There were rays of sunshine for the Bulldogs, though. Pem Cornelius and Jack Renner showed up especially well, running hard and picking up extra yard when it counted. The only trouble is that it did not show on the acorsbord.

example. In 1924, he thought Stanley (Bucky) Harris was the man to manage his Senators. So he gave him the job. By 1929 Griffith lost faith in Bucky's managerial ability so he fired him. By 1935, Grifith thought Harris was his man again so out came another managerial contract. Eight years later, the Washington owner underwent another change of mind and gave Harris his walking papers. Now after a seven-year lapse,| Griffith again thinks Harris is the man for the job. Has No Monopoly Griffith has no monopoly on fickleness among the club owners, however. : In the spring of 1946, Shortstop Vern Stephens, then with the Browns, made a brief jump to the Mexican League. W sreupon the St. Louis management blandly announced it hadn't been planping on Stephens too much anyway. Instead, the Browns said, they were grooming Mark Christ-

berth, But when Stephens returned to the states, St. Louis welcomed him with all the fanfare usually reserved for conquering heroes. Buried was the talk about Christman being the No. 1 shortstop and Stephens immediately was restored to his old position. Throughout most of last season, the Chicago White Sox official family believed it had blundered by signing Jack Onslow as manager. By the end of the camWhite Sox officials were sure of it. Yet, only a few nights Vice President Charles Comiskey and General Manager Frank Lane sat down together, talked things over and came to the unanimous conclusion that Onslow is the man who can best help the club climb in 1950. For further hocus-pocus, consider the case of Bucky Walters and the Cincinnati Reds. Walters had pitched for the Reds 10 years and in August, 1948, the club decided he was the

question a decision on the basis of favoritism. Perhaps it is desirable to phasize the impression of ney main point to consider is this: Would such a change make for more competent umpiring? I don't believe a good umpire needs to be reminded that he must call them af he sees them, whether he’s working a spring training game, or a World Series game. And a| bad umpire, of course, shouldn't be in basehal).

MOST of the umpires T'vg been able to get in touch with in recent days are opposed to the suggestion and they strongly resent the implied accusation that their decisions could be influenced by their league affiliations. The two

National and Will Harridge of! the American, are against it, too. Why wouldn't they be? it cuts into their authority, True enough, but part of their job is to maintain the illusion of a red hot rivalry between the two leagues and any action tending to produce a contrary effect—such as pooling the services of the umpires—might conceivably invite their honest objections. Besides, I consider Frick and Harridge knowing baseball men. ve have been around for a t number of years, I saw them at the series long before Chandler ever revealed his ambition to be baseball's great white father. I believe Frick and Harridge are sincere in their opposition and I must believe, further, that they - really know more about baseball than does Chandler— and this is not meant as a slap at the reformed politician who by now, considering all the critical

but, being a smart old gaffer, lost little time in getting out from under. This was in the '33 series between the Giants and the Washingtons. Charlie Moran threw Heinle Manush, Washington slugger, out of a key game following a rowdy scene at first base on a close decision. - # LANDIS took the position that it was dangerous to entrust the

umpires with so much authority

in a World Series and when the St. Louis Cards and the Tigers met the next season he told them; “You call the plays but if any‘body's to be thrown out I"ll do the throwing.” That was the series in which he ejected Ducky Wucky Medwick when irate Detroit fans showered the Cards’ outfielder with an assortment of vintage fruit in the outfield. Remember? : Landis must have felt the umepires could have handled that situation just as well, if not better than he did, for the next time the two leagues came together, which was in the All-Star game the following summer in Cleveland, the judge called on the umpires in their dressing room and delivered himself of the following information: “I'm through umpiring, boys. I hope you don’t have to throw anybody out today, but if you do, don’t look to me for help.” LS n .

THERE is only one thing wrong with the umpires, There aren't enough good ones. Let Frick and Harridge redouble their scouting activities. They need younger and more active supervisors, too. It wouldn’t hurt any, either, if the umpires were moved around more often. A six-game stretch in one city is plenty long. If Chandler's threat to take over.can bring about a more lively determination for improved condi tions on the part of both league presidents—well, I think, we’ll all happily agree the commissioner
