KEEPS AWAY FROM UMPIREs
Huohle Jennings Accepts Rulings Of
Arblters Without Question
Kicking Doesn't Pay.

Hughie Jennings spends much Of
his time on the coaching lines, but
he makes 1t a point not to get into
trouble with the umplres. In re-
cent game an umpire made two very
close decisions, which would have
been disputed by some Of the more
hot-headed spirits of the game. But
in each instance Jennings accepted
the rulings without word. Jennings
demands the same conduct from his
players and recently called one of
them to order for kicking when IN
umpire gave n close decision. Hughie
has long come to the conclusion that
kicking doesn't pay.

UMPIRE's ADVICE WAS GOOD
Howard Ehmke, Detroit Pitcher, De-
veloped Rapidly After Being
Warned Against Emery.

Bill Brennan. the former Federal
league umpire, believes that he may
have had something to do with the sue
cess of Howard Ehmke, the brilliant
pitching recruit Of the Detroit Amert-
cans.
When Ehmke was in the Federal
league, Brennan caught him expert
menting with the emery ball and urged
him to abandon this method Of de-
livery. Ehmke did and, Brennan says,
soon learned that he had more than
enough "stuff' without It.

"But when Miss Lioness reached
BringO's lair. no big lion was to be

be filled with fear. And she thought
the great lion might have been killed
