A L DEMAREE, former Southern ^eaguer, having just recovered from Umpire Klem’s decision, herewith depicts the humorous effect of that ruling in vari
ous phases. The declaration 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.”

TO HIT WITH THE BASES FULL
AND YOU HAD 51/NOUED AND

By Sam Crane.
N EW YORK, May 3.—There are
some pretty stiff contests
ahead of the Giants just now
and very few cinches, if any, at this
time of the year. Some of the Giants’
opponents will crash sooner or later,
and so might the Giants, hut in the
meantime it is the safest way to con
sider all their opposing teams as
being worthy Of their best efforts.
That the Giants are fully 20 per
cent stronger now than they were last
season at the same time is my firm
belief, but it must be taken into con
sideration by them that several other
clubs in their own league have im
proved in strength and ability in
like proportion. Consequently they
must play up to their own improved
standard to hold their prestige as Na
tional League champions.
The championship season is, of
course, in an embryo state, and the
games being played now are perhaps
try-outs more or less, but there seems
to be nothing shown by the Dodgers
and Phillies to prove that they are
not fully up to the Giants in ability
just now.
Where the Giants have it on most
of their rivals—possibly all—is in
their secondary line. No team is bet
ter or stronger fortified with substi
tutes—or understudies, perhaps, would
be the better word. And that, in the
long run, is bound to tell to the cham
pions’ advantage. It will probably
win them the pennant again. But
that should not make them overcon
fident. Victories gained over the
weaker sisters, so-called, count fully
us much as those over the clubs gen
erally considered as contenders.
Dodgers Among “Big Four.”
And, by the way, what are the clubs
now that can rightfully be included in
the “Big Four?”
Is not Brooklyn entitled to a seat
up In the first division?
1 am going to give the Dodgers that
honor, anyhow. In the games I have
seen them play they have put up a
smooth, classy game, with good pitch
ing and with the recuperative powers
tha^ go witto the punch—and the
punch in baseball signifies the wal
lop. It makes no difference to me
that they have been beaten so often
by a one-run margin. 1 can only talk
of them as I have seen them, and 1
can not conceive that the Phillies or
Bostons have any stronger pitching
staff than the Dodgers.
Anyhow, the Dodgers have gone
along swimmingly so far. and are
sure to give the Western teams fully
as much trouble as they have the
Eastern teams of the league.
The Giants can not afford to play
otherwise than at their very best.
That they will win out eventually I
feel confident, but they must elim
inate that little taint of “ivory” that
has cropped out occasionally with
them this spring. Still, I am 'free to
Acknowledge that the “bone” business
has not been as prominent this year
as last. They have certainly shown
improvement in that regard, but it
wants to be eradicated completely to
make the team look absolutely safe.
Team Must Take Chances.
Chances .must be taken on the bas?s
-and long ones, too. That is some
thing McGraw insists on. If the man
ager did not have the strength of
mind and fortitude to take a baseball
gamble in directing his players what
plays to make, he would not be the
successful general he is, for his team
would make many less runs. But in
following their manager's directions
his players should always be pre
pared, on their mental and physical
tiptoes, to offset the many pitfalls the
opposition tries to spring on them to
counteract McGraw’s scheming.
McGraw is known to give most of
the signs that start his players off on
their at times irresistible rushes
around the base paths. Consequent
ly. every move, every motion he
-makes while squatted on his haunches
in the coachers’ box is watched by ar-
gus-eyed opponents in the field and
from the bench.
Lobert Was Puzzled.
It was funny to see Hans Lober*.
of the Phillies, watch McGraw out of
the corners of his eyes to detect some
signal made to a base runner. Hans
would imagine he had “got wise, ’
would “wireless’’ to his catcher, and
a pitch-out would be the result; but
I failed to see that Hans ever got the
right dope, even once.
McGraw was “on” to Lobert, too,
and he would make many extra mo
tions to throw the would-be detec
tive off.
And that will he the sleuth system
that will be worked by the Giants' \
opponents all the season. On Mc
Graw will be focused all the snare
“lamps” that can be concentrated on
him.
Well, if they get wise they will be
altogether smarter than 1 think they
are.
Rube Marquard is ill at his home
on Riverside Drive with an attack >f
tonsilitis. It is said to be quite a seri
ous case. Rube was to have pitched
in Brooklyn on Saturday but for ms
illness.

