Single Umpire Plan

double umpire system managers and
players seem to have been foverstep- Z

scrap in Kansas City recently Tinker
and Joe Wagner were fined $50aeach.y
while Mollwitz was mulcted to the
tune of $35. Bill e-ynfer, ntniakrr,
Of Louisvilles, who had an alteration
with a rival player, was fined $50 and
suspended for three days. That did
not seem to bother Bill very much !,
for not long afterward he was fined u

Then Jack Hendricks, manager on
the Hoosiers, got the talking fever'o

finally Roger Bresnahan. manager of
the Toledos, who committed q; verbal
assault upon an umpire, got three
days rest from his arduous activitieSi.
President Hickey is generally consid..

MATTY GOT REDS
WINNING BY BEING
FRIENDLY TO MEN

Does it pay to be one of the boys
while you are manager Of a big league
baseball club? That is the question
many Of the fans are asking and the
answer seems to be in favor Of the
manager who hobnobs with his men,
writes Bud in the Pittsburgh Leader.
The Cincinnati team when it was
under manager after manager was al
ways a team that could not get up
in the race. The team was always
to be found away down in the, list oc-
cupying a position so low that they
did not have a chance to even get
into the first division.
Under Christy Mathewson the team
has changed from poor second di-
vision outfit to pennant contender
and they are only a. short distance be-
hind the leaders in the pennant chase.
Christy Mathewson always has been
a good fellow. He does not hold his
players off at arms distance while he
talks to them. He gathers the boys
about him and gets them to play the
game his way and the result Is that
the men are fighting hard for big
Six"
Matty seems to be the miracle man
in the big league race this year and
with MS players DSinS his pdiS IL As
certain that they will do the best they
can to bring the Reds into the cham
pionship.
This same kind of treatment would
be good for the Pirates. Matty has
proved it and Miller Higgins has also
done the same thing. The Cincinnati
and St. Louis teams that have never
been the lighting organizations at this
time of the baseball year are up front
fighting it out, while some of the
other teams that have been rated
higher are still in the lower places
batting to hold the positions they oc.
cupy.
Being q friend of your men ha
proved to be worth while. not only II
baseball, but in other lines, and the
| men under you are certain to do bet
| ter, work when they feel that the fell
| low who is bossing them around is {
good fellow and willing to help th'
PLAYERS if the players help him.

death in hospital here today, suf-
fering from bullet wounds inflicted
last night by his father.
Palzer sought to protect his mother

shooting him through the abdomen.
The shooting was the result of a quar-
rel between the boxers parents
Palzer ran a mile and a half with
a bullet hole through his abdomen and
another through his arm to the hos
pftal at Derham. There he told his
father came home about midnight, in
to1dcated and started quarreling with
Mrs. Palzer. Soon afterward, AL said
he heard two shots. He ran down
stairs, and as he opened the door
bullet pierced his forearm. AS he
attempted to shield his mother. he
was shot again this time through the
abdomen.
At the hospital it was said that his
recovery is doubtful. His father was
arrested. and although he does no,

claims that it was accidental. Mike
Gibbonus, of st. Paul, is ON his way
to Palzer's bedside and other fighters
have wired, offering assistance.
