leaders in the American association
last season.
Most of the American association
teams have been strengthened this
season and it is not unreasonable to
expect another close finish. However.
baseball dope is uncertain and any
one of the teams is likely to start out
at the opening of the season and
make a runaway race Of it. Here are
the opinions of the managers:
Heinie Peitz Of Louisville.-We won
the pennant last year: why can't we
do it again? You've got to show me.
We've strengthened our team since
the close Of last season, and although
the other clubs have also done the
same, I think we are bit stronger
than the rest. !. @ss~s

produce the letter when the commits
sion asked for it. However, two Kan.
sas City sporting writer's made afti-
davit that they had seen the letter be-
fore King lost it. Murphy produced
copy Of the letter, the genuineness
of which was not questioned.
1t was over the punishment that
was to be melted out to King that the
National commission had its wrangle.
Johnson-who, by the way, is not
friendly to Murphy-wanted to impose
a heavy fine on Killing. Hermann, the
chairman, and Lynch, the other men,
Der, would not agree to this, so when
the written agreement was prepared
it was signed only by Hermann and
Lynch, Johnson objecting to his name
being attached to it.

to start training with the Cubs at
once. and, having practiced daily in
Kansas City while waiting for the
commission to render its decision, will
be in good condition before the season
is far advanced. With Killing, Archer,
Moran and Needham as catchers, the
Cubs are stronger in the backstop de-
partment than any other club and Chi
cago fans are predicting another
worlds championship for the Windy
City.
1t is not unlikely that the case has
started a row in the National COM
mission that will not be easily patched
over and fans are expecting further
trouble in that august body.

by the commission" said Ban John

the work of Messrs. Lynch and Herr

rLUB owners, managers and play
~ era az well as the fans in Ma,
tional league cities are waiting with
great interest to see what kind of UNI
piring the games are to have this sea'
son.
Ever since Thomas ]. Lynch. once
the greatest umpire of them all, vas
elected president Of the league, It has
been understood that he would work
to bring about needed reforms in the
work Of the men who decide the plays
on the diamond.
Mr.. Lynch has added one new man
to his STAFF Of umpires, having select
ed Gus Moran from the Southern
league. Moran is an old player and Is
popular among q large acquaintance
of ball tossers. He has made good
record as an umpire and under the
direction Of Lynch ought to fill the
position in the big leagues without
trouble.
President Lynch had his umpires
meet In New York recently and they
went over the new rules. They have
explicit instructions to run the games
in an orderly manner. There will be
no more rackets like the one between
KLEIN and Evers last year which put
the great second baseman, Chance and
Steinfeld out of the game at a crit
ical stage Of the big race. The fans.
especially, want to know how Lynch
is going to turn the great national
pastime into a pink tea. It's 60
ing to be a hard job, but Lynch 10
determined to remove rowdyism from
the game. Johnny Evers Is not q
rowdy and no more .gentlemanly fel-
low plays baseball. He is high
strung, alert and brainy player.

THE National Commission. composed

the Cincinnati Reds, Thomas J. Lynch.
president of the National league, and
Ban B. johnson, president OF the
American league, after months Of dis
cussion, has decided to let Johnny
Killing catch for the Chicago Cubs.
The finding of the commission is
that Killing shall pay from his own
pocket a fine of 500; that he cannot
play with any other club for year,
and that the Chicago club shall not
pay King more than $4,000 year.
Probably no case has ever come be.

ball fan knew that King was without
a peer as catcher. His work with
the Cubs, winners Of pennants and

ard of excellency at which young
catchers aimed. With him out of the
game the Cubs fell to second place in
the National league race last year,
and while Archer and Moran did ex-

though they may be bit slow on

John McCloskey of Milwaukee-Al-
though 1 am not by any means sat
tsfied with the way our team shapes
up, prospects for good team were
never brighter. Although the team
will be mostly composed of veterans,
all the new men will get chance, and

possess the vets without more ado.
Mike Kelly of st. Paul.-After

team practically completed. It is my
opinion that we have as fine bunch
Of players on our roster as ever played

thusiastic and willing boys, most of

they will not be missed greatly, for
we have secured several crackerjack
players this winter. look to see
Rossman, Downs, Hinchman, Kelley

Ducky Holmes of Toledo.-I am
new to the association and new to my

them is true, you may look for some
stiff battles from the Toledo club this
season.
Danny Shay of Kansas City.-We
finished in the rut last year, and it is
scarcely possible that we will win out

all We can to better our position and

but the three teams had not been so

of each other.
In the past the fans often have
been disguised at fielder who threw
his glove up at a ball which he could
not catch. This probably never will
be seen again, as batter will be al
lowed three bases instead Of one If
the ball is brought down. In the past
an umpire has gone from bench to
bench getting the batting orders.
Hereafter each captain must deliver
his lineup to the official at the home
plate.
After a pitcher is ready to pitch,
q batter will not be allowed to jump
from one batter's box to the other.
This is taken to be slam at Hans
Wagner, who frequently tries to puz-
zle a pitcher in this fashion. In days
of old a runner was allowed only one
base when the ball passed the fielder
and hit the umpire, who was standing
on foul ground. Now the runner may
take as many as he can.
It is probable that little coaching
will be done from the players bench
as the umpire is instructed to fine
each player who yells or interferes
SO for the first offense. If there be
a second offense, the umpire can send
the entire benchful Of substitutes to
the club. house, the captain being
allowed to call them out as they are
needed thereafter in the game.
Never more will the term wild
pitch" or passed BALI be seen in the
summary. Both terms are eliminated
and they will hereafter be set down
as plain, unadulterated errors: When
q runner is put out between bases
the player getting the put out also
will be credited with an assist II he
makes a throw with the ball In the
play.
More work is set down for the
poor umpire. For instance, when first
and second are occupied the official
behind the plate shall, when the ball
is hit fair, run to third base and Judge
the play at that point. The field UNI
pire will remain at first to take the
play there.

