National League Umpire Misses
First One In Demonstration
By GAYLE TALBOT
NEW YORK—(®)—Albert (Dol
ly) Stark, the National League um
pire, suddenly crouched with a
strained expression: on his face and
stared fixedly at a cuspidor in a
far corner of the room.
He wasn’t startled. He merely
wag demonstrating in advaace of
opening day that all umpires are
not blind; that some of them, at
least, have uncommonly good vis
ion,
“Now do something,” he chal
lenged. “Anything, And you’ll ad
mit I'm not looking at you . . .
okay. You moved your right hand,
didn’t you? And you crossed your
legs, too. That's how we've got to
learn to call 'em out of the corners
of our eves.”
It wae a thrilling exhibition, and
evep a little mystifying. Stark was
so obviously pleased with his
spring form that the writer didn't
have the heart to tell him #hag he
hadn’t actually crossed his legs on
he play — hadn’t, in fact, moved
Budge, Mako Deny
They Demanded
Expenses to Play
L.OS ANGELES—(#)—The cham
poinship tennig combination of J.
Donald Budge and Gene Mako—
wtih Makgy as spokesman—entered
a flat denial today that they had
high-pressured New Zealand net
officials into giving them 20
poeund (about $100) apiece for ap
pearing in an exhibition match jn
Auckland several weeks ago.
Answering criticism reprinted
here from the New Zealand sports
man that Budge and Mako ‘de
manded” 20 pound each for the ex
hibition, Mako guid:
“Sure, they gave us 20 apiece.
but we didn’t demand it. lUs
ridiculous to say we demanded it.
We'd have played whether they
gave it to us or not)”
The Aucklap article said Budge
“demanded 20 pound each for him
self and Gene Mako. The cabkle
left no doubt that they would not
fulfil] their advertised appearance
in Auckland unless they were
paid.”
Mako countered that the amounts
were given- for “expense money--
they always show ug a good time
but we have to spend a lot of
money besides.” He saig he and
them at all. It would only have
started an argument, and there’s
no use arguing witp those guys.
Anyhow, by this time Stark was
bobbing and weaving around agam,
demonstrating how he and his fel
low umps contrive never to losc
sight of a prtched ball. Well, pran
tieally never. It was, he explained,
the “Bill Klem Technique”, con
siting of getting up on the balls
of the feet and peeking over the
catcher’s shoulder,
“It's silly, that stuff about our
view being blocked by the catehar
on low balls and about how we
have {0 guess at a lot ‘of 'em,” ’he
said, indignantiy. “We have ou!
eves right on 99 out of every 100
ballg as they cross the plate—il
they do.”
Hardest pitchers in the Nation
al League to cali balls and sirikes
for are Van Mungo, Carl Hubbell
and Rugg Bauers, the young fast
ballep of the Pitisburgh Pirates, in
Stark’s opinion- I’§ ns wonder the
batters find them equally trying.

games in match competition.
Budge were in Auckland one day.
The sportsman said no traveling
expenseg were involved,
Both Budge and Mako remained

penses,

to stir up something,” Mako con
eluded.

Cobern Kelley Pins Carnival
Wrestler In 18 Minutes
BY DAN MAGILL, JR.
In less than eighteen minutes,
Ex-Coastguardsman Cobern Kelley

Carpenter's shoulders to the mat
at the American Legion Center, a
sporting event which almost ended
in a general free-for-all fracas be
tween attacheg of the Carnival now
playing here and fellow-student
admirers of Mr, Kelley.
Carpenter is a one-time nation
ally known boxer. Recently he has
been going exhibition wrestling for
the Carnival.
‘The occasion produced plenty of
excitement—mostly because Cobern
pinned the shoulders of the be
whiskered Carpenter to the mat
several timeg before the referee, a
professional wrestler traveling with
the carnival, finally admitted it
The real fire-works started, how
ever, immediately after the en
counter when the manager of Car

Cobern demanded his purse,

hundred, chiefly University ot
Georgia students, yelled loudly in
disapproval when they saw the
manager of Carpenter refuse to
pay off Kelley.

Sports Pot-Pourri
BY KENNETH GREGORY
ATLANTA —{(#)— Baseball pro
duces many humorous stories and
Maurice Bloch, prominent Selma,
(Ala.) businessman and former
president of the Southeastern lea
gue, knows plenty of them .....
While making a tour with Bloch
in the Selma flood district he re
called several yarns about John
King, an outfielder who Dbdlayed
there several years ago .... John
was quite a character .... “When
ever he struck out,” Bloch said,
]K.elle_v and Carpenter went with
the police and everyhody at the
! fair followed.
There were cries of “lynch him,”
“tear him up,” and “eat him alive,”
by the crowd in reference to the
poor manager of Carpenter. But
the police finally compelled him
to pay off Cobern.
Was Star Pugilist
| The idea of Kelley wrestling
'C:n‘penler, who in his prime was
a wmiddleweight and light-heavy
weight boxer who fought such
greats as Mickey Wialker, Tommy
Loughran and Babhe Risko, origi
nated Monday night at the fair,
The manager of Carpenter, a Mr,
Francis, defied anyone in the
crowd to meet his man—" Whiskers"
-—in a wrestling match to the
finish—no holds barred. Cobern
Kelley immediately accepted the
challenge.
So the manager said that Cobern
would have (o qualify, which could
be done by staying ten minutes
in the ring with “Mr., Whiskers,”
Well, Cobern steppea into the ringl
and did everything for ten min
utes except pin Carpenter's shoul
ders to the mat. This qualified
Cobern, so the manager set the big
match for Tuesday night with the
‘winner to receive ten per cent of
th gate receipts.
But it was much harder for Co
bern, who spends his summers as
an instructor at the Athens “Y”
campP near Tallulah Falls, Ga. to
collect his share of the purse than
to pin the shoulders of the ex
pugilist “Mr, Whiskers"” to the can
vas.
“Ola John, as he called himself,
would walk to the water bucket
and lift 5 dipper to take a drink.
Just as he woulg get the dippet
near his mouth, he would stop and
say: ‘No, Ola John, you can’'t have
a drink. You don’t deserve one!
Whereupon, old Johnh would throw
the dipper at the bucket and kick
it over. He was a great hase run
ner and always protested close de
cisions .... Once an umpire called
him out on a close one at first....
Old John immediately sounded off
ang told the umpire he could prove
he was safe .... ‘How? inquired
the ump .... Old John put his
hands together in front of him,
closed his eyes and sald ‘Dear Liord,
if old John was out, strike me
dead.’ .... After a couple of sece
onds, he dropped his hands and
said: “See, what did I tell you?”
“John was g swell fellow,” said
Bloch, “but he was one of the
greatest clowns on the baseball
field I've ever seen. He played the
outfield and when a high fly came
his way he would always maotion
with his hands, saying ‘Come on;
come on to Old John' Once the
bases were loaded. The batter hit
a high one to Old John and he went
through his usuai pleadings for the
ball to come to Old John, It went
through his hands.... Now, John
got so mad he forgot about the
baserunners. He threw his glove
down, picked up the ball and be
gan cghewing on it .:.. All the
runners scored and they had to
change balls .... Old John had so
mangled the ball it wag thrown
out.,” John King had a farm in
Texas .... They struck oil on it
and he now lives extremely com
fortable .... He still hates left:
handers, and Bloch says he heard
the story that Old John tled his
baby son’s left hand to the ecrib
s 0 he wouldn't become a southpaw,
....They were worried in Selmd
whether the floog wwaters would
recede from their fine baseball park
in time for next Wednesday’s open
ing games .... There was no goli
there, for the course was flooded.
