BY RAY

Welll welli Wenl Al Lewis has
gone to work, fellows. You had bet
ter get your presents ready.
The fighting lion, Bill Lewis. is
now working knocking brick walls
down.
Dope Hanlin and Jazz Boy Rainey
are two typical Irishmen. They
never miss a wake.
Someone said Rube Meredith was
d mystery man. Why? Well just
watch him on a Sunday night.
Who was the huckster and side
show man who came up Union street
yesterday? That was none other
than Rang-a-tang Happy and Thorp.
What is the matter? Chick VollS

The vamp of Browntown. to Hnd out.
Tough luck, Chirp. old boy! We
sure are sorry you couldn't play
Tuesday night, but we sure do wish
you all luck in the world for the re-
naming games.
Someone wanted to know IL model
Wholen was a huckster at the game
last Saturday. No. he is just a
strong Eleventh Ward rooter. More
power to him.
We wonder why Souple Burten
stands out in front of the house ev-
cry night playing ball. Someone said
Just for the benefit of the vamps
across the street.
Doesn't that girl on Rodney street
ever give Andy Pamar a night off

humdinger.

Lands Will Be Glad
To Lay Aside GaUeI

He doesn't miss a game when
either the sox or Cubs are at home.
His eyes snap with youthful pep as
ne watches the players warm up. He
s a fan from the tips OF his toes to
he top Of his gray hair.
During the few months he has
been basebalrs supreme dictator the
judge has proven his ability to handle
he highest salaried job in the game
$4,000.
Not once have his decisions been
questioned.
Magnates. who before Lands took
office we're constantly quarreling
followed him like lambs after he put
on the baseball toga.
Landis settles perplexing prob
lens as quickly and as judicially as
he does the crime cases he hears
daily in his court.
Just as he has applied horse sense
TO settling peoples troubles he has
applied 1t TO baseball.
There is a right and a wrong side
to baseball quarrels and the car
has hatted a thousand so far.
As long as he remains on the
bench he will get a salary of $500
for his court job and S42.50O from
baseball. He'll draw $4,000 from
baseball alone when he quits the
| bench.
When one man can restore the
faith of millions of baseball fans in
game that had become tainted he's
worth every cent Of the $4,000 and
more.
How long Lands will remain ir
favor with the baseball gods is an.
other matter.
They sre hard business men. II
the last analysis they follow a lead
err just so long as he fits into theii
scheme of affairs.

WARD AND CARTER
In OXFORD BASEBALL

Both Christopher L. Ward. Jr., OF
this city, and f. Bayard Carter. OF
Newark. are taking an active part
in American baseball at oxford
University. Both are Rhodes
scholars from Delaware. In a letter
bearing date April 20, young Carter
says:
To-day we had a practice base
ball game and my class won, 6 to 2.
Next Thursday the league starts.

Chris Ward played first base for
the other class and got two good
hits and played well. Buell. Trow-
bridge. my old schoolmate in Flush
ing. played short for them. He did
good work. Our catcher did not
show up. so 1 caught for my side.

ment and with it the ability of a
trained athlete to get around the
ring. Eddie Graney of California
probably as finished a referee as ever
ordered a pair of fighters to break
and who can toll OF the seconds will
the accuracy of a split-second watch
is another good man. The late Jacl
McGuigan OF Philadelphia. woult
have been another good third man.
as he knew every angle of the game.
Danger i'm Referees.
The trouble with our referees Of
today is that they are chosen more
as a favor than for their ability. In
stead Of being named because they
are merely good fellows and stand
well with the principals or the man
ayers and the promoter, their knowl-
edge Of the duties of a referee and
OF the rules, as they arc now in
terpreted, shoud be taken into con-
sideration. The fact that a man has
witnessed many fights, has hob
nobbed with fighters. managers and
promoters does not make a compe-
tent referee of him.
What is needed is not big fat
fellow whose sole claim to fame is
based upon the brand Of rum that
he may have sold before the country
dried up and almost blew him away
but an active man with a ring brain
lEdgren and Graney represent the
highest type Of the latter class.
Few Know How.
Few referees OF today know how
to handle the boxers. They have nc
right to tell a boxer when and how
to fight or to manhandle him in the
clinches If a boxer is deliberately
running away from a fight the ref
cree has the power to disqualify him
but If he is showing skill and gen
eralship in warding off the attack o
. a dangerous opponent or playin
, around for an opening, the refere
has no right to below to him, Say
kid, II you don't fight pretty soon II

