Casino management do not go astrny,
the first Monte Carlo season after the

The grounds have already been chos-

open negotiations with American club
owners, with a view to bringing two
or more teams to Monte Carlo for n
winter season. Their idea Is that,
instead Of the teams going South In
February for six weeks training, they
could come to Monte Carlo about the
middle Of January and give season

FANS DON'T LIKE R0WDYlSM
General Demand for More Aggressive.
ness on Part Of Players, Both
Major and Minor.

There is a general demand for more
aggressiveness on the part of the ball
players, both major and minor. This
is proper enough, as there has been al
together too much refinement about
baseball, which Is supposed to be n
red-blOOded masculine contest, and not
a pink tea. But In encouraging ag-
gressiveness, the magnates must not
fall into the error of reviving one
phase of aggressiveness that Is akin
to and provocative of rOwdyism In It's
worst form. That Is the indulgence In
more or less derOgatOry personal en-
changes between ball players, known
as "riding." This form of gOading an
adversary Is intolerable and should be
prohibited. Insulting opponents Is sup
posed to be evidence of fighting spirit
and ginger, and is favored by many
managers, but seldom pleases specta-
tors, especially women who sit close
to the playing field. The famous
Mackmen We're "cOlOrless," according
to scribes because they did not indulge
in "rding" opponents, but 1t Is signiii-
cant that more women attended the
games at Shibe park in the days OF
the famous machine than are on hand
at other major league parks.

manager of the st. Louis Cardinals,

"Of course, at this time the Giants
seem to be the class of the league, but
there are other clubs that will have to
be reckoned with before the end of the
season. The Pills are far from being
out of the running, and my own club,
the Cubs and the Reds, must be count

DIAMOND
NOTES

Neale Of the Reds is now hitting the
300 class.
Umpires probably would like to have
close decision included In peace terms.
Imagine nine men trying to play the
kind Of baseball that Ty Cobb would
recommend.
Bernie Boland, Detroit pitcher, has
set back the New York Yankees eight
times In row.
When the war Is over they can bring
the kaiser over and make him president
of the National league.
Seventy million dollars Is invested
In trapshooting In America, and the
sport is following the flag.
Johnny Evcrs Is about through. The
Phils may get some good work from
him, but it is doubtful.
A team composed of men like Heinie
Zimmerman and Johnny Evers would
fill any park in the country.
A scarcity of base hits and winning
tallies takes its place alongside the
shortage of beans In Boston.
Jake Fourier former White Sox
first baseman, Is setting the Coast
league aiire with his batting.
Mann gets around $4,000 as an out
fielder with the Cubs. on his army
| Job he will draw down $1,000.
The Cubs have n fine young catcher
| in pickles" Dillhoefer, who Is sharing
the backstopping with Art Wilson.
Barney Dreyfuss says he would like
to sell his Pirates. Connie Mack
might like to sell his pennant chances.
With all that McGraw must have
taken the spirit out of Heinie Zim-
norman, who has ceased to nag the
umpires.
| Jack Barry says he was hit % times
by pitched balls last season, but doesn't
believe in the beanball. Jacks Optim-
ism is admirable, anyway.
| Paddy Livingstone once refused to
report to the Indians and Connie Mack
made him member of his worlds
champions. He refused to report to
the Brewers and they made him man
ager.

many others. McGraw has cast them
aside to make room for men he thought
would do better with the men making
up his team. lie has been successful
In winning pennants and has to his
credit one worlds championship, but II
he would gather the stars he has let
slip from his grasp and form them into
one team the chances are he would
have machine that would be able to
crush the present galaxy Of stars with
which he is trying to fret his way to a
pennant.
A little more than year ago Nc
Graw set out to gather In surplus Of
stars with which he threatened to
make runaway race Of the National
league pennant. Among these was
Hans LObert. Lobert didn't even finish
the season and Is used now only as a
pinch hitter. McGraw considers him
finished, yet It is only brief stretch
of time since he went into u breach and
won game for the Giants by the bril-
lance of his fielding and hitting.
1t Is one thing to have money be-
hind and still another to be able to
build championship team.

FOR MANAGERS TO REMEMBER
Umplres Were Given Autoeratie Az.
thority on Account Of Various
Leaders and Players.

We have heard number Of mana
gers and ball players protesting vOlubly
over the czar-tinted authority given
umpires, writes Grantland Rice.
The claim Is made that umpires CIV
en- all this autOcratic control, run the
game In high-handed fashion and take
advantage Of the situation. This, to a
certain extent, Is true.
But the manager and ball player
should also remember this--the umpire
was given this authority exclusively
on account Of the action Of managers
and players.
They brought II all upon themselves
by Outbursts that would have soon
broken up the game II left uncurbed.
In every game they We're 10 or 20
against one, not including the public,
which generally made 1t 5000 against
one.
The one chance to stop this was to
give the umpire complete authority.
Without this, umpiring is an existence
beyond the resiliency Of the human
soul.

Frank Baker and half dozen other
real, high.class ball players, from
whom real, live kick In angry tones
never was heard. And these men are
almost II not quite as popular rs the
ones listed under the heading Of bel
ligerents.
The Braves, when they were driving
well and sticking around the top Of
National league standings, constituted
one Of the greatest drawing cards the
game ever has seen. Every man on the
club was a fighter. The club won Its
games by fighting.
Then there were the Athletics-men
who rarely uttered protest. They
merely played baseball and were recOg-
nized as the greatest machine baseball
ever has seen In action. They drew
powerfully In every American league
city.
The main difference seems to be the
quiet kind Of ball player draws his
check intact, while the scrapper suf'

was always looked upon as a fairly
good outfielder. He was good for n
batting average between .27O and 900,
and he had all the natural talents
that IN outticlder must have. But
who'd have thought that Cruise would
step into the National league and set
the burned old circuit on fire with
his hitting? 1t is n certainty that no
one predicted it for him. He Is just
one of those ball players, like Tim
HendryX of the Yankees who makes
the best of chance when he gets it.

STORIES

Those Cincinnati Reds are keeping
up their terrific pace.
Outfielder Wilholt, the Chicago boy,
is now member Of the Giants.
Connie Mack Is gradually working
his team up the percentage ladder.
Yanks have signed Pitcher LITER.

club.
Brooklyn has released Wheeler Dell.
Taking the wheeze out Of wheeler, as
1t were.
Some of these days Myers Of the
Athletics will win pennant for Con-
ME Mack.
Picketing the White House seems to
be about us successful as arguing with
the jumps.
Cleveland ball club has lost It's mas
cot. Maybe 1t will begin to win ball
games now.
1t seems that Joe Jackson will come
within the "alsO rams" in the race to
catch ny Cobb.
Now that Stallings has signed Ed
Walsh, maybe he can get Johnny
King to catch him.
Perhaps Jack Barry figures 1t harder
to win II flag as manager than to play
on winning team.
FOrty-three-year-old Eddie Plank Is
as good as the first day he pitched with
Connie, back in 1901.
The way to spell the peppery little
Cub catchers name Is this: Dillhoefer,
Dutch, not German.
Imagine, If you can, the grief of Ping
BOdie when Jim Callahan was chased
as manager of the Pirates.
George Burns got $50 for hitting the
bull. He's more successful than lot
of guys who try to throw it.
