1t was said that the complaint
was made by John McGraw but
this was heatedly denied by offic-

McGraw by telephone at his Pei

UMPIRE
Beans" Reardon Expected
to Make Hit in Bos-
ton, at Least

President John Heydler of the
National League is said 10 be ne
gOtiating with the head of the
Pacific Coast League for the serv-
ices of John Reardon, picturesque
umpire from the Golden West, who
will be popular among Boston fans
because of the fact that he sports
the knickname of Beans. Beans,
according to the writer's of the
coast, is a hard man to spill either
on or off the ball yard.
Reardon is native son of Los
Angeles. After unpiripg four years
in the Canadian League he was
signed for service in the coast cir
cult. His debut was in his home
town, and writer's say he made a
hit on his opening day that stamped
him as an umpire who would brook
no nonsense.
Charley Pick, who was playing for
Sacramento, was on first base In
this game and attempted to steal
second. but RearClon called him out.
The play was close and Pick, see.
ing the new umpire. figured he
could scare him, 50 he leaped to
his feet and called him few choice
names.
You're out twice. SAID Reafdon,
"here. at second base and out OF
the game. Let's see how fast you
can get to the clubhouse
Around the circuit Reardon gained
respect for his action in tossing the
first man who disputed his decision
out of the game, but Pick never
forgave him. During the flag end
of. last season Pick took exception
to some of Reardon'ss decisions and
started a punch at him. Reardon
swapped wallops and did not get
any the worst OF it

In brief, the testimony uncovered
nothing beyond what the public has
known for months. Yet the feel
ing will not down that there is an
insidious something lurking in the
depths of the entire affair. l
think it is safe to assume that
Judge Lands feels the same way
about it. but his hands are tied
by lack of a fresh or even dis
cernibIe trail.
On the morning the scandal
broke, the writer had the doubtful
pleasure of routing the judge out
of his bath in order to inquire for
further particulars. Among other
things. he said:
81 have gone as far as It is
humanity possible to go OH the
evidence presented. But / want
you to understand that this ease
Is not closed. 1t is merely mark
ing time"
The testimony bears out Lands
in every particular. On the face OF
II there was nothing to be done
beyond what he did.
Dolan was unable to offer an ado
quate defense and his replies To
questions were such that any jury
would have found him guilty. In
the case of the three others, it was
their word against that of self
confessed fixer, and the judges
course was obvious. He could do

that of one who was to be cast into
the limbo of basebalI's forgotten on
his own recognizance.
Dolan is the keynote of the situa-
ton. Standing convicted in the
eyes of baseball. he later found
tongue to deny any knowledge of
the transaction, and it is his stead
fast claim of innocence that has
tied the judges hands.
Had DOlan confessed, granting
that he had anything to confess,
the Judge could then have ear.

of his charges against Kelly, Fr1sch
and Young? Were they inspired
against some unseen hand for the
purpose of drawing a red herring
across the trail? That is posi-

The victor used to be in the
gymnasium class at Nebraska,
but he was so rough they had
to slap him in the football line.
Proving too tough for that vi
ciousq assignment they decided
to make boxer of him.
As a boxer he played the
prettiest game of 'possum you
ever saw, complaining that they
ought to upholster the ring so
that he could sleep more soundly.
1t was then they discovered that
it was wrestling he was banker
ing after.
Some interested neighbors
bought him a set of tights and
dared Stranger Lewis to come
to Kansas City and inspect
their new-found gorilla. He laid
Lewis out so completely that
many believe what Mum really
should be is an undertaken.
Lewis was down in the or
chestra pit alright, but he didn't
have any instrument to play.
The management has been sued
since for one bass fiddle.
And now the best specialists
in Missouri are running race
to see who can guess the near
est date Lewis will discard his
crutches.
By that time, Mum can be a
million miles away in any direc.
ton you care to mention, and
if he isn't he's too dumb to be
a wrestler anyway.

very common error is selecting
the wrong club for the work it is
expected to do. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that each club works nor
mally within a certain range, and
we speak of a mashie distance and
so on. Use q proper club for the
proper work. The driver is for the
greatest distance, the brassie next,
and the irons go down a gradually
diminishing scale Sometimes the
PLAYER can manage to make a short
distance club do long distance work,
hut It is a self-deceptlve habit and
not at all to be advised.
An only too common fault in
making a golf swing is swinging
the body instead of the club. The
body should be turned at the waist
and the clubhead should be swung.
Another very common error Is
|dinping the clubhead below the
shoulders. that is overswinging.
Hitting the ball prematurely before
we are comfortably set is another
mistake we are likely to make.
Another thing to avoid is playing
too much off the left foot and
care must be taken not to crouch
over the bali too much. OF course,
one must be somewhat bent, but
it is a case in which Judgment
must be used Gripping the club
in the palms insteaC Of the fingers
consider very serious mistake
for golf is a game of touch ana
that sense lies in the fingers; it Is
an extremely difficult thing to
place a shot with a palm grip.