COOPER IN TOLLS
Fred Cooper of Water.
ford Gets a Ride in the
Kenosha Patrol Wagon
IS TAKEN AS A HORSE THIEF

Fred Cooper, mayor Of the village of
Waterford, Racine county, and man
widely known among officials in this
section of the state, had rather eX
citing experience in Kenosha late We'd
nesday afternoon when he was arrested
as "horse thief and taken to the
police office and put through a third
degree examination. Cooper had come
to Kenosha to attend the Woodman pic
mic and late in the afternoon he had
gone to the Library Park to take a
good rest. He was resting peacefully
on the grass of the park when the pa
troll wagon backed up to the curb and
Chief O'Hare and acouple Of detec
tives leaped from the wagon and fall
ing on the mayor dragged him to the
wagon and took him off to the police
office Cooper protested his innocence
in a loud manner and insisted that he
was an official of the city of Water
ford and that his being taken by the
police of Kenosha was an outrage ex7
traordinary. Protests were of no
avail, however, and the mayor was tax
en- to the police Office. There he was
charged not only with having stolen a
horse at Burlington, but also with
working short change racket on q
young woman who was in charge of
one of the candy stands about the city.
Cooper declared that he had never seen
the horse or the girl who claimed to
have been robbed, but the police in
sisted on taking his Bertillion meas
|urements and his photograph. Cooper
declared repeatedly that he was the
mayor of Waterford, but this had no
effect on the over jealous police of
fcers and he was submitted to many
indignities. Finally friends of the
Waterford man reached the police of
fee and in noisy manner declared his
identity. Then Chief 0 Hare and the
members of the force made humble
apology to the head executive of the
neighboring city and when last seen
the entire party was heading for a
neighboring, life saving station. !"
The trip was at the expense of the
mayor and it was late in the evening
befor" he discovered that his arrest in
such a spectacular fashion had been
arranged by his friends.

FOR A BUSY SUMMER
Catholics of the State to
Have Interesting Program
at Spring Bank
WELL KNOWN SPEAKERS READY

Spring Bank, the home OF the
Western Catholic Chautauqua, on Ocon-
omowoc Lake, will open for the sea-
son Wednesday, June %.
A formal opening program will be
announced within the next few weeks.
1t is the intention of one directors to
invite Archbishop Sebastian G. Mess
mer for the opening week, but as the
archbishop expects to leave for Europe
this month, it cannot be positively
stated at this time whether he will be
at the opening.
Secretary John T. Kelly of the
Spring Bank board, is also in communi-
cation with Most Rev. John j. Glen
non, archbishop of st. Louis, and Rt-
Rev. P. j. Muldoon, bishop of Rock
ford, III. Both of these prelates will
be at Spring Bank early in the season.
Visitors to the Catholic chautauqua
will find many improvements. An ex-
perienced gardener was engaged early
in the spring and the entire grounds
have been overhauled. Nineteen acres
of the Spring Bank property have been
cultivated and Frederick Kunz, garde
ner in charge, is raising vegetables of
all kinds. This experiment will meet
with the approval of the Spring Bank
diners, as there will be an abundance
of fresh vegetables during the entire
season.
The directors are being compliment
ed on this move, especially as the cul-
tivation takes away no space from the
Chautauqua grounds. The acres are
north of the railroad tracks, and have
lain idle for several years.
The boys camp, which was such a
decided success last season, will again
be conducted by the Spring Bank exc
cutive committee. Joseph F. McMa-
hon, st. Louis, will have charge. Mr.
Mcmahon is an athlete of st. Louis
university, and his training and camp
experience fit him for the work. The
camp has the approval of Archbishop
Messmer, Bishop Muldoon, Bishop Fox,
and Bishop Schwebach.

RailroadC Commission Decides
for Farmer in Complaint
Before Commission
JACOBSEN WINS HIS FIGHT

The state railroad commission order
ed that the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company should set out cars
for loading on the Simmons switch
just north of Kenosha and haul such
cars out when loaded, and deliver load
ed cars on the said switch when re-
quested to do so by consignees.
The case grew out of complaint on
the part of c. j. Jacobsen, farmer
living few miles north of Kenosha
He alleged that the railway company
refused to furnish cars for the switch
track in his neighborhood and that for
that reason he was unable to ship his
cabbage, onions, potatoes and other
products; that he and others residing
in that vicinity have an agreement
with the owner of the land over which
the said switch track passed whereby
they are given the right of access to
said track for the purpose of loading
and unloading cars, and that during
the year 1909 and up to the present
time the respondent company has re-
fused and does refuse to set out load
ed ears consigned to petitioner and to
furnish petitioner with empty cars.
The respondent company admitted
that it had refused to furnish the cars.
Z
but explained that its reason for so
doing was that the track had always
been used as switch or storage track,
and that, the only time when cars were
set in on this track for loading or I'M
loading was when it could be done
without injury to respondents use for
other purposes.
The commission held that com
plainant had right to the use of
cars for loading and ordered the rail
way company to furnish same.
