ITTSBURG, PA, Dec 38—
Coach (Glen Warner vows
that he will never again al-
Jow his Pittsburg team to play with
fncompetent officials and asserts that
he was “jobbed” at Cleveland Satur
day. He sald: "There were many
things that indicated to me that
. matters were not straight at Cleve~
¢ Jand, hut a few only need to be men
i tioned:
“Flrut-—-Why did Manager Gardner,
of thae Snilors, telegraph Merriman,
head linesman, to his home in Beaver
Falls, not to céome? We was the only
official that 1 had confidence in, and
¥ am glad he paid no attention to the
telegram
“Second—Why did Referee Ray de
elare the second period at an end
just when my team was on the Sail
ors' one-vard line and five minutes
yet to play? And why did he make
them play 26 minutes in the last
seperiod to aliow the Sailore to score?
Jim Marks, of Kigki, kept the time
as the local timekeeper claimed his
wateh was broken, The whole thlns
Yooks fishy enough to be crooked, an
1 hope it will he straightened out.”
Director of Athletics Milles said:,
*Mhaere I 8 no guestion but what we
awere robbed of the game in the In
terest of outsiders. One of the most
Gisgusting exhibitions of unfalrness
Yavas the actious of Ray Chapman,
shortstop of the Cleveland Amcericans
fwho in, every way possible harassed
the head linesman and attempted to
gtop him from calling Cleveland men
\offside. ysing the foulest language
ever heurd on a ball fleld.”
The aihletic eouncil of Pittsburg
fesued a challenze to the Cleveland
Naval Reserve team to play a game
here next Saturday under the same
financial arrangements as Saturday's
game with the proviso that the offi

the justly celebrated William Howard

mess, ad should be immediately straight
ened out, or at the earliest possible mo~
ment, anyvhow, The prolongation of the
present argument is souring the fans
more and more on our great national
game.
The consensus of opinion among base
ball writers who know whereof they
gpeak, is that Mr. Taft is the man for
the berth as one-man National Commis.
glon, to look after the matters hereto
fore coming before Garry Herrmann,
Johnsgon and Tener, who composed [hu
high court of baseball. No Introduction
js required for Mr. Taft. It Is not ad
verse to add, however, that he 1s a real
baseball fan and has always taken a
great amount of Inll-r:-stdn the sport,
There are some who thi he is not
suited for the job, owing t his never
having any connection with tne game,
but it is a false impressison. Mr. Taft
has never bgen enrolled in the zame,
but he is w’ll-up on the tricks of the
trade, and a splendid arbiter for all
matters.
Then the seat at the head of the Na
tional League {8 empty, 8o far as a real
ruler is concerned. John Heydller, for
years one of the Jeading mea of the
league, and a business man from top o

K. Tener stepped out. Mr. Heyvdler
seems to be the cholee of the hlg league

candidates for the position. Mr, Heydler
has the inside track, it seems, and prob
ably will be elected to the presidency,
which would be a good move, apparent

S 0 much has been written about the
reconstruction plans of the magnates
and what must be done with the inter
nal part of the pastime. The moguls,
first of all, should agree to eliminate
all matters pertaining to the financial
side from the public prints. The only
way to add to this 18 to quit talking
publicly on baseball deals, and give no
hint of a trade or sale until it has been
completed. Then keep the price on
the dark side, :
Baseball fans will, never again, stand
for the magnates running over them.
The fans like to see gm;(f, hot battles,

amusement s I’or the (3!11» managers

do not, they shnu‘d be relegated to the
minors or penalized In soame manner
One of the wisest things in the world
to do would be for the president of the
league to instruct the umpires to allow
the players more leeway In the matter
of pow and let them rave a bit more.
The fans delight in aN"u,v{) an arausing
coacher out on the side lincs, and in
gecing the players fight for everything.
The game should bhe kent vlean, of
course, above all things, but still the
games in the past have been a bit list
less and unless there ‘s u player or
two yelling and cutting up during a
game, 1t proves very uninteresting and

e e £URS and its devious,
3 R not to say lowly,
L % « ways
This outburst possibly is justified
and, anyway, it is characteristic of
the old Battler, and I am glad to see
a flash of his former gpirit, The Bat
tler was combative out of the ring as
well as in it. He did not like for
anybody to put anything over on him.
1 believe I wrote a story for this col
umgn a year or so ago about a dis
agreement between Bat and a street
car conductor in Los Angeles. Dat
was training for one of his coast
fights and was drawn down to a dry |
pallor which made him loek mare
like a man just out of the hospital
than the lightweight champion in
hard condition. He isn’t a big chap,
of course, and the conductor picked
him for an easy mark and spoke
harshly and unkindly to him. \
- W o
These few asterisks represent a‘
lapse of two minutes and thirty sec
onds, during which comparatively
brief interval Bat beat up the con
ductor and the motorman came back
to help the eonductor, and Bat beat
him up. and a thoughtful bystander
summoned the calamity wagon.. An-|
other crew took the car.en its way |
1 remember, too, when Bat fancied |
himself as an aithor—'way back in
1909, I guess it was—and Jack Lon
don referred to him as ap abysmal
brute, Jack didn't mean anything
disrespectful. He wns v’omnlimvntinq(
Bat's wonderful stamina and fighting |
qualities. But Bat couldn't see it‘
that ways He was writing a book at
the time—l remember the first time T
met him he had out a little vest
pocket dictionary and was struggling
with the difference between chirogra
phy and chiropody—l say, he was
writing a book when London made
his abysmal brute erack, and Bat,
who had just discovered that there
was a difference in the meaning of
famous and notorious, revenged him
gelf by referring in his own book to
“the notorious Jack London.”
Glood old Battler! He's combative
fn his milder conversations, too, or
used to be. Many a time I have
glanged with him over the telephone
and promised to beat him up if he
would present himself in person and
heard what awful things would hap
pen to me if he got at me, which
probably were not underestimated at
that., Bat and I were good friends!
at one time:.l was the senior mém
ber of the firm, being exactly 6ne day
older, And I'm glad he continues to
flare up when somebody picks on
him, or when he'gets the idea some
body is picking on him. There was-—
and is—a world of flghting spirit
packed away in that battered little
body of his. J

