SUSPECT COLGATE YOUTHS
 OF AUTO KILLING
Machine Answering De- scription of One In Acci- dent Carried Four Men and Colgate Banner.

POLICE SUSPECT F'xitup
 Four bare headed youths speeding towards New Haven Saturday morn ing i'll a big red car with a Colgate banner streaming from the front of the machine, are believed by the police now to be identical with the quartet whose car killed John DeMartino of Stamford, Saturday night, and sped away without stopping to see what were the effects of the collision.
 Information of this car was volun teered to the police today by citizens who have interested themselves with the running down of the mysterious four. The citizens believe the Col gate banner and appearance of the party indicated that they were col legians bound from Hamilton, N. Y., where Colgate is located, to the game in New Haven.
 Determined to run down every clue, the police took steps today to have the faculty of Colgate assist them in locating the culprits or establishing the identity and innocense of the Col gate party. While the police grant that many automobiles doubtless came from Colgate to the game, they hold it very likely that the color of the car and the appearance and number of the occupants tallies with the description given by spectators.

PITCHERS MUST NOW
Use GRAY MATTER

The bell is almost ringing for the
two greatest pitchers in the National
league. Christy Mathewson and Nor
decai Brown are nearly done, SO far
as the speed, the fooling curves and
the general mechanical execution are
concerned. Other pitchers, handicap
ped as they are now, would have
been shunted to the soup before this
time, but these two hold on, and win
game, after game, because they have
the think tanks
Both Brown and Matty are being
slammed hard all the time. and as the
days go by they get 1t harder. Even
their wizard like control Is not what
it used to be.
When the records are made out for
1910, they will show that more hits
per game were made off Brown and
Matty Than ever in their previous
career, and that they have issued
more bases on balls. But they win,
and after all, it's winning games that
count, no matter whether you hold
the foe to three hits or thirteen.
Those two old foxes are worth a
dozen fast youngsters even now, and
the way they win Is the grandest dis
play OF actual pitching art that the
game can show.

May RECRUIT jumps
FROM The PLAYERS

The proposed plan to secure major
league umpires from the ranks of he
players seems to be an excellent i1ta.
There are several players at present
VINO are on the verge OF dropping our
OF fast company who would no DOUBT
become efficient officials Big "Yic"
Willis, of the st. Louis cardinals, for
instance, is about ready to drop out
after this season. He stills shows
flashes of his old form, but 1t was
quite noticeable in his last perform
ances that Willis loses his effective
ness after four or five hard innings.
Like Dineen, who has made good in
the American league. Willis has every
qualification for the job, and Presi.
dent Lynch, of the National league
would make no mistake in making
this appointment for next year
Frank Sparks, who was recently re-
leased by the Phillies, and who is
now pitching for Chattanooga in the
Southern league, would also make an
ideal umpire.
In a recent interview President
Lynch expressed himself as being an
advocate of higher salaries for UNI
pires, High salaries would attract a
higher class of men to umpire. Star
players who have been in the habit
Of earning from $4,000 to $4,000 a year,
could be introduced to take a job as
umpire at their old salary rather than
go to a minor league at a reduced fig
ure. At the same time the umpire
could be made sort of reward for
many years of good service as a player.
The National league is certainly in
bad way for umpires
Poor umpiring tends to develop row.
dy tactics, and the errors of judgment
on the part of the officials spoil many
game for the spectators and unduly
excite the fanatics. With all the other
uplifting tendencies with which the
game is being surrounded the umpire
question should not be overlooked. II
is just as important as the building of
new stands and other improvements.
The additional expense of getting to-
gcther a good staff of umpires as sug-
gested by Mr.. Lynch should not bring
any objections from the club owners.
The American league has pretty
fair umpiring staff, bur Pres. Ban
Johnson has hit upon the idea of hav-
ing scout to keep on the lookout
for any good official that may be devel-
oped by the minor leagues, and has APP
pionted Jack Sheridan to this position.
Ball clubs have out their scouts for
star players so why should not the
league send out man to look for. star
umpires, who are scarcer than ~star
players.
