SHIRES VENTS
HIS FEELINGS
Blackburne Say* He Will
Boss Club, or Else; Cis
sell In Revolt
DALLAS, Tex., April 2.—(JP)—
Revolution has broken out in the
ranks of the White Sox because of
the training methods and disciplin
ary measures enforced by Manager
“Lena” Blackburne. Blackburne,
the rebels charged, had wounded
their pride by “snooping” on their
actions off the diamond. Further
more, they said the team was not
being run right and they were
forced to play fourth rate teams on
precarious diamonds without any
possibility of learning any basehall.
Despite recent warnings from
the Chicago headquarters and his
three-day benching and the loss of
his captaincy for breaking a train
ing rule, Art Shires, Rookie first
baseman, dictated a statement in
which he gave vent to his feelings.
"I didn’t want to come to this
club in the first place,” the Texan
said. "And I didn’t ask them for
the captaincy. If they don’t want
me to play first base for them, all
right, too. If they don’t want me
on their squad, all right again. Let
them trade me or send me back to
the minors. There are plenty clubs
that can use me.”
Several other plays, not as bold
as Shires to give a public state
ment, complained they were being
treated as juveniles.
Blackburne said he was running
the club and he intends to en
force the training rules.
Bill Cissell, who cost the White
Sox $123,000 in 1927. was another
who openly admitted his dissatis
faction. Cissell.' like Shires, was
benched for breaking rules.
By CHARLEY BARRETT
Big League Scout
The hidden bail trick is a great
favorite among the bush league
clubs. They try it on an average
of about once a game and ring in
all kinds of fancy variations.
When enly one umpire is work
ing a game this play is really very
difficult to call properly. Most of
the time the umpire is fooled just
as badly as the base runner, and
he must get his wits together in
a hurry to save himself from an
embarrassing position.
Down at Taylor, Tex., a play
came up on a hidden ball trick
! that never was satisfactorily solved
—although under big league con
ditions this mixup probably could
not have happened.
With a runner on third base play
was suspended while a pinch hit
ter and a pinch runner entered
the game. During the confusion
' the third baseman in some way
managed to get the ball and con
j eealed it by dropping it into his
rear pocket.
When play was resumed the
pitcher fooled around the hill long
enough for the runner to stray
from third. Shouting to attract
! the umpire’s attention, the third
sacker leaped upon the surprised
runner and both lost their foot
ing to sprawl on the ground.
The third baseman had the run
ner blocked from the bag, but in
the mixup he could not extract
the ball out of his pocket. He was
a big fellow and managed to hold
the runner off until finally he
wrenched out the ball to make the
out.
The offensive team claimed in
terference by the fielder on the
ground that he did not have the
ball in his hand. Infielder insisted
ball was in his fingers inside the
pocket all the time, and that as
long as the ball was in his posses
sion he had the right to block the
bag. The umpire ruled the man
safe and told the team to protest
the game if it cared to.

Texas, the state where good re

ed to every sport page in the coun
try. Why? Two of the most suc
cessful national meets ever held in
the U. S. were completed last week.
Friday Texas University was host to
the track artists, and on Saturday
S. M. U. at Dallas were hosts. The
meet was a success in every respect
and received the commendation of
the best “minds” of the country who
were on hand either as spectators
or as officials. Add another niche
to the fast growing one in the Lone

It docs an amateur baseball nine
a lot of good to play a professional
club now and then. For many rea
sons. If the “ams” are smart they
will pick up many pointers from
the boys who make their bread and
butter at the business. Another
thing it will take a lot of conceit
out of some of the amateurs whose
idea of their own prowess goes to
their head. Quite a difference boys,

First One Thing, Another,
Hinders Pyle’s Derby
4 ^
TRENTON. N. J.. April a.—(/!*>—
Despite his confident predictions
of success, Charles C. Pyle, im
pressario of the Trans-Continent
al Bunion Derby, has found this
year's race is not a bed of roses.
The grief started at the end of
the second day when the caravan
of Bunioneers and its accompany
ing tent show reached here. First
Trenton authorities notified Pyle
that his show, counted on to bring
in most of the revenue for the
affair, would not be permitted to
give its performance. The pro
moter met this difficulty by mov
ing the camp across the Delaware
river to Morrisville, Pa.
Next Pyle was met by a writ of
attachment whieh coat him. tem
porarily at least, possession of two
of the automobiles of his caravan.
The writ was sued out by the
Thomas Deming company, which
supplied him with 1.000 chairs for
the show. The company claimed
Pyle did not have sufficient funds
'in the bank to pay for the chairs.
The promoter retorted the funds
were there, but the chairs were
unsatisfactory, and he had stopped
payment on the check.
Paul Simpson, a dark horse from
Burlington, N. C., covered the 46.4
miles from Elizabeth to Trenton
yesterday in six hours, 10 minutes,
60 seconds to lead the pack into
the control station and take sec
ond place in the elapsed time stand
ing. Juul Cools. Belgian star,
whose time yesterday was 6:24:20,
won the lead for the two days.

Sunday, on the local field, 18 to 7.
Oscar Munoz, the new mound ace

MERCEDES, April 2.—The ;
—most dreaded weapon fans h

night in the main event of
boxing card staged here, betw
Battling Shaw and Kid Ruiz. SI
was hit low in the sixth roj
and awarded the decision, by I*
eree Ray Talbert.
• The fight, as long as it las.
was one of the fastest and rvij
interesting ever seen in the lr
arena. The boys mixed it fi!
start to finish. First one j
then the other would have |j
best of it. Ruiz was the mi
better on infighting, using a si
jab with either first, while SI
in the long distance punches .1
superior to Ruiz.
The fourth saw the San Antcf
boy kiss the canvas, as he got}
the path of a long swing of Sha
and down he went. He stayed}
the canvas until the count of se’G
Before taking it in the jaw he f
the best of the round.
Shaw, a favorite of local fa
had a worthy opponent in Rj
who is a veteran at the game, J
showed it last night. He tied 1
Mercedes boy up in the clincl
and in the breaks had the be!
of the argument. But once al
from Ruiz Shaw landed some t:
ing blows. Ruiz received a
over the eye, and Shaw’s left o:
was nearly closed as the Alamo 0
lad socked him with one of ;
short left jabs.
The card, a dandy, and proba
one of the most interesting F
moter Al Robinson has ever put
was marred in only one reaps
and that was in the third bout;
the evening between two he'
boys, Frankie Cline of Wesl
and Sailor Todd of Dallas. Hi
ever, it wasn't Cline’s fault. N
the end of the first round C)
hit the sailor in the stomach i
the Dallas lad went to the fit
taking the count of ten. The 1
pounders were scheduled to .
eight rounds. , J
As a curtain raiser a couple
ten-year-old youngsters put j
three one-minute rounds. It 1
a pippin, and put a lot of pep i
the crowd.
Kid Lupe of San Benito j
Lefty Ray of Laredo, 126 pm

being awarded the decision. I
