S a champion umpire Tim Hurst
J held several major-league records
no doubt of It. He met ball
players, all shapes and sizes, and ha
lost but few decisions. Fanatic crowds,
too, came In for touches of Timothy's
temper.
There are two other umpires In the
game today, though, who rank as high
up the arblting scales as Hurst, and.
strange to say. the two men graduated
from the same professional school, the
American Association. Steve Kane ta
one and Brick Owens the other.
Kane Is handling the Portland-Vancouver
series In Portland. He la short
and stocky and for this reason was let
out by the National League this Spring
after two years' service, but back In
the American Association they think
he Is the hope of the white race.
Kane Heads Off Trouble.
Umpire Kane Is one of the few um
pires who will head off trouble before
trouble has a chance to get him. but
let the other fellow go too far and
the pent-up dynamic lorce explodes.
The writer has seen both Kane and
Owens In action In many times In the1
Chlvington circuit. Minneapolis and
St. Paul, with only the bridge between,
have always been the bitterest ene
mies in the A. A. League.
"Guess we'll send Steve up there."
President O'Brien, of Milwaukee, used
to say back In 190$ and 190". And j
r-teve always went, uwena is sun in
the circuli4 onststently refusing major
league prqffers, but even Brick was
sidetracked from the Twin City fra
casea during almost an entire season
two or three years airo.
"Do you remember that old Joke the
scribes liked to spring back there about
the rumored consolidation of Mlnneapo
lis and Paul under the name 'Minne
haha' 'Mlnne' for Minneapolis and 'ha
ha' for St. Paul?" the writer asked
Kane yesterday In his room at the Ore
gon Hotel.
"You bet I do. and I also remember
few dozen pop bottles and a boulder
the size of a baseball that bin iced me
in the hand" once in Minneapolis." re
plied Steve, his eyes klndllirv- with the
old light of conquest. Gee! But those
were strenuous times back In the Twin
Cities when Minneapolis was down In
the race.
"Thlnfrs seem to be breaking against
an umpire when the crowd Jumps on
his neck but the papers all around the
circuit urged President Chlvington to
sidetrack one of his present staff and
take me on last month," 'continued
Kane.
Owens Point; Well.
"How ls.Owens doing now?" pressed
the Interviewer.
"Oh, Brick la getting along finely,"
answered his ump.
'Yes. and Brick broke into the A. A.
game with me. I think It was In 1903
or 190s. He had been holding an In
dicator In the Western Association and
when the American Increased its staff
to six men owena waa secured anil
was assigned to try out on the bases
Ith me.
"Them were great days." mused
Steve In the words of the classic. "I
remember one time in Milwaukee I put
Harry Clark. the veteran beertown
third Backer, out of the series for rough
tuff, and what did the fans do but
get out a court Injunction restraining
me from enforcing the order. A police 1
nicer told me I would be arrested if
made any move to keep him out. so
went to President O'Brien; showed
him the legal documents, and Joe told
me I'd better let the thing slide. That's
one time I kept my foot out of It."
Steve tells a story Illustrating the
pugnaclous tralts of Owens, his former
teammate, showing how these traits
sometimes work out in behalf of his
nibs.

"Owens got his Job In the American
Association as the result of one of
the most remarkable set-tos In the his

If a close decision goes against the
home team the umps had best prepare
for war. Usually he goes over the cen
terfield fence with half the populace
surging at his heels.
"Owens wasn't this kind. He got

one day at Arkansas City, the clouds

the Arkansas City crowds were in a
direful humor, but be went right along

bawled Brick, and then the storm
broke. Out on the field roared the wild
mob splitting the air with bricks and
Kansas ejaculations. A rangy man,
with extra sprinting powers reached
Owena first, or rather Owens reached
the tall man nrst and down he went
"in a heap" with several of the crowd
toppling headlong over him.

