Local fans are UP in arms because
Of the statement attributed to I'm
psres Evans and Dineen.
If these two arbitrators really at
tackled Mays, as reported, how can
Mays ever again expect to receive
fair treatment when he pitches from
these two American League officials?
II they feel so bitter against Mays
have they always given him an even
break in games they have umpired for
him? II they can't treat him fairly
now when he Is on the verge of ner-
Vous prostration because of his con-
nection with the Cleveland Captains
death. how could they ever be ex-
pected TO give him a square deal on
the ball field?
Here is the statement attributed TO
Messrs. Evans and Dineen:
NO pitcher I'm the American League
resorted to trickery more than Carl
Mays In attempting to rough a ball in
order to get break on II which would
make IL more difficult to hit Until the
new pitching rules which put a severe
penalty on a pitcher roughing the ball

Jockey WILLIE KNAPP, one Of

in all probability eventually be seen
with the silks on again. Early this
spring Knapp's application for a re-
nowal of his riding license was re-
fused by the Jockey Club and as
usual without any official explana-
tlon. At a meeting of the License
Committee here last evening after the
races, the case Of Knapp came up for
reconsideration, as did that OF
Charley Peak, who was set down two
years ago at Belmont Park.
Nothing official was given out by
the officers but 1t was learned that
Knapp was called into the meeting
room and asked several questions. II
is understood that the rider said he
