MAJOR LEAGUES MAY CHANGE
UMPlRING STAFFS
By Mark Shields

staffs Will have the attention of Pres
ident Johnson of the American
League and Tener of the National
before the opening Of the season,
and several changes may be an
nOunced shortly.
Conditions last season were far
from satisfactory in both leagues,
the American having difficulty for
( the first time in several campaigns.
j Owner Zoe Lannin of the Boston Red
Sox went so far as to declare that
members of the staff were throwing
! the hooks into his team, said state
ment bringing him into the bad
graces Of Johnson.
In the National pickering was con-
slant and some of the indicator han
dIers appeared unable to maintain
discipline on the field. The big blow
off came here when Umpire Byron
forfeited a game from the Cubs.
Protests were made by Pres. Weegh-
man and Manager Tinker, but By
rOn's action stood. He was in trou-
BILE throughout the circuit, as much
for lack of tact as for mistakes of
judgment
Two or three other members of
the staff showed signs of having out
lived their usefulness, but were re-
tanned. Now it is probable President j
Tener will make some changes, add
ing some new men and discarding
one or two veterans.
Ban johnson announces he will
have only eight ,umpires for the com
ing season, instead of nine, as in the !
past. AS George Moriarty has been
added to the roster, two men who
worked last season will have to go.
A good guess could be made as to
the pair to be discarded, but COM
ment will await official word from
Johnson.
Manager Rowland and Pitcher Joe
The day book., 1917-01-11

their season training with thrice
weekly hikes from Washington park
to the loop. They inaugurated the
plan yesterday. Firty-fve minutes
is the time they claim for the dis
tance.
Training at the Mineral Wells
camp will not start until March 10
this spring, a radical departure for
the South Siders, who heretofore
have undertaken long courses of
preparation. President COmiskey be-
ieves the new system will get his
team away in good shape, and grad
ually bring it to form as the season
progresses.
In the past the Sox. fresh from a
long series of exhibition games, have
started at fast clip, only to fade
as the other teams came to the apex
of their form as summer came on.
Kid Williams, whose bantamWeight
title was taken through. a decision by
Pete Herman in New Orleans Tues
day night, is eager for a return bat
tie and offers the new title holder
$6,500 bonus for a battle immedi-
ately. Herman says he wants a rest
and there, is little chance for a battle
in the near future.
What Herman will do-is to capital
ize his crown and make some easy
money through vaudeville engage
ments and light exhibition battles. In
the light of action by other cham
pions, he cannot be criticized for
this.
Some of the boys panning Les
Darcy for not fighting Immediately
seem to forget entirely the actions
Of a few of our own tOp-nOtchers.
Darcy has no American title to de-
fend. He is not a recognized cham
pion. He is not to be criticized as
much as Willard, who has fought
one ten-round exhibition since win
ming the heavyweight title.
Jack Britfon had an easV time de-
