UMPIRE SILK O'LoUGHLIN
 HAS PERFECT RECORD.
Says He Has Not Made Mistake in
 21 Years

While in Detroit a short time ago Silk O'Loughlin became reminiscent. Silk, who has been umpiring for 21 years. figured that he had during his period of activity made 433,6O0 de- cisions. And said the famous arb1ter: II never made one mistake"
 OLoughlin often has declared that his error column is still unstained, but he has not been anxious to dis cuss the subject. This. however, is what he said: T never made mis- take And if I did I would be an idiot to tell it. There are lots of times when the ideas of the fans as well as the athletes differ from mine. But l know I am right because what l say sticks"
 OLoughlin figures that in the 1c years he worked under the old single umpire system he made 312,000 de- cisions, and that since then he has decided 121, $50 plays. He bases his calculations on the normal number of decisions usually made in game.

Comisl<ey signed him last fall to inspire the White Sox with the fighting spirit and Gleason has accomplished the task successful Iy. The Chicago players, a a result of G1eason's influence. wide wake and right the toes. They try for everything and never give up the ship.

WHITE SOX LEADER
 TARGET OF CRUEL REMARKS
RowIa I'd Handicapped by Lack of Big
 League Experience.

Usually a manager who has his 1 team showing the way in a pennant i chase has the undivided support of | the fans who are roofing for that 1 leader Of the Chicago White SOX, who made their second appearance of the season in New York Wednesday. Row | land occupies a peculiar position in baseball, somewhat of a goat" posi- ton. in the latter day significance of the word.
 Rowland's peculiar status is due to the fact that even if he should lead his team to a worlds series he will be denied in some quarters the praise which usually is the portion of a win ming manager. If his team should fail to win the pennant and many critics are insisting that the White Sox will finish second to Boston, Row land will be blamed. So it appears that Rowland has a chance to win a lot of blame or lose lot of credit, ac- cording to the position of his club at the close of the race.
 The fact that Rowland never had any major league experience before Comiskey named him IS pilot of his club has been a handicap to the White Sox leader ever since he took ing to some extent in certain features which only the school of experience could give him, but the fact remains that Rowland makes fewer tactical
 
 lines than his players make on the sbases.
 The Chicago boss is a keen student of the game, and Comiskcy realized much when he put him in charge of the club and has kept him there for +hree seasons. Competent critics who follow the White SoX daily insist that if the team played baseball as well s Rowland can direct it, there would be doubt about the pennant But no manager can do all the thinking for his players.
 .Lany Chicago fans realize that Row iand labors under a handicap. First the story went around that he was only the fgurehead and that Eddie Collins. appointed captain al the time Rowland was made manager. would run the club. Now the tendency is to give the credit to Kid Gleason, al least among some Chicago fans. Both are unfair to Rowland. He takes advice from Gleason and listens to the ideas of Collins, but after all he is the man upon whom blame will fall for failure, so it is only just that he Bis the one who should get the credit which goes with success.
 During the recent series between the Yankees and White SOx at Chicago Rowland was the target of some re- marks that seemed almost cruel His team was out at the head of the pen nant parade at the time. Surely the fan could not ask for a higher posi- tion. yet failure of some plays 10 go through led some Of the fans to deTide the White Sox boss. X player may fail and still be an idol. but the failure of a club. due to the bluader of the, idols, goes aEainst the mana ger. Row land always under a handicap since he came into the league gets more than the others.
