KICKING IN AMERICAN
LEAGUE LESS THAN EVER
Question Is Raised Whether the Umpires
Are Better in Johnson's League Than
inNationalor Under Better Control.

Is the umpire staf OF the American
League so much superior to that Of the
National. or are the American League
players just naturally more amenable
to decisions? One thing Is plain to
everybody who attends games in both
leagues. and that IL there Is consider
ably less kicking in the American.
There have been cases too numerous to
mention Of players being fired of the
field and suspended in the National
League this year. while such cases in
the American can be counted on the
fingers OF one hand.
Whether or not IL Is the umpiring,
the American League players accept de-
cisions with better grace than their
National confreres. And yet huma n
nature must be the same in both
leagues. The umpires In the American
League are quite as human as In the
National and make mistakes, yet what
kicking there is is quietly done and

cember, 1908, then under the fourth as

tienz Of the first assistant postmaste

seldom progresses so fas as to provoke
the scenes so frequent in the National.
IT almost seems as IL there is a bond
OF consideration and mutual respect in
the American between player and UNI
pire which reduces fault finding to .
minimum
The system In the American League
Is TO switch umpires daily from plate
to bases: in the National one man is
behind the bat all the time and one
on the bases all the time. That plan
does not teach versatility, but has its
merits in that il offers more opportu-
nifty for an umpire to become letter
perfect. Still, switching might bring
about Improvement by reason Of doing
away with sameness.
1t may be that the American League
umpires make fewer wrong decisions.
and again 1t may be that poor decisions
do not attract as much attention in the
American for the reason that less kick
ing gives them less prominence. Be
the fault whose Ii may craftsmanship
as between players and umpires is
much higher in the American League
than in the National.

"HAPPY" SMITH MAY
JOIN OUTLAW LEAGUE

BROOKLYN. August 16.-From San
Jose. in the Outlaw Coast League, comes
q dispatch that Happy Smith. formerly
with the Superbas, has Joined that team.
Smith was secured from Chicago with
Tony Smith and Davidson In the deal
for Mcintyre. Happy did not give the
local team his best service and was list
less and entirely lacking in ambition. He
complained that he was sick and wanted
to get back to the coast. He asked to
be allowed to 80 back there to get in
shape. President Ebbets put the matter
up to Manager Dahlen and the latter
stated that Smith was Of no use to the
team. The player went home and was
released by the Brooklyn club to Roch-
ester in the Eastern League. Smith
told Mr. Ebbets that he would get some
team out on the coast to buy his release
from the Brooklyn club. but as Smith
stood Brooklyn about 5000. and there
was little chance of his becoming able
to get more than $500 for his release. Mr..
Ebbets could not see where he was to be
gamer. II Smith plays with San Jose
he will be barred from organized base
ball and will also be subject to a fine.

CLARKE GRIFFITH
Is after ESMOND

NEW YORK. August 16-Manager
Griffith Of Cincinnati is trying to put
through a deal for Third Baseman Es-
mond Of the Jersey City club. and will
probably succeed in doing so. The Red
leader went to Philadelphia with the
team but expects to return tomorrow to
try to come to terms with the Jersey City
officials for the services of Esmond.
This youngster looks like the real goods.
He belongs to the Pittsburg club under
an optional agreement. but President
Dreyfus assured Grin that he will relin-
quish claim on him in case a deal can
be made for him. Barney is well forti-
fed at third base with Byrne and Nc
Kechnie, and does not need this young
fellow. All Eastern Leaguers speak In
high terms OF Esmond's ability, both as
q fielder and a hitter. The chances are
very good that he will not report until
the latter part Of next month, after the
Eastern League season is over.
