At the age Of forty William Aymar Lar

BY his achievement Larned equaled the
record of Bob Wrenn as a four-time
champion, which is only surpassed by
that of Richard d. Sears, who held the
title from 1881 to 1887. inclusive.
In the recent tournament Larned defeat

The result shows that his hard hitting

REFORM NEEDED IN
TALK ON DIAMOND

Recent dispatches say that Hughey Jen-
troit team. and silk" O'Loughlin the
sren-toned umpire. have been warned by
throat specialists that their vocal cords
are giving way under the strain and that
they are in danger of losing their power
of speech. says Fred L. Weede in the
Pittsburg Press. In this again can be
seen the irony of fate.
Nobody objected to the things Jennings
said. He had a cry peculiarly his own.
The vocal explosions of both the man.
ager and the umpire added to the novelty
of the game. Now if any one mixed up
in the base ball game must lose his voice
why couldn't it be "Muggsy" McGraw
manager of the New York Giants and
branch of sport.
President Ban Johnson of the American
League recently punished Delehanty. a
Washington player, for alleged filthy talk
to the umpire. But I do not recall an
instance when the umpire put a player
out of the game for ckguarding a fell
low player. The umpire takes offense if
he is made the target of dirty epithet.
but where does the protection for the
player come in. Certainly there are
plenty of them who are gentlemen and
who resent gutter language.
I was told the other day of the recent
performance of McGraw in Pittsburg
when lie wanted to rattle one of the
Pirates pitchers.
He slipped down the coaching line and
