ban ON ROWDYISM
IN TENER'S CIRCUIT
Will Meet Severe Punish
ment, National League
Head Says
Jumps" LOT
HARD AT BEST

John K. Tener. president Of the Ma
tional baseball league. has declared
war on rowdyism in his circuit, and is
firm in his assertion that any rufilanly
act hereafter will be met with severe
punishment. He denies that he wants
to convert the game into a function
resembling an afternoon tea party, but
affirms that between aggressiveness
and rowdyism there is a vast differ
ence
Il want the players in the National
League to show 'pep-to show spirit.
l want every game to be a fercely
contested battle. And they can be
such without the element of rowdy-
ism creeping in.
"Hot headed ball players are too
quick TO hurl foul sounding names at
an umpire. They have come to believe
that an umpire is something to be
something beyond their no
tice except as a target for vile Lam
guage and nasty tricks
THE fans sometimes hoOt ana hiss
an umpire because he chases a player
from the game but If those fans had
10 submit TO the same thing that some
of the umpires do, ! dare say they
would use far more violent means of
resenting IT.
"The fans are, usually. too far re-
moved from the scene of action to
hear what the ball players say to the
umpires. And because some of the
nj 4 49,.
do not see all that is going ON.
"One of the favorite tricks of a
player is TO rush up TO an umpire and
step on his feet. The sharp spikes
sometimes cut in through the shoes.
The fans rarely see that trick be-
cause they are engaged in watching
gesticulations of the player.
Another nasty little trick is for the
ball player to jam the points of two
of his fingers into the chest Of the
umpire as he tries TO drive home some
argument. The player isn't gentle as
he pokes. Usually he pokes with all
the power he can muster. And II
hurts. II you don't believe II, let
somebody try it on you.
/ "Umpires make mistakes-hut moi
1 Intentionally. No umpire is infalliblC
nor is any other human being infal.
lible But even II the umpires were
infallible there are some players who
would dispute their Judgment.
There are some men who are nat
ural disturbers and | regret 10 say
that few have made their way into
baseball But ] shall see to II that
hereafter they will conduct themselves
as gentlemen Oh the ball field or suf-
fer the consequences"
Umpires feel thankful that GER
tain red-headed chap who played in
the semi-pro ranks in Cleveland didn't
make his way into the big leagues
This player had a little trick Of spit
ting tobacco juice through his teeth
into the eyes Of the umpires He got
away with this trick nearly all Of one
summer because he was a big husky
and the amateur umpires would ra.
ther suffer the pain from the inflamed
/ optic in silence than retaliate ant

POOLS Menace TO
BASEBALL CANES
Ex-Governor Tener Declares
Betting on Games Should
Be Wiped Out
NATION WIDE CRUSADE
AGAINST EVIL BEGUN

NEW YORK May 29-Baseball au-
thorities here see in the trial of VIII
liam Rapp at Chicago and the arrest
of two men at New Orleans the be-
ginning of a nationwide campaign
against baseball pools. II was said
that the matter would be called to the
attention of the district attorney in
this city and the facts also will ne pre-
sented to Governor Whitman with a
request that action be taken to abate
the practice.
President John K. Tener of the Ma
tiOnal League was outspoken in con-
demning pool betting. 1T should all
be wiped out" he said, for it is a
fast growing menace to the commun-
ity as well as to baseball ITSELF
"As a man is known by the compan-
ions he keeps" he remarked, 40
baseball will be known by its asso-
Citations. and those associations ought
never to be such that finger can be
pointed i'm scorn. For the moral well
fare of the community baseball pools
should be stamped out just the same
as any other form of gambling
1.-THE baseball pool is more insidi-
GUS than almost any other form of the
gambling evil, not excepting the lot
terry or the slot machines. l have
somewhat of an intimate knowledge of
the pools. When l was Governor of
Pennsylvania this type of gambling
became very prevalent throughout the
State. | placed the case in the hands
of the State police, and after diligent
effort the practice was wiped out.
Even now the practice is beginning to
crop out in Pennsylvania. and I am
going TO consult with the Governor
about it,"
