FANS HAVE LITTLE
USE FOR ARBITERS
President Heydler Says I'm
pires Have Few Friends.

After his many years in baseball.
John A. Heydler, president of the
National league, is convinced that
players and fans have little use for
the umpires. Heydler just about says
so in his special instructions" to the
officials.
If there is any doubt about it, read
as follows, and find out for yourself: :
study the rules daily. A thorough
knowledge of them is your greatest
asset. Be courteous and firm and so
compel respect from all, and never
lose sight of the fact that friendship
for the umpire, appreciation of his ar
duous duties, and practical cooper
alton in his troubles rarely extend
outside of this office"
Another thing, Heydler likes um-
pires who are able to stand on their
own feet' and are not everlastingly
appealing to fellow mate to make
the decision in some intricate play.
He wants them to be in the right spot
at the right time and get their own
plays.

Harry ]. Rockefeller, graduate man.
ager of athletics at Rutgers university,
announces that Dennis Mulligan, cap
tain of the West Point football team
In 1923, has been appointed coach of
the Rutgers freshman football eleven.
This gives the Rutgers coaching
staff two former West Point stars.
Mulligan succeeds Don Storck, his
teammate for four years on the army
squad, who will be chief assistant to
Head Coach Rockefeller next fall.
Another boost for the managerial
ability of DOME Bush, leader of the
White Sox, is the fine play of Bill Cis-
sell, Sox shortstop, who is playing
second base under the Bush regime.
Cissell gives Bush credit. In 1923 Cis-
sell was a widely heralded star of the
Coast league, playing with Portland.
Comiskey is said to have paid $123,-
600 for his release, $4,000 in cash
and $4,000 in players.
Bush has helped me immensely"
says Cissell. "He has shown me sew
eral things that have been helpful to
me, and I am playing with greater
confidence than ever before. Bush is
the greatest manager I've played
under"