then rushed upon the multitude. Near

Three hundred men and boys stared for
one second and then broke ranks. Brick
pursued, beating at the hindmost of the
baiters, who howled for protection.
"The police had shown no Inclination
to protect the umpire but now, when
lie was clubbing the mob, they rushed
upon the field and beseeched him to
stay his mighty hand. Brick heard and
obeyed, but from that day on what he
said on the diamond at Arkansas City
went for its full face value. The story

Carious Situation ljxlsts.
A curious situation with regard to
umpires 'exists in the Northwestern
League this season, a condition, which
will undoubtedly come in for consider
able probing at the meeting of league
directors today at Seattle. Last Fall
the magnates adopted a rule barring
Indicator holders who reside In any of
the cities 'of the circuit. At least an
announcement to this effect was made
after the session.
The directors then went ahead and
hired three men. Ward, Shackleford and
Longanecker, every one a resident of
a city in the Northwestern circuit.
Frary. the best umpire that ever wore
a Northwest uniform, was allowed to
go to the Union League, and many are
of the opinion that the non-resident
rule was coined especially for his ben
efit, as Frary owns a bar and' cafe in
Spokane. President Lindsay declares
that Frary was not dropped but was
offered a contract and refused. This
may be, but according to Frary, the
offer carried a slash in salary altogeth.
er out of comparison with his Increase
In efficiency . and experience.
Ward has since dropped out and an
effort wlir.be made by one or two of
the clubs to oust Shackleford and Long
anecker. Nick Williams is leading the
onslaught against Longanecker, the re
sult of their mlxup. In the first series at
Spokane when longanecker fined 'him
something like 150 In -the week.
Longanecker may : have used poor
Judgment In exerting his powers to the
limit, in fact a temporary suspension
' always sounds better than a fine of the
S50 variety. But the fact remains that
those who have watched Longanecker's
work In two leagues, the Western Can
ada and the California Winter League,
say that he has the making of an. ex
cellent official. This being the case,
why not give him time to work out his
own course. Frary had trouble during
his first month In the league, but after
that he went ahead and developed into
"the find of the season."
- Bcjinctt. Lauds Ionganecker.
Pug Bennett, veteran Ihne'lder, who
Is holding down the -second sack for
Vancouver during the present series,
tells an interesting story of Winter ball
in California. . Bennett played second
for San Diego this last Winter. Longa
necker was one of the official umpires.
"Longanecker got away In fine shape
down there." says Bennett, "notwith
standing the fact that the umpires have
absolutely no Jurisdiction over the
players and cannot even forfeit games.
I believe he will make good up here if
they give him a chance. To show you
what kind of a fellow he is, when we
were, playing, the final game against
the colored Leland Giants in San Diego,
Longanecker suddenly stopped proceed
ings In the fifth inning,. turned over his
indicator,' and calmly walked . to the
grandstand and sat' down. .
."This game is crooked," he blurted
when the managers crowded around.
"Those 'niggers' are trying to throw
the game and let their backers clean
up a bunch of coin. I won't have any
thing to do with it." The news spread
Immediately . and caused a small-sized
riot in the stands where folks were
speculating .at the fierce exhibition be
ing put up by the Giants. . ...
"A new umpire was appointed imme
diately and we went out. determined to
win. the money for our' hackers by
playing even worse than the negroes.
Oh. that was -an- awful -exhibition.
Neither side .wanted to win and the
way we booted the ball was shameful.
The farce finally . ended up with the
colored folks on the big end. of the
score after using nearly every man on
the team In the box in the effort to
make .us hit the ball out of the. dia
mond. ,
"No, I never want to play in another
game like that." , 1

