have an off dav. but called them in his usual iiinccuinte mnnner,
showing preference to neither team.
"Yes, it's a tough proposition. ' icpeated the ousted manager ns he took
a seat in the grand stand. "In the spring the.v look great, but as soon ns the
season starts you must begin doping all over again. Tnke my team, for ex
ample. We have a good bull dub and should win man games, but we haven't
started to play our best as jet. The piti hers need waim weather and some of
th'o.players still are on the injured list.
"Bill Southworth is not with the club because be is suffeiing with neu
ritis in the legs and is in bad shape. He lost ten pounds in a week nnd I sent
him home to take a long rest. Mux Care was operated upon before the game
by Doctor Carnctt aud had a boil cut from under his urin. He couldn't jilay
the entire gome, and I doubt if he will be able to play for a couple of dajs.
In addition, the infield is not working together yet, but it will be different
irom now on.
I want to go on recoid as being opposed to home training tiips or trips
to towns not far enough .South. I want to trnm my ball club in a place where
the temperature is about SIM. where the hoys can let themselves loose and get
into shape. A few cold das will not hurt them after they get North. Il is
the preliminary work that lounts.

National League Discards Retrenchment Policy
RESTORING the twenty -iivo-plaj or limit and handing the well-known
K. O. to the twenty-one roster, the National League took n step in the
rieht direction vesterdav. Baseball has become more popular than even the
most confirmed optimists believed and something had to be done to expand.
Ik would not be at all surprising to see the American League follow suit
'xritbin a few dajs.
Wnmnrmw was the dav seL for limning the najioll nnd (aiming all suner-

Another thing which looms in the oiling is the utter annihilation of the

land really intelligent action of .vesteiduj.
At that, there would have been little liaiilslup on tlie pait of the majority
odroanagers in slicing the plaer limit to twenty-one. Plans had been made
early in the season to hold about eight pitchers, four outtieldeis, five infielders
and three catchers, making a total of twenty. Theie would have been some

Till! return of Udward . Cicottc with "something on.lt," and his winning
ways, lias boosted White Sox chances by a number of kilometers, adopting
the quaint French measurement.
ITdward V., after a long nnd honorable career of servitude In the rifle plk,
was supposed to be very much to the hoity-toity last season, banging up by
an eyelash.
But Udvvnid . Is one of those rare birds who is liable to come back at any
moment with a fist full of Important stuff, and 1011) seems to be his year ngaln.
Cicotte was pitching for Detroit in lDOS, n matter of fourteen seasons ago.
He was in bad favor thcrci his uative heath, and later drifted around to
Augusta, Indianapolis, Des Moines and Lincoln before be finally lit.on Boston.
Cleotta remained with Boston four nnd a half years before the Red Sox'
shifted him to Chicago, Edvvnrd V. replacing red hosiery with white. When
he skidded badly last season at the age of thirty-four few believed he would
ever be a factor again,
rET heie he is lack among the winners onca. more, backed up by
a hard-hitting hall club that is dead sure to he a live and iciry
factor all the year.
Chicago's Double Grab
TIIIRTEUN years ago Chicago went forth and blew herself to botli pen
limits, holding n world series without any outside assistance.
Thnt incident or episode never had taken place before and it has never
happened since in any other commonwealth.
Xim- the same city is making the same bid again. Both Cubs nnd White
Sox bnve first-class chances to storm nnd hold the heights.
Kid Gleason has his people steppiug nt top speed. He has a vast amount
of bitting power aboard, and if the pitching holds up the White Sox will have
n tidy chance to win.
The Cubs have so fnr drawn -very little benefit from Grover Cleveland
Alexander.
yEV ulth Big AIct icoiking his icay into shape lliey have pounded
along among the elect, and when he is ready to join hands teith
Vaughn and 1'ylcr there should he a flock of dust along the tiack.
Referee's Decision
CASK Wil'nrd and Dempsey arc unable-to flatten each other when they
meet, the title will then go by n referee s decision.
This will be a decided change. No heavy weight championship none In
(he last thirty jears has ever changed hands over any other route than the
K. O., which is generally conclusive.
The closest cnll to a decision was Corbett's first meeting with Jeffries
over the tvvcnt -five-round distnnco.
For twenty-two lounds Corhett outpointed Jeff by a doicn leagues. He
had the argument nil bis own way until he became overconfident and strayed
in close reach of Jeff's swing.
If Corhett had been content to play it safe for a round or two longer be
would have icwou his title to a certainty, for the referee could have given the
decision no other way.
Of course, Willnrd is confident thnt he will knock Dempsey out in les
than twelve rounds.
And of course Dempsey is confident that he will knock Willaid out in lest
than twelve rounds.
BUT the chance are that the referee tcill be called upon to award
the chaplel of lain el, olive or jimson iceed, as the case may be.
"10Fl-" remarks ficorge Low, "is an 'umhlin' game." Especially when
vJT n man drives -.10 yards and shortly after misses a two-foot putt. It it
on the green that airoganco most often bits the soapy chus.
SIXCE his rampant Dodgeis began popping out nt both ends, Squire Ebbeti
has bad very little time for golf. Down in Jacksonville the Squire in
spected every trap on the course, nltcring the physical aspects of most of them
with n club tlfat closely resembled a niblick. But the Squire has no time to
spend down in pits and trnps with bis ball club where it is. Nothing to It.
