Jack Sheridan as an Umpire.

Jack Sheridan. the veteran indicator
handler, and undoubtedly one of the
very best men who ever held down the
strenuous job, got in somewhat bad
with the Washington fans when he
umpired the series of games there re-
recently. and loud were the comments
and many were the unfattering re-
marks that were hurled at the sturdy
fellow woth the fog-horn voice. But
after the smoke of battle had cleared,
and when the players of the opposing
clubs got together in a calm and
equable state, the general opinion
among them was that Sheridan's work
was gilt-edged.
Sheridan had a similar experience
one day last summer in a ten-inning
contest between Addie Joss and Cy
Young. when the score was a close one
and when nearly 10000 fans worked

Detroit Free Press.)
When the clouds of gloom are blacklist.
And when the skies are dark as ink;
Get away from things diSJTacting.
Quit the sham. the useless acting,
Draw away from all the hustle.
All the turmoil and the hustle.
Go somewhere alone, and think.
When you're facing problems mighty,
And you stand upon the brink;
Steal an hour from the battle.
Leave its glamOr. quit its rattle,
Draw away from all the hurry,
From the men and man-mada worry,
And alone in silence, think.
All, the mighty men, who conquer,
And the men whose words we drink
Are the men who quit the jangle,
Quit the turmoil and the wrangle
OF the world. and turn their faces
To secluded, silent places,
Where in solitude they think.

Umpire Tim Hurst is quoted as say
ing that he always calls a runner out
who slides into first base 1t is hardly
probable that Tim said anything like
that or he would be admitting that he
errs in many of the decisions he makes
at the initial sack. But it brings up
an interesting point.
Does a player reach first quicker by
sliding?
Many hold that the base runner
slides to deceive the umpire, while in
the alleged interview Tim is made TO
say that the player slides because he
feels sure the ball has him beaten

A SECOND
JACK DEMPSEY
Tad Says KetCheII Is a Fighter
Who Has No Equal
Today.

This Montana cowboy is surely the
greatest fighter we have had in years
Billy Delaney was right when he called
him a second Jack Dempsey.
Ketchell is what a sporting writer
would call a model fighter. You see
very few letters written by him looking
for boosts. His manager is not run
ming all over the country d la Burns
telling what a great man he has under
his wing.
Ketchell fights. His battles tell the
tale. Like Battling Nelson, he waits
until he ticks the whole blooming bunch
before he starts shooting off the CAB
work. If other fighters would do more
fighting and less talking We might have
more champions.
Who ever heard Of Ketchen before
he fought Joe Thomas at Marysviile?
We all asked, Who is this fellow?
Ketchell was extremely quiet He met
Thomas again and beat him. They
thought that fluke until he repeated
and gave Joe the hardest fight ever
seen in a Frisco ring.
sulIivan's Fall by Wayside.
Clever Mike Sullivan, who was a
Rockefeller in cleverness, tried TO stop
the cowboy. One punch-it was over.
Brother Jack Sullivan, much big
ger man, tried to get even for the
brother. He took a licking for twenty
rounds and blew up
Two clever boys fell by the waysde
and then they tried that rough, tough
old lad, Billy Papke.
Ketchell fought him i'm his favorite
town. Papke is a big favorite in the
beer town. If there was a chance, Bill
would have won. Ketchell made il so
one sided that there was no other de-
cision to give.
Jim COffroth and those other Frisco
promoters surely have a live one in
Ketchell. They say that he is with
out doubt the toughest fellow in the
world. He is a slasher. If there ever
was one, and a fighter who really loves
to fight.
He laughed at Papke Thursday night
when the latter stumbled over the ropes.
He acted the part of the gentleman,
too, when Papke slipped in a wet cor
ner. He wanted TO win without taking
advantage, and he did.
They say that he is outgrowing the
middleweight limit and will soon be-
come a heavy.
viii side-stepping Tommy demand
$4,000 to fight him? Ketchell is a bit
light for a big fellow like Johnson.
In six months, however, he might
be able to give Sam Fitzpatrick's tar
baby a fight that would thrill US.
Oh, welcome a fighter who will fight.

Mr.. Fan, it is up TO you 10 boost.
The Utah Baseball league is now A
matter of fact. and only those who
have been interested in the organiza-
ton of it know of the work il has tax
en- to start off. Not a single person
so interested will receive one cent for
his time, to say nothing of the days
and weeks of worry to give you. the
fans of Utah, the best article of base
ball that is possible under the present
conditions. The article of ball fur
nished may not be as good as some
would like, but it is the best that can
be had at present, and il is hoped this
league will lead up to something bet
ter next year. Whether it will or not
depends TO a great extent upon the
support given the teams in the vari-
Gus towns this year. If you think this
or that team should be strengthened or
a certain player should be secured, just
stop and remember that the men in
charge of the teams probably think the
same, and it is not done for the lack
of funds, The league will furnish the
best grade of ball that it can. and its
energies can only extend To the limit
of the receipts.
Tired of Waiting.
Utah had good baseball, as good as
any person could ask, when Salt Lake
and ogden were members of the Pacif-
ic National league. There is no doubt
both towns could raise funds TO again
enter such a league. but unfortunately
il seems impossible TO interest the coast
towns in Salt Lakes ability to support
such a league. For three years this
city has been waiting for the opportu-
nifty to show itself, but it seems as far
away today as 1t ever did. In the
meantime must the fans of Utah sit
down and bemOan the fact that they
cannot see a ball game? There are
some who think not, and these few
have gone ahead and taken it upon
themselves to furnish the best article
possible until the time arrives when
better grade can be given 1t has been
uphill work, and the results of two
months labor are now up to the fans
TO accept or reject. as they see fit.
How to Get Results.
And there is only one way to bring
the coast towns TO Utah and compel
recognition. That is by the attendance
al the state league games. The men
at the head of baseball all over the
country are in il for the financial re-
turns There is no sentiment in il with
them; they have to be shown where
there is more money in their pockets
by expanding toward Utah. The only
way to convince them it is a good bust
ness proposition is TO show them by
the crowds that attend the games. Let
il be known on the coast that Salt Lake
turns out thousands in its little state
league and il Will not be long before
agents of the coast league will visit
this city and see these things for them
selves. Then the expenses of the trip
10 Utah and back to the coast will be
figured out, and if the gate will show
a profit after expenses are paid. you
could not keep the coast league out of
this state with d siege gun or an cpl
demic of smallpox. 1t is therefore up
to Utah to show the coast cities that
it is the greatest sporting center, pop
ulation considered, in the world.
Mr.. Fan, il is up to you 10 boost.
