hard as ever, but the luck of the game
Is against me, that's all. The next

AMERICAN LEAGUE WILL

There will be eight umpires in the

Sheridan discovered both of these
men and has attested as TO their abil-
ity to the head of the American
league. Johnson Immediately arrang-
cd to engage their services for 1911
Johnson will also re-ongage Sheri-
dan next season, but his duties will
be more general than this year.
There will be two umpires for every
game played, and in case one of the
eight is off duty on account of sick
ness or injury, Sheridan will be rush
cd to the scene to be the other
umpire.
Both Finneran and Mullen are good
sized men. and IL is known that John
son has instructed Sheridan to seek
only TAN men in the future.
At present a short man is hampered
when he tries to umpire i'm the Amer
.can league. Johnson has received
many complaints because of bad de-
cisions. and he has discovered that
these were rendered by small men
working behind such backstop giants
as Sweeney of the Highlanders. stan
age of the Tigers. Thomas of the Ath :
lctics, and others.
One of the reasons assigned Tor
Kerin's exit from the American league
was that he was not tall enough ana
could not get a direct line on plays
when working Oehind the plate.

EDDIE M'COORTY
Is GOING ABROAD
CLEVER OSH kOSH MIDDLE
WEIGHT WILL MAKE SECOND
TRIP ACROSS POND TO
GET FIGHTS.

Calumet fight fans, who remember
Eddie McGoorty from his fights i'm
the copper country. will be Interested
to know that the young Oshkosh mid
dleweight is going abroad again, this
time under the wing of Hugh McIn-
tosh, of Australia, who is taking Il
well filled stable of mitters with him.
McGoorty fought two ten-round fights
here with Art Allard of Lake Linden,
decision.
M,Goorty has been nursed careful
ly by Pat Callahan, his uncle and
manager, with the result that he is
now one of the prominent contend
ers for the middleweight champion
ship. The probabilities are strong
that he will gain the coveted title this
coming winter or I'm another year at
tile latest. He had acquired quite a
reputation as a clever boxer before he
went abroad last fall. Then he in
vaded Ireland and England and put
away practically all of their best
fighters over Petty officer Curen, a
heavyweight, who had some claims to
the championship along with half a
dozen others.
He came back and boxed a 10
round no-decision bout with Hugo
Kelly at Milwaukee, the opinion of
the critics being that he showed cali
Der I'm the encounter. His experience
on the trip with Mcintosh should en-
able him to improve his generalshir
and develop him i'm other respects
one of his matches abroad will be
with Tom Thomas, the middleweigh'
champion of England, whom he tried
to meet on his former trip across th'
water. Thomas conscientiously avoid
ed him and Eddie was compelled t'
return minus the scalp of the Eng
lishman. He will fight two other mel
to be selected by Mcintosh. johnny
Thompson Is another who will battl'
abroad under the Mcintosh manage
ment He already has left for Aus
tralia with Billy Papke.
