 Heinie Zimmerman, of the Cubs, seems to have reformed this year. He is far below his average of other years in the business of umpire bait ing. Heinie, in the years that have fled, used to count that day lost whose low descending sun marked no quarrel with umpires begun.
 However, one shouldn't be prema- ture about concluding that Heinie has completely reformed. Perhaps his reform has been only public one. It must be borne in mind that Hennery- O'Day, who manages the Cubs and tries to manage Heinie as we'll, just recently escaped serving a sentence as umpire. Who knows but that Heinie devs most of his batting in the club house now, with Hennery as the sole object of his cute re- marks.
 It seems to us that too much fuss is being made over the fact that Honus Wagner of Pittsburg has com piled something like 5000 hits. Moth ing wonderful in that. Georges Car pentier, a French person, made twice that many hits when he met Bombar- dier Wells, the oft-bombarded British CT, in the ring some short time ago, and it didn't take George seventeen years to do it, either.
 And unless we reck wrong, even Georges record will fall by the way side on Saturday night provided that Francis Moran remains on his feet for three or four rounds, and that the bout witt. Johnson isn't framed.
 No wonder the international olym- pic games committee had such a darned hard time trying to define an amateur. It's pretty hard, you know. to define something that doesn't ex- ist.
 Out in Chicago they're still calling Charlie White the lightweight cham ion, because he handed a beating to Willie Ritchie in their recent no-deci- sion ten round bout in Milwaukee and right away Charlie begins to act like a regular champion. He has accepted vaudeville offer.
 For the ben.it of the very few peo- pie who may not know it, we wish to state than Honathan Gutenko is the bantam weight champion of the world. He recently knocked out one John Ooulon.
 N looks just now as if Charlie Her zoI is going to deprive the Cincinnati directors of the great little pleasure that they indulged in each and every autumn-firing the hold-over manager and hiring a new one. Of course, if Charlie's gang doesn't win the pen nant but merely finishes in second or third place. that fact will give the directors an excuse for canning Charles. But Charles has made the directors uneany by declaring that he's going to win the pennant. In other years everybody picked the Maps to be in on the fight all the way. And the Maps got away to a good start in moSt of those other years. And they Invariably cracked
 This year. not even the braves, Cleveland sport writer figured the | Maps in the pennant fight. And the | Maps have lived up to the early pre- dictions by skipping down to the bot tom of the American league heap and remaining ther. 1 Therefore, we figure that if tht 1 Maps are still possessed of that fac ulty of upsetting the dope about mid season and going just the other way than the dope pointed, they'll shortl. being shooting up through the Ameri can league and finally catapultint 1 themselves into the world series. However, we are not making an,
 bets on this.
