BROWN BOSS GIVES
SISLER FREE HAND
Tells Versatile Star to Study
Ty Cobb and Play the
Same Kind Of Game
He Does.

George Sisler will have no one to
blame but himself If he doesn't go out
and play the game off the map. He
is free to go the limit, Manager Field
er Jones, who has been accused of
trying to do the thinking for his whole
team, had . heart-to-heart talk with
Sisler the other day and spoke to the
Michigan star something like this;
"You are the best player in base ball
outside OF Ty Cobb. At your age and
with your ability you ought to be as
good a player in time as Cobb, or even
better, if that's possible. But you
won't unless you get out and do things
like Cobb does--initiate plays, I'd like
to see you start something once In a
while.e
"Ty's been in the game ten years.
This is only my second year, and !
don't want to appear tresh,' said
Sisler.
"You're all wrong" answered Jones,
II want you to be Just as fresh as they
make them, If you call 1t that,
Here are your standing orders
Play your own game. Hit when you
please, run as far as you like, steal
when you think the time is ripe, make;
the others play after you or ahead
Of you. Do just what Ty Cobb does
on his team-be the whole thing"
Jones believes these instructions, IT
carried out, will make Sisler greater
player. He thinks he has been too
diffdent. He wants to see him pull
some of the stuff that Ty pulls and
believes he can get away with Just as
much of It.
Jones is always preaching Cobb to
his players, but it is more than any
manager could expect that any con-
siderable number could 60 out and do
Cobb stuff. He really believes Sisler
can. though. At least he wants him
to try,
Jones has noted particularly since
his return to the American league that
the runners can't get away on the
pitchers like they used to in the old
days and he's ever after his Browns
to study the pitchers.
Study their feet, their legs, their
arms and their heads when they are
pitching-get the little tipoffs to what
they mean to do, for every pitcher has
his peeuliarities, That's what we used
to do. ] remember how we used to
study Cy Young. We discovered that
with a man on first base he'd always
look over to the base twice, then jerk
his head to the left before pitching.

New Orleans Owner Swaps
Star PLAYER for a Laugh

Blinkey Horn In the Nashville Ten
nessean tells a story Of a player deal
that beats the one about Roger Bres-
nahan selling Pitcher Booth Hopper
to Dick Kinsclla for a bird dog: In
this case the player was sold for q
smile, The story runs like this:
The Southern league club owners
were meeting to discuss the woes OF
the Mobile club. Secretary Parker of
Mobile was telling President Heine-
mann OF New Orleans that if Mobile
could get a few players from other
clubs It would try to pull through,
and Parker suggested that New Or
leans should donate Jimmy Esehen
to Mobiles cause.
For some reason or other this
struck Heinemann as funny and he
laughed.
ing matter with u.s." said the Mo-
bile secretary gloemily. -,
All right; I'll not laugh again"
said Heinemann. If do you can
have Eschen."
"You mean II ! can make you
laugh you will give me the player"
asked Parker.
That's the idea" came back from
Heinemann.
The conference OF club owners
broke up and Heineman and Parker
took berths for home. Early in the
morning Parker stuck his head into
Heinenann's berth, woke him up and
said: "Do you know what l
dreamed last nighti dreamed Mo-
bile had won the pennant." =.
Heinemann broke out into loud
laugh. Parker reminded him OF the
promise and claimed the player. But
Heinemann can still laugh, for Eschen
refused to report to Mobile.

PIRATES START OUT WITH A WIN UNDER OLD HONUS;
CONNIE MACKS TRIBE GATHER IN DOUBLE COMBAT
WESTERN SEASON
TWO WEEKS LONGER
Championship Series Between
Leaders of New Divisions to
Wind Up Pastime ip
Middle Of September.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 3o.-tspecial
Telegram.)-The playing season OF
the Western league has been divided
into two sections. the first ending July
q and the second ending September
ID, two weeks later than the date
originally set by the magnates. Two
pennants will be won.
This extension was made at meet
ing of the league directors here today,
the special session having been called
by E. W. Dickerson, newly elected
president.
Two pennants will be won. This
makes it possible for seven-game
post-season championship series for
the championship Of the league. In
the event different teams win the two
pennants, such as series will be
played, the arrangements for which
will be made when It Is determined
whether a series OF this class is neees-
sary.
No More Mileage.
The extension Of the season does
not call for any additional mileage as
the teams will play four-game series
on their last trip of the year, thus
making no extra trip necessary in taxi
ing in the two weeks extra games.
The extension was thought adyisa-
Bile because the business of the league
has been so good, with the exception
OF Denver and St. Joseph, that the
magnates do not want to close the
schedule September ), as originally
planned,
Three Years for Dickerson.
President Dickerson's term Of Office
was extended to three years and he
was allowed a secretary to take care
OF his Office business so that he will
have more time te visit the various
cities OF the league and keep in close
touch with conditions,
1t was decided tonight to fine 4
pitcher $50 for the gss of the emery
ball. Fer = second offense he will b.
suspended thirty days, A fine of $2s
will bs assessed an umpire who re-
fuses to turn a suspicious ball over te
a manager demanding to see 1t.
July IS was named by w. A, Reurke
as flag raising day in Omaha with
Denver as the attraction,
To Speed Up Play,
The umpires are to be instructed te
shorten the time Of play as much as
possible by insisting that the player:
hurry on and off the field and to ths
plate,
Both the Wichita and St. joseph
club are to be strengthened, Tht
start was made tonight when 1t wa.
announced that Dick Crutcher, hurlel
for the Kansas City Blues, will go te
St. Joseph and Joe Wagener, inheldel
for the Kansas City club, will 60 te
Wichita, provided Wagener ant
Frank Isbell can agree on salary
Roy Hartzel may become manager
of the Denver team, succeeding Rebe
Oakes, who will remain as outheldel
If the change is made. Hartzel is with
Toledo Of the American association
and he had talk with Hughis Jones
owner OF the Denver team, last nigh
regarding salary. i they come to az
agreement, it Is likily that Hartze
will be placed in charge OF that clut
at once, according to Mr., Jones.
Applications for franchises in th'
league were made by Hutchinson
Kan; Springfield, Mo, and Pueblo
Colo, but they were not acted upon

