.SHIRES VENTS
His FEELINGS
Blackburne Says He Will
Boss Club, or Else; Cis-
sell In Revolt

DALLAS, Tex, April 2.-(P)-
Revolution has broken out in the
ranks of the White SoX because Of
the training methods and d~isciplin-
airy measures enforced by Manager
Lena Blackburne. Blackburne,
the rebels charged, had wounded
their pride by shopping" on their
actions off the diamond. Further
more, they said the team was not
being run right and they were
forced to play fourth rate teams on
precariouS diamonds without any
possibility of learning any baseball.
Despite recent warnings from
the Chicago headquarters and his
three-day benching and the loss OF
his ~captaincy for breaking a train
ing rule, Art Shires, Rookie first
baSeman, dictated a statement in
which he gave vent to his feelings.
Il didn't want to come to this
club in the first place." the Texan
said. And / didn't ask them for
the captaincy. If they don't want
me to play first base for them, all
right, too. If they don't want me
on their squad, all right again. Let
them trade me or send me back to
the minors. There are plenty clubs
that al use me-"
Several other plays, not as bold
as Shires to give a public state
ment, complained they were being
treated as Juveniles.
Blackburne said he was running
the club and he intends to en-
force the training rules.
Bill CisSell, who cost the White
Sox $123,00 in 1927, was another
who openly admitted his dissatis-
faction. Cissell. like Shires, was
benched for breaking rules.

BY ARRET

The hidden ball trick is a great
favorite among the bush league
clubs. They try it on an average
OF about once a game and ring in
all kinds Of fancy variations.
When only one umpire is work
ing a game this play is really very
difficult to call properly. Most Of
the time the umpire is fooled Just
as badly as the base runner. and
he must get his wits together i'll
a hurry to save himself from an
embarrassing position.
Down at Taylor, Tex, a play
came up on a hidden ball trick
that never was satisfactorily solved
although under big league con-
ditions this miXup probably could
not have happened.
With a runner on third base play
was suspended while a pinch hit
ter and a pinch runner entered
the game. During the confusion
the third baSeman in some way
managed to get the ball and con-
cealed it by dropping it into his
IcdI pOChGI.
When play was resumed the
pitcher fooled around the hill long
enough for the runner to stray
from third. Shouting to attract
the umpire's attention, the third
Sacker leaped upon the surprised
runner and both lost their foot
ing to sprawl on the ground.
The third baseman had the run
ner blocked from the bag, but In
the mixup he could not extract
the ball out of his pocket. He was
a big fellow and managed to hold
the runner off until finally IL
wrenched out the ball to make the
out.
The offensive team claimed in
reference by the fielder on the
ground that he did not have the
ball in his hand. InfieIder insisted
ball was in his fingers inside the
pocket all the time, and hat A
long as the ball was in his posses
sion ne had the right to block the
bag. The Umpire ruled the man
sale and told the team to prote5r
the game if it cared to.

jeopardy. It was Just about that same
time that the trouble with Russia broke.
A settlement was effected with Gen.
Feng, Gen. Yen asserting, certain flnan-
cial considerations figuring. But there
has been no confidence in Feng's con-
tinued loyalty to the Marking govern
ment and the fear has been openly ex-
pressed that In the case of war with
Russia Feng would be found again In
rebellious action with his large and
remarkably faithful army.
The latest outbreak of fighting on
the border between Siberia and Man
churia is the most serious since the
beginning Of the troubles and may prove
to be so grave as to carry the two gov
ernments into war despite their evident
desire to avoid it. Border raids and
presumably unauthorized troop move
ments against boundary towns may in
themselves furnish q justification for
war, but with each side contending
that the other is the aggressor. In
such case the original trouble and cause
of the unfortunate situation becomes
obscured. The issues over the Chinese
Eastern Railway are not. particularly
difficult In themselves, but the general
situation is such that any dispute may
evoke latent bitterness, bringing China
and Russia into a conflict that cannot
be narrowly localized.

Working Up q War in Asia.

HPeace negotiations" between the Chi
nese and the Russians are progressing
in a peculiar manner. They are indeed
more like state Of war than sincere
effort to avoid It, Every few days comes
word of a proposal by one side or the
other looking to settlement, only to be
followed by an outbreak Of hostilities.
Then comes a lull and renewal Of
peace movements, until the belief has
prevailed that neither side really wants
to fight.
This deduction from the conflicting
and confusing conditions In Northern
Manchuria is probably correct. Had
there been a disposition on the part Of
either the Russian or the Chinese gov
eminent to go to war over the question
of management Of the Chinese Eastern
Railway and the raiding Of the Russian
consulate at Hardin, hostilities on a
large scale would by now have been in
progress. Russia has made certain pro-
posals for settlement which the Man.
king government has rejected, but not
with such finality as to close the door
to negotiation. The truth seems to be
that China is In no condition to risk
national unity by foreign war, while
Russia is likewise not in shape to con-
duct a military campaign SO far from
base as Manchuria.
. Recent reports from China disclose
that the situation of the Nationalist
government, though China is more
nearly unified than at any time since
the overthrow of the Manchu imperial
dynasty, is still unstable owing to the
disposition of certain war lords to
quarrel with the Marking authorities.

Of them have spent two nights and q
day in police precinct cell recovering
from the effects Of excessive indulgence,
in one form or another, and the trip
to the prisoners cell in Police Court
is merely another step on the way to
the relative (. comforts Of the District
Jail. The Judge who sets them on
their way, and speedily, is guilty of
nothing more than q form Of humane
tarianisrn for which the majority Of
prisoners are duly appreciative.
What bearing this rapid dispensation
Of justice, and its casual acceptance by
the average prisoner, hes upon the gen.
eral crime situation is a problem that
will gladly be left for solution by the
Presidents commission Of experts. The
remedy for machine-gun activity by
Police Court judges is simple and not
hard to find. More judges should be
provided and more facilities added to
Police Court equipment, for such addi-
tions would permit a leisurely atmos-
phere that is now impossible. And
with time and money the State might
be able to look into the antecedents of
each case and flnd q better way Of
curing it than by imposing a sentence
Of ninety days In jail.
This money and time may come with
an enlightened sense Of social respon-
sibility that now is largely dulled by the
repeated and regular appearance in
Police Court Of those who know nothing
more and expect nothing more than
