Dispatches today from Reno, Nev., where Johnson is making his home. were to the effect that Walter depart- ed on a hunting trip with friends immediately after his arrival “from Oakland and declined to discuss his plans, but intimated he might have something to say on his return Reno. - Stories from other points, notably St. Paul, Minn, are that efforts to bring Johnson there as part owner ond manager are being made by £roup of business men, but all such yarns as these may be discounted. for the simple reason that Johnson would not be free to accept any such offer if it were made under the terms of the understanding he has with the Washington club. Grift Makes It Clear. President Clark Griffith made this clear today when he said that the assurance given Johnson In connec- tion with his contemplated retirement from big league base ball was that he would be given his release oniy in the event that he could satisfac- | torily consummate a deal t enable him to go into himself on the coast, and that the AVashington club under no circ: stances would sanction an ment by wh Johnson merely a manag club in ‘the Pacific circuit or a con- ¥ nection of any kind with a league other than that on the coast In other words, Johnson has not been told that he could consider himself a free agent and 'make any sort of a dicker that he saw fit. ge- fore he left Washington, following the world series, he was assured that the Washington club weuld not stand would became to| al busincss for | m- | arrange- | and pitcher for a | in his way if an opportunity to bet- ter himself was presented, but it was specified that the local owner- ship would not countenance any ar- rangement where Walter merely be working for some one else or where persons other than John- son himself would reap the profit from having a figure of Johnson value as a box-office attraction. It is possible that Johnson yet may be able swing some sort of A deal that will entitle him to re- lease from the Nationals, but unless it is a bona fide proposition along the lines Indicated, Barney next sea- son will troupe around tihe American League circuit as a member of the world champion Griffmen, unless, of course, he decides to retire from the game and devote his attention some Dusiness other than base ball, a contingency that may be regarded as_extremely unlikely. “Johnson promised to let me know how his efforts to buy into a club on the coast panned out” Griffith sald today, “and as yet T have had no word from him. Until I am satisfied that he can make an arrangement to go into business on his own hook aln a member of my team for it, or pitch nowhere.” iterating his denial that Scout gel, who, Incidentally, is a member of the hunting party that ohnson now is with. is empowered o0 offer Johnson a three-vear contract ling for $90,000, Griff today said zel was not authorized to offer | Whalter any kind of terms for contin- | ued servi ith the Nationals, adding at a otiations between the | pltcher “wnd “the Washington club | would be made by Johnson and Griff himself. KENNEL AND FIELD By Mary C. Pope terrier, Newcoin Comixit, has I was a pleasant point and had enter Dr. W. P. Collins, president of the Washington Kennel Club, entertained the club at his beautiful new home on Woodley road, Saturday, Novem- ber 15. Mrs. Collins and Mrs. W. H Manning, ember, zssisted the doctor in the guests and atterward presided over a delicious supper. Mrs. W. H. Manning of Saratoga Springs, N. a Boston terrier fan- cier, has joined local ranks and has brought two very promising females, which will be shown at the Washing ton show. These puppies are out o Sally M., ex-champion Little Tommy Tucker. These pups have a bright future. The Washington Kennel Club has selected Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16, for its show dates and has made application to the Ameri- can Kennel Club for them. The bench show committee at the present time is trying to find a satisfactory place to hold the show. The Coliseum, scene of recent shows, has been ri modeled and is being used as a bowl- ing alley. Mrs. B. B. Thompson, Washington Pekingese enthusiast, has recelved word that Mrs. W. H. Perry of Leominster, Mass., is on her way to California_ with her famous stud, Nanking Lf, and some of his pro- geny to exhibit in the Far West. One of the pups is a sleeve dog of great promise and has been purchased by a Pekingese fancier on the coast. It was only a tempting offer that per- suaded Mrs. Perry to part with the pup. Roy Routt has 2 litter of pupples out of his winning