the league meets Friday to adopt
the schedule. Mr. Gardner is a
modest gent. He isn't winning the
pennant yet, altho he can't see
why if he won it last year he
shouldn't win It again this year.
Naturally, he doesn't think he was
lucky to win it; he thinks he had
a good ball clyh and a great pitch-
ing staff. that his men hustled all
1 the way and that Carl Williams
is that rather rare combination of
smart ball player and managerial
personality.
“Well, I wouldn't go so far as
as to say we'll split the season,"
said Prexy Gardner this morning,
"but I haven’t seen anybody yet
who isn't in favor of it. We're
unanimous on the point and so
far as I know It is a mere for-
mality to adopt the schedule
which calls for the split season.
“Interest is fairly keen in our

the Cats will come back this yer,
but that's something to worry
about when it comes up. Of
course, much of this sentiment
comes from ths apparently high
class pitching staff La Grave has
gathered because the average fan
never heard of any of the ball
players he has secured for other
positions.
“However, some of the baseball
men seem to see further than the
pitching staff. It is generally
agreed that the Cats have already
garnered some high class baseball
material and of course haven't

a florist shop in Chicago, cater-
ing exclusively to the better and
more discriminating class of gun-
men whose expressiops of mort-
uary grief are such as to make
the business most profitable.
So rapidly are the killings
among Mr. Guthrie’s cllentele
and as a consequence so rushed
is the business that Old Brass
Knocks himself is compelled nt

sounds too much like Masonry.
I don't want anybody taking me

Ultimately Mr. Guthrie accept-

on which was depleted practically
the entire history of baseball in-
cluding the three shut-outs Matty
pitched against the Athletics In
1905 and the failure of Fred
Merkle to touch second base in

It should be admitted that Mr.
Guthrie is quite an umpire. One

However, St. Goddard was
closely pressed by the hero of the

who brought his Alaskan huskies
in at such a rate yesterday that
he moved within 40 seconds of

Comedy Boxing Act is
Arranged As Part of
Friday’s Show i
. .. BY P. O. P.
Announcement by Dick Griffin <
that he had signed up Stinky
Davis to stage his comedy box-
ing act as an extra added attrac-
tion at Friday night's show will
give the fans a smil, for it has
been many a day aince they have
enjoyed anything as much as they
enjoyed Stinky's debut us a pro-
fessional boxer last week.
This young gent again will
take on Kid Bestyett, who was
his opponent on his maiden voy-
age on the cauliflower ocean.
Whether Abie will be his second
or not hasn't been decided.
Able is a well known figure
in sport circles because he has
shagged bats for the Cats since
he was knee high to a grasshop-
per. He was making his initial
appearance in a corner as confi-
dential adviser, rubber, towel
wielder, stool grabber and eti-
quet tutor.
For instance, Stinky got hot!
under the collar in the very first
round and flew into the salad
dressing boy with all he had.
This exhausted his thin supply
of wind and he went to his cor-
ner with his head down. Able'
hopped into the ring and slapped
Stinky upright. Then Stinky

(Scripps-Hownrd leaned Mire to
The Freee.)
NTEW YORK, Feb. 22—Old
IN Brass Knucks is back in the
big top. I am referring obvi-
ously to Mr. William Guthrie who
has just been reappointed to the
American League umpire staff.
Quite a card, this fellow.
Mr. Guthrie was dismissed'from
the league by Ban Johnson sev-
eral years back because he was
deficient in the patrician' ele-
gancies. Which is to say he was
not nice.
Basically Mr. Guthrie is one of
those "Dese and Dem" guys. He
is what you might call hard-boil-
ed. Somehow he did not fit in
with the Johnsonan scheme of
things, which, surprisingly, placed
a high premlun on pollen deport-
ment.
One of the eriticisms against
Mr. Guthrie was his lack of rev-
erence for the demon athletes. To
him they were a lot of bums with
practically no modifications and
seldom was he at a loss for choice
blasphemies in addressing the
young men.
