The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-13

Chicago, June 12-The winter dope about the top-heavy strength of the wes- tern clubs in the American league has been sadly punctured, according to the opinion of President Charles Comis1ey, of the White Sox.
 The grizzled diamond warrior and mag nate boldly declared that the east had a splendid chance of winning the American league championship pennant this season.
 "The western clubs have nothing on the teams fro mthe east this year." said Comiskey, ''as all of the invading teams have been wonderfully strengthened and are playing fast ball. Philadelphia, Bos- ton and New York are playing a snappy brand of ball, and that Is what wins championships. Washington, too, Is much stronger. The Athletics are going like a whirlwind, and with their twirlers work ing in the style they are now travelling at, I feel certain that Connie Mack will make somebody hustle for the rag.
 When the western teams complete their first eastern trip" added Comiskey '1t will not be difficult to size up the strength of the White Sox or the De- troit Tigers. I would not be greatly sur

Taft Aids I11 Defeat
 Of Champion 7rdUis

Washington, June 12.-President Taft added another notable golf game to his credit today when playing as a partner in a foursome with c. Allan Lard of the Chevy Chase club of this city. He helped to defeat Vice President sherman and Walter J. Travis. the international champion, by a score of up and to play.
 It had been intended that MT Taft should play with MT. Travis and that the vice president should be paired with MT. Lard, but on the way out to the links it was decided that as the Presi- dent, a self-styled "bumble puppy" had a shade the best of the vice president, a self-announced dub" and that as Travis was rated higher than Lard it would be ''too easy for the President and Travis to play together.
 It was the President who won for his team Travis and Lard made equal scores of IS, leaving the result of the match to the play of the President and vice president, MT. Sherman. MT Sher- man was decidedly off in his game and ran up a total of 116 strokes for the IS holes. The Presidents score was not an- nounced, but it was well under that turned in by the vice president In foursome they combined the scores or their opponents in deciding the winning Of

Umpire BYien Roasted
 All Around He League

Not only in Birmingham, but every where he has appeared, Umpire OBrien, whose decisions have cost the Barons two games this season, is very unpopu- lar.
 Everywhere they are next to him and his eyes are evidently burning.
 The Nashville American says: Down in New Orleans they dc not appreciate Um- pire OBrien any more than they do in Slagtown. Where they make iron hearts, they call his umps fuming fend from Frisco. In New Orleans, they are politer, and call the gent a robber and a sneak"
 The Arkansas Gazette contains the fol- lowing: "O'Brien is evidently trying to have all managers in the league ask that he be removed to a climate far remote. New Orleans has protested against his working there. where he got in bad last year and followed 1t up this year. In Birmingham officers saved him from mob violence and his exhibition yesterday was gruesome. There Is bound to be some fire where there is so much smoke"
 The following Is from the Nashville Banner: Ut was not quite plain why O'Brien shooed Boucher and Mike Finn so unceremoniously in the first. Boucher was called out by Carpenter, who was watching the bags and as he passed O'Brien, appeared to express his disap-

the holes. The afternoon was ideal for golf
 The President appeared in his usual golfing suit The links were crowded with players today but it is matter of etiquette at the Chevy Chase club that no gallery shall follow the Pres idential foursome." The four players and four caddies made up the little party which, starting around at 3:45 p. m, fin- ished the eighteenth hole shortly before clock. Allen Lard, who played with the President today, is rated as one of the best amateurs in the country. He is a member of many clubs and came on from Chicago especially to play in the Presidents s game. Mir. Travis came from New York. Lard went to the finals with Travis in the recent open tournament ot the Chevy Chase club, but was badly beaten in the windup. He played a stronger game today than he did in the tournament and kept pace with the cham pion stroke for stroke.
 The President also played an excellent game His driving was particularly good. The President plays a careful method ical game. He keeps his eye on the ball with excellent judgment of direction and drives with great force. It is in the short game that his scores begin to climb. MT. Travis declared today that the Pres ident has few faults as a golfer and that with more practice he will make an ex- cellent player MT. Travis was a guest of the President at dinner at the White House tonight.

Barons Are Nearing The 500 Mark
EnSIey EIks Defeat The
 JOIly EIks Of Birmingham

It was a great game that the Elks of Birmingham and Ensley played yesterday afternoon. Hit and run was the order and as a consequence the spectators enjoyed the game thoroughly. Each team scored in every inning except two and as the score was in the main even, the game was not decided until the last ball was thrown in the last inning
 The roofing of the Ensley contingent was terrific and materially helped the steelmakers to win the game. College games, amateur games or professional games never had a more persistent crowd of rooters than did the team from the Steel City.
 As to the players everyone did his best and to the credit of both teams, when the issue was in the balance, neither team lost their nerve Special mention might be made in regard to the pitchers of both teams Notwithstanding the fact that each was hit freely they came up smiling on each occasion. For the Birmingham team the work of the battery was exceptionally good. Ross pitched fine game, while the work of Hicks, who did the rece1Y-

prised to see the honors go east this sea- son.
 It Is no surprise that wiseacre like Comiskey is handing out that sort of dope. Including yesterdays games, the eastern teams have chronicled 27 victories to "A for the west while one contest was a drawn battle. St. Louis has made the best showing against the eastern clubs by winning nine and losing four. The Browns took four straight from Wash ington, two out of three from the Ath- letics, split even in four games with the Yankees and shut out Boston Sunday.
 Detroit has won six and lost six. The Tigers took two out of three from the Tanks, won one and lost two with the Red Sox, won one and lost three to Phil adelphia, and defeated Washington Sun day and yesterday.
 The Maps have made a sorry showing, winning three and losing eight. They lost three straight to New York and Boston, broke even in four games with Washing ton and beat Philadelphia yesterday. Six wins, seven defeats and one tie Is the record of the White Sox. Comiskey's team dropped four to the Athletics di- vided honors in four games with the Red Sox, won two lost one and tied one with Washington, and won the first two games in the series with the Yankees

 Maynard played a steady game at first. The rest of the team did well. Moore, erstwhile college pitcher. played heady game throughout and with a coolness that was phenomenal held the opposing team down. Even when the tide seemed against him he pitched with a sang froid that was remarkable. Tony Miehls, Jim Bonner and Tom Roe played great ball. Bobb Daniel, in addition to hitting the ball every time he came to bat, made running catch that was the feature of the game
 The most pleasant feature of the game was the good nature that prevailed throughout and total absence of wran- gling and other disagreeable features.
 MT. Mooney of the News umpired the game and to say he gave satisfaction to both teams is the highest praise he could receive. The score:

HECK MAN STAYS
 WITH MOBILE TEAM

Montgomery. June 12.-( -(SpeciaL)- Manager George Reed of the Moolle team was asked today about the re- port that he was to trade Gordon Hick- man for Second Baseman Cranston Of the Memphis team.
 Reed stated that the inquiry was the first informatio that he had received that any such trade was in the wind and that there was nothing absolutely in it.
 Much interest was manifested by the Mobile players 4n the proposed trade today, but all looked upon it more as a joke than anything else as Hickman is too popular with the Mobile fans to be thought of in trade with any player in the league.
