WHAT HAS HAPPENED
TO RED" EHRET

Remember RED" Ehret, who in.
fringed around on the diamond here
last year? Well, listen to this
from San Francisco:
"The Oakland and Fresno State
leagues teams showed some speed
In their game across the bay, com.
plotting the diamond battle In one
hour and fifteen minutes. Their
getting away with tho game in such
fast time was due principally to
the activity of Phil Red" Ehret, a
new umpire signed by President
Herman, who offlciated for the first
tine. Red not only gave entire
satisfaction to fans and players
alike. but kept the boys constantly
on their toes.
Red Ehret will be remembered
as one of the star pitchers of the
National league some fifteen years
ago. For years he was the main
stay of the Cincinnati team in the
box. He knows the game like a
book and Is not the sort to be bluff
ed or bulldozed by any player. Red
is made of the stuff that makes
soox umpires."

aY Tip WRIGHT.


To Messrs. Otto Knabe and Kid
Gleason of the Phillies; Lennox OF
Brooklyn; Elberfeld of the High
landers, and Tim Hurst, American
league umpire:
Are you rough house experts
pugilists, catch-as-catch-can spe
cialists. or are you exApnents Of
the national game?
This mixing up in fights on the
DIAMOND won't do. You have nc
more right to exchange blows in
front of an audience than yor
have to commit burglary.
Every time you indulge in
broil you cheaper yourself and in
suit the men and women who pay
to see ball game. They day has
passed when rowdies can get by
and be applauded.
The case Of Knabe, Gleason ant
Lennox demands drastic action
upon the part Of Acting President
John Heydler' Of the Nationa
league, and that of Elberfeld and
Hurst calls for the same from Bar
Johnson, president of the Amer
lean league.
Knabe probably did not intend
to spike Lennox. Although he is q
dashing, brilliant player, he is not
the man to Intentionally injure any
one. l know Knabe pretty well
knew him before he broke into
fast company, and l do not hest
tate to say the spiking was unavoid.
able.
Just so long as base ball laws
permit the use of spikes, just SO
long will men be spiked.
Lennox started the trouble by
punching Knabe when he felt the
steel tear into his leg Then Glea-
son Jumped in and took punch
at the Brooklynite. Others sepa-
rated them.
Suspension Of the rOwdies, with
nSdNy IL tuC vi
warrant punishment, is the only
course for the head of the league
to pursue if base ball is retain the
plan it has reached.
The case of Elberfeld and Hurst
is similar. The scrappy Kid showed
Hurst, and the tubby one slapped
the Tennessean's face. don't
know whether Johnson has acted
upon Hurst's case. l see he has
suspended Elberfeld, however.
1t would not be surprising If the
big chief of the American league
let Tim off with a calling. or a
light fine, although if he has the
virtue Of consistency, he ought tc
descend heavily upon the umpire.
Let the punishment fit the crime
Messrs. Heydler and Johnson, for
the good of base ball.
