SPEAKER PUTS ONE
OVER ON THE UMPIRE
In PRACTICE GAME

Nothing peeves Iris Speaker more
than losing a base hit. Spoke" Is just
as fond OF his bingles in the practice
games as in the regular season. In one
Of the games between the Pirates and
Red Sox. Speaker hit slow ball down
the third base line, and, by a burst
of speed. made the play at first very
close.
Speaker thought he had at least tied
the ball. while Umpire Owens was posi-
tive the ball had just beaten the run
ner. Speaker was declared out. 1t made
the third out of the inning, and, as
the Boston star made his way to the
center field he couldn't refrain from ex-
pressing his opinion of the decision to
the umpire.
Owens reported at Hot Springs con
siderably overweight, tipping the beam
in the neighborhood of go pounds. Not
being in the best, OF shape. he was I'M
able to get over the plays as he does
during the season.
Come down and look the play over"
yelled Speaker. You're not so good
that you can give decisions at first from
back of the plate
Had a good season last year, and
you're all swelled UP about it, replied
Owens
well from what the Pittsburg play
ers tell me, that is more than I can
say about you." replied Speaker. Before
Owens could reply Speaker was 30 far
out in center field that to yell at him
was useless. He grinned and waved
good naturally at Owens. and even the
Jump was forced to smile, for he knew
Speaker was only kidding, and enjoyed 1t.

failure To REPORT
SUSPENDS TY COBB
Great Outfelder's Case Is Becoming
More Complicated and Serious
Every Day.

The case of Mr.. T. Raymond Cobb ID
becoming a little more complicated every
day. Ty has suspended himself by not
reporting for the first game at st. Louis
but this is really not so serious a mat
ter as it sounds, though probably it will
cost Cobb some money.
Ty came out yesterday at Augusta
and issued formal statement He said
when President Navin accepts my
offer, I will report at once, and am in
shape TO jump right into the game.
My demands are not exorbitant, and
President Navin has told me that l am
worth all 1 ask, but the Detroit manage
ment is unable to meet the salary de-
mands. If 1 am worth it, / ought to
be paid what I ask"
President Navin said this morning that
he did not know what Cobb meant by
his offer" unless he was referring to
letter sent some weeks ago.
II don't care to say anything more"
said Mr. Navin. I'm long-distance con-
troversy like this there is sure to be a
misunderstanding if too much Is pub
lished. AS for Cobb's suspension, I had
not thought of il before I read of 1t
this morning, but 1t is simply formal
He will have to apply to, the commits
sion, and they will reinstate him, pos
sihly with a fine.
There isn't anything I can do now.
Cobb knows what we can do for him.
and that puts it up TO him. He will
have to come to the office, just as Craw-
ford, Dubuc. and the other players with
whom We had salary difficulties. Until
that time there will be nothing for me
to say or do.
The Georgian has been offered a good
salary, one larger than that paid to any
player not a manager. If he wants to
accept this he is still all right, for there
is no record Of a star player not being
reinstated if he and his club came to
an agreement. Tvs case, except for his
prominence, is not different from Ed
Sweeney's, and the Tigers absence is
really not as great a blow to the club
as the big catcher's was to the High
landers last year.
1t may be that Ban Johnson will try
for the scalp of the Tiger outielder,
but, in view of the statements made by
the boss of the American League, it is
unlikely that he will do anything mere
than fine Cobb as heavily as possible
once Ty agrees to President Navin's
terms.
OF course. il is a well-known fact that
Johnson does rot like Cobb and would
gladly make an example Of him if the
offered. But any move that
really looked like persecution Of Cobb
by the league president would not be
we'll received by the fans.

Dancer Appears In Cerise Creation.
To BE Unbuttoncd mt VIII.
New York. April 13.-The last cry in
freak dresses was established today at
one of the White Light" turkey trot
resorts. The demonstration was given
by a slender young woman, who called
the creation she wore tango dress a."
1t was a clinging affair. of cerise shade,
buttoned up the front and down the
back. When the negro orchestra strum-
med a catchy one-step, the woman rose
with her partner, measured the time.
and then calmly reached down and I'M
buttoned two buttonss front and. back
When the trot stopped and lively
Spanish tango, with its many p.rouettes
started up, she reached down once more
and unbuttoned two more, disclosing silk
tights of just the same delicate cerise
hue as the dress.
The roomful OF people applauded. The
tango" dress had made hit. And
ether young women. in equally clinging
and diaphahcus gowns, made mental
notes for their dressmakers.

A prominent sporting writer says of
the visit Of the Oxford coaches, A. @.
Kirby and Harcourt Gold, to America
to aid the Yale crew for the Harvard
race:
There is something more, believe,
in this than mere effort to obtain the
best English coaching, and / look upon
it as an important development in de-
termined effort to free amateur rowing
in America from the curse of profess
sional control, which led to the barring
of American crews at Henley.
II note that the honorary secretary
of the Amateur Rowing Association is
to accompany Mr.. Gold to America, and
hope his visit will result in an agree
ment with the American Rowing Asso-
citation over the amateur question. so
that in future American crews of the
best type will be able to row for the
grand challenge and other Henley cups. :"

AWAlTSENGLISH COACHES
Gold and Kirby Due in May to Handle
Final Training Of New
Haven Crews.

Now that William Averill Hartman,
the undergraduate head coach of the
Yale crew, is able to place his men on
the harbor every day, preparations are
being rushed to have all things in readi-
ness for the arrival of the two English
coaches Gold and Kirby. next month.
-Four shells have been rugged with the
regulation English set-off seats and

ing through what resembles as closely
as Hartman can mako it the prelimi-
nary training of an Oxford crew. .Har-
rlman has spent two seasons in observ-
ing the oxford method of preparing a
crew, and has been a faithful student
of both Gold and Kirby, who handle the
oxford Fights at different stages of their
training.
Until the two English coaches arrive
it is doubtful if Hartman will attempt
10 select even a tentative first eight,
although the fact that the second crew
has been entered in the American Hen
ley makes 1t imperative that he choose
only those men for the junior varsity
whose chances for the varsity are SLIM
In effect, this will mean the weakening
of the second crew. but Hartman be-
lieves that the English coaches should
not be hampered in any way when they
once arrive on the scene.

are getting some mighty thorough drill
ing in the fundamentals of rowing, with
great stress on the English idea. The
stroke is being kept low and the men are
rowing with very little slide The offset
seats and the tholepins make the crews
lock a grea deal like typical English
Fights.
Gold and Kirby will put the polishing
touches on the boats, but before thy ar
rive the stroke will be gradually keyed
up, so that they will not have to do too
much in the line of preparing the men
for the rigid training that will precede
the departure for New London and the
three gruelling weeks on the Thames.

and are being coached by John Appleton

The Yale youngsters are coming along
slowly, but their development seems to
be none the less sure. and they will be fit
when the gun is fired at New London.
The proposed race between the Yale fresh
men and the Princeton first-year crew has
fallen through. so that the Harvard race
will be the only one in which the Eli
Youngsters will have a chance to show
their prowess.

room. fully expecting to be confronted
by spook.
Then he got lighted. lamp and braced
up courage to enter the parlor, only to
find that the cat was the pianis.- Il

one end to the other.
