$THERE is no reason why the two major league should have the DRAFTING
season open to them at a certain period exclusively. AS Mr. Lchten-
class B league for $500. The ma is not u p to the big league standard. but
is goo enough for the Eastern.
If the major league club sells The ma it will require either $1,000 Oh

This is unfair to the elias A clubs and if the National Commission

WHITE
HOPE WILL GET
MATCH WITH ROSS

The white hope tournament, which
takes place tomorrow night at the
Twentieth Century A., c., Sixty-sixth
street and Broadway, should furnish
the real fireworks. The of Bat
thing Tony, Knockout Murphy, Scis-
sors Kelly. Jack Hopkins, Johnny Con-
nors and Joe Hollis have been added to
the long list of entries, making a total
of twenty-one heavyweights, who will
compete. Sailor White and Arthur
Pelky, who are probably the best
known to the sporting fraternity, have
been made favorites by those who saw
both men in action at the last tourney
as q great many are OF the opinion that
White or Pelky should have won the
first prize.
The big heavies entered by Charley
Rose, Jimmy Dime, Jimmy DeForrest,
George Engel, Tommy Lee, Jack Sicily.
Jimmy Rose and Billy Papke are all
world heaters. according to their opin-
ion, and a gala nights sport Is assured.
The winner of this tournament will be
matched against Tony Ross or the win
ner Of the "Porky'' Flynn and Jim
Barry fight, which takes place next
Tuesday night. Tom Sharkey is au-
thority for the statement that Barry is
the best white man in the world.

touched upon the sole of the shoe by
the catcher, as he mad the last stride

well the runner did not slide, but tried
to score standing up.)
THE player made no objection to my
decision, but the crowd set up an awful
roar and in the papers the following
day it was commented upon.
"One of the writer's afterward sympa-
thized with the player as the victim
of a poor decision and was told the
decision was right and that he was out.
The newspaper man took occasion to
hunt me up and apologize.
1T is a sure thing that the news
paper men were not biased In their
opinion of the play, but were sitting
SO they viewed the play from an angle
which made 1t impossible for them to
see the catcher touch the runner. In
addition they were a long distance
from the plate, while I stood right
over the play.
81 suppose that as long as there are
umpires their decisions will be objected
to by the fans, because of this dis
lance from the play and the angles at
which they view the play. Any fan
who will take the trouble to switch his
seat from n part Of the grounds to
another will be astonished at the diff
ference. If the same fan could get as
close TO the play as the umpire he
would see 1t through different eyes
than he does"

Arbitrator Maintains That Angle
of Vision Is Cause
of Trouble.

II have often been asked whether
Theft 'Rottenl' Robert! Are you
blinl?' from a baseball crowd botf1ers
an umpire. | can trdthfully say they
do not" says Umpire William Brennan,
of the National League.
THE great percentage of spectators
usually roots for the home team, II
any decision against the team may
bring forth such remarks.
Most people attending a ball game,
especially IL the home team wins, for
get grievance against an umpire by the
time the next game starts, but In some
small cities in minor leagues CROWDS
have been known to throw bottles,
rocks and mud at an umpire, and in
some cases have inflicted bodily harm.
I recall but one such case in the ma
jor leagues, and that resulted In Sc
riously injuring Umpire Evans, of the
| American.
I'm the larger minor leagues and in
the major leagues. the double UNI
| pire system Is In vogue. which is a
! great help, as 1t enables the umpire to
get closer to every play and insures
| the accuracy of his judgment.
1.-THE average seat at a ball park is
from ninety TO 500 feet from first or
third base, and an umpire is from hye
to ten feet from first or third base
when he renders his decision.
Taking for granted hat the vision
of an umpire Is at least as good as
that Of the fan, any fair-minded per-
son will admit that the umpire, close
to the play, is the best judge.
Mind, | am not criticising the fans
for volciLg their opinion of the UNI
| pire's decision, but I claim THAT THE
ANGLE OF VISION. PLUS THE
DISTAN" FROM THE PLAY, Is
the sole cause of their protest, and that
such will be the case as long as there
are uinpires In baseball.
II know this to be the fact because
have occupied ~grandstand seats myself
ON off days and have been In doubt
until the umpire made his decision.
Often from where | sat a man who was
safe appeared to be out and a man out
seemed to be safe. ! saw the play from
such an angle and from so great a
| distance that ! could not see IL as il
was actually made.
THE fan sitting directly back of first
base frequently misses the motion of a
first baseman's hand as he touches the
runner a fraction of a second before
the runners foot touches the bag; or a
fan somewhere else fails to see the
fielder's hand tip the runners shoe as
he slides. The umpire standing over
each play sees these things.
Baseball crowds are becoming fairer
with the umpires every day and much
credit for this is due to the newspapers