Ruth Sets Pace For
Kelly in SuOatting Pill

Rogers Hornsby OF the Cardinals
and leading hitter OF the Nationals
last. year stepped into the lead for
batting honors during the past week
with percentage OF Al. George
Kelly OF the Giants leads the run
scorers with 20 tallies. A tie exists
for the most hits. Rogers Hornsby
and Jimmy Johnston of the Robins
poled 33 apiece. George Kelly tops
the sluggers with z home runs. Sam
Bonne OF the Reds is showing the
way along the base paths with Z
stolen bases and Wilbur Cooper Of
the Pirates occupies hurting honors
with victories and nary a defeat.
Max Carey OF the Pirates conclud-
ed the longest run scoring in the Ma
tional League by going scoreless May
to the Cardinals. Up to this game
Carey had tailed IL runs in his last
nine contests.
Clarence Twombly OF the Cubs has
hit safely in every game he engaged
for his team this year nine games
in all, and his streak is unbroken to
date. During his stretch of hitting
Twombly came through with IS
safe slams in 22 batting tries for a
percentage OF $50 and scored 8 runs
The Boston Braves blanked the
Pittsburgh Pirates one to nothing af-
ter 13 innings on May IL, Dana Fill
lingim besting Earl Hamilton. This
is the longest major league one to
Tfr1s 1919
when Elmer Jacobs OF the Phillies
licked Cyril Siaonicka OF the Pirates
by count OF one to nothing in 13
rounds.
Walter Manarville OF the Pirates
after hitting safely his last FIVE
games and getting hits in II at
tempts for an average of All, quit
May II to Dana Fillingim.
Billy Southwork OF the Braves cell
ebrated his second appearance
against his old team by ramming five
hits off Earl Hamilton OF the Pir-
ates on May II. SOuthwork is the
second National Lacquer getting a
quintet OF hits in one game, his
mate. Walter Barbara. was tho first
player.
Zeb Terry OF the Cubs, after hit
ting safely his last nine games, quit
May 10 TO a trio OF Phillie hurlers
During his stretch Of hitting. Terry
came through with I 3 bingles in 81
trials for a batting figure OF .4l9.
Hugh McQuillan Of the Braves
halted two Phillies that were on hit
ting streaks on May Z. Russell
wrighstone had hit safely his last
games and gotten l2 hits in 20 trie
for Ala and Cy Williams for
games hit 12 bingles in 81 trials 10
.444. when Mas stopped them.
George Cutshaw OF the Pirate
tailed four runs in the game o
May 6. he is the second Nationa
Lacquer turning this trick this year
There have been nine scoreles
victories in the National League thi
year to date. or this number the
Pirates, Cubs and Phillies felt th'
bristles OF the whitewash brush twice
apiece while the Braves and Robins
have yet to feel its sting. In the
American League a like number OF
shutouts have been hurled with the
Yankees and Tigers yet unscathed
The Senators. Browns and Athletics
were blanked once while the Indians
White and Red Sox were shut oui
twice each.

KiIbane Tells Who Should
Referee and Why

throw you out OF the ring"
Nor has the referee the right,
when one man is holding with both
hands and the other is fighting with
one free arm to grab each by an arm
and tear them apart as though he
were splitting a couple of sheets Of
sticky hypaper. The man holding
with both hands can be warned and
If he continues to offend he can be
disqualified, but there is no need Of
grabbing both men and hurting them
to different sides of the ring, or. by
chance, of turning one man as to
leave him in position to receive a
possible knockout punch from his
opponent
Grancy Shonc.
II the boxers can be convinced that
the referee means business when he
alks of disqualification there will be
little holding. That is where Graney
shone as a referee. He never went
,etwcen the boxers. In fact. he
rarely took his hands from behind
his back. If they were locked he
would say quietly and suavely, Now
freak like gentlemen. boys" and
hey broke but il one failed to heed
ne warning he would say just as
,leasanty to the offender, at the same
me tapping him lightly on the
houlder. Il won't tell you again to
,reak.' and the boy to whom he
poke knew that the next offense
| leant disqualification.
Another great fault OF the present
day referee is his proneness to play
to the gallery He prefers to satisfy
the house rather than to give the
boxers a right deal. If a couple OF
! boxers go in and slug their heads Of
| for two or three rounds and ther
are forced. by exhaustion, to take q
rest, the bloodthirsty and uninitiat,
| Immediately jump to the conclusion
that they are taking and begin t'
howl for more blood. The referee, II
too many cases, unmindful of th'
condition of the boxers. but wishing
to win favor with the yelpers, bark!
at the leg. lung and arm weary boys
"Garn an fight or outcha 60" Onl
a fool referee, one who does no
know and who does not care for thl
sport for the sports sake. will d'
that. but unfortunately there arr
many OF that brand.
Would Train En-.
II It were left to me, I would com
pei every man who aspired to be
come a referee, to go through a thor
ough course Of mental and physica
training-mental training to Civ
him judgment and knowledge of tn
? rules and physical training to max
it possible for him to get out Of hi
own way when the going is fast an
to be able to step around the ring a
Z all times in order that all of tn
z spectators may see what is going o
