Heydler Was Smart iJVhen He Sent Klem on Instruction Trip I<ow Umpire Can Enforce Rules at Beginning of Season. By JACK VEIOCK. Tntornatlonal News Sporting Editor. JfEW YORK, March 28.—John Arnold Jleydler made a foxy move when he sent! Empire Bill Klem on tour of the National oegue training campa to Instruct the pitchers regarding the new rules. Heydler is a former umpire. He knows the alphabet of players and their ways by heart. In fact, he can say it backward. And he foresaw that unless the pitchers were given the lowest of lowdowns regarding what will be expected of them when the season opens there would be plenty of trouble for the umpires. So Bill Klem was sent to Dixieland thoroughly saturated in the National league’s official interpretations of new rules against freak deliveries, and when the National’s 1920 campaign gets under Cy alibis on the part of the hurlers will quite out of order. NO INFRACTIONS IN NEW RULES. The National league Intends to live up to the new rules from the start. There wll be no Infractions, not if Heydler and his competent staff of arbiters can help it, and the pitcher who attempts to get aronnd the letter of the law will find the going hard. The spitter alone will live on through the coming season. After that baseball will be rid of all the freaks in the art of pitching, unless some of the sly slingers Invent new and camouflaged tricks, and that will be difficult to do under the new code, which does not permit of a pitcher soiling the ball, either by rubbing it in his glove or on his uniform. It has been pointed out by some baseball critics that the pitchers probably will attempt to substitute the “bean ball'' for the intentional pass. As far as the National league Is concerned they will not get away with it. •‘There will be no bean ball pitching In our league,” sail Prostdent Heydler. "If the pitchers entertain the Idea that any such thing will be tolerated they had best get rid of it. Our umpires will start the season with instructions covering a number of possible emergencies of this kind and the National league will back up their actions to the limit. FINE FOR BEAN BALLERS. "It may sometimes be difficult for an umpire to determine whether a pitcher is trying to give a batsman a base on balls or whether his inaccuracy in pitching is due to poor control. But any time a pitcher aims the ball at the batsman several times there will be no mistake about what he is trying to do. I am sure that a fine and an indefinite suspension would soon eradicate any such practice.’’ „ „ Klem's tour of the camps calls for a visit to every National league training haunt with the exception of Pasadena. Cal., where the Cubs hold forth. Bui Klem will have a chin-fest with the Cub pitchers in Chicago prior to the oi>enlng the season. ■ There is much speculation among baseball fans throughout the country regarding what effect the new pitching rules will have on batting. Many baseball critics are Inclined to believe that the abolition of the freaks will result in increased hitting, and it is our belief that it will help the batsmen. Whether the ruling out of the freaks themselves or the knowledge on the part of the batter that he is not facing a (linger with a bagful of tricks will weigh more heavily in favor of increased hitting is a question. But the fact remains that tne batsmau who lias con fidence in himself is the one who gets the most hits, and the passing of the freaks should lend him confidence. Hank O'Day, hiiuseit a veteran pitcher and umpire, points out that although the magnates have been me king rules and adopting legislation for years with a view to handicapping- the pitchers, the art of flinging was never more perfect than It Is today. Hank believes the abolition of the so-called freaks will •gilv tend to make the Ditchers work and in the end force them to better baseball. ■ n spite of the many things that been done to handicap the pitch - SeSsE said O’Day recently, "they still the edge on the batter, and they always have it. The more you tr ■ hold them down the better they w' 1 pitch.” Jack’s $500,000 Won’t Amount to Such a Much NEW YORK, March 26.—A man who said he represented Jack Dempsey, champion heavyweight pugilist, called on William H. Edwards, collector of internal revenue, at the New York custom house and asked what the income tax would be on $500,000. “The normal tax on SSOO 000 is $40,810 and the surtax $283,510. making a total ol $304,350.” said the collector. •‘That means that if Dempsey gets $500,000 for fighting Carpentier he will actually receive but $195,650.” said Dempsey's representative. “That's Just what it means,” said the collector. Dempsey's representative left the cus tom house with a thoughtful look on his face. WARM STUFF POOR ROOKIES. On* where the gross Is a Httle longer. And where natnnq makes one much stronger; That's where all the Rookl, who get the ax. Will soon be goln’ with those bum contracts— There where folk do not shave everyday.

Chorus of catchers: “No.” He’ll probably be slipping into the bags ahead of the ball as usual, though. Kentucky has Joined the list of states which permit boxing. New York may put on the gloves next.

Gibbons Go Planned to Raise Curtain on Carpentier Program Promoter Melody Says Mike Is Logical Opponent for French Idol . By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, March 38—Mike Gibbens I vs. Georges Carpentier, ten rounds. Here’s a bout that should strike a I popular chord with the boxing fans on "his side of the water—a bout that ought ; to give American fistic followers a good line on the great French fighter. Gene Melady of Omaha, manager of Earl Caddoek. has offered to stage this bout, and is confluent that no more suitable boxer can be found to face Carpentier in his first bout In America than Gibbons. Melady offers the St. Paul “phantom" $25,000 for his end, and Is i prepared to satisfy Carpentier financially. The only stipulation he makes is that he I shall select the site for the bout. AOTION ASSURED IN TEN ROUNDS. The name of Gibbons as an opponent I ] for Carpentier in a ten-round bout suggests action and plenty of it, from gong |to gong. Gibbons, though a veteran, ' still ranks as one of the cleverest boxers ! who ever drew on a glove. He is. prehaps, America’s most scientific boxer, and though he decs not fight continually, he is far from through. Melady says Michael can be ready for Carpentier on six weeks' notice, and if Georges really wants to box in the United States prior to his proposed bout with Dempsey, here’s his cnance to show American fans Just how handy he is with uis mittens. Gibbons has never been badly beaten : by any of the young army or boxers he •I has met in the ring—and he has met all of the best men of his weight. Today at I the age of 85, he keeps himself in perI feet condition, for he trains whether he ! has a match scheduled or not. In his | recent bout with Mike O’Dowd at St. Paul, the “Phantom” lost the popular decision, bnt he stood toe to toe with ! U'Dowd and fought the champion at his ! own game. Melady was among those | present when Gibbons met O’Dowd and I it was there he got the idea of matching i Gibbons with Carpentier. “Mike suffered a cut over one of his i eyes in the early rounds and later on ' hurt his right hand,” said Melady. ‘That j cut bled profusely and made Mike look like he was getting much the worse of it to many of the spectators. Personally, X don’t think he deserved worse than a draw with O’Dowd, and there were many old timers at the ringside with me who felt the same about it. RATED AS CLEVER MAN. “I consider Gibbons the cleverest boxer in the world right now. I don't ba. any of them. They say Carpentier is wonderfully clever, and if he really is a scientific boxer I don’t know of a man who could make him extend himself more than Mike. That's why I made Gibbons the offer to meet Georges and why I am ready to give Carpentier a banrjyome sum to agree to the match. “My offer is primarily a sporting proposition. The sporting angle appeals more to me than the financial possibilities, for I would travel hundreds of miles to see Gibbons and Carpentier in action and I would expect to see a rousin' good battle. too. Don't let anybody tell you that Gibbons Is through. He’s far from it. That’s why I figure Mike the logical man for the Frenchman, and if Georges really intends to box. I believe he will make a popular move by meeting a boxer of Gibbons’ caliber.”
