FOR NICK CULL0P
Star Batsman Also Holds Iris
Speaker in High Esteem as
a Fielder.

BRISTOL, Tenn. Sept. 4.-AIthough
Pitcher Nick Cuilop. formerly OF the
Bristol team of the Appalachian
League. but who went TO the big
show from the New Orleans Pelicans
Of the Southern League. has been
called upon to pitch, but thTce tull
games for the Cleveland Maps. he
has fully demonstrated to Manager
Joe Birmingham and to Cleveland
fans that he has "the stun" to use a
common phrase. and that nothing can
keep him out OF his regular turn as a
member of the Mars pitching stan
in 1914
"Cullop is a bit too nervous togo In
the box in a PINCH" said Joe jackson
recently. but II given a show at
regular work he Is destined to make
good"
Cullop and Jackson are special
friends. Jackson and his wife and
Cullop arr stopping at the same
house in Cleveland.
'Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and myself. I"
said Culiop recently. have planned
to motor through to the South from

SOL. We Will spend three or four
days in making the trip. I will go
to my mothers home at chilhowie
FOR visit and II Is probable that I
will go to Cuba later TO pitch during
the winter season. I have been In
correspondence with the Cuban man
agcment. and am expecting to make a
satisfactory arrangement 20 put in
the winter season getting valuable
training. go that I will be all the
better qualified to get in regularly
when the American League season
opens next spring"
Speaking OF great felders, Joe Jack
son says: "a regard Iris Speaker as
the greatest fielder in the game to-
day. You can't put a ball in Speakers
field, unless you ground IL, that he
can't get. He can run back almost
anv distance and get a fly. He has
robbed me Of hits by snatching them
from the scoreboard. and II isn't
worth while to try to put a fly be-
ynnd his reach for no matter where
II goes, IL II finds its way through
either border OF mis- field. he Is not
going to let it get to the ground"
Jackson made this comment at the

BRENNAN HAS NO
PUNISHMENT COMING
President Lynch Says "Nothins
Doing" Regarding His Erring
Umpire.

NEW YORK. Sept. A-The New York
club has not decided what action Il will
take regarding President Lynch's de-
cision awarding last Saturdays game
In Philadelphia to the Phillies after
Umpire Brennan had forfeited the
game TO New York. However, the club
makes no secret of Its opinion that IL
has been badly treated by Lynch.
Lynch never even gave US a hear
ing. said Secretary Foster. And the
game was forfeited on no complaint OF
the New York club. Why should we
suffer II Lynch's umpire made a mis-
take?
Lynch soys he waived the technical
part OF the case for the good of the
game. No one was so considsrate to
the New York club In 1906. when a clean
base hit won US the championship, but
II was taken from US.
President Lynch, answering a direct
question as to whether or not he would
take action looking to the punishment
OF Umpire Brennan, said:
Nothing doing"
Lynch was asked to qualify his
Nothing doing answer.
1T means just what IL implies-that
there'n be nothing doing as regards the
punishment OF Brennan. I have moth
ing more to say" was his reply.

and started for Detroit
That was a great ride from Buffalo

filled with mail matter and fresh fish.
The fish cars were not bothersome. how

for them. But there wasn't any diner.
