Will Address Kentucky Legislature. Related Congratulations on His
 Birthday

Washington. March S.-Speaker Champ Clark left Washington this afternoon for Frankfort, where he will speak before the Kentucky legislature in one of the first set speeches in his campaign for the dem- ocratic presidential nomination. The speaker had delayed until today his de- cision to go to the Kentucky capital be- cause of public business.
 Senator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky will preside over the house during che speakers absence.
 Mr Clark expects to return to Washing to" Monday.
 Just before leaving tho capitol to take a tram Tor rrankrorJ the speaker appeared on the floor of the House. He held a modest reception in front of the rostrum, number of members who were unable to congratulate him yesterday because of his nasty retreat from the floor, pressin ! forward to shake his hand.

 Not a solitary bit,' replied Mir. Clark, batting him on the shoulder. I'm younger than I ever was"

EMS DOESN'T DENY REPORTS
 ADMITS HIS NAME IS MUTE
BY REUBEN A. LEWIS

I am still enjoying blssful single life. but I might mention that I have prospects.
 ''The way I broke into baseball was not unusual or romantic. I went up very ordi- narily. I played with the Hyde park team, the best team in the Trolley league at St. Louis. in 1909. It seems that the Gaylesburg team heard of me there and so I signed up to play with that team in 1911. l played my first season there and the Chicago White Sox nabbed me at the end of the season. Yes, I thought that it was pretty nice to get to go to the big leagues in my second year, but, you see, I must have needed more experienca Manager Molesworth secured me last fail and I have reported here for practice 3e1
 q batted .e75 last year and fielded 97s ought to feel at home here on the prac- tice squad, for l played with four other Barons in the Central league They were Boyd, Dilger, HardgroYe and Wall I have a brother, Jule Ems, who is ball player, and he will act as captain of the Dallas team in the Texas league. ,....
 'I hope to make good, of course, and I know that I will not have any cinch. am disappointed at the weather of the sunny south. However, I have been working out for the coming season at St. Louis and am in pretty good shape"
 Ems Is neat youth of fine appearance. Although he is tall, he is broad and is hefty looking individual. He has bright brown eyes with hair of the same; htie. In fact, he is one of the best looking of the Baron recruits.

RUDDERHAM'S 'BONE'l CAUSED MESSENGER
 SOFTLY TO SMILE

Everybody is coming back again. Car ponter, Fitzsimmons, Hart, Rudderham' Pfenninger! And as If these were not enough to serve as foils for the sarcasm of the fan flock, President Kavanaugh has named one other and threatened to appoint several mere.
 For let it be known that the president of the Southern lea que is planning to put into vogue the double umpire system. This is the only good system in existence. In this day and time it requires one man to see the ball as it skips over the plate and another to watch the movements of i tho men on the bases.
 The trouble with which umpires are concerned originates as rule as re- sult of their inability to see two objects in different localities at the same m- stant. Therefore, with two men on the < job all the time, the troubles of yesterday are about to roll off the limbo.
 Fans in the Southern league demand good umpiring. And good umpiring does not consist simply in Accurately calling strikes and balls and in indicating ac-. curately and quickly whether man has or has not reached a base in advance of the pellet.
 Southern league fans demand the sub. jeetion of the baseball ruffian.
 As a resul. of the determination, of spectators in this company that baseball rowdyism he forever under the ban, we cite you this morning to Otto Jordan. When he first came south he was general Iy astride the neck of some umpire. He gr,lmbled loudly whenever a strike was called on him or ball" on player of the opposing team.
 However much one may complain of Jordan today, there is no doubt but that in comparative sense he is quite model young man. He is now fairly respectable on the diamond. His improvement is not the result of desire to be better. It is cue to the fact that even the Atlanta fans got sick over his continuous use of the trough"
 In reference to the umpires, however. we are glad that President Kavanaugh refrained from attaching the can" Were either of the old fellows to depart there would be regret. Not that we love either of them very muchi But because the new might not be as good even as they. And it would require long while 10 get wise to the eccentrcities of each. And much depends on being aware of eccentrictles.
 Now. there is Rudderham. He's a good umpire despite his temper. Personally he's a pretty clever fellow, too But one afternoon in Atlanta he pulled a stunt which has never been equalled by any ''bush league official, and perhaps will ever remain unparalleled.
 For some reason Rudderham failed to Appreciate the worth of Harry Covaleske. HIe disliked the Pole, according to the story. On the afternoon in question a close game was nearing the finish. The Barons had placed a runner on first and Covaleskie was sent to coach at that. base.

Birmingham may have secured another Jake Daubert. in Mutz Ems, a left handed first baseman, who was secured from the Chicago White Sox last fall. Ems reported Thursday to Manager Molesworth. He is a tall. athletic boy, who halls from St. Louis. He is under H years of age and has fine record for a youngster.
 T have played professional ball but one season." said the promising recruit. T was with the Gaylesburg club in the Gen. tral association last year. I try to hit the ball left handed, and in fact do every thing else in that manner-even eat left handed. Yes, Mutz Ems is my real name, even if it does sound like fairy story.
 T was born in St. Louis on April 10. It was a fine day. I was educated in the St. Louis public schools, but did not take a college course. I have been playing baseball now for about five years and have never played any other position than first.
 T suppose it Is needless to say that I am tall," said Ems, as he looked dowi upon the meek scribe, flor when l meas ured last I was 6 feet and 1 inch high. I tip the scales at 175, although I will loose two pounds before the beginning of the season. I am considered to be rather fast for lanky youth, and am able to pull down the bad throws at the initial sack.

DY AL WEDDIGE Umpire American Association ,

During my career as a player and an umpire have seen a goodly number of funny plays come up, but never bumped into any that equaled a decision I was forced to make in a game at Kansas City last summer. Few of the fans really un- derstood the play at the time, and 1t caused a lot of excitement among the rooters. The following day the news papers, realizing that the ruling was a very unique one, gave considerable space to the play discussed 1t from it's various angles, and backed up my ruling. That squared me with the fans who didn't comprehend at the time what really hap pened.
 The play came up late in the game, the score at the time being very close. The first man up in the inning reached first in safety. The next hitter flashed the hit and run signal to the man on first. The catcher evidently divined the play, as he called for pitch out. The ball was very wide of the plate and it was evident that ohe batter would have to violate a rule by Stepping clear out of his box if he hoped to hit the ball. The batter deliberately otepped out of the box and swung. The catcher at the same time left his position and tipped the bat of the batsman, mak- ing two simultaneous offenses. The batter sent weak roller to the pitcher, on which he was retired at first. the runner reach ing second in safety.
 Immediately there was a roar from all tides The batsman claimed since the catcher interfered with him while at the bat he was entitled to first. He forgo; that he had deliberately stepped out of The batters box, and would have been called out by me, even if he had hit for a single, double or triple. Naturally, the dp- position set up a claim that the batter should be called out for stepping out oi
