Umpire Held Too
 Hasty In Ruling
Spoiled Contest for Big Saturday Crowd by Putting Capt.
 Crook Out of Game
(By Wasner.)

The Bridgeport fans had their first Opportunity of seeing Umpire Held in action Saturday and he did not win any glory. Much has been written about Held's ability and to a casual observer it would seem that the iously. He acted too hastily in put ting Capt Tom Crook out of the game and thereby spoiled what had been q hard fought contest.
 Crook has not been the best be- haved player in the league Nobody will hold him up as a model but at the same time his punishment in Sat urday's game was too severe. Ban ishment from the coaching lines would have been sufficient. Crook was on the lines when ball was hit into the crowd along the left foul line. The Mechanics' captain claimed that according to the ground rules the rap was good for three bases. The um- pire thought two bases was plenty.
 1t was a question how the rule should be interpreted and Crook as captain of the club had right to give his views. He was not noisy and he declares he used no bad language. If he did his remarks could not be heard in the stands. But at any rate Crook supposed he was merely being sent from the lines but when he went to take his position in the next inning he was ordered off the field.
 It was then necessary to send a pitcher to first base and his excusable error lost the contest for the Me- chanics. Umpire Held appears to have wrong idea of his importance in the game. The umpire Is minor cog in the machine. He should not try to grab the center of the stage be- cause people pay to see the players and not the man who gives decisions.
 It is all right in a big league to banish a man for a trifling Offense because those clubs carry 25 men and have good substitutes for each posi- ton. But a Class B club is not per- mitted to carry many subs and when a regular is put out it breaks up the team. People who pay to see game are entitled to witness a real contest and not joke exhibition.
 The umpires in order to protect the patrons of the game should be in- structed not to put a player out un- less there is serious .provocation. A fine would be enough to check rowdy- ism. Certainly a trivial kick such as Crook made does not justify an um- pire in spelling game.

 Catcher Harvey Russell has been will get into the game. tomorrow. at New Haven. The crack backstop had conference with Manager McCann at the Atlantic hotel this morning and terms were quickly arranged. This action will be popular with the ality and is one of the best liked play CTS who ever, wore a Bridgeport uni- form.
 Harvey has been with the New York Americans for the past few months but Manager Wolverton has so many sell to find himself a job if he had any place he desired. So Russell boarded train for this city yester> day and held a reunion on Fairfield avenue yesterday afternoon. He did not see Manager McCann until this no difficulty about agreeing on terms.
 Although it is not the general cus- tom for clubs in this league to carry two first class ibackstops, Manager McCann felt that he ought to be pre- pared for accidents and he figured curing the extra expense.
 "It seems good to be back in the old town," declared Russell this morn ing sI had fine season here last year. The people treated me right and I made lot of good friends I'll Set out there and work my head off to get the club agoing."
 The present team Is the most ex- pensive the city has ever had all though you might not think so by the standing of the club. It's fact new ertheless, There are IS on the pay roll and all are drawing good salaries The bad weather has put the manage ment in the hole to the tune of about $1, 500 but the club expects to get the mazuma back during the summer months.
 The fans are apt to figure that the strength of team varies in propor- ton to the salaries paid. That is very seldom true. The cheapest teams are often the best when conducted by a capable manager. Waterbury had an expensive team last season but it landed In last place. Hartford had the cheapest club and it finished third. But if you asked the average fan he would have stated that Hart ford was paying bigger salaries than

Chicago Star Says Pittsburgh Youngster is Coming
 Star

Joe Tinker, captain of the Chicago Cubs, is quoted as saying of Marty O'Toole, the high priced pitcher of the Pittsburgh Pirates:
 "O'Toole is the best looking young pitcher have seen in years. He will certainly make good. I believe that free swingers, like Schulte, Mitchell and others of that class. will have unlimited trouble in making base hits off his delivery. The only man who looks to me to have a chance to hit him safely is the one who chokes his bat and chops at the ball. Why? Be- cause Marty's shoots have such a sharp break that the man who starts free swing is likely to find his bat going inches under or over the ball as it crosses the plate.
 "O'TOOle looks to me to have not only wonderful natural ability. but marvellous thinking powers. He crossed me Thursday after he had wound up. I was expecting straight ball, and was set for such a pitch. for he had already served me two straight curves. I saw him change the posi- ton of his fingers on the ball after he had started to wind up and when he had his hand over his head. 1t was then too late for me to change my own position, and I whiffed. the ball curving right over the plate. O'Toole throws his spitball with the same .motion he uses for his straight pitch and there is no way of telling what he is handing you. He makes the blum of splitting on the ball every time, and this also fools the batter '

 Boxer on Points.

In his first appearance since he wrested the featherweight champion ship from Abe Attell, Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland will crawl through the ropes to swap punches with Frankie Burns of Jersey City in a ten-round bout at the St. Nicholas A. O.. New York tomorrow night. At the cham pion's training camp. in Rye Beach. last night 1t was said that Kilbane ie in splendid condition From Burns quarters, at Rockaway Beach, came word that Frankie is chafing on the bit and anxiously awaiting the time when he can cut loose at Kilbane.
 The champion is the favorite, and the fight fans will flock to the St. Nicholas. Rink to see the conQuerpr of Attell. Kilbane's followers taunt the Burns rooters with, If Attell licked Burns with one hand, what will At tells cohqueror do to Burns with two hands?" Jersey fans come back with s'Kilbane will be fighting live one when he meets Burns. sAttell was far down the slide when .Kilbane got him. Experts figure that Burns has only one outside chance to win.

They were separated before any damage could be done. President O'Rourke says he will give each man an opportunity to make statement before imposing any fines.

Capt. Tom Crook of the Mechanics has been fined SEQ. by President O'Rourke of the Connecticut league for the little affair at Newfisld Satur- day when Tom was banished rom the game by Umpire Held. "The unl- pire was absolutely right" declared the president when seen at his office today. There was no reason why Crook should have disputed that de- cision. I saw the play myself and l think Umpire Held's decision was correct. understand that Crook used foul language after he was put out. He must understand that this will not be tolerated. I have nothing against Crook personally but I will punish him the same as any other player when he breaks the rules.
 Umpire Held wrote long letter to the president in which he gave his version of the matter. He declared Crook rushed at him after he made the ruling on the hit that went into the crowd The umpire says he made his ruling in accordance with the agreement by Capt. Crook and Capt. Hoey of New Britain before the con- test. Held states that the ball was
