Edward ECkblad Is
Foremost White Hope
That's Real Name of Gunboat Smith,
Who Is Among Leading
HeaVyweights.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July ,5.-The
Gibbons brothers of st. Paul are not
the only Minnesotans who are top
notchers in the squared circle. for no
less a parsonage than Gunboat Smith,
at present leading figure in the white
hope brigade. started his journey to
fame from this State. "Gunboat"
Smiths real name is Edward Eckblad.
He was brought up in Mihca Town
ship. His mother, who is now Mrs.
ROsen. still lives in that township.
Young Eckblad is well remembered
in Milica Township as a sturdy young
fellow, always handy with his fists
and of an adventure-loving disposi-
ton. Many stories are told of his
prowess with his dukes" at little dis
agreements such as occasionally
arise at country dances.
The mOnotony of life in the country
did not appeal to him, and in 1908
his eye was caught by one of Uncle
Sans" advertisements depicting the
joys of life in the navy, showing
groups of young tars and non COM
missioned officers standing around,
apparently with little to do.

.1eiSman GiveSAdvice to UmpireS
9 Q O @ 9 & @
.ArbiterS Should Follow PLAYS

fronts an umpire every time he has
to make a base decision where the
runner only got the base, if at all, by
clever slide around behind the
baseman and the latter had a hard
time getting to him to put the ball
on him. Both players will try to pull
the wool" over the umpires eyes by
their actions, which should be strict
ly disregarded. The only way to make
sure that your eyesight alone shall
be the test Of whether the man is out
or not is to run close up on the play
and BE ON HAND so you can see for
yourself
Many first basemen have a habit
Of pulling their heel off the bag be-
fore they catch the ball An UNI
pire should be careful to note wheth-
er the first baseman's foot is in con-
tact with the sack at the instant Of
catching the ball or not. He should
also be sure to follow the course of
the runner all the way around the
diamond and observe whether he
touches all the bases. Most umpires
are watching the fielding of the ball.
which is really none of their affair at
all, instead Of watching what the base
runner is doing The ball will come
in all right some way or other, and it
is proper that you should have your
eyes on what is happening on the
bases rather than the way the out
fielders are getting the ball back into
the diamond.
Umpires must also take firmly in
hand the matter of spectators crowd
ing out toward or upon the diamond.
If he can not get them back himself
he should hold the home management
responsible for this disorder, and, aft
er giving them a reasonable time in
which to get the spectators back. he
should notify them that unless they
succeed in clearing them away with
in two minutes more he will award
the game to the visiting team.
Arbiters Should Know Rules.
Umpiring is like playing in one re-
spect, and that is that the more ex-
perience one gets the more proficient
are they apt to become. That and
these few hints may be Of much
benefit to one contemplating doing
some of this work but above all
make sure that you know the rules
You may think you know them be-
cause you have a general idea of how
the game is played, but anyone who
thinks they know every rule in base
ball will do well to go right out and
buy rulebook and read it through
very carefully from beginning to end,
and if they don't find at least a dozen
things in the game that they never
heard of before the circus lemonade
is on me.

Thomson Will Face
Many Good Rivals
Plat Adams, Mercer, Donahue and
Other Stars to Compete Against
Present Champion.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July B.
With the entries for the all-around
championships, which will be held
here on Bovard Field July II, the out
look for the coming event is exceed
ingly good. Many coast athletes who
could undoubtedly have made good
records in alI-around championships
in years past are taking the oppor-
tunity to enter the coming classic and
that Fred c. Thomson, the present
champion, will have to look for his
laurels in the coming event goes with
out a doubt.
Probably the most serious contend
ers for the present champion will be
Mercer, the phenomenal Quaker, who
has startled the Eastern critics with
his work of late; Plat Adams, of the
New York A. c.; James Donohue, of
the L. A. A. c.; Ed Beeson, of Cali
fornia, and Ollie Snedigar the
Olympic Club representative. All of
these men are first-class performers,
better in some events than in others,
but can hardly be given credit as
such first class performers as Thorn
son until they have shown in the all
around tryoutS.

DubuC ThrowsCurVes
With Three Motions

DETROIT, MICH, July 5.-Jean
Dubuc the Canadian pitcher

as an American League pitcher to the
fact that he can deliver his curves
his slow ball and his fast ball with
three different motions and have con-

Years ago, when l was pitching
with Notre Dame College, l learned
that speed without control was value

CARNEY PUTS IN FIRST
CHALLENGE TO PLAY De ORC

ST. LOUIS, MO, July 5.-The next
match for the worlds three-cushion
championship will be played between
Alfredo DeOro and Joe Carney
Frank Benson, the local billiard i'm
presario, received word Friday morn
ing that Carney. the Denver cueist,
had placed his challenge ahead of all
other performers, and would meet De-
ORC when the fall season starts in
September.
1t was thought that John HoTgan
would attempt to regain his laurels
ahead of anybody else, after losing to
the Cuban out in San Francisco last
April, but Banker Jawn" now will
have to wait until Carney and DeOro
play.
Carney was the carom expert who
surprised the billiard world by de-
feating DeOrO about a year and a
half ago. Had DeOro won that match
he would have secured possession Of
the diamond trophy. Carney's first
match as champion was with Horgan,
and the Sixth Street idol won with
ease.

Reds Are Composed
Of Young FASTENERS
Cincinnati Expert Ridcules Yarn
That Club Is Home for Aged
Ball Players.

CINCINNATI, July 5.-Criticism
was made on the personnel of the
Cincinnati Reds recently that the
players are too old to deliver the
goods and that that is the reason why
they have occupied last place so long
The critic declares that the Cincin-
natl club was an old mans home and
could never win until new life was
instilled into 1t by the substitution
of young men for the alleged old
timers" who were said to be clutter
ing up the field.
Investigation shows that nothing
could be further from the truth. AS
a matter of fact, the Reds, as now
constituted, are one of the youngest
clubs in the league.
Joe Tinker naturally Is the oldest
man in the regular lineup and Joe
is only 80 years old. and as fast as
he ever was. Hoblitzel is only "a,
though he has four years Of expert
ence as a major league first base
man.
Heine Groh is a youngster, and 50
Is John Dodge, the latter having Just
passed his twentieth birthday. The
infield is the youngest in the league,
for if Almeida plays third he is only
%, and does not bring the average UP
very much. In the outfield Bob Besch-
er, the Oldest man out there, is only
28, while Josh Devore is "a and Mar
sans IS.
Some of the pitchers and catchers
are older men. Of course, which is as
it should be. John King the veteran
Of the club, is 81, but still in excel
lent form. Tom Clarke, who has
been doing most of the work behind
the bat this year, is only "a. and Earl
Blackburn, the third backstop, has
Just turned 20.
