MAYS TRIES TO
BLAME UMPIRE
New York Pitcher Says the
Roughened Ball Should Not
Have Been Allowed.

BOSTON, Aug. 1S.-The explanation
of Carl Mays, of the New York Ameri-
cans, that the killing of Ray Chapman,
star shortstop of the Cleveland club,
was due to rough spot on the ball
Mays pitched which caused it to take
an unexpected twist. was the subject
of the statement today by Umpires
William Evans and William Dineen, of
the American league.
"No pitcher in the American league
resorted to trickery more than Carl
Mays in attempting to rough ball in
order to get a break on which would
make 1t more difficult to hit" the
ing rules came into force, which put
severe penalty on pitcher roughing
the ball, Mays constantly used to drag
the ball across the pitching rubber in
order to roughen the. surface. Hun
dreds of balls were thrown out every
year because of this act"
The umpires took notice of remark
attributed to Mays that Umpire Thomas
Connolly, who was behind the plate,
was responsible for the accident be-
in the game. The umpires character
lied this alleged statement as an
''alibi'' that came withSpoor grace from
the pitcher.
"A short time ago, they added, tine
club owners complained to President
Johnson that too many balls were being
thrown out President johnson sent out
a bulletin telling the umpires to keep
the bali in the games as much as pos
sible, except those which We're dan
gerous."
Tfeplayers of the Boston and Detroit
clubs, who were at the point yester-
day of signing a petition to have Mays
banned from the game, today awaited
word from Manager Speaker, of the
Cleveland club, as to his opinion OF the
pitch which killed Chapman and his
views on their proposed action. Several
asserted that regardless of any general
actionE they would not go to bat against
Mays again.
