A L DEMAREE, former Southern Leaguer, having just recovered from Umpire Klem’s decision, herewith depicts the humorous effect of that ruling in vari
ous phases. The declaration of the umpire that McCormick’s hit, which scored the winning run for the Giants, was null and void, proved a thunderbolt
to the Giant players as well as to the fans. Klem based his decision on the rule that a player must be announced before he can go to the plate. In other words,
Klem did not see the play. Demaree is the first to conceive the idea of the “Klem alibi.’’ *

C HICAGO, ILL., May * 3.—Buck
Weaver, demon shortstop of the
White Sox, must change his
pants of course. Morris Rath .al
ready has done so.
Other athletes in the American
League who have been in the habit
of concentrating some eighteen or
twenty square yards of real estate on
their trousers’ legs must do the same.
President Johnson of the American
League is out with a demand for
cleanliness and neatne-s. He can’t
figure why an athlete should try to
take on the appearance of his sur
roundings. The President of the
league is quite a hunter. He un
derstands why nature gave to some
wild animals the color of its sur
roundings. So that it would be'bet
ter able to conceal Itself from it3
enemies. But the league executive
doesn’t figure a ball player in the role
of the hunter and he thinks there
should be some contrast between a
baseball uniform and the ground.
The President is on a still hunt in
this instance. He hasn’t reached the
demanding stage, but that will fol
low, if his peaceful representations
are not followed. Here is the way
he is going about U.
Orders Uniforms Washed.
Silk O’Loughlin. umpire, strolls to
the field and sees Morris Rath. Mor
ris’ uniform was once as white as
the driven snow. Once is correct.
But that was a long time ago.
“Morris, I would have that uniform
scraped and then washed,” says Silk.
“What for?” queries Rath.
“So that you could remain in the
game. It would pain rhe like every
thing, Morris, to come out here some
afternoon and be compelled to inform
you that you couldn’t got in the game
until you had changed your pants.”
Of course Silk laughed as he de
livered this oration. But it wasn’t
exactly a friendly laugh. One of
those mirthless laughs in which you
are tipped to be on your guard as
there’s something likely to happen to
you.
Players Should Look Neat.
“Why shouldn't the players be
neat?” queried President Johnson.
Then he proceeded tcT answer his own
question. “President Comiskey’s team
has two home uniforms. Two were
purchased so that it would always be
possible to have a clean one.
“I understand perfectly well that
athletes can’t be spi_*k and span and
I don’t expect them to. But there
is no occasion for a man allowing
his uniform to lose all semblance of
its original color. Men must slide
and that means that his uniform
must get soiled. But the fellows I
am after, the fellows who have the
worst appearing uniforms, do not ac
cumulate the dirt that way.
“They chew tobacco and spit upon
their gloves and then they wipe their
gloves on their trousers. They become
unsightly and many of the fans do
not like^ that, especially the female
enthusiasts. With two uniforms
there is no reason why a fellow
shouldn’t be neat and tidy, with no
more dirt on him than he picks up
in the natural course of the game.”
ENGLISHMEN NOT ASKED

'OXFORD. ENGLAND, May 3. -The
athletic authorities of the universities
of Oxford and Cambridge have not
yet received any formal invitation
from Harvard and Yale to participate
in a track meet at Harvard stadium
in June or July this year.
The secretary of the Oxford Ath
letic Union, however, expressed the

F OLLOWING numerous rumors
and reports. Wilson Collins,
erstwhile Vanderbilt football
and baseball star, has at last signed
a contract to play professional base
ball. having cast his lot with the low
ly bunch that is expected to divide
patronage with the Red Hose Cham
pions of the American League, hail
ing from Boston. By affixing his
John Hancock to a Boston contract,
Collegian Collins has made it possible
for Lynnville, Tenn., his native heath,
to occupy a definite location on the
map of the grand old U. S. A.
Heretofore Lynnville. a peaceful
hamlet of Middle Tennessee, has had
to worry along with a kind of loca
tion by proxy, so to speak, viewing
with envious eyes its more fortunate
neighbor,, that South Central Tennes

his making good if he sticks to the
game, as he evidently Intends to. Bos
ton will no doubt turn him over to
some minor league team, but he
should go back in a year or so.
Yes. it appears that Lynnville,
through Collins, has arrived. In the
future, citizens of that vicinity, at
least, will no doubt display the rash
ness of mentioning their native heath
in the same breath with Royston, Ga.,
Wahoo, Nebr., and Trappe, Md., pro

Marion Trims Auburn
In Game of Thrills
Institute Boys Given Hard Battle,
but Finally Win, 3-2—Many
Features in Battle.
MARION. ALA., May 3—By superior
hitting and base-running the Marion
Institute defeated the strong .‘am from
Auburn this afternoon by the score of
3 to 2.
The game was replete with brilliant
playing. Each team starred in a double
play. The game was one round of
thrills until the last Auburn man was
out In the ninth by a spectacular catch
of Hairston.
The features of the game were the
hitting of Howze, the catching of Hair
ston and the brilliant fielding of Walker,
in center for Marlon.
Auburn has been defeated only by the
University of Georgia and the Alabama
Polytechnic. The nine is conceded to
be the best team that has ever played
at Marion. The visitors have won un
stinted praise by their sportsmanlike
spirit and fine bearing, as well as for
their playing. Coach Carter, of Marion,
who captained the University of Vir
ginia team last year, says that the Au