SAVANNAH WILL HAVE
BIG BREEDING FARM
SAVANNAH. GA., May 2.—That
Savannah is to have a stock farm
where race horses wifi be bred, is
the announcement of A. P. Doyle and
Charles J. Odell, who are interested
in the “sport of kings.” Th< Doyle
.Park -.-t Thunderbolt, where the late
Captain M. J. Doyle always kept a
string of trotters, and where he bred
numbers- of classy horses, will house

Odell has commissioned Tom Buck-

chase several thoroughbred mares for
him.
In this connection it is interesting
ha note that a race track is about
to be built in South Carolina within
easy reach of the Savannah-Beau

been put up. The idea will be to
have the horses shipped through Sav

BOSTON, May 3.—William Locke,
who Jeft the post ot secretary for the
Pirates to assume. Horace Fogel’s
chair in Philadelphia, admits that his
team has been overburdened with
good luck this far.
“We have had a lot of luck," Locke
confessed. "But we're playing good
baseball, too, and we’re geting the best
and most uniformly good pitching in
either league.
"The Phillies won four games from
Brooklyn by one run, which were the
greatest games ever F*taged so early
In the season. Allen, Rucker and
Stack all pitched eood ball, but we
managed to nose them out. Three of
the battle we copped, 1 to 4 ,and the
other 2 to 1. Luck followed us in
a couple of the games, but we had
it coming.
"Seaton, Alexander and Rixley
should win many games for us this
season. All are good realiable twirl-
ers and have been under fire before.
Also don't forget we have Chalmers
and Brennan. Yet, 1 look for th
Phillies to either win the pennant or
finish very near the top, which means
one, two or three."
The Phillies' pitchers say the hole
tested against the Giants. The Quak
ers Intend to show that on April 23
and 24, when they were beaten ai
the Polo Grounds, there was a hole
three inches deep back of the pitch
ers’ slab and they declare that thi~
is clearly agaimt the rules and
ficient justification for the
ment of the two games.
The Phillies’ pitchers say that tin.
bothered them exceedingly because
they were in constant fear of step
ping into it and injuring themselves.
Consequently they were unable to de
vote their attentions and their ener*
gies exclusively to flinging the bor e
hide. They do not care whether the
same hole bothered the New \ ork
pitchers or not. That was the Giants’
own business, they say. If the exca
vation troubled them, they could eas
ily have had it filled.
Not being possessed of phycholbgi-
cal penetration, or the,gift of reading
minds, we will not attempt to say
w’hat have happened if the Phillies
had won the two games mentioned.
Did we possess the guileless illusions
of youth we could imagine Mr. Locke
and his colleagues presenting them
selves before President Lynch of the
National League and saying:
Dear Mr. Lynch, we want to
rail your attention to something
about the two games we won in
New York. The field was not laid
out according to rules, which may
. have accounted for much of the
adversities of the Giants. We
scorn to take advantage of our
competitors. We are sportsmen.
Moreover, we believe what we
were taught in early youth—tha,i
honesty is the best policy. There
fore, we decline to accept those
victories and we leave your august
presence, firmly voncinved that by
reason of this honorable course,
fate will ordain that we win the
pennant. We ore convinced, too.
that if we did not take this
course, fate would frown upon us
and we would suffer in conse
quence.
Or. in the event of Philadaiphia
having won. we might imagine John
ny McGraw saying: “What? Take
advantage of that technicality? Not
on your life! If we can’t win a
pennant without doing that, we re
fuse to win.”
It would be just like McGraw.

Reverse Clause MayCauseTrouble

By W. J. Me Beth.
EW YORK, May 3.—Organized
baseball’s trail is stalked by a
real “bugaboo.” It may sim
ply be the late spring, the downward
revision or the direct result of an age
of rabid reform. But we have the
word of Representative Gallagher, of
Illinois, that a stringent investigatiaq
will be forthcoming—with an ulti
mate view toward dissolution—of
that most “audacious monopoly”—
the National pastime as embodied in
the hands of the National Commis
sion.
that so long as they are deserving
their services will be properly re
warded. Few have been the cases
where magnates have taken advan
tage of their power to dismiss play
ers incapacitated through illness or
injury.
Without a doubt organized baseball
would survive Federal Investigation.
The reserve clause is the only vulner
able point of attack. To date it has
been a necessary evil. In a pinch the
organization might pursue its trampl
ed course along present lines of pro
cedure regardless of dictates from the
United States Government. It would
not be hard for the club owners to

the same token a protection to De

two interested parties.
But for the reserve clause base bail
would not survive its present high
type for one season. The clubs with
the money would corral all the stars.
There would be no competition. None
would become disgusted sooner than

