~ HICAGO, I'LL, Sept. 25.-What
shall it profit a man though he
nag the umpire and have the
glistening tinware tied to his flying
coat tails?
In other words, Whats the use?''
What's the use Of nagging the UNI
pire when he won't take your abuse
What's the use. oh, what's the use
During the present baseball season.
soon to be the late lamented, Manager
Jawn Evers has been banished to the
shower bath so often that in walk
ing out on the diamond he has al
most met himself coming back.
The same is true of Heine thinner
man.
Both Evers gand Zimmerman are
being paid for playing ball, but on
many, and divers occasions they have
been compelled to play the game from
the clubhouse door or from the grand
stand for reasons as many as they
are varied.
have watched this game of "out
you go" so often that I finally decided
to gently approach both Jawn and
Heine with the timely but delicate
question What's the use?"
Says It's Part of Managers Job.
The Trojan was my first victim
and l nabbed him just before he was
ready to enter a recent game with
the Phillies. He had been talking
with President Murphy and his
classic features were wreathed in
smiles Probably had just learned
that he would be on the pay roll next
year.
At any rate, those smiles faded
and a frown fitted over his brow when
l shot the question at him: "Jawn,
what's the use of arguing with an
umpire when you know he has ii on
you right off the reel?"
Jawn looked at me with sort of a
plying expression and said:
Where do you get that stuff
What's the good of carrying a losing
case into court? You know that it's
a loser when you hire the attorney,
but thousands of dollars have been
wasted on hopeless cases lost before
they reach the court.
Il am frank to admit it doesn't pay
to kick about a decision. AS they
say in the bush leagues, An umpire
can't change his decision but at that
player can make an umpire feel
pretty cheap when he calls attention
to bum decision"
yep, but why kick at all when you
know it's a cinch it's going to be the
clubhouse for yours and maybe three
days OFF," I persisted.
Jawn then waxed slightly bellig-
erent and replied:
81 consider it a part Of my man
agerial duties to protest certain points
of the game. For instance, last Sun
day, l was put out of the game for
throwing ball over the grandstand
when 1t had already been declared
out of play.
Has Kick Coming.
Il was first accused of soiIing the
ball when. in fact. it had rolled fully
200 feet over grass and dirt before
my hands touched it. Thus, | had a
kick coming right then and there.
After the umpire declared it out Of

National Commission
Passes Rule Against
Ball Player Writers

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Sept. 25.-Due
to frequent complaints received by the
national baseball commission and the
Baseball Writer'S ASSOCIATION concern
ing articles alleged to have been writ
ten by ball players, the national com
mission yesterday handed down a rul-
ing in which it orders that no players
eligible to compete in the worlds series
or any series shall write or pretend
to write an account Of such series for
any newspapers, nor shall any player
allow the use Of his name over an ar
ticle purporting TO be written by him
Violation Of this order will result in
the infiction OF such penalty as the
commission may determine.
The Baseball Writer'S Association Of
America had recently solicited the co.
operation Of the commission IN pre-
venting ball players from invading their
field. In the communication to the ma
tional commission. President Jackson,
of the writer's association. declared:
owing to this evil we, the news
paper men, are forced to do something
to protect ourselves against a growing
evil that threatens baseball reporters
in a pecuniary way. II also is making
the reports OF world series ridiculous
and must, in q way. hurt the series
itself eventually; and 1t further BELT
ties in the minds Of the public the
trained baseball writer. who labors all
the year around as a competent critic,
10 De subordinated to a novice in the
one biggest week OF the baseball year.
The commission will have the support
and cooperation of this association in
any move IL may make to eradicate the
evil that has been discussed"

Al Reich. the former amateur

discouraged because he was bested
by Carl Norris in New York the other
night. Reich Is a young man yet

Reich should never have been pitted

is a big, powerful fellow and can give

A thousand dollars or so, however,
probably looked like a small sized
fortune to Reich and so he consented
to clash with Morris. The careers Of
hundreds Of promising boxers are
ruined each year by their desire to
battle with experienced men before
they have mastered the rudlments of
the glove game.

round clash here with Al Palzer and
to-day plans are being made to send
Charlie against Carl Morris Both men
were slow in their delivery, each round
finding them foundering around without
doing much execution.
Miller earned the verdict by his will
ingness to exchange at all times. Seven
rounds of the ten were in his favor.
Each man weighed in at 22O pounds. A
half dozen rights on the jaw shook up
Palzer, but the blows failed to prevent
the Hawkeye from holding his own in
the exchanges.

~ ATTLING NELSON is going to
n fight again. provided that he
can induce some kind hearted
promoter to sign him for a bout with
one Of the members of the light
weight brigade 1t Is reported that a
Milwaukee boxing club is eager to
match the Durable Dane" with Ad
wolgast for ten-round whirl to take
place next month
Since losing the lightweight cham
pionship to Wolgast at Point Rich
mond on February %, 1910, Nelson
has retired from the ring scores Of
times only to don the padded gloves
again whenever promoter APP
preached him and made a noise like
the rustling OF hundred dollar bills.
Nelson Should Retire.
Nelson's friends have tried in vain
to persuade him to retire to private
life. They realize that he is injuring
his health by boxing DR.. Reese, the
famous bonesetter declared recently
after examining the former prince OF
the Founders, that he should be
called Battered" instead Of Battling.
When Nelson was in his prime he
won his battles chiefly on account
Of his almost superhuman strength
and wonderful gameness. Bat" was
never a classy boxer and could not
punch hard, but, nevertheless defeat
ed some Of the craftiest glove wielders
and some Of the hardest punchers the
lightweight division has produced. He
wore down his opponents by his ag-
gressive tactics and bulldog-like
fighting spirit.
No matter how hard and how often
Nelson was hit. he always kept boring
in He would never falter for a sin
gle minute. Consequently. he tired
out his opponents and caused them to
become discouraged. The result was
that the Dane ultimately landed a
dream wallop.
"Bat" Worth 100000.
Nelson is well fixed financially and
is not obliged to fight in order to
gain a livelihood He is worth in the
neighborhood OF 5000, 900 which he has
got safely invested in real estate. II
fight because | like the ring game.
is the way Nelson explains his refusal
to retire
If Wolgast and Nelson meet in
Milwaukee It will be a "grudge" bat
tie pure and simple. There will be lit
tie interest in the bout from a cham
pionship standpoint. A large num-
Der Of fans" however. are sure to
turn out If these former title holders
meet.
Nelson has said many harsh things
about Wolgast since the latter re-
leved him Of the lightweight title
He has termed him a cheese cham
pion" and has regarded him as a
joke as a real "headIiner" AID will
probably recall these things II he ever