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Riders in the
Twenty-sixth annual six-day bicycle
race at Madison Square Garden were ten
miles behind the record for 34 hours at
10 o’clock this morning. The leading
teams had covered a distance of 635

The heavy-eved bicycle bugs at the
garden were shaken from their catnaps
this morning when the riders figured in
a spill. Lawrence, the San Francisco
rider, dozed and fell from his bicycle,
bringing down Grenda and Drobach and
giving the entire fleld a rest until the
track was cleared. None of the riders
suffered serlov injuries.

| will start pracuce the latter part of
this week. The Tech High boys are
sore over the defeat nanded their eleven
by Boys’ High school last Saturday, and
they answered the call of the basket
ball coach in large numbers.
. 7Tech High has some good material
and a great team should be developed.
Joe Bennectt is the captain of the bas
ketball team and the Smithies are con
fident that the second team he handles
for them shall have greater success than
the football team.
Fulton High has been practicing for
several weeks and as most last year's
squad are present this year the boys
are scheduled to raise some dust. They
have never been off the bottom before,
but thgy say that the future has a bet
ter outlook than the past.
G. M. A.,, champions of last season,
will be represented by a strong team
and one that they are confident will re
peat last year's success. The College
Park boys always possess wonderful fight
and with a may like Mr. David at the
helm they are®due to set the world
afire. e
Boys’ High has some fine thaterial and
a few of last year's players. Just who
will_ccach the boys is doubtful, but they
are after a good one, and claim that
after the defeat they administered to
their rivals last Saturday, thereby break
ing the Jlnx, they are going to mop up
the league. McGarity, Staton and Da
vig, of last year’s team, are no longer
with the Boy®s' High players and a new
squad will have to be organized.
Marist, under the hands of the wiz
ard, Joe Bean, alwavs makes it hot sos
the other teams, and he nearly won the
championstiip last year. Just who Joe
has to build this year’s sguad around
is not known, but he is confident of
doing big things.
Peacock will make another attempt
to play in the league this vear. Last
year they started, but failed to keep
the pace set by the other teams and
drapped out.

Every Day's Delay in Having
Necessary Treatment of Your
1
Teeth Means Danger.
Scientists realize more and /more
every day the importance of oral hy
giene—the health of the mouth and
specifically the teeth and gums. It is
realized that hidden decays And ab
scesses around the roots of the teeth
have much to do with one’s general
physical condition. A gradual absorp
tion of pus”from an abscess, for in
stance, into the circulation of the
blood will cause heart affections,
arthritis and rheumatism, You can
realize, therefore, how very necessary
it is to be sure that yvour teeth are
healthy—and only a reliable edentist
can be absolutely sure after making
a careful examination. If vou will call
at the At'anta Dental Parlors this
eXamination will be made free of
charge. Call any time-—at your con
venience. You will always find a staff
of compgtent dentists ready to serve

For the Public Schools;
’
Not Sentimental Hysten
As predicted by my friends in Sunday’s papers, through
a pre-arranged plan of the school politicians, the children of
o . &
our public schools were used Monday afternoon to distribute
thousands of cireulars, in
T e ey the interest of the ‘“Slate”

.-':',,;\l' _'=%»_.‘_f_,_;};::: o e 4 s facts bearing on the
f“ o A school situation:
*%fifi*‘ & plaint of their circular is
e o 2 5 1 nregard to school condi-
Caa ,V ‘j tions—every voter and
e §§ tax-payer knows that the
T ¥ g. L city’s income is limited.
% ,** j ’fi‘; A The Board of Education
. (,:,,,3 i v’iiv"“ i has presented its claims
i - > to council time and again,
i ¥ 4 %\ and considering the other
g B L ity departments, I be
i P 533 city departments, -
i 3 lieve the council has done
WTN Sm A .:‘“fi{. g its best h\ the schools.
e I am for better condi
tions in the schools, but it
takes money and lots of it to build schools and employ
new teachers each year. Many teachers have resigned. Lots
of them have married; others went into war work, and ether
places of more attractive remuneration.
Perhaps 179, ofo ur teachers have resigned, but in many
other professions or businesses as high as 409, or 509, have
gone into new places.
The opposition speaks of pilitics in the schools. T claim
they have turned the whole school system, teachers, pupils
and all, bodily into a political machine. The principals of
two prominent schools are making demands on Mayor-Eleet
James L. Key in regard to council appointments, and claim
they represent the Parent-Teachers Association. -
In conclusion, Mr. Tax-Payer, I want you to know that
this year the salaries of teachers have been raised more than
109, and $100,000.00 of the tax money has been spent this
year, 1918, on new buildings and improvements to old ones.
If you saver this new nolitical school hobby, vote for my
opponent, if, on the contrary, you favor conservative, sane,
business methds, without hysteria, I promise you my best ef
forts for the pupils (your child) as well as the teachers, and
I will appreciate your vote—*
—TOMORROW——
I have been endorsed by four out of five schools in the
Fifth and Bighth Wards—my home district—and with my
four years’ experience on the School Board, I feel sure that
I can serve the people intelligently and honestly as a mem
ber of the new board.
Respectfully,
GEO. F. EUBANKS.
