JUMPS HAVE FRIENDS
Magnatcs Vote 10 Stand Back of Its Umpires-Rules About Coaching to Be Stricter.

New York, Aug 1O.-The National league rallied to the support of it's um mpires at a meeting held at it's head quarters at West Forty-second street yesterday. The presidents of all the clubs, with the exception of Garry Hermann of the Reds, and Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates attended. It was the sense of the meeting that the men handling the indicator had been uniformly good. and a new rule was passed which will make the power of the arbiters more absolute.
 It was decided to restrict coaching from the bench. and any player found making any remarks to the umpire; to a spectator, or to any player on the field other than one on his own team will be punished by fine or sus- pension or both.
 The owners agreed the players had had too much leeway in this matter of coaching from the bench and that their disputing of decisions, which they were in no position to see, and riding the players of the opposing teams worked to the detriment of the game. Many instances were cited where umpires were called upon to clear off the players bench during games.
 It also was decided that the man agers of the various teams should fur nish the official scorer in writing not less than five minutes before the start of q game their lineup for the day.
 The meeting was called to investi- gate the charges of inCOmpetency a against some of the umpires. A peti- tion of protest signed by more than zoo Boston fans was presented tQ John K. Tener, president of the National league. MT Tcner received the pro- test but 1t was not considered.
 Robert Emslie, who will have com n1eted twenty-five years of service as 2 National league umpire on Satur- day will be honored on that day. He will oficiate at the double header be- tween the Boston Braves and the Rob- ins at Ehbets field, and the owners voted that fitting testimonial be ,,resented to him. Charley H.

HAGEN STILL KING
Metropolitan Open Golf Champion Achieves We'll Earned Victory at Shawnee.

Shawnce-on- Delaware, Penn. Aug. 1O-Walter C. Hagen of Rochester metropolitan open champion, added to his laurels and his bank account yesterday by winning the annual Shawnee invitation open tournament with a total score of 29S for the sev- enty-two holes of play. By brilliant inward journey on the last lap, Bob Mcdonald of Buffalo stole into second place with BOP strokes Long Jim Farnes of Whitemarsh Valley was third with BOA strokes, and Gil Nt- cholls of Great Neck and Emmet French of York tied for fourth and fifth money at 306.
 The metropolitan open champion started his days work with a lead of one stroke over Barnes, but though he drove the Whitemarsh pro to cover in the morning by leading him two strokes with a 75, he found that Gil Nichols had appeared upon the scene with a perfectly good T, which gave him tie for first place and a record for the revised course. Hagen was playing remarkably steady golf, with three rounds of 75 to his credit. and, as he had led every partner that he played with, Nichols was foredoomed to defeat when the tournament com mittee paired him off With the metro pOlitan open champion.
 The final round played by Nichols and Hagen was dramatic. Up to the twelfth hole the Great Neck pro was very much in the fight and doing most of the fighting, but from this point to the home green he was more success full in locating traps than in finding the cup. Hagen played par golf all me way, finishing with 73, while Nich- oils was 80 to the turn and 42 back, for an S1,