N EW YORK, May 3—The first lap
of the baseball season is nearing
its end. At the conclusion of
the present series in the two big
leagues, round number two will be
ushered in with first batch of inter
sectional clashes. The National
League will launch the second stage
of its season on Tuesday with the
Western clubs in the East, and the
following day the Eastern clubs of
the American League will play in the
West. The old argument of “our
part of the country is better than
yours” will proceed until settlement.
Judging from what has been seen
already, the East possesses a trifle
edge over the Occidentals, taken from
all-around angles, but there Is* every
Indication of a number of surprises
being sprung. Thd first set of East-
West combats does not put any pair
of the prime quality pennant favor
ites together. The National League
presents Cincinnati at New York,
Chicago at Brooklyn, Pittsburg at Bos
ton and St. LouIp at Philadelphia, and
the American League offers New York
at Detroit, Boston at Cleveland, Phil
adelphia at St. Louis and Washing
ton at Chicago.
In the case of almost every one of
the first batch of intersectiOnal
games it looks as if the underdog
Is certain to win at least one game
of each series, due to the possession
of a particular star pitcher who can
be banked upon to keep the opposi
tion scoring low, and therein lies the
likelihood that the mighty are not
going to make any clean sweep.
The Reds have George Suggs in
great trim to stymie the Giants. Nap
Rucker is a two to one bet to stave
off the rush of the Cubs in Brook
Where a league has been developed
that ranks about on a par with our
class C or D organizations. The
champion team of the circuit, which
won the pennanj with a percentage
of .540 for 62 games in the winter
sea.*-*on, is to pay us a visit the com
ing summer, when we will get an
opportunity to see just what has been
accomplished by the soldier boys who
introduced the sport to the islanders.
The Filipinos will make a tour of
the country, upon their arrival about
June 25, and will play college, semi-
professional and minor league teams
in all section*’. The Filipinos are
reported to have made wonderful
strides in the progress of the game
since the American occupation, and
are said to bo remarkable base run
ners and fielders.

ATHER countries that have taken
to the game with avidity are:
France, Sweden, Japan, China. Cuba
and Australia. The French Lycees,
which wield a. powerful Influence in
their country, have undertaken the
fostering of the sport in the land of
the Illy With a number of Ameri
can students and visitors in the fore,
the game has been brought along to
such a point that tfff? ebullient Al
phonses and Gastons are much
wrought up over it. The French
man rapidly i,s becoming conversant
with the ins and outs of the game and
enjoys the exciting situations that
arise in it.
HERE’S PRINCETON CREW.
NEW ORK. May 3.—The Prince
ton rowing management has an
nounced the names of the men who
will be taken to Boston on May 6
for the race against Harvard ana
Pennsylvania. They are as follows:
1812—Bashlnsky. Chester, Congleton,

NEW ORLEANS, May 3.—Over

wind-up game of the local season
from the Louisiana Tigers, 4 to 3.

teammates and Slim Sallee, of the
Cardinals, ought to make the Phillies
hustle. , .
This last mentioned series is likely
to produce the smallest grand total
of runs of the week, for neither team
has been batting very hard and both
have their flinging corps in granci
fettle. The Cardinals, besides Sallee
have Steele, Harmon and Griner doing
top-notch work, while the Phillies?
have a great staff of shut-out and
one-run twirlers, ready, including
Seaton, Alexander, Chalmers, and the
youngster Mayer.
Earl Hamilton, of the Browns, one
of the best young southpaws of re
cent years, will beat the Athletics if
he gets real assistance from his co
workers in batting and fielding. The
great young Keating will give the
Tigers, even with Cobb, a ragged run
of it to down the Yankees, while Du-
buc seems certain to win one game
of the series for tlie Detroit*. Un
less Ed Walsh and Walter Johnson
should pitch against each other in
the While Sox-Senators series, each
is sure of a victory. If they nneet,
it should produce the best pitchers’
battle of the season to date Vean
Gregg, now called Cleveland’s iron
man. is more than a worthy foeman
of the Red Sox.

I T’S great to hear how well the
national pastime of Uncle Sam is
taking hold abroad. Half a dozen
countries now are going into the game
on a fair scale, and it seems likely
that maybe a few years hence it will
be regarded a« on a par with the
chief sports in those lands. The lat
est place to take up the game ex
tensively is the Philippines Islands,
Swart, Dr. Spaeth and John Fitzpat
rick will also make the*trip.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR A FAN.
NEW YORK. May 3.—“If the Ameri
can League baseball pennant goes to
the National Capital, nobody will be
happier than Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-
Rice, the new British Ambassador. Sir
Cecil to-day announced himself a fan.
He qualified many years ago, he said,
for this is the fifteenth.-time he has
been in the United States. He is also
an enthusiast over college rowing.