female, Countess D. C. ex King Smoke, Dr. Collins’ new Two of the litter appear to be anding pupples. . Miss M. R. Dingley, owner of the Eidolon Pekingese Kennels, Reg., of Chevy Chase, D, C. has announced the arrival of a splendid litter of three pupples by her imported Ash- ton-More Sam-Su out of Suey Sin Fah, a heavily coated daughter of the late show dog. Medor Shing Su. This litter s interesting from sev- eral angles. Suey Sin Fah is almost blind from an injury received when herself a puppy, but, because of her excellent points and splendid blood lines, the kennels were anxious to perpetuate her kind, and therefore % tempted to breed her. Suey Sin Fan's first ltter by the late Mrs. Halley's ) Pao Lung of Lienrud were whelped prematurely and all died. Fearing some such mishap in the present case, and lest the little mother was un- equal to her task with such a handi- cap, tho kennels advertised widely for a foster mother. While many re- plies were received and much interest was apparent in the case, Suey Sin Fah took matters into her own hands and preferred to have her own babies brought up in her own way. Both she and her typical, unblemished pupples are thriving. A further point of interest to Peke fanciers Is the matter of so-called “color breeding.” Suey Sin Fah's dam was a pure white Pekingese, whelped, however, in a litter of dark reds and sables from dark-colored parents, by name Tim Sun. In breeding Suey Sin Fah to Ashton-More Sam-Su, a black, whose sire was wolf sable and whose dam was red, the Eidolons have two black puppies and a wolf sable, all of which goes to prove there is r‘g such saylug as “color breeding” Pekes. Mrs. R. H. Johnston left today for Jacksonville, Fla, with nine entries for the show which is to be held there this week.

G. SALSINGER. ATER in his career Ty Cobb changed his mind about the L umpires, rather his attitude toward them. He became critical and soon was recognized by them as one of the worst kickers in the league. Also, he criticized them publicly; something he had never permitted himseli to do when at the height of his career. In one of his publicly expressed fons on umplres he sald: y opinion of an ideal umpire is one who has the official attitude. The trouble with the vast majority of umplres is that they lack this at- titude. Some of our well known umpires act as If they wore on the wrong side of the bench. Instead of making decisions on the facts in the case many of them make up their minds regarding a play before it is completed. 1 ask you, ig that & Judicial attitude? “Imagine, If yo# can, a judge an- tagonizing the person that appears before him, or the persons! Some umplires are worst to get along with | than a mother-In-law. Condemns Attitude. “Perhapss you have a legitimate kick on a decislon that is close. Per- haps the umplre even missed the play. But, what do you get? The first thing the umpire says is: *‘G'wan, now, or I'll chase you to the showers if you open that trap of yours once more." “Men under the strain of competi- tion should not and cannot be handled in that manner by umpires or any one_else. “The umplres have taken the fight out of base ball. It is belleved by many that the clubs pay the finess of players, but even if that s true the man on the ficld does not want to | be regarded as a rowdy. “Make the umplres adopt a differ- ent attitude. need to be called on the carpet just the same as any one else. “Any man, whether bricks, working on a on the stage or on the diamond, is {inclined to get into a rut, to drift into Ineficiency. He needs to be pull- ed out of the rut ever so often. It it a mighty hard thing to keep out of the rut by yourself. “Have the man who of the umpires call on the carpet the umplre who is having trouble with the players. Then he can ask him how it comes that he is having trouble so often with Players Smith, Jones and Brown when the other umplres are getting along with them. If the umplre can not explain satis- factorily, then get some one else. Undae Authority. “The umpire should be able to get along as well as the players. He should be able to get along without taking undue authority. The minute some of these umpires get on a blue serge uniform they set out to make themselves felt. They try to show their power. “I don't think that any one pays money at the gate to see any of the umpires perform. If I am not mis- taken, the reason people come to the ball parks is to see the ball players, but when you notice some of these umpires you imagine that all any- body is out at the park for is t> see | them.

