Eighteen Events For Senior Athletic Meet Leading A. A. U. Performers to Com pete in Metropolitan Champion ships Next Month. N EW YORK, Aug. 23.—“I think I have been vindicated,” said Um pire Harry O’Day, when dis cussing hie experience as manager of the Cincinnati Reds last year. "The Reds under my management finished in fourth place. If I had been able to get a tirst-class shortstop together with a good pitcher, the team would have been in second place, cIobc be hind the Giants. I don’t care to criticize Joe Tinker’s methods or the policy of the Cincinnati club owners, but I can’t help pointing to the pres ent status of the Reds and the con sequent howl from the Cincinnati fans. Resigned Management. •'When 1 saw that Mr. Herrmann had mado up his mind to hand over the management of the Reds to Tin ker I sent in my resignation. But I knew than what would happen. To day, while I am back on the National League umpire staff, I still feel that I can manage a ball team as well as anybody. Perhaps some of the new generation of fans do not know that I pitched for the Giants and Washing ton in the old days, and that when 1 was w ith the Senators my catcher was Connie Mack. I knew' as much about Inside ball then as Mack and I’ve learned just as much about the game as he has since that time. “Why shouldn't I be able to guide a team In the fine points? Is there anybody in a better position to learn the weak points of batsmen and the methods employed by the various teams than an umpire who has worked twenty years behind the bat? When I took hold of the Cincinnati Reds I was able to post my players regarding many things, and if I do say so they show up-to-date methods. Yet when we wen leat^ng the race during the first month or so I told Mr. Herr mann that unless we could obtain a shortstop and a couple of pitchers we would cftop back to fourth or fifth place. Injuries Hurt Team. “Do you know' what greased the to boggan first?

"Jimmy Esmond, who played short stop in line stylo for Griffith in 1911, couldn't deliver for me, because of chronic stomach trouble. That was a hardship entirely unexpected, but 't was not my fa«lt. In fact, I had to take what Griffith left, the only new man who went South with me in the spring being a young pitcher named Williams. It is a fact that under mv manage ment the Cincinnati club made more money last year than ever before, and It was big money, too. I never had the slightest friction with the players, despite reports to the contrary, and if you don't helleve me ask Mike Mitch ell, Art Phelan. Larry McLean, Ar thur Fromme or any other member of the Reds who played for me. "I established discipline from th" outset. When McLean reported he weighed 236 pounds I made him wear a rubber shirt and during the spring training trip lie took oil nearly 10 pounds, being In great condition when the championship race began. I made McLean understand that I was the boss. Kept Good Discipline. “Some persons rapped me while I was manager because I paid no atten tion to wild stories I was told that So-and-So was drinking heavily, when as a matter of fact the player mentioned was drinking a couple of glasses of beer after each game with my permission. Because the team slumped I was the goat, yet it was beyond my power to help It. “The trouble in Cincinnati always has bean too many advisers. Mr. Herrmann Is a fine man, but he listens to outsiders and persons who are self- appointed managers. If the Cincin nati players win, they are called he roes and idols. If they lose, names harsh enough can not be Invented. I only wish that I had been permitted to keep the management for this year, for I know that I would have accom plished more than last year.