BT RALPH H. MITCHELL.
.Irvington Club's annual Spring
handicap tennis tourney will be started
next Saturday. This announcement
was made last night by the club ten
nis committee, of which W. D. Brewer
is chairman. The wet weather of the
past week has put a damper on the
sport this month, but it is hoped by tbo
committee that the sun soon will shine
and put the courts In excellent condition
early this week.
As the tournament opens next Sat
urday, play will run practically through
the following week with the finals on
Saturday, May 27.
There will be the usual handicap
events In men's singles, men's doubles,
women's singles, women's doubles and
mixed doubles. Thero will be first
and second prizes in all events and
the winner of the men's singles will
hold the Ralph W. Wilbur cup for
one year. This trophy has been twice
won by Brandt Wlckersham and if he
succeeds In winning it again this
month, it becomes his permanent pos
session. Large Entry List Expected.
Owing to the fact that there was
play is better than ever and invita
tions nay, almost prayers continue
to pour In npon her. But there is an
unusual restlessness about her, a
wavering of that remarkable determi
nation and decisiveness, that is caus
ing some slight undercurrent of un
easiness on her behalf.
"The more eeniimental amongst us

this season as many new members have
joined the club this Spring. The fact
that unusual interest was manifested
in the club tournament last year by
the women, particularly among the
younger set. is evidence that an espe
cially large list of the fair sex will be
seen in the tournament this year.
Owing to the inclement weather of
the past few weeks,- femininity has
not been so prominent on the courts,
but it is believed with the announce
ment this morning of the opening of
the Snrinir tournament next Saturday a
large, number will take advantage of
the opportunity, weather permitting,
to get into trim by next Saturday.
The fact that several of the wo
men members, as well as tne men, nave
been playing the indoor game this past
Winter means play in the tourney will
be faster and no doubt much more ex
citing than in previous club tournaments.
Announcements have been sent
out by Chairman Brewer of the Irving
ton club and it appears that a large
number of out-of-town players will be
in Portland for the North Pacific In
ternational in July. ,
The state tournament, too, will see
many new races, particularly among
the younger players, and representa
tives from the Portland Heights, the
Belmont and the Portland tennis clubs
will be seen on the Multnomah courts.
The Portland tennis club, which has
close to 100 members, has put its
courts near East 67th street on the
Montavilla carllne in excellent condi
tion. Many members are practicing
when the weather permits for the tour
nament this year and the rivalry exist
ing among the players is evidence that
the best will be picked for the coveted
honor of representing: the Portland
club In the tournament.
Yesterday was set aside as a gala
day among the Portland club members
and their friends, for entertainment
in and outside the club home, but the
rain Interfered to a considerable ex
tent with the plans.
Oregon "U" to Mc Washington.
In State University tennis circles espe
cial interest is being taken just at this
time in' the dual tennis meet between
the Washington and Oregon State Uni
versities, which Is scheduled to be held
at Eugene next Saturday. The Oregon
team has not yet been chosen but
the Washington aggregation has named
two. both being freshmen.
In the inter-class tennis tournament