The umplre s following the course of least resistance, knowing full wefl that he will be thoroughly raszed if he makes a close dectsion against the home team. “How & man can lower his seif- respect enough to adopt this attitude is beyond me. But unfortunately you can find a few ‘homers’ in every league. Praises For Two. “Jack Sheridan was no homer. Tommy Connolly never was a homer. In fact there are a number of um- pires past and present who stood up and called plays just as they saw them. All umpires tell you lhcf’ all them as they see them put a lot of them do nothing of the kind: they call them the way the crowd wants to see them called. The men that do call plays as they see them wlill be wrong at times in their decisions. It is only natural that they should be wrong at tim But you are al- ways going to have deep respect for them whether or not they happen to be right. “If real base ball is to return, the major league owners must shake up the umplire situation first of ali. you set down the faults of base ball you can use the umpires to head your list and you will not be wrong.' Cobb has ever been a critic. e criticized freely but he rarely gave anything but a constructive criticism. He would pick faults and point them out, but he would suggest a remedy at ‘the same time. Anybody can criticize, but few can criticize con- structively. Bome of Cobb's sugge tions may not have been good, but they were still the best he had and considered by him an improvement over the condition with which he found fault.

SPORTS. - Johnson Likely to Be Back Next Year : Talent Against Raising Player Limit IDLEHOUR BASKETERS |ATHLETES ARE OPPOSED TO PLAN OF THE YANKS : Contend That With Surplus Increased From 40 To 50 Many Deserving Performers Will Have Advancement in Profession Long Delayed. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. N EW YORK, November 24.—Bitter opposition has developed among ball players to the proposal put forward by the New York Ameri- cans for consideration at the major league meetings in December that the player limit be extended to 50 players, instead of 40, in the Spring season and also in the Fall season. The ball players contend that with such a surplus of players a youngster taken in by a major league club can be used in two successive years to pay up base ball debts. He may be good for something, but he may not get a chance to show what he can do. The same xhiné happen now with the pfayer limit at 40, but if the limit goes up to 50, can the layers say 25 players will be at the mercy of every major league club, to Ee sent here and there and never to have any settled base ball future until they have been at least about two years at the disposal of a big league club. The player limit has been a matter of controversy for some time. There are some who think that the greater the number of players under control of the major clubs the less chance that the majors have of falling for lack of reserve strength. Others hold exactly the contrary. HIGH SCHOOLS ROUNDING COURT TEAMS INTO FORM BY ARGYLE FINNEY. EAM play executed with speed will be the goal of the five high school basket ball coaches, who now are getting a line on the_ir basketers in preparation for the scholastic series which will open January 10, with a tilt between Eastern and Central. officials expect to select a court for several days. Game officials will be The school the titular matches within the next named later, Charley Guyon of Eastern planned to call first practice today at 3 o'clock, while' Lynn Woodworth, court mentor of Business, wil| give his tossers the once-over tomorrow at the same hour. Central apparently intends to ge t the jump on its rivals. The Blue and White basketers have ‘been conditioning themselves for the past two weeks. They probably will need a deal of preparation, though, for they will figure in 22 games in what probably {s the toughest schedule among the five contenders. Tech High also got an early start in" the National Guard gymnasium at Fifth and L streets. The Techites were to oppose the Stantons today in the former’s gymnasfum. Coach Ahern of Western hopes to got a more definite line on his prospects next week. Dean. Hale and Desendorf of Cen- tral's five are the only regulars back this season. Harper and Scruggs were graduated. MecDonald, Banta, Boyer and Clayton are expected to fll thelr shoes. The blue and white quint will open its competitive season in a game with the Catholic Unl- versity freshmen December 13 at Brookland. Central's schedule is an | unusually attractive one. It follows: December 13, Catholic_ Unive: men, at Brookland; 20, York Co witite, st York, Pa: 23, Hagerstown. January 