Allison him : hotting average of .340 fur tl e sc‘—ai He is to report next year. By Ted Sullivan. (Managing Director of World’s Tour of Chicago White Sox and New York Giants.) C hicago, ill., Aug. 23.—the ob ject and aim of the world’s tour of America’s two famous baseball teams, from its two largest cities, are twofold. The first is to give an exhibition of America’s na tional game in foreign lands, jy the exponents of its two great maj< r leagues—namely, the American and National. The other object is to try and transplant America’s national game in countries that are Lie lined to take up the sport for the physical development and pleasure of -he youth of their country. The first trip made by American teams to foreign landM was taken in 1874 by the Boston team, of Boston, and the Athletic club, of Philadelphia —members of the National League—. under the guidance of A G. Spaulding, of the Boston club. Those two teams went only to Great Britain. This combination of American ball plsyers made a great impression on the Eng lish people, not only by their fine physical appearance and baseball skill but ahx) by their gentlemanly bear ing while abroad. The second trip of American baU teams abroad was taken in the fall of 1888, but this was a "round the world’ trip. The teams were the Chicago club of the National League and a picked team, composed of Na tional League and American Associa tion players. The tourists sailed from San Francisco in November. 1888, and returned by way of Great Britain in the spring of 1889. All America was Intereyted in this tour of their great plavers, and the officers of both the National League and American Asso ciation rose to the spirit of the oc casion and regulated the commence ment of their season's schedules to the arrival of the players from foreign lands. First Stoo in Japan. The present trip around the world will exceed ir importance all other former trip* of American hall players, for the reason that It is the object of Mr. Comiskey and Mr. McGraw to play in all the capitals and important cities of Japan. China. Australia and Europe. Manila will also be added to I the itinerary of the teams The pres ent trip ar"”n 1 the werld has been j the dream of Charles A. Comiskey’s life for the last ten years. His gTeat riee in the baseball world during that period, which was caused by * his sportsmanlike methods and fair deal ing with the people of his native city, has enhanced and stimulated his de sire to crown his baseball career by making this tour of the world ir respective of any financial loss. The other leader, John McGraw, of the New York club, seconded Mr. Comis key’s desire to tour the world by mak ing it a Joint affair—by presenting to the world the teams of America’s two largest cities. Mr. McGraw is a kindred spirit of Mr. Comiskey’s in the display of gen erous sportsmanship, and the tour of the world has long been his desire, from the time that the writer went to England in the fall of 1896 to bring his team, the champion Baltimore club, to play in that country In No vember of that year; but as the climate at that season in Great Britain was against the display of the gume, the tour was abandoned. Games To Be Hard Fought. This circle of the globe by the Chi cago-New York ball teams will be conducted on a scale and grandeur never attempted before by any clubs. The players who make the trip will be men that will be considered as much for their known dignified bear ing as for their baseball skill. The baseball commission, the supreme court of baseball, will select the um pire to officiate in all games played en route to the Pacific coast, besides accompanying the two teams abroad and officiating in all games there. This act on the part of the commis sion will give class and dignity to all of the games played-—besides re lieving the contests of the flavor of exhibition garner. Be that as it may, let no one doubt that the games be tween New York and Chicago will be battled out with but one desire, and that is to defeat each other. There will be a world’s series played In the United States every year as long as organized ball exists, but there will be a world's series in 1913 and 1914 that will be different from all others in its aspect. Those contests will take in the world and will be played between two rival clubs, members of two rival leagues, and of two rival cities—the most populous of America. Tim first game of this novel world series will fake place in Chicago— the starting point on the circle of the globe. Both teams will be addressed by Governor Dunne, of Illinois, and Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, who will paper men and citizens of both New York and Chicago, who are to accom pany the players on their voyage around the world. This special train will be decorated with the flags of all the foreign coun tries they are to visit. A band of music will accompany the special train ae» far as the Pacific coast—to enliven the trip across the continent and give zest and flavor to the games. As at present contemplated, they will leave Chicago on October 17 and, after playing in all of the cities across the continent will then take up the cities on the Pacific coast, playing at Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sac ramento, Portland. Oreg.; Tacoma and Seattle, in Washington State, and at Vancouver, B. C. After playing in Vancouver, where they will be re ceived by the city authorities, the tourists will then board the palatial steamer, Empress of Russia, on No vember 19, for Japan, their first stop ping place abroad. They will then continue their trip to China, playing In its principal cities—then on to the Philippine Islands, playing In Manila, where they will be royally received by the American soldiers and attaches of the United States Government lo cated there. Sphinx to Watch Sport. From Manila they will go to the great sporting center of the world. Australia. After playing in the largest cities of that country they will play in India; from there to Egypt, and after playing in Cairo they will jour ney out from that city some miles —and play before the Sphinx, where fifty centuries will look down on the display of America’s national game. Italv will be the next visited, ami Rome, Genoa and Florence will see America’s game in action by Its great est exponents. The enthusiastic French, who aided in the formation of the American republic, will pee Un- national game of that republic for the first time—a game that is the crea tion of itn temperament and genius Games will be played In Marseilles and Paris. Vienna will be one of the other cities visited by the tourists and a game played there. From Vienna the Qerrmin Umpire will see America’s national game for the first time— a country that gave America’s game some of Its greatest exponents. Games will be played in Berlin and at the University of Heidelberg. The tourists will then invade Great Britain the home of all sports and all kinds of sports. Games will be , plaved in London, Liverpool and Glasgow, Scotland. Those nations have given America many of its skill ful players and votaries. The entire parly will then cross the channel to the ’Emerald I«»le—the country that has given the national game of Amer ica 90 per cent of its leaders, who are either managers, captains or pres idents of America's great game. Games will bo played In Belfast and in Dublin. The last stop will bo in Dublin be fore taking the steamer at Queens town for hom'e. Here the American players will be given a grand and royal reception by the Irish people. WILLE IS AFTER CARL MORRIS.

BYOIOUN Browns’ Pitcher Declares That the Umpire Can’t Forget Texas League Incident. S T TXJUia, Auk 23.—Pitcher Roy Mitchell, of the Browns, haa drawn an Indefinite suspension for his run-in with Umpire "Silk” O’Loughlln. while President Ban Johnson, of the American League, ap parently haa ignor«4i the protest of Manager Stovall of O’Loughlln's con duct during the game. Mitchell alleges that his suspension is the culmination of a grudge borne him by O’Loughlln since the first time he pitched in the American league in 1910.
