New Trainer of Cubs Never Saw Ball Game President Murphy Tells of Meeting Between Dr. Frederick Alex Hart and Evers. CHICAGO, May 12.

GRIFFIN SUCCEEDS WEBER AS AMERICUS MANAGER AMERICA'S. <iA , May 12.— Tlu> Americus hall team left yesterday for Way cross in charge of First Basema n Hal Griffin as temporal \ manager. Thoroughly tired of continued defeat sustained by the Americus aggrega tion. the directors nut this morning and relieved Manager Harry Weber of that office, temporarily at least, putting Griffin in charge. Americus has Inst seven of the nine games played already, and while Manager Weber ascribes defeat to bad luck, local fans are leas char itably inclined. It is generally sus pected here that the salary limit rule is not being observed by all of the clubs of the league, and as Americus is living within the salary limits she is placed at disadvantage in employ ment of proficient players. Ill luck of the Americus team re cently has caused interest in base ball to flag perceptibly, although a winn'ng streak would quickly restore, enthusiasm WILLIAMS AND BETCHER WILL JOIN LOOKOUTS- • IIATTAN(MIGA, ?

Both players will re port immediately. HU YORK. May 1Alter 1 ho first week of the invasion of the Hast by the Western clubs of the National League. *>ne thing is very apparent. The Hast, as a whole, is stronger than the West this year, but that does not necessarily indicate tin* pennant winner will he a product of the East. At first, it was thought there would lx* only two Hubs in the East that could nut up any kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated to is* strong. These two were New York and Philadelphia, but now Brooklyn lias come through with the l»est-looking team that has been developed in years across the bridge. Boston i* also playing good enough ball. * * ’* 1 WANT to pause for a minute to discuss Boston and Pittsburg. Behind the Hea neater* this year is a shrewd manager, one who is building. ‘Thief” Stallings is picking up all the likely ball players he can find around loose, and I hen sorting them out as . they come. He is constructing; and out of the twisted mass of baseball junk which he took over at the be ginning of the season, he is going to have a smooth-running machine soon. The Boston Hub. although many good hitters have resided on the team from time to time, has long lieen the victim of its own sluggishness. Stallings is trying to add a little speed to his *•1111). He realizes its value. With this notion in mind, he went out and sign ed Mann to play in the outfield. Stal lings thinks the boy will make a great ball player if given time. "He’s the fastest man in baseball.” the "Chief’ told us when we were in Boston in the early part of the sea son, and he wasn’t punning on the name, either. • • • S tallings has also picked up "Dick’’ Rudolph, the pitcher of the International League, and once a member of the Giants for a brief period. Rudolph will^win a lot of games for Stallings. Then there is a different spirit manifested by the Hub now. which is a reflection of the Stal lings style. When the game gets hard, the hoys do not abandon the pursuit of victory and blow up as former Bos ton teams did. No, sir. It is in there fighting, as proved by the fact the.N took two extra inning games from the Pirates last week, with Wagner in l>oth battles, A Bol T the Pittsburg Hub. I do not know what to say. I have not seen the team play this year so far. but from the gossip in the league and the box scores, it is evident that the Hub is all off its balance. The return of Wagner is going to help the team a whole lot, but Clarke's great est disappointment is the failure of his pitchers to come through. Before the season, the Pittsburg pitching staff was regarded*as one of tlie best in the league, if not the very best, both by the players themselves ami by the newspaper writers who follow the teams. Many times ball players will approve a man whom the gen eral public and the writers cannot sc v For instance. Fletcher, formerly the shortstop of the Giants, was gen erally rated more highly by ball play ers than by the general public and writers. They know his ground-cov ering ability, and he has the finest pair of hands I ever saw on a ball player. H IT, to return t staff. Hendrix, league last O^Toole and the Pittsburg who led tb 1 \ar; Adams. Robinso i. Camnitz sound like a slambang slugging they were to ride through the league to an early pen nant, because even the members of the Hub themselves concede that the team lacks s|»eed. But the pitchers would hold the opposing teams to one or two runs, and the Pittsburg hoys would pile up many with their hats, and there would lx* a nice little ball game for Mr. Glarke nil wrapped up in cotton batting and tin foil to lx* put in the moth balls. However, the pitchers have been permitting many runs, and the hatters have not !>een slugging; and the race is not de stroyed yet. • “The Pirates condition slowly. Wait until the warm weather sets in,” a Pittsburg rooter whispered into my ear the other day. It will do the team little good 1o round into form along in Septemlier. It is my honest opinion that the Huh is going to get on the move one of these days and kick up a lot of dust. It yet will l>o a trouble-maker in the league, because those pitchers are sure to liegin to twirl and the bat ters to hit. Therefore, it pleases the Giants immensely to see the Pirates crowded down as far as possible at this stage, especially as we are not up any too high in the ladder of the Hub standing ourselves.

Fight Referee Usually Correct *i‘*v ^**1* Defends Charley Eyton Kioto. ENVER. May 12.—Voicing their opinions. That’s the privilege of every gathering where box ing h’outs are decided. Yet how of ten have we found the great major ity in error while taking issue with the judge who renders the decision. Many and many a time have I seen the third man in the ring absolutely correct in his judgment, and yet the crowd howled its disapproval. Then also have I seen the referee quite wrong and the crowd give him greac applause for the verdict. I:'s all the way you look at it: it’s the angle from which you view the content. And yet with it all I'll wager that the man in the ring is more often correct than the crowd seated about the arena. The official in the in closure is generally one supposed ro know the game, the tricks, advan tages that score points and every thing else that becomes necessary to make him a fair and impartial judge. For that reason he is better able to reach a correct verdict than the out sider, who comes only on occasions to view the fights, and‘who nine times out of ten is prejudiced. Of course, when an Incompetent man officiates, then our argument is dashed to the ground—we are left without a leg to stand upon. * * * UOW many times have you sat at 1 1 the ringside when one man’s friends seemed in the majority? You've seen this favorite beaten a mile, and yet the referee, for fear of adverse criticism, either calls the bout a "draw” or awards the deci sion to the man whose friends are shouting for him and yet who failed White City Park Now Open to win. I’ve seen this occur time and again, and so have you. Just now Charley Eyton of Los Angeles is being "panned" for call ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw. The press reports tell us that tho verdict was unpopular and that Kil bane won. Perhaps so. But we have always found Eyton quite cor rect In his decisions. For years he has officiated in Los Angeles, and no complaint has been heard. He may have erred this time for all we know. But wait until the smoke of battle clears away and you’ll find that his verdict wasn’t so far amiss. That, at any rate, is my guess. • * * T F the verdict was not in accofd- 1 ance with the facts, then Kilbam* has but himself to blame. His sta ling tactics are quite unbecoming fo a champion and have got hi in in bad in the East until bis last fight, when he redeemed himself with a knock-* out and regain some of his standinr. A champion is supposed to carry tb»* brunt of the battle. If lie allow* his opponent to assume the aggres sive from start to finish, how can he hope to gain the favor of the referee? Isn’t the fellow who rushes the bat tle and makes it possible for the spectators to see real action entitled to something? GAN DIL'S FOOT IS BRUISED.
