COAST LEAGUE LEADERS
SPLIT ON UMP QUESTION
Vote of Directors on Hen Berry'S
Request Results
in Tie

Will Hen Berry be able to convince the
northern coast league magnates-that
is, a sufficient majority of them-tbat
the double umpire system is one of the
crying needs of the southland?
Thus far the Hon. Hen, working hard
and long, has not swung his point. The
Coast league directors met in San
Francisco Thursday, and after a count
of the ballots 1t was found tie vote
had been recorded regarding another
indicator man.
According to the proxies and MEM
bers present, Los Angeles, Vernon and
Portland favored an increase to the
staff, but San Francisco, Oakland and
Sacramento constituted themselves a
solid three and opposed the wishes of
the extreme north and south points on
the league map.
The San Francisco sporting writer's
have taken up Los Angeles plant re-
garding umpires and are advocating
the desired change. Northern scribes
declare the staff of umpires doing duty
in the Coast league is equal to that of
any minor organization in the country,
but also declare it is impossible for one
man to do full justice to the finer
points of the game. They demonstrate
this by citing snapshots of plays in
which the Indicator man decided diff
ferently to the evidence Photographic
ally obtained, and are all desirous that
Berry make good his talk and secure
another indicator man for this section.
Walter McCredie has reclared him
self in favor of an eight-club league for
next season. The Portland manager
states that his home city, Seattle and
Spokane could more than, hold their
end If allowed francsises, and is hope
full the other clubs in the league will
agree to the addition of the two north
western burgs.

SHERIDAN WILL SELECT

CHICAGO, July 29.-Sheridan, tho
veteran umpire who recently retired
from active service on the American
league baseball staff, yesterday visit
ed President Johnson to receive his
instructions for the new duties which
will devolve on his shoulders. Sheri-
dan is to hold forth in a new role from
now on, according to the league exc
cutive. In a way the veteran will
serve as chief of umpires and at the
same time travel around the country
in quest of new and promising talent
for umpires.
The arbiter staff of the league this
year has suffered from the loss of two
officials and President Johnson pro-
poses to invest Sheridan with the
power to hunt up new timber.
Phelps was three up at the end of the
morning round and Wood was unable
to improve his game in the afternoon.

Vernons chance arrived in the fourth
inning. Roy Brashear led off with a
single that carried him on to third
base when Wolverton tossed the ball
over Cameron's head. Coy sent long
fly to center, and Roy scooted for
home as soon as the ball struck Willie
Hogan's mitt. Hosp singled to center
and Lindsay was passed. Browns
contribution, CutshaW to Wares, cut
off Lindsay's life at second base, and
when the runner pulled toss from
Thomas, which went wild, Hosp
scored and Brown went to third. Will
lett slapped one to center and Tailed
his compatriot, but Carlisle added only
a pop fly to the cause of Hogan.
Slim Nelson started trouble when he
lofted one toward the sky at the open
ing of the fifth round. The ball went
high into the sun field and Carlisle
was unable to face it, Nelson taking
two bags before the leather was back
in proper custody. Here the slim tWirl-
er was overcome by vertigo, and re-
tired from the game, Carroll taking
his place to complete the circuit. The
newcomer started right by purloining
third, and w. Hogan took a turn at

Wares singled to center, scoring Car
roll and tieing the score. Maggert

up a station when no one covered

FIGHTING TALK IS
At PREMIUM HERE
MCCarey Silent Regarding Match
Tentatively Arranged for
Next Month at Vernon
CoFFR0TH IS TURNED DOWN
South San Francisco Powers De-
mand Back Pay from Sum-
shine Promoter

Take the glare of the searchlight off
all local fight talk. With the ring
game canned at Maud junction, but,
with Vernon still open to his club
Uncle Tom McCarey has suddenly de-
cided he doesn't know a thing and re-
fuses to talk shop in any of its phases.
McCarey was expected to put Danny
Webster and Sammy Keller on at the
Vernon arena early next month, but
thus far there has been nothing do
ing. Neither of the boys has started
in to train, and the inference is that
McCarey has decided to remain q nom
entity until things resume their normal
condition and some of the anti" talk
making the rounds is forgotten.
Just how things can go wrong with
McCarey-so long as the Vernon trus-
tees are willing-is a question for the
lawyers to decide, but If Mac put on
such matches as the Keller Webster
affair there could be no reasonable
kick made from any direction. Sammy
and Danny are not what may be
termed "assassins." and as the fans
are beginning to feel pangs of hunger
for their fayorite sport it Is about
time a move of some kind was made,
unless McCarey intends to retire for
all time.
Northern promoters seem to be up
against it, despite the official sane
tion of San Frnciscos city executives
in regard to short bouts. Several bat
ties which were tentatively arranged
refused to go through according to
schedule, and the engineers are con-
sequently up in the air.
Even Sunny Jim Coffroth is up
against 1t. The boy with the golden
smile is some three hundred plunks
in arrears to the South San Francisco
trustees for back licenses and when
James went before them the other
night to obtain a card he was told
to bring something more tangible in
gold than his smile and auburn locks
before anything like permit would
be granted. Jim will undoubtedly
kick in, as he has nice place for his
arena and can always secure talent
which will draw the crowds.
Fighting Dick Hyland and Young
Donohue are slated to go ten rounds
Monday night in New York.
Leach. Cross, in spite of the awful
trimming Battling Hurley dealt him
recently, has match in sight with
Jack Dorman. The pair will go ten
rounds in New York August 2. Judging
from the way he handled himself with
Hurley, the cross boy, VINO was once
a fair lightweight, should go back to
plugging teeth.
Frank Mantell will also be among
those present in Gotham's squared
circles. Mantell and Dixie Kid are
signed for ten rounds Monday night,
under the auspices of the Olympic Ath-
letic club.
The northern scribes are still harp
ing on the Reno calamity. Also one
local pencil pusher has not completely
recovered.

HAPPY SMITH DESERTS
DODGERS FOR RICH GIRL

NEW YORK, July 29.-"Happy"
Smith, utility outfelder and pinch hit
ter of the Brooklyn National league
club, has deserted Bill Dahlen's bunch
and gone back to his home in Califor-
MIA. Smith quit the team in Pitts
burg.
His sudden departure was the result
of a love affair in which he was so de-
voted to the young lady from his home
town that finally he could not bear to
remain away from her any longer and
took the first train out of Pittsburg
without saying anything to either
President Ebbetts or Manager Bill
Dahlen.
According to Mr.. Ebbetts, Smith con-
fided to one of the players the infor-
nation that he was keeping company
with a young woman in San Francisco
who was worth 100000 in her own
name and that he was thinking seri-
ously OF getting married in the near
future.
