The Tucson manager has decided

the Milwaukee team of. the AaaezfeM
Association for a time last season. He
used to he a batter as well as a pitcher
but Us stick work has, been deficient
of late. Hester is well pleased with
Hairs pitching, however.
Herb Hester won't say which of his
men he regards as the most valuable
to the team, but he remarked that If
Harry McArdle could bat a little better
he would be drawing down J1.W0 a

While Pittman was under suspension
Brown played the center garden so
well for Phoenix that Hester used him
another day after Pittman was elig

of the Phoenix fans only onee. -and that
was when he took "Red" Toner out of

walked to the bench. Toner received an
ovation. The carrot topped one was
beginning to weaken a little and

To Lead the League Is Too Much to Expect of a New
Team, Says "Wild Bill" Donovan, Manager; Um

Game; Fines for Players to Abate Evil.
By FRAMv
NEW YORK. May 11. And now,
let us discourse a bit concerning
thote, popeyed 2Jew York, Yank
ees. TJp to the present ntoment, we
have refrained from uttering a few
kind' words concerninz them. There's
a reason, as they say in breakfast food
circles. The reason is that in the past
whenever someone asserted that "the
Tanks look good" the Yanks promptly
rose up and called that someone a liar
by trying to burrow through the bot
tom of the American league.
But this year it may be different At
any rate, we cannot do other than make
the plain statement that the ISIS
Yankees look better and have been dis
playing better baseball than any Yank
team since Jack Cbeebro and associates
nearly won a pennant in 1904.
The Yanks, so far. have been the real
mrnrke nf tha American leairue. Xo
one expected them to get away with a
jump because of two seemingly gooa
reasons. One was that it was a com
paratively new ball club and it was
figured that it would take a month or
so for it to get to working smoothly.
The second reason and the most Im
portant was that during the first three
weeks of the campaign the Yanks have
been pitted against the supposedly best
teams la the American league.
"Wild Bill" Donovan's outfit has
tackled the Senators, with their peer
less Walter Johnson, the ever danger
ous Athletics and the Red Sox. who
were touted as almost certain grabbers
of the ISIS rag. The Yanks tackled
that formidable array and emerged
victorious.
Of coarse, with the Yanks going west
there may be a different story to telL
Maybe the western outfits will band
them a jolt. But if the Yanks can
turn back the attacks of the three
G. 5IENKE.
strongest clubs in the league, it Isn't
logical to assume that they will be in
glorioualy walloped in the eastern
westers battles. ' '
Will Be In First Division.
"Wild Bill." the managerial gent,
isr-'t dreaming pennant dreams.
That s too much to expect oi a new
ball club," he says. "But you cen bet
on it that the Yanks are going to land
a first division berth the height of my
ambition for 1915."
The most surprising feature of the
Yanks' showing to date has been its
pitching. Caldwell, Keating. Fisher
and McHale are In great shape. War
hop will round Into form with warmer
weather and "Old King" Cole is ex
pected to perform nobly in relief roles
as soon as be recovers from his recent
operation.
Caldwell's greatest achievement to
date was his I to e victory over Walter
Johnson, in which he allowed the Sen
ators only two hits. Not to be out
done, Keating pitched a two hit game
against the Red Sox a few days later
and Fisher has been pitching consis
tent low hit games. ,
Club Is Hitting Well.
Pipp and High, secured from the De
troit Tigers, have added greatly to the
batting strength of the club. The club,
as a whole, is hitting at a great clip
and hitting in pinches. Its fielding is
far above the Yankee standard of other
years and the catching department is
strong.
"When you look us over very closeW."
remarked "Wild Bill." -you discover
that we don't look so bad after all.

Umpires are humar beings. They
aren't dogs. The ti able is that the
players think they can call the umpires
any and all the foul names that their
tongues can form. The practice of
umpire baiting besmirches America's
national game and it should be stopped.
Should Fine Players.
Umpire baiting is a detriment to the
game and always has been. But it
never will stop until club presidents co
operate with league presidents and fine
the players ftr their disgraceful con
duct The most vulnerable part of a
player is his pay envelope. If he's
swatted then a few times for sums
ranging from $25 to 1100 it Is a cinch
bet that he will conduct himself with
a certain amount of decency in the fu
ture What utter 'oily it is for a player to
use abusive language toward an umpire
in an effort to get him to change his
verdict on a play! The umpires are
not infallible, bat they work on the
theory that they are. and not once in a
thousand times do they reverse a de
cision. The ball player knows this and ns
knows that the best he ever gets in an
argument with an umpire is the worst
of It Yet hardly a game Is played In
the big or little leagues that, some of
the players do not upbraid an umpire
for his rulings.
It's a Grand Stand Play.
Probably the chronic umpire baiters
kick up the fuss in an effort to make
a grand stand play In a foolish effort
to show the fans that they have some
of this socalled "pep" and "fighting
qualities." The play to the grand stand,
however. Is a failure. The spectators
don't consider umpire baiting anything
other than a boob exhibition on the part
of the player, and further proof that
the player should have his head exam
ined. Lmwres very often make miserable
errors. But they won't change their

and it my hout its jeers at the um

wants the players to play ball; it
