BASEBALL PLAYER
MAKES CONFESSION
Jack Knight Actually Admits
That IImpires Are the Best
Judges Of Close Plays.

AT last baseball player has been
found who admits that the umpire is
IN better position to Judge plays than
the player himself Jack Knight of the
New York Highlanders is the wonder in
question and there is little doubt of his
being the man for whom Diogenes has
been searching all these years
Knight turned baseball writer this
winter and In one. of his articles in the
New York Press in regard to the um-
pires, writes as follows,
An umpire. though, is usually in a
position to judge plays better than
anyone else. The man back of the bat
certainly can see balls and strikes bet
ter than anyone who is looking at the
plate from an angle. The field umpire,
being at right angles to runner, is in
the best position to Judge whether the
ball or runner reached the base first

a man on an opposing team has been

The plays at second base, i i'm

he hit the base or not. On the other
hand, the man stealing is just as un-

and almost invariably differs from the
umpire if called out.
Every umpire has his own method of
running the game, Some umpires, no.

and when any of Dicks friends in

Croker has been practically absent from
the English race track he has been
somewhat active in Ireland, and, &C,

is second on the list of winning owners

special Cable to The Tribune.

Special Cable to The Tribune.
~ ONDON, Jan. 14.-Followers of
horse racing and frequenters of
the race track in England dwell
seriously on one special aspect of
the racing activities of the year that
has Just closed. Ever since the ia.
nous horses, Iroquois. Foxhall and Val
odoski helped to make history on the
English race track, American
horses and American owners Of blood
stock have ommanded-perhaps COM
pelled-respect in English racing enter
prises 1sBossh Croker's IS Derby put the
finishing touch on a series of American
successes that have had stimulating
effect on the enterprise and activity of
American racing men operating in Eng
land
The past year has been prolific in rae
ing sensations. one of its most interest
ing features being the remarkable po-
sition won by American horses and
owners in the official records. If it
ing spirit of sportsmanship by which
of America in the records just published
would be enough to excite their ieai
ousy English breeders complain they
are suffering verv severely from the
immense number of yearlings which are
now sent to this country for sale from
the United States. Ycarlings are bred
much more cheaply in the United
States than in England, so that Amer
iean owners can afford to sell at small
prices.
Breeders and owners are petitioning
the stewards of the Jockey club to
impose a registration fee on yearlings
sent from the United States. but it is
not likely that the stewards will take
action without consulting the members
generally, and no doubt the matter will
be fully discussed at the winter meet
ing of the Jockey club in February.
Members of the Jockey club are in the
habit of taking q large view of af-
fairs. and may be trusted TO consider
we'll all the aspects of the case. 1t is
highly desirable from their point of
imposed, but the matter is by no means
so simple and easy as it looks.
American Has Enviable Position,
To occupy third place on the list of
winning owners is regarded as an en-
viabIe position even for an Englishman
with unlimited racing resources at his
r7~imand To H. p. Whitney belongs
the distinction of being the first Amer
ican in the history of the British raco
track TO achieve this feat. ard there is
feeling among close followers and
students OF the racing game that he is
making supreme efforts to challenge the
top position in 1911 In the year lust
closed he has run Lord Derby pretty
hard for second place. while in the
two years that lie has maintained sta
bic in Eugland he has made raids on
the English racing exchequer that have
added something like 100000 to his
bank balance. His winnings in stakes
alone IN 1910 amounted to close ON
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-01-15

he means to do considerable amount
of hustlipg on the race track next year,
as he feels that he has another Winki-
pop or two in his bunch of racers.
Cut Conspicuous Figure.
Other American owners who have cut
conspicuous figure on the English
race track during the past season are
August Belmont, J. R. Keene, Charles
Carroll and Louis Winans To the last
named belongs the credit of winning
the Manchester November handicap,
which is the last important engagement
of the flat racing season, while an
American bred horse, appropriately
named Columbus, annexed the Derby
cup at the tail end Of the season.
