COM|SKEY MAKES HOWL
Charges Ban johnson Secretly Order
ed Umpires to Watch His
Pitchers.

CHICAGO. August 31.-In the words
of President Charles comiskey Of the
White Sox the American League pen
nant race seems to have developed into
an obstacle event. This is at least true
so far as the Pale Hose are concerned
believes the Old Roman. who openly
charged Ban Johnson. American League
chief as being responsible for tactics
that are detrimental to the Southsiders
as well as to the game itself.
The verbal outburst was the outcome
of the actions of Umpire Dineen, who
wasted valuable time examining and
throwing out balls pitched by Eddie
Cicotte and allowing the Browns to de-
lay play while protesting against the
alleged illegal delivery of the Sox star.
Disgusting was the word applied by
Comiskey in his reference 10 the hap
penings in this particular case. He said
that not only the fans considered it
such, many leaving as early as the sec
ond inning, when the protests few
thick and fast. but that IT WAS disgust
ing to think that experienced umpires
would interfere with a pitcher whose
alleged shine ball, licorice ball. etc, had
been passed on by headquarters and
found legal.
To Comiskey's way of figuring there
is only one answer for the persistency
with which umpires keep after Cicotte
and Danforth. another manipulation of
arbiters are working on orders from
American League headquarters. II true,
then Ban johnson has secretly instruct
ed his staff to be on the alert for il
legal pitching tricks, while on the other
hand he has publicly announced that
he was unable to find any fault with
the balls used by the pitchers in ques-
ton and turned in to him for examina-
ben forced to admit, simply because he
cannot discover anything to the con-
trary. that Cicotte and Danforth are
not guilty OF manipulation Of the pill.
