JOHN" CONWAY
USES SALESMAN'S TRICK

shows he's there to do a little red cross
work for Pat Powers.
After. all, home umpiring is not so
bad when you are the home club. II
Honest john is only here during all
our home g~ames-well, we won't need
any new players.
Getting down to the last dish, the
Rochesters certainly threw a bad scare
into us. We would have escorted Hon
est john to the cars If he had called
a hit like brakes three-base smash,
| with a Rochester man at the end of the
stick. After all, it put life into the local
crew, and they sailed in and beat the
scrappy boys from up New York State.
1t was nip and tuck yesterday until
the eighth. On the face of 1t we could
not see where the volunteer Tigers had
any license to beat the Rochesters, but
as long as we got a square deal, inc
a little more, from the imp, we don
mind.
1t was good baseball yesterday all
the way. There was plenty of free
swiping at the sphere and likewise sew
eral bases were boldly b~urglarized as
a result of the wind that swept to-
ward the backstops.
Tom Hughes pitched good ball.. His
support was not the worst he has re-
| ceived since he has been in the game,
so, as long as we won there is not a
kick coming. Fol a volunteer crew the
Tigers certainly will make the best OF
them hustle to win, sometimes.

He can field some and his whip is like

terday, but it did very little damage.
Rudy Baerwald, as Dugan calls
him, hit the ball on the nose yesterday
He tackled up one of the runs for the
locals and made himself quite a cut III
in the outield by pulling a high one
down in right centre that was labeled
a couple of sacks. All told our ath-
letes did not do so awfully bad yester-
day, though on Saturday Afternoon

Can't Blame Them.
SO il you read somewhere about men
trying TO inject winter sports into these
alleged spring days of ours don't blame
them. They have a perfect right to do
IL for they are being favored. Instead
of baseball they should be playing that
good old English game, Soccer football.
AT any rate the New York sporting
men are not going to give up the WIN
ter sports yet. This can be seen from
the fact that wrestling is still on the
CARPET. Here is what that genial TAT
Powers sent me this morning. You
know Pat doesn't depend on being
president of the Eastern League for a
living. He is the main guy IN every
big sporting event held in the big city,
and he is interested in the coming
wrestling bout.
what Powers Says.
Having but a short time to train In
for his bout with the great French
champion, Cazeaux, at Madison square
Garden Concert Hall Monday evening,
May IL, Tom Jenkins has gone into &C
tive training at a new place he has dis
covered in the Catskills. Jenkins is a
great believer in open air work, n
will devote most of his time to setting
his wind in proper condition by long
climbs up the mountain side n sprint
ing on the level stretches of ground.
Tom says he is in very good condition
at present, but wants to demonstrate
that he is still a great wrestler, and
able to cope with the best, so he is I'M
dergoing a strict preparation for the
coming bout. In addition he knows
that Cazeaux is considered the best
man seen here from France in years,
and as the sturdy French grappler has
defeated all the men he has met on this
side Jenkins does not want to be caught
mapping"
jenkins on Earth Again.
I can see only one thing in this Mr..
,Jenkins's return to the mat. He mas
set sail for the Frank Gotch boat again.
and that is why he is going to reenter
the wrestling game again. Jenkins is
one of the few wrestlers who had head
enough to allow a willy business nan
ager to steer him through the trouble-
some sea of wrestling, and he per-
mitted these men to make all his
matches, and was always satisfied
with the outcome. There were other
wrestlers, you know, as good as Jen-
kins, but when their managers made
matches for them they baked If they
did not get every penny which they
thought they ought to get. This al
ways raises trouble, and their troubles
becoming aired in the public prints
drew the game into disrepute. These
managers had to drop out Of the game,
and with them went their meal tickets.

He Loses His Memory and II
Helps Us Beat Out
Rochester.
BY KIDDO.

When John Conway, of Webster,
Mass, in the winter worked on the
road as a travelling salesman, his friends
advised him to take up umpiring. Not
that the office sought the man, but John
was too honest to sell cigars. He took
up umpiring right away. 1t grew on
him., but his best friends would not
tell him that he was a better salesman.
They trusted to his honesty to pull him
through. So, when he hit Pat Powers's
circuit a couple of springs ago. we knew
hat Honest John Conway would
give the home club a chance now and
then.
John Conway is Honest john still.
He will never be anything else. But
you know a drummer. especially one
selling cigars, has to say a few things
on the side to make good with trade.
John tries the same game in baseball.
He let brakes smash go for three bags
yesterday. John had forgotten that he
told Buckenberger a hit into the crowd
was two bases. But you see it was
John the salesman instead of John the
ump. Anyway it got joni in mighty
bad with Rochester, on account of the
salesman trick, but Honest john will
get the cakes here when bad Bill Sui
livan, the nowhere's near umpire, will
receive the rocks.
We can certainly say a good word for
Honest John" now, sven if he hands it
to us on the road, we can pray for him
in the home series, for John can see
plavs throuPh the same eyes as the
bleacher fans, and that is what we need
in the days of volunteer teams. John
has been taking pity on our misfit
aggregation and has made himself solid
~hereabouts by slapping on a IS dirt
ordinance fine on Moroney, the Roches-
ter law violator. and chasing Holly, Nc
Lean and Frosty Bill Duggleby. All
these things help Honest john" 1t

That Butcher Boy" known as John
Piening, was one good man on the mat.
But he was showed out of the game
because he wanted to count up the
box ofice before he would go and
wrestle. Jenkins is not of this kind.
He-is a wise Englishman, who goes
into a deal and stands on his contract.
If his managers make something on
| the side he doesn't care. Just give him
his and that is all that Is necessary.
| lie is making money today while the
others are not heard from at all.
That Game Saturday.
Those who saw that game Saturday
between the Tigers and the Rochester
Broncos and heard Umpire Conway call
the game on account of darkness, were
astounded at the act of that official.
Conway would have been justified in
calling the game in the fourth inning,
when the visiting team acted like a lot
of cut-ups. If there was ever a time
for an umpire to act it was then.
When he was obliged to call in two
police officers and have a player re-
moved the player insisted on making
a clown of the official. Conway ran to
the bench and warned the team, and
when he went behind the bat he had to
turn around and warn the team again,
with the ~admonition that If the players
did not act properly he would forfeit
the game. A few minutes later he had
to go to the bench and chase Pitcher
Mclean, but he did not forfeit the
game, and it vas raining pretty hard
at the time. Manager Stallings has
! protested the game, and I do hope that
President Powers will seek some re-
liable information from the official
scorer before he acts hastily in this
matter. Stallings certainly deserves to
get what is coming to him.
About Ladies' Day.
Manager Stallings told me Saturday
that he is In receipt Of letters from
lady fans asking him about the adj
mission part on ladies' day. I told Mr..
Stallings that he should see the lady
who writes home recipes and have her
insert an article on ladies' day there.
Women, as a rule, do not read sports.
But their husbands and sweethearts
do, and Manager Stallings would like
to have every male fan tell every
female fan that ladies' day means that
the fair sex are admitted to the grounds
and to any part of the grand-stand
without charge. All the money they
need is car fare to and from the
grounds. Male fans will please take
notice and peddle the good news along
and oblige George T.