PA ROURKE ADMITS
GAME IS SLIPPING
Omaha Magnate, Formerly
Stanchest of optimists, FL
nally Declares Base Ball
Needs a Rest.

Base ball is about shot" This is
the conclusion Pa Rourke, formerly
the staunchest supporter of the grand
old game and most cheerful OF op-
timists, has reached.
Two years ago when the Western
league first began to find the uphill
grade pretty steep to pull on high Pa
confidently asserted the lack OF inter.
est was temporary and that revival
would come about shortly.
"The game Is too strongly en-
trenched to die" he declared, Even
last year Pa expressed the belief that
all would be well In another year.
But his tune has changed. Failure
of the fans in all the cities in the loop
to attend the games this year finally
has led Pa to believe the base ball
doctors who diagnosed that the dla'
mend pastime was Shot" were right.
II guess the game needs rest for
wear or two," he said. 1T isn't CON-
pletely gone; | believe If the leagues
would suspend for year or two the
fans would appreciate what they
passed up and would turn out again..
Will Not Quit.
Pa, however, does not intend to
quit He says he'll stick to the ship
until It sinks. His pride in Omaha is
too great to give up. ut would be a
black mark on Omaha's name to have
Omaha's club owner consent to quit"
he said,
But it's going to cost him money to
continue unless change occurs, Jep-
Yin alone is doing a good business.
And Joplin is the smallest city in the
league, It has less than 10000 pepu-
lation, yet with no better team Is
drawing more people than Omaha
with over 100000 population.

one Of them went into Mysteries when
they saw Earl Smith perform, "A

dict OF every one. They all want him.
But they don't want to spend any
money for him, 49,
II a minor magnate Is lucky he
might be able to sell real star for a
few dollars cash for immediate deliv-
cry. But there doesn't seem to be a
chance to get a price or make a bar
gain for fall delivery,
If these were ordinary times Pa
Rourke would be foolish to sell Smith
for less than $500 and the way the
scouts take to him the competition
might boost the price even higher.
But the way the scouts are talking
this year, much as they like Earl,
there Isn't much chance for Pa to
cash In.
These be hard times, Dol

This Is One Time Byron
Bit Off To Bio a Chew

Umpire Bill Byron, who just now Is
in the public eye a good deal, got
tripped up in game IN st. Louis a
couple of years ago in way that still
causes a laugh, when he pulled his
stunt of running" players to the club
house. The story runs like this
The game was going along so
smoothly that Byron had to look tor
an opportunity to cause some excite
ment. He found it when some one
on the Cardinals bench made casual
remark about a strike or something.

ranging around ninety-hve and ninety
eight miles an hour.
Lewis Makes Mark.
Dave Lewis in his Hoskins Special
set up a mark for the boys to shoot
at by qualifying at an average OF 100
miles an hour. Dave sent his little
red mount around the oval in 42!2
seconds. This practically assures
him OF a place in the front ranks OF
the starters as 1906 miles an hour is
considerable speed at which to qualify.
Eddie Hearne qualified his Duesen.
berg in 43.6 seconds, an average OF l05
miles an hour.
Both Lewis and Hearne have two
more chances to qualify and they may
be able to better their marks.
Joe Thomas, Walter Haines, Tom
Alley, Andy Burt, Jerry Mason, Omar
Toft and Hal Brinker were others
testing out the track yesterday, Alley
and Brinker were out for the first
time. Brinker just entered his
Brinker Special Friday night: 1t is an
eight-cylinder Job, tnc only elgnt-
cylinder car in the race. He made 1t
himself.
Practically all Of the sixteen driv-
ers now in Omaha will take their
elimination trials this afternoon, start
ing at 2 o'clock, Direct car service to
the speedway has been arranged and
Il is believed a big gathering OF the
railbirds who want a chance to give
their favorite a pre-race investigation,
will be on hand for the doings.
Officials for the race were named
yesterday. Fred Wagner will be
starter, Spike Kennedy will be referee
and Bert Murphy umpire. Prof. R. A,
