WaIsch Is Commended

San Francisco.-Editor Berry OF
the Weekly Star is not alarmed over
the charge that chairman Walsh
of THE industrial relations commission
was "unfair" to Rockefeller, jr., when
the latter testifedin Washington. The
newspaper man writes;
Chairman Walsh of the federal
commission on industrial relations is
getting some criticism. He is not
playing the game. He is exposing
some shame-John d. Rockefeller, tor
example. He is working his way to
the bottom of some things. He IS
removing the lid that patriotic pluto
Gratis don't want disturbed. He may
be making some mistakes, but the
man who never makes a'mistake never
makes anything else"

Labor Council has asked for the re-
moval from office of Chief Inspector
of Mines Graham, who is charged
with attempting to deceive the jury
at the inquest of the nineteen miners
who were drowned in mine at South
Wellington, last February. The dis
aster was caused by water rushing in
to the mine from another mine. Blue
prints indicated that the mines were
AIS feet apart, but the actual measure
ments showed a difference OF only
two feet. At the inquest the mine IN
spector acknowledged that he knew
the blue prints were drawn to dit
ferent scales.

as follows by Business Agent De

They (employers) criticise and de-
cry what they call the boss system in

NO MORE SHORT GAMES.
Tener's Edict Puts Stop to Catching
Early Train Custom.

NEW YORK, May 3.-Action has been
aiken in the National League putting
a stop to such cases AS took place in
Pittsburgh the other day, when the
game between the Cincinnatis and Pi-
Rates was called at the end of the
eighth inning the teams could catch
trains, although the spectators who
had paid their money expecting to see
a full ball game were left fiat. Evil
IDENTIFY John K. Tener, the leagues
president, thinks spectators are en-
titled to more consideration, for ne has
issued the following:
Hereafter no club in the National
League will be permitted to begin a
championship game prior to the usual
starting hour or to discontinue play be-
fore game is finished in order that par
ticipating club or clubs may catch
early trains. The last train as stated
in the leagues laws. will be construed
to mean the last train scheduled to
reach the next city at least an hour
prior to the customary time of start
ing games.
The case upon which the ruling was
based occurred in Pittsburgh recently,
when the game was called at o'clock,
before it's completion and with the
score a tie. Pittsburgh being sched-
uled to play in st. Louis the next day.
an agreement WAS entered into before
the game that the teams should stop
play one hour prior to the departure OF
the 6 o'clock train for st. Louis.
The effect OF President Tener's de-
cison will be that in the future teams
must take later train, provided such
later train is scheduled to arrive at the
city where the next game will be play
ed not less than one hour prior to the
customary starting time.

BY j. ED GRILLo.

BOSTON, May 3-As was predicted
III these columns yesterday. Manager
griffith has decided to pitch johnson
against the Red Sox today, while Joe
Eoehliug will be on the slab tomor-
row. Jim Shaw is apt TO be selected
for the final game Wednesday. Carri-
san probably Will he able to present
stronger pitchers against the Nationals
than he has against any of his other
recent rivals, for the three days that
the Red Sox have been able to rest may
improve the twirlers' conditions.
Johnson and Boehling demonstrated
last week that they are in good form
and should be hard to beat.
But. while the pitchers may be bene
flied by these rests, 1t is questionable
il the team as a whole is helped
thereby. II is matter of fact that
the Nationals always play their best
ball when they are playing regularly.
They do not keep on edge when they
are rested too much, especially in the
spring of the year.
\ severe criticism of Joe Wood and
Nean Gregg appeared In one of the
local papers yesterday, to the effect
to get themselves in condition to pitch,
are proving a detriment to the Red Sox
and are taking advantage of Owner
Lannin. 1t also is pointed out that
these two players are setting a bad
example for the other members of the
team. and that some action should be
taken 10y the club.
1t is believed that this article was
inspired by club officials. and that it
prccedes some drastic measure that the
club may take with regard to the idle
players OF the local pay roll.
The hitting of the New York Yankees
is one of the surprises of the present
pcuuant race. ON paper, the Donovan
team did not figure TO he very promi-
uent in this respect, yet the team is
batting remarkably well. though much
above it's true standard. There Will be
a falling off in the batting sooner or
later. il is predicted. and then the Yam
KEGS will not he winning as they have.
But those who want to see the Ameri-

Reds Manager Declares Umpire Rig

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-Manager Charles

club watched yesterday afternoons game
between his team and the st. Louis Car
dinals from the players bench. He did
not venture on the field, where Umpire
Rigler. with whom Herzog engaged in A

through loose fielding and wildness of
pitchers.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-05-03

President John Tener of the National
League is apt to inf1ict most severe
punishment on Manager HerZoC if it
is proved that he spiked Umpire Rig
Ter, predict those who know how Tener
views such affairs.
The trouble with Herzog appears to
he that he has lost his head since he
attained to the management of the
Cincinnati club.
Tener may suspend Herzog for the
remainder of the season if it develops
that the manager Intentionally tried to
cripple Rigler. which. in that event,
would be just verdict. Base ball
cannot afford to have such rowdyism
as Herzog is accused of. The game
cannot afford to lose its standing. on
account of the action of some hot-head-
ed manager, and Tener. no doubt. rea
Lies this fact and will hand out one of
the severest punishmentS ever inflicted
on ball player, provided investisa-
ton proves Herzog to be at fault.
1t is not often a manager finds he
feels justified in publicly praising one
of his players. When this is done there
usually is some good reason for il, and
this probably is the case with what
Griffith says about Ray Morgan. "Mor-
gan is playing the best ball of his
reer now" Griffith declares. "He is
much faster than he ever was before
and is covering more ground than he
ever did. This change is the result of
his training faithfully and getting him
self down to playing weight. If Nor
gan keeps in his present condition he
will prove one of the best second base
men in the league this year"
Arthur Irwin. former business man
ager of the New York Yankees, now
running the Lewiston. Me, club, was
a caller at the Nationals hotel yester
day afternoon in quest of an infelder.
He could not be accommodated by
Griffith. who, however, told him if he
had applied sooner he would have
given him the Cuban, Seiglie.
