Mack Cssfoff Proves Even the Willy
Connie Makes Mistakes in Judgment

In 10 recent games Kopf was at bat
30 times. scored IL runs and made
rs hits for an average OF 1855. In the
Reds winning streak IN the east he
was responsible for the scoring OF
more runs than any OF his team mates,
his batting being more opportune
than that OF his harder hitting team
mates. Rousch, Chase, Griffith, 0roh
and Neale.
When Kopf was given n regular
berth this spring Matty was pretty
freely criticized.
How can Matty expect 10 mako
anything OF a player passed up by
Mack?" was the most frequent COM
ment.
How does Mntty do a lot OF things
might easily be the answer.
Anyway Matty has made Kopf a
lhigh-grSde. inhelder, hard and
timely hitter and n valuable addition
to his ball club.
IL Just occurs that Kopf. hitting
.265, batted rings around most Of the
great short fielders OF 1916 Ills mark
} was equalled by Herzog; Maranvilil
batted 1916, Bancroft .2l2, Bush 221
] Scott 232, and Peckinpaugh .225. 81
< t. may be seen that Kopf is quite
o little above the average short stop a
a hitter.

Investigated Some of Their Unlps

Isn't Il about time for the major
league presidents to wake up 10 the
situation they are creating by the en-
ployment Of incapable umpires?
From practically every city around
the circuit has come criticism this
year Of the decisions OF some OF the
umplres In both leagues. Some OF
these have been so persistent that
they deserve more than passing at
tention.
Perhaps the most fragrant case this
year is that Of lord" Byron. At least
half a dozen times this year Byron
has been in more or less serious
trouble.
The famous McGraw Incident at
Cincinnati a couple OF months aFo
was the most notorious case. Incl
dentally McGraw was wrong IN pro-
testing the way he did when he left
the field but as an umpire Byron had
the right to appeal 10 President Tener
rather than make remarks rejecting
on McGmw's past.
Only a few days ago Byron's deci-
sion got him into so much trouble al
81. Louis that fans threw pop battles
at him and one OF the club magnates
has asked those who attended the
game 10 lombard Tener with tele
grams protesting against his reten-
tion in the league.
Byron has also had trouble in New
York and Boston.
Byron Is not the only umpire VIII,
Is continually in trouble. He is merely
cited here as an example OF the fail

ure Of league heads to Investigate
cases OF umpires who are airing their
incompetency almost daily.
In the American league the New
York club recently protested that II
had not been getting a fair deal on
umpires. Captain Huston Is quoted as
saying:
New umpires have to be broken
into the league every year OF so, but
the better umpires should be sent TO
one city as well as another. New
York has been given the poor umpires
and the green men almost entirely
and such men as Billy Evans have
been conspicuous only by their abb
sence"

kept alive by the fans who sit In the
grandstands and bleachers.
| The present-day baseball crowd has
20 be pretty mad before It will throw
pop bottles. In most cities It is pretty
fair in its treatment OF umpires OF the
Evans. ODay or OLoughlin type, who
are known TO be fair and who know
what they are doing.
But this same crowd will resent un-
fair umpiring and will deride incom-
petent umpiring
Ban and John would do we'll 20 look

and should get high grade men. In
some cases they are, in others they

Connie Mack is generally regarded
as one OF the craftiest OF managers.
Il is baseball history that he has
been able in the past 10 pick young
sters who in a year or 80 justified his
Judgment and came through with
great baseball talent and ability.
Il was Mack who found and made
such players as Eddie Collins, Jack
Barry, Jack Mclnnis. Frank Baker
and Walil0 Schang.
Seldom has his judgment OF a play
err been wrong.
But there is a young player In the
National league today who Is showing
that Mack's judgment is not infalla-
BILE.
Back In 1914 Mack secured Larry
Kopf as an understudy for Barry, who
was shortstopping then. He held on
to him two years and then sent him
back TO the International league. He
didn't even think Kopf was good
enough TO keep strings on.