at the University of Washington Fri
day. Harry F. Goetz and George
Febiger, both freshmen of Spokane won
the tennis championship by defeating
two of last year's varsity men. They
now are university champions and
with two of the varsity team will make
up the team which meets Oregon next
Saturday at Eugene. Both of the
freshmen . displayed great form and
speed In their events and simply out
classed their opponents.
The game among the fair sex at the
Oregon "V" has been given a wonder
ful impetus this year. The plan of
membership In the woman's club at
the State University Is secured by a
system of competitive tryouts. Miss
Perkins being Judge of the skill shown
among the co-eds. In the first try
out 15 girls took part and three were
successful as follows: .The Misses
Frances Adams, Mazel Rader and Nor
ma Graves.
- News has been received from the
South that Miss Florence Sutton, sis
ter of the world's woman tennis cham
pion. -is. to do the traveling for the
Sutton family this year, at least some
of it, for so far as can be learned
from the champion. she apparently
won't travel at all. But like Miss
Hotchkiss, she may be "keeping things
dark." "
All Summer Taken for Travel.
Florence will travel all Summer, play
ing at various tourneys with her Phila
delphia friend. Miks Dorothy Green, ;
who made Portland a visit early In the
year on her wayto California, where
she has been playing in doubles with
Miss Florence against May Sutton and
her married sister. Florence and Miss
Green will leave Los Angeles about
June 1, and will go to Philadelphia for
a few days' visit with the Green family,
before making the rounds ' of the
nation's tennis courts.
This is Miss Sutton's first tour of
conquest-hoped-for in the East with
the exception of a short visit to Cin
cinnati some years ago. Tennis will
take the first' place In the programme
of the young woman, finishing up with
the National tournaments, in which she
hopes to become a formidable competi
tor to Miss Hazel Hotchkiss and the
best of the Eastern women racquet
wlelders. In a recent issue of the Los Angeles
Times, the following appears In refer
ence to the Sutton girls:
"In the practicing this spring, Flor
ence Sutton has learned many new and
valuable tricks of the racquet and wrist
and her friends are keenly enthusiastic.
Miss May Sutton s own plans are
still rather indefinite, but she has de
cided not to leave home in any case
before the end of July. She Is, how
ever, playing at the Santa Crus an
nual tournament next month. Her
league also In rungetting and in stolen
bases, having twice as many stolen
sacks as any other rival. He has 14.
Zimmerman is the nearest rival to
Netzel, with an even .400 average.
Householder, the Victoria captain
comes third with .372. Swain, of Van
couver, has the same average in fewer
times at bat. Frisk, of Spokane, is
close to these big sluggers.
Looking at team records, it is not
hard to understand Spokane's Ion
lead. It is hard, however, to figure
ictona tailenders. If the Islanders'
pitching staff had been In even fair
condition all year, it is a cinch Victoria
would be higher up in the pennant
race. The Victorians are second in
team batting, third in extra base hit
ting, but Inferior in bunting and base
running to other teams.
The Indians are not only leading in
team batting; they also show on top in
total extra bases. In run getting. In
sacrifice bunting: and stolen bases. The
Tigers are the weakest hitters, and
have counted only 51 runs In their 21
games as against 132 for Spokane in 22
games. The team records:

