Charlie Doom on Baseball

Optimistic Charlie Doom, that sunny
haired block of cheerfulness, who will
manage the Philadelphia National
league team this season, declares that
the New York Giants will be lucky if
they are in the running at all during
the coming year.
In an interview Doom is quoted as
saying:
According to my notion, 1t was only
a lucky accident that allowed New
York to beat out Cincinnati last year
And I don't think it likely that the
same kind of accident will help the
Giants to repeat that feat Watch them
drop this year. They'll be lucky to fin
ish anywhere in the first division, for
both the Reds and Phillies will beat
them out"
When Doom ridded his mental works
of the above he was acting" at a the
alter in Cincinnati. and by his diplom-
acy shows that he is a perspicacious
and intelligent press agent He is to
be admired for the skill with which he
rningles business and pleasure.

Weh' System
of UmbH1ng

Within few days the baseball pub
lie of the country will have an oppor-
tunity to find out for themselves how
the several changes in the playing rules
work out in a regular game
Umpires the country over hailed with
delight the rule which made any thrown
or pitched ball in the play should it
strike the person or clothing of the UNI
pire while on foul territory. The clause
covering this play is covered in section
Z of rule "a and reads as follows:
eff a thrown or pitched ball strike
the person or clothing of an umpire on
foul ground. the ball shall be consid-
cred in play and the base runner or
runners shall be entitled to all the
bases they can make
Under the rules previous to the code
of 1910 the ball was dead just as soon
as it struck the person or clothing OF
the umpire on foul territory This rule
stood the test of time for years, but 1T
was a manifestiy unfair clause The
umpire was forced to advance al base
runners a hrsV although frequently the
-,au would not roll more than a few
sset, and had the baseman attempted
:, advance at his own risk ne would
fave tailed.
Nothing could have possibly been
more disgusting to a baseball fan IN
bygone years than TO see some game
decided in just such way l recall
game of several years ago that went
fifteen innings without score, says
Umpire Billy Evans, ftonly to have such
great contest end in a very disap-
pointing manner. In the last half OF
the fifteenth, with two down and a
runner on third, the catcher allowed a
fast shoot to triclkle through his fing-
ers 1t didn't roll more than three feet,
yet, despite the efforts of the umpire,
the ball just touched his trouser Leg
That the ball had hit him was appar-
ent, and he was forced to score the
runner from third with the run that

TN the future the base runner viii

be able to take an extra sack at the
umpire's expense. 1t will also do away
with a lot of argument, as it had be-
come customary for players in pinch
TO always insist that a short passed ball
touched some part Of the umpire's per-
son or clothing. Such kicks will now
give many thanks for this rule
Another thing that the fans viii
miss next year will be the promiscu-
ous throwing of the players hat or
glove at a batted ball hit out OF reach
It has been sort of traditional in base
bau for PLAYERS to hurl glove or hat at
the ball they could not field. some
times in spirit of anger, but oftener
simply as a joke pure and simple

approval Of the public IS the one COM

comparison with white adversaries. No
white man has so far been able to I'M
cover Johnson in this respect His
courage will have TO have a proving
and it looks as though there is no
chance for any such a trial before the
big fight.
Many of Jacks stanchest admirers
are asking themselves the question,
VIII the present life that Johnson is
leading have an effect upon his recu-
perative powers when he enters the
ring?" 1t is a well-known fact that the
colored man has been having a touch
of the CAV life-at least the frequency
with which he has been arrested for
Joy riding" indicates such.
The negro's adherents can figure that
Jeff is going to hit Johnson and hit
him hard Johnson is going to reach
Jeff. 1t looks TO be a question as to
who can take the punishment and final
ly tire the other down. If the negro
can take beating and come back
strong Jeffries is going TO be up against
the biggest and hardest proposition OF
his whole career. Courage and recuper-
alive power will tell the final story.

Prospects for
Coming Season

What team will win the pennant
the worlds championship series the
coming fan?"
Every baseball fan in the country is
to-day considering the above question
more or less now that the season has
been practically launched. With many
new faces in the line-ups, many untried
men in the ranks, and the possibility
OF injury. Gissension or a "blowup' to
any club, it is difficult to pick the win
ners.
However. about the only thing that
does seem assured is that the front di-
vision teams in each league will not
differ materially from those of last
year. With practically no great changes
in the personnel of the leading teams
tthe managers of which are likely well
satisfied. considering past perform
ances). the question simply solves it
self down to the proposition of whether
these players viii improve over their
1909 form.
In the American league the rapid de-
veiopment last year of Philadelphia and
Boston and the hard tussle that the
Tigers had to repeat for the second
time and the possibility of Chicago's
bunch of youngsters becoming phe-
MONS, makes the piking of a champion
ship team a hard matter indeed.
In the National league it is quite
likely that the leading teams of the
past four or five years will continue
to flaunt first division honors once
New York and Cincinnati appear to
have ii between themselves for the pen
nant scrap. with the phlegmatic Phil
lies a possible surprise.
Pittsburg can hardly expect to do
any better than she did last year, and
whether she wins the penant again will
depend largely on the improvement or
failure of improvement shown by the
other clubs Chicago has team of
veterans and many are predicting that
the team is due for a slowing down.
even if Johnny king, who used to be
called the brains of the Chicago
works is back on the job. Stein
feldt, Tinker, Sheckard and Schultz
showed last year that they at least are
getting no better, and it would not he
surprising if the veteran twirlers came
united this season.
New York pins her hopes for a bet
ter position than last Year to an ex-
pected Improvement in the work of
Pitchers Marquard and Ames, the
promising work of Drucke and KIawft

ing of the outfield by the substitution
of Devore for Mccormick In the in
field Merkle, the man who once I,non
a time didn't touch second, will be AT
first base in place of the veteran Ten

methods of ancient Fred may be missed
10 such an extent that he will soon
cease TO warm the bench.
Not many persons are picking De-
troit to win a fourth straight pennant
in the American. Had either Boston or
Philadelphia played early in the season
the way they did at the finish the pen
nant would never have gone to Tiger
town and it is reasonable to suppose
that these teams will strike a winning
stride early in the season this year and

HOW TO PITCH.

Now that the baseball season ha,.
started there are hundreds of young
sters who have jumped into the game
without taking the necessary precau-
tons with their arms. This is partieI-
larly SO of pitchers.
Go slow at the start is the advice
OF Mordecai Brown. who has probably
one Of the strongest and most reliable
wings in the business to-day.
In tanning bee recently Brown
spoke at length on this subject. There
were some arguments against his re-
marks by several of the younger men
present, but the consensus of opinion
among the oldtimers was that the
three fingered wonder dropped pearls
of wisdom from his lips
The majority of the youngsters who
attempt to break into the big league
