II Is to be deplored that President
johnson cannot see his way clear TO
letting out Umpire Hurst. Tim is a
good fellow and has done fair work
III years gone by. but at the present
time his umpiring has became joke
on account of his many mistakes
Hurst could help himself out OF many
tight places II he would move around
and get on top Of the different close
plays, but he never moves out OF his
tracks, the runners obstruct his view
and then he "foozles" things by max
ing bad guesses. In the eighth inning
yesterday It looked as though the Ma
tionals had been robbed OF the game
when he declared Milan GU. at first, as
the fieet-footed outfielder bad beaten

third hand down. There were three
on bases at the time, which made the
mistake more exasperating. Manager
Cantillon ran up to Hurst with a pro-
test and as a result was chased Off
the coaching lines for the remainder
OF the afternoon. Some day Hurst
will make a bad mistake in a hot con-
test and big riot follow with dire
results. II will be too late then to

the slightest flaw in II when the
league president looks II over. Any
imperfection, no matter how little IL
may be, results In its being discard
ed.
The reason for its exactitude Is not
so much that the ball must be well
made and must look pretty. as II Is to
establish all records, which are the
test of good ball playing, from a COM
mon basis. Everything which pertains
TO batting and which has to do with
fielding is compiled with a certain
weight of ball In play day after day,
which never varies. except now and
then when the ball becomes very wet
during a storm Even then. with the
great perfection In ball making at the
present time. the difference In added
heaviness Is so slight that meme ex-
cept the pitcher who depends solely
upon curves is likely to notice II much.
Every time that player makes a
base hit on Monday, and another play
er makes base hit on Tuesday, and a
base hit on Wednesday, we know that
the conditions, so far as the ball was

what makes an "official ball" and that

The general theory in regard TO that

some manner TO the fact that the pres
ident OF the National league has look
ed the ball over and has found that II
meets all requirements. In measure
that Is right. but II doesn't more than
half cover the case.
The baseballs which are sent to the
various National league clubs for play
are inspected by the president and
each one OF them bears his signature
ANY baseball without his signature

but Is not foolish enough to fight any
assignment which he was offered. His
change In base will not AFFECT the
size OF his salary envelope In the least.
Jones has had q peculiar career
with the Detroit club, having been ON
its list for three springs In success
sion but being sentenced to serve ON
some minor-league club rs soon a the
season was well under way. He has
made each spring trip with the Tigers
and may yet make another. His work
in 1909 was far ahead of any trial per-
Torrance he had shown before and
II Is very possible that he may be a
member Of the crew that will start for
San Antonio again In 1910.
The release of Jones leaves three OF
the Tiger kits still on the club, with
one sure to 60. Speer, Lafltte, Killian