Long Denies That He Has Asked
Waivers on Eastley, Lewis and
CarmenTobin Goes to Tacoma.
Bodie's Stick Work Pleases.
BY HARRY J SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. (Special.)
The Sacramento team has been con
siderably strengthened since its re
turn to California from the Northern
trip. Ben Hunt, Frank Arellanes and
Billy Mahoney, the latter an outfield
er, joined the club at Sacramento and
came to San Francisco. Hunt got right
into the first game but evidently the
long trip across the continent had a
bad effect on him, as he was wild and
at times easy to hit. Mahoney had bet
ter luck. Shoved into right field, he
got a corking two-base hit and if he
keeps up the lick will soon be near the
top of the batting order.
Frank Arellanes begged off
enough to pay a visit to the
Motorcyclists Take Trip.
The first run under the auspices of the
Portland Motorcycle Club this year took
place last Sunday, when 21 members rode
to the Twelve-Mile House on the Base
Line road. Returning by way of Trout
dale, the motorists found the roads In
good condition, although somewhat
crowded with automobiles. Ed Berrett
and W. T. Cumming, riding tandem, re
ceived a spill on the out trip, but were
not injured. Those who made the trip
were Joe Smith, Ed Berrett, Louis
Barin, W. T. Cumming. Ralph Elsea, P.
Austin, Page Williams. G. Meisy, Paul
Rigga, Harry Biek. J. Rustuholz. B.
Bowman, William Buckley, T. Hustin,
Earnest Roab. F. Getty. Joe Roah,
Patrolmen Sims and Hays, P. Abbott
and F. Wyatt.
long
ks at
Santa Cruz. Spider Baum, who has
been laid uo with a wrenched.
back since th season opened,
also joined the club here. Baum declares
that he is much improved although he
is still under the care of a physician.
The "spider." as he was formerly
known, lost 12 pounds as a result of
enforced dieting, the instructions being
given by a physician who thought the
pitcher was troubled with rheumatism.
With three such pitchers in shape.
O'Rourke's club ought to make a good
showing. Mahoney's batting will also
be a big factor in winning games for
the heretofore despised Senators.
Rumor of Waivers Denied.
An absurd rumor was started to
the effect that waivers had been
asked on Frank Eastley, Iewis
and Carman. Loiif?. however, put the
quietus on it. At the same time there
is reason to believe that unless Brown
ing and Eastley get Into better shape
there will be some releases fioatiiiK
around. Browning. in particular,
doesn't seem to be able to get started,
and so far has been of little assistance
to his team.
Joe Tobin has been shipped to Ta
coma under an optional agreement. He
is one of the most natural fielders in
the league, but Is hardly hlg enough
to be the hitter that he ouciit or to so
through a heavy season. He may fill
out and if he does, Danny wants him
where he can get him back in a hurry.
Jimmy Whalen. released by Tacoma.
Is back In Sacramento, where he is once
more talking of engaging In business.
It looks for a certainty now as if the
Whale is out of the game for keeps
and will have to settle tipon some other
vocation than playing baseball. As he
Is popular with the Sacramento fans
he ought to do well if he can open up
a cigar stand or something of that kind.
O'Rourke has not as yet released
'Chicken" Farrell or Pitcher Mc-
Leod. He gave out the informa
tion this week that the two
players would probably be farmed out.
As they were sent to Sacramento from
Boston, it is possible that O'Kourke
does not want to take the chance of
giving them unconditional releases as
John I. Taylor may have something else
in view.
Bodie's Hitting Pleases Fans.
When the news came through the
other day that Ping Boilie made a
couple of singles, a double and a triple
In as many times at bat there was a
celebration among the local fans, with
whom Bodie was always a favorite.
That information was followed by the
news that Comlskey had decided to
give Bodie a permanent berth in the
outfield because of his stick work.
I see. though, that when Venn Gregg
had Bodie facing him the other day.
he gave him three low ones and the
ex-Coaster swung his head oft trying
to hit him. Nagle is in another league
but if he were an American League
twirler. he would also be doing things
to the Bodie batting record. Ping has
some weaknesses in the line of batting
and as soon as those big league pitch
ers have figured him out, he will not
be enjoying himself so thoroughly.
Oakland has a new outfielder. His
name is Zacher and he was with the
St. Louis Nationals for a time. How
ever, if Coy, the Vernon discard keeps
up his good work. Zacher may find it
hard to displace him. It seems a cer
tainty that Red Bowser will be re
leased or traded or something. Ho
isn't doing good work with the cluli
and is not strong enough for the
league.
Pernoll looks to be the strongest
pitcher on the Oakland team by far.
He Is pitching consistent ball, and his
batting is a great surprise, for up in
the major league he was hatting minus
nothing. Now he takes a healthy swing
and more than often lands.
Answers to Correspondents
MBTOLIUS. Or.. May 11. (To the
Sporting Editor.) Will you kindly an
swer the following baseball queries in
the columns of The Oregonian?
1 In a game here Sunday a baserunner
overran first base and turntd to the left on
returning to the bag;. He was touched with
the ball on returning to the bag- and called
"out" by the umpire. Is tills correct?
2 With a runner on second base, batter
hits an Infield fly which Is muffed by the
pitcher. Is batsman out on Infteld fly?
3 What haa happened t.i "King" Cole of
the Chicago Cubs. I have not seen where h
has pitched a game this season?
A. Metolius Fan.
Answer 1. Batsman should have been
declared safe unless he made a palpable
move to run to second base. New rules
eliminate necessity of turning to right
after passing first base.
2. Infield fly rule does not apply in
case mentioned and batsman is not
out. However, in the event of first and
second bases being occupied, or first
second and third bases occupied, and
one or none out, he should be declared
out by the umpire the moment the pop
fly is batted.
3. "King" Cole is still with the Chi
cago Cubs but has not been worked be
cause of a sore arm developed in Spring
practice and inclement weather has not
heJoed him recover.