1, Alumnt; 10, stern: 13, Busi- pess; 15, Anaapolis flign: 15, Briarly Hall; 20, Tech; 22, Maryland freshmen; 24, West:| Ea 9. Annlzo"l Hight, at f 30, Alexandria Hight: 81, Busines 13, Reading: 24, Among the tossers expacted to re- port to Coach Lynn Woodworth to- morrow are Laefsky, Stewart, Taylor and Silverstone. Capt. Furman is being counted upon heavily. He was one of the outstanding performers in the 1923 series. The business mentor has not a great deal of material from which to develop a first-rate combination this season and will have to step lively to place the Ninth Streeters in the running. All of the hig) ickool coaches will give the two major sport rule much consideration before they make se- lections for thelr first-string quints. Coach Ahearn is up against trouble. He has not yet decided whether to allow Lamar, Dulin, Garber and David to play basket ball or save them for the diamond compalgn. This quartet of youngsters is most efficient in all branches of major high school sports. Should the Western mentor let these four boys indulge in the Winter sport he probably will develop one of the most formidable teams in the series. Under the direction of Coach San- born, the Techites have advanced steadily. Zahn is the only letter player to return, although Connor, Joe Wood, Rosenberg, Hunt, Galotta, Councilor, Perneak, Dickinson, Coons, MeQueen, Corson and Gaffield have tmpressed at practice sessions. Tech has not completed its schedule yet, but several attractive games are pending with out-of-town teams. Coach Charley Guyom is fortunate in having Kessler, Hook and Bennle in the squad this season. These |youngsters distingulshed themselves last Winter, and should repeat again this year. Scruggs, Heeke, Loudon, Madigan, Radice, Nicholson and Burch will strive for positions on the first team. Most of them played with the reserves last year. S DETROIT, November 24.—Derrill Pratt, second baseman for the De- troit American League club, has been given his unconditional release by the club. They argue that the adding of play- ers to those already under the juris- diction of the major league clubs simply adds to the looseness of man- agement and the growing disposition to guess upon the constant placing of players on the fleld, rather than to develop them and increase their ef- clency so they may be relied upon. Old Guard Favors Limit. The old guard of base ball almost without exception declares that the game would be better played and more acceptable to the spectators if the player limit was not to exceed 25 the year round. The newer element in base ball, and that element which is both old and new, and which holds to the theory that the garge has become a show business, is for the control of all the players possible, In order that the younger men may be used for trading purposes or be developed into regulars as the manager sees fit. It is evident that only a part of a squad of 40 or 50 men can be used in a champlonship race, if a manager wishes to be succeseful, so there must be a certain proportion that never will get much benefit because they happen to be connected for the time being with a major league club. Fifty per cent, probably, will go over board annually. John M. Ward. in his day a suc- cessful manager, thinks the presnt- day manager has too many players with whom to juggle. Deplores Lack of Spirit. Dan Brouthers, an old ball player and {n his time the greatest of bats- men, thinks there are too many play- ers to each team and too little spirit to each plaver. He cites the success of the Washington club this year as showing what a small squad can do if it has the spirit to do it. John Morrill, former manager and captain of the old Bostons, in his time one of the best first basemen and always one of the shrewdest of managers, is convinced that base ball suffers from too much substitu- tion and too little development of the playing strength of the different teams. Joe Hornung, left fielder of the old Boston champions, thinks there are 50 many players on a club that they get in each other's way. Some of them are so nervous, fearing they will be replaced by others, that they never give their best because of men- tal disquiet. At least 20 players were sent out in 1924 who were used to pay up base ball debts Instead of cash. In some instances old-timers met that fate, and they are angry, because some of them insist that if they were free agents they could make much better contracts with the minor league clubs, as individuals, than they can make when they are sent to minor league clubs, presum- ably on option, but in reality to make good to the minor club for some other player.
