O’LOUGHLIN
By JACK VEIOCK,
EW YORK, Dec. 21.--The voice of
“8ilk"” O Loughlin will be heard
no more in the major leagues
His famous ‘‘strike tuh’ has resound
ed through bleacher and grandstand for
the last time, for “Silk'' passed down the
jong, long trail in Boston Friday and
baseball lost one of Itß most famous um
pires.
But the memory of O'Loughlin will
live on. He will take hig place in base
ball annals as one of the most pie
turesque figures in the history of the
game
His eminent fairness as a judge of
piay, his keen interpretation of the rules
wnnid his fearle ess in rendering de
cisions are traditions of the diamond
For eighteen ears—ever since 1901
#Bilk” O Loughlin reigned as one of the
game's greatest arbiters In all that
Lme no ball player ever won a bout at
repartee with him, and no one ever pre
wujled on him to change a decision. [t
was O Loughlin who first said
“There is no such thing as a close de
cision The man is either safe or out.”
And he maintained this maxim
throughout his career
Because of his ability O'Loughlin wag
seldom compelled to exert the full limit
of his authority He ruled with a hand
of iron,
But “Silk”’ was the idol of the fans
tie knew the carryving power and reso
napce of his voice, and he used to in
form the whole countryside of what was
going on within the ball park
¥ His famous ‘“‘strike tuh"” often imi
tated, will live always. Many incidents
of O'Loughlin's verval bouts with the
playvers are told and retold A plaver
once said to him, “You're wrong, Silk
I tell you vou're wrong “Tut. tut, my
boy.” replied Silk, in as silky a tone as
ever he used toward the players “Where
do you get that stuff? I am never
wrong! 1 never made a wrong decision
in my life."”
It was just O'Loughlin's way He
knew it was only human to make mis
tnkes, But he never admitted as much
to & ball player with the exception of
possibly one instance in a verbal bout |
which he won, as he always won them.

NEW . YORK, Dec. 2.--Manager Mec-
Ciraw, of the Giants, is angling for
Catcher Earl Smith, of the Rochester

‘er's average.
i “It's all wrong—
Sit's all wrong,” in
" gist many baseball
‘ experts, ‘“‘And it's
i wrohg, too, not to
: give a batter some
sort of statistical
credit for working
the pitcher for a|
pass or for making
a sacrifice hit or |
sacrifice fly."’
John Heydler,
president qf the
:
A
National [eague, has been drawn Inito
the controversy and John freely admits
that it isn't quite right that a fellow
who fietn five singles in ten times at
bat should have as high a percentage
rating as one who hits out two doubles,
one triple and two homers in the same
number of times at the klate.
“Phose who will dig through the hit
ting records in future years will not get
the proper idea of a batsman’s real value
by the present system of figuring bat
ting averages,”’ declared Heydler., “For
instance, the fan of the future will hear
about the greatness of Gavvy Cravath
as a slugger. He will look up Cra
vath's record—and it won't impress hin.
If he stops to study the batting mark
which Gravath turned in in 19156 he will
see that he made only 149 hits for an
average of .285-—a mark which isn't at
all impressive,
“Many players topped Cravath in the
batting ladder of 1915, His rank was
seventeenth, yet, without a doubt, Cra
vath in 1915 was the most valuable
batsman in the National because in
ecluded among his 149 hits were 3l
doubles, 7 triples and 24 home runs. But
under the present system of ncormf the
fellow who rapped out 149 singles in as
many times at bat as did Cravath is
ranked just as valuable. -
Heydler also feels that a man who
receives a bage on balls should get some
sort of credit for it in the averages.
Under the present scheme a man who
works a pitcher lfin‘ a pass merely is
exempted from a time at bat,
“Players spend years per!trctlns the
art of getting free tickets,” said the
National ' League president, “‘Surely
some recognition of their suecess in ac
r'omplhhlnfi their purpose should be
placed in the records. And I feel that
the men who send out sacrifice flies or
lay down sacrifice bunts should get
some sort of credit, too. Successfu!
bunting is a trick not easily learned.
Furthermore, when a player attempts a
sacrifice the chances are.against him,
If he makes a successful sacrifice all the
eredit he gets is exemption from a time
at bat. If he fails, he is charged with
a time at bat In other words, the
rl:u'vr who s asked to sacrifice risks
weing charged with a time at bat and
really stands to gain nothing except on
the rarest possible occasions a fluke in
fielq sipgle.”
Heydler perhaps will bring the mat
ter of changing keoring rules up for
consideration at the inter-league meet
ing in January and it is E:ulhle that
gsome radical uhan%ma will made.