Within the past fifteen years ball
players’ salaries have more than
trebled. In what other profession is
this true?
Representative Gallagher, of Illi
nois, seems bent upon making a point
of the reserve clause In professional
baseball contracts. Every one famil
iar with baseball knows that this re
serve clause is an injustice so far as
government of the great game has
evoluted to date. A baseball contract
would never stand the test of a civ 1
court let alone a Federal probe. It
is not equitable to begin with. Tne
club reserves the right to bind the
player indefinitely. His alternative is
disbarment or the “black list.” But
the club reserves the right to cast off
this same player on ten days* notice.
It can hold him forever; but he can
not better himself if the opportunity
arises.
Players Get Fair Treatment.
On the face of it such a contract
appears preposterous. It would b ?,
too. if the administration of organ
ized baseball were not every bit is
square and above board as the play
ing end of the game. Not one in
stance in the history of the National
Commission—the Supreme Court of
organized baseball—ma v be cited
where the player did not receive fair
and unbiased treatment. OrganWcl

such an honest board but the fact

is true.

AST Tuesday afternoon Peacock
sprung the surprise of the local
Prep League baseball season by
defeating Tech High. 9 rtv 8. Previ
ous to that game Peacock had won
hut one game and had proved easy
against .all coiners in the Prep
League. Various excuses have been
offered by Tech High players but the
real reasons for their defeat were
overconfidence and lack of practice.
It is hoped that the result will be
a lesson to them and that in the lu-
ture the team will be ready at all
times to go in to do its best.
Un the other hand great credit i3
due the Peacock boys for winning
the game. They went into the con
test with th« feeling that they did
not have mirth of a chance to win,
but at the same time they were de
termined to make a fight for it and
by sheer nerve and slugging ability
were able to come out ahead.
Callahan Liack in Form.
Callahan, of Marist, appears to be
back in his early season form again.
For a while “'Tally” was not pitching
his usual game, especially in the
Tech High affair when he was touch
ed up for a number of hits. That
he is going well again there can be
no doubt, as he pitched a no-hit con-
j test against G. M. A. at College Park
Tuesday. MarUt and Boys High will
meet on the Marist diamond next
Saturday in their second game of the
season and the Prep championship
may be decided then and there. The
previous meeting of the two nines
resulted in a ten-inning tie and there
is little to choo e between them at
this stag< of 1 ho season.
The local Prep schools are looking
forward anxiously to the annual track
and field meet next Friday. It has!
not yet been definitely decided where
this meet will ho held, but Marist
wants it held on their ivy Street
campus and no doubt that will be
the scene of activities.
50 Athletes to Compete.
There will be at least fifty well
trained athletes entered in this meet
and there will be plenty of competi
tion for first place in each event.
Some new local Prep records will no
doubt be made and some new ‘finds’
discovered. Th" following are some
pretty sure point winners in this
meet. Allen, of Marist. Bedell, ot
Tech High, Parks, of Tech High and
Johnson, of Boys High in the 100-
yard dash; Allen, Loekridge and Be
dell in the hurdles; Holtzendorff. of
Boys High, in the pole vault 1 .
Fowler, Bedell and Meyers i.n the
weight events. Cheeves, Downing
and Covington look good for points
in tlie distance runs.
Everything points to the most suc
cessful meet ever held. Numerous
prizes have been offered and a cup
will be given to the school winning
the greatest total number of points
The odds favor Marist, but it is not
at all certain that Marist will cop. At
any rate the event will be worth
witnessing.

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 (lay 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. The first set of Easi-
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. Loui • 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
th-- first batch of intersectional
games, it looks as if the underdog
is certain to win at least one gam*
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 tne
likelihood that the mighty are not
going to make any clean sweep.
The Red.-* 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
lyn. Huh Perdue should keep the
Pirate from walking
teammates and Slim Sail
Cardinals, ought to make the Phillies
hustle.
This last mentioned series* is likelx
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 grand
fettle. The Cardinals, besides Sallee
have Steele, Harmon and Griner doing
top-notch work, while the Phillies 1
have a great staff of shut-out and
one-run twfrlers, 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 th.
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 the Detroit?. Un
less Ed Walsh and Walter Johnson
should pitch against each other in
the White Sox-Senators series, each
is euro of a victory. If they meet,
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 foenr-n
of the Red Sox.
