A MONG the stars who will appear
~ at the Tabs" indoor meet, to be
held on January II at the First
Regiment Armory. is Jack Monument,
winner Of the one-mile championship
at the New Orleans meet last October,
IN which he defeated such stars as Abel
Kiviat and Winton C. Paul. He also
won the junior championship in 4.24 3-5.
and experts who say the race declared
that mad the day and the track been
better Jack might have equaled Tom
Commits American record of AIS 2-5.
Monument since he started in the
running game has captured more than
$50 first prizes and he expects to annex
another at the Tab" affair. When he
was but eleven years old he was the
~schoolboy champion of Halifax.
The Rev. Father Edward Quirk, who
Is working hard for the success Of the
meet, deserves credit for securing
Monument, as Jack seldom runs in
doors. The owens twins are also as
busy as bees. Bob Ellor Is another
champion who will start in the 75-yard
Handicap. Bob is a marvel on the
boards and is in great shape. Ford
ham College is pinning her hopes on
Euor for the winning of the intercol-
leglate championship. He recorded ten
seconds for 100 yards last year and
made it in AS seconds while training.
according to reports. He is out to win
the 2%20-yard hurdles in the I. c.. M.
He wrote to Father Quirk saying that
he would surely be a starter and that
he would bring some other Fordham
athletes with him. J. P. Sullivan, the
Irish-American star. Is one Of the men
Father Quirk wants. II he is In good
shape he may compete.

Malachai Kittredge, former Montreal
manager and Washington catcher, has
turned down an offer to coach the Har-
ward team next spring. He is now man

Michigan League.
Fred Tenny will lead the Boston Ma

new of the Doves had no easy
time in getting rid of Fred Lake. He
had q contract for another year at q
salary of 5000 and the new owners
will have to assume this contract.
Mike Doolan, the Phillie shortstop,
has been signed for three years. Kitty
Bransf1eld is the only other Phillie In

Now John Camel is said to be laying

Even If Camel does get Fred Mitchell
from the Yanks, he won't be getting
"such a much" as the slang singers
say. Mitchell is about the g~rouchiest
crouch that ever had a crouch on. He
is p~erpetually q~uarreling and believes
that every man in the grandstand Is
against him. He acts more like one of
these bogus Turkish wrestlers trying to
look cruel thar a civilized ball-player.
His throwing is fierce, but his timely
batting maks him a good emergency
batsman.

"


IT HOUGH no official statistics have
been compiled, our knowledge
tells us that the proportion of
300 hitters in the minor leagues is bet
ter than not quite 10 to 1 as it is in the
majors. In most of the minors the
pitchers box is not SO elevated as in
the big leagues. In u belief the
height of these boxes is one of the con-
tributing causes of the failure to
develop 800 hitters In a better proper
ton than less than 10 to / in the
majors. Statistics Will, no, doubt. show
that since the elevation of the pitch
er's box batting has deteriorated in
h "big show" When professional
pitchers-some of them majors, at that
get in the lots where the box is rel
with the rest of the diamond the writer
has seen them get good trimmings.
In whatever else we may disagree
with Ban Johnson, we must give him
all credit for the following. which is
just about right:
When club owners Of a baseball
league decide to pass on the fitness or
unfitness of the umpires, it is time for
a change. An owner would stultify
himself were he to dictate how the UNI
pires should be handled, and 1 do not
think there is a single owner in the
American League, at least, who would
cheaper himself by interfering in
either picking or retaining the umpires.
That function belongs to the head of
the league, and If he isn't able to handle
such matters, it is time for the owners
to look for somebody else" says Presi-
dent B. B. Johnson, of the American
League, regarding the suggestion made
by the National League magnates that
a majority of club-owners could by a
vote dismiss any of the i-ndicator-han-
oilers on President Lynch's staff.
1.-The American League owners are a
unit in believing that the selection of
umpires should be left to the head of
the league" President Johnson con-
tinued. "and I would not work under
any other arrangement. 1 believe. and
1 think the majority of fans are with
me, when 1 say that baseball became
much cleaner with the added authority
of the umpires on the field and the fact
that they were backed up in their deci-
sions at all times.
IF a c~lub-owner felt that he had
legitimate complaint on the work of
some umpire, ne could appeal to the
board of directors, but this has never
been necessary with us. For the saliva
ton of h game the umpire must be
backed up. If he is incompetent II is
up to the league executive to let him
go, but 1t would mean chaos in baseball