| EW YORK, Dec. 21.—Jack Hen
dricks, the smiling manager of ‘
the St. Louis Cardinals, is back |
. - * ‘
from France today, after a short term
|as an athletic secretary for the
Knights of Columbus, “over there.”
1 Hendricks arrived on the White
| Star lther Megantic late yesterday
| and brought back a salt-air complex
lon and the news that the doughboys
{ across the pond “want baseball as
| never before.” He says his contract
| to manage the Cards has another
| year to run and he expects to take
| charge of the team and begin lining
'up his plavers in the ncar future
‘Bascball should have a good vear,"
#ald Hendricks “If the interest here
|can be judged from the interest
| shown by the soldier boys abroad, the
lu.un-- ought to flourish
“Don’t think for a minute that the
‘erlrr.fl don’t want baseball They
| played a lot of baseball in France
| and it is probable that a number of
| future major league stars are in the
making among soldier teams ag& a re
sult”
Asked regarding the future of the
Cardinals, Hendricks replied that he
only had a line on two or three of his
players. Frank Snyder, first catcher,
is stationed at Dijon with a motor
transport corps and Hendricks has
little hope of his belng mustered out,
Walton Cruise and Jack Smith, St
TLouis outfielders, and Second Base
man Jack Miller are all said to te in
Prance, but Hendricks was unable to
locate them,
Branch Rickey, who (s now a 2 major
in the chemical warfare service at
Chaumont, which is General Persh
ing's headquarters, may not be able
to return very soon, according to the
Cardinal pilot,
While abroad Hendricks visited
Chateau Thierry and in the course
of performance of his duty came in
contact with thousands of doughboys,
“I ran into boys from every town in
which I used to manage a club,” said
Jack, “1 was with Evers part of the
time, and, believe me, Jonn was cer
tainly popular abroad.”
During a visit to a hm&)ltll in the
Argonne district Hendricks found
Eddie Quinlan, a ball' player, who
saw service with Columbus, Salt Lake
and Oakland, and who was once given
a trial by the White Sox. Quinlan
had his left eye shot out and his left
leg shot off eight hours before the
armistice was nizm:d. e
“And there are a lot more ball play
ers, many of them well known in the
minors, who more than did their bit,”
said Hendricks,
He added that the grief of France
over her dead is pitiful to see, He
sald that fully 86 per ceiit of :he
women are in mourning
Getting back to the Cards, he said:
It we can get our players back, the
Cards will be strong uext season. We
Jost nine players who were really vital
to the olub up to July 1. They were
Juke Smith and Walt Cruise, outfield
ers; Snyder, catcher; Miller, second
baseman; Baird, third baseman, and
Goodwin, May, Sherdell and Horstman,
pitchers, Give us these players and
you'll see a different team in St Louls "

did not resembie the man who was

to settle the question. SBhipmates of

BIGCHANCE
By W. 8. FARNSWORTH.
EW YORK, Dec. 21.—The an
nouncement of Willlam H. last,
former President of the United
States, that he will not serve baseball
in any capacity, is a sad blow 10 local
fans. Mr. Taft could have led the game
out of the wilderneds and put it back
on the same high plane it occupled years
ARO.
There is no doubt that Mr. Tl% meant
every word he said when he tol Harry
Hempstead and Harry Frazee that he
would consider their offer, But when
he found that Ban Johnegon, Garry Her -
mann and a few moguls didn't warin
up to the {)ruposluon of making nim
Hafl%all‘s jiggest Man, Mr. Taft just
u?pped considering.
| ‘ohnson and Herrmann have heen so
Jong the High-Muck.-a-Mucks of baseball
‘that they refused for, their own per
'sonal feelings to indorse Mr. Taft.
What a terrible thing it would have
been for them to be c*throned. It mat
!tered not to them that Mr. Taft is one
‘of the few men who can save the great
‘national game.
If Herrmann and Johnson had any
‘love for baseball outside of the money
they derive from it, they would have
'heen among the first to indorse the idea
that was f"'fl‘ birth in the brains of
Frazee and Hempstead,
John Heydler, acting president of the
National l.eague, heartily indorsed Mr.
Taft. But Heydler is a far-seaing lead
er. For the other members of the Na
tiona! Commission we ¢an not say as
much. The only time they are for any
thing in baseball is when they theme«
selves originate a scheme,
Johnson made an awful blunder on the
“work or fight"” order. The fans were
disgusted with his tacties. © Further.
more, the ball players must have lost all
respect for both Johnson and Herrmann,
for the manner in which they handied
the threatened strike during the world
series games in Boston last September.
The writer was present at the meet
ing in the umpires’ room in Fenway
Park when the players met the National
Commission. Heydler alcne was pre
pared to argue the case at hand with
the dlamond stars. And Johnson and
Herrmann were s 0 busy talking a lot
of nonsense that Heydler cou'd only get
in a word here and there,
Finally, Harry Hooper, chiirman of
(he‘éfluyers' committee, said:
“We will-play, but we are doing it
o":iv for the sake of the fans out there
and the good name of baseball.”
Yet, fair readers, Johnson and Herr
mann would not come out and acecept
with n}wn arms such a big man as Wil
liam H. Taft, .
.
Nomin.flfl! a Commissioner.
Boxing undoubtedly is coming back
into Its own in this fair State. The
Governor-elect is a rabid fan, and his
friends predict that he will favor a box
ing bill, However, Mr. Emith will see
to it that a big man is appointed at the
helm of the sport. He won't stand for
the brand of officials that conducted the
tnme during the days of the Horton and
‘rawley laws.
The writer believes there are {wo men
who could ably nll the position and see
to it that «the petty larceny grafting
that has too long been identified with
the sport be thrown right in the old ash
can.
Our first nomination s Bat Master
gon, of The Morning Telegraph. Bat
knows the game frog coup to nuts and
back again. And we believe he would
be as fearless a commissioner as he is
sport writer, Masterson has heen con.
nected with boxing since he ‘orv short
trousers—and that's a long Yime. He
knows a faker at first sight, and we
know boxing would be kept as pure as
the lily white with him in the pllot
house.
Our second nomination is Bill Brown,
the famous conditioner of men and
New York's best referee, ".lke Master
son, Brown is acquainted th every an
