' C—2 Two Ump HARRIDGE RETICENT N REGARD 10 PAR Moriarty Now Appears Safe. Guthrie Indicates That He May Be One. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, February 3.—The ‘ sad news soon will be on its way to a couple of American League umpires. Twelve blue coats now are on the league's reserve list and since only 10 are to be employed for the sea- son, Willlam Harridge must sever the ties that bind two of them. 8o far he has given no inkling of the ones to feel the painful oper- atlon, but there are numerous sur- mises. I read that William Guthrie has ap- plied for a job of umpiring in the Pacific Coast League, where he has worked in the past and, if that is true, the “Big Bull" must be one who is leaving the majors. That would be too bad ii true, for Guthrie ws ol e co! S lin, Tim Hurst and Jack Sh than ordinary officials in younger and more 10bus. days. UTHRIE was a bit rough in his re- partee at times, but he was a good umpire and seldom had trou- ble with the players. However, he might have offended the sensibilities of some club owner. The other umpire slated for release is said to be an old-timer, and he 1s not George Moriarty. After “Mory's” battle with the White Sox in Cleveland last Summer it was thought his days in the American League were num- bered. But George has been iecturing to high school pupils this Winter under the auspices of the American Leegue, and that would not indicate trouble with his employers. The release of two veterans from the American League staff will provide op- ortunity for Louis Kolls and Willlam mmers, who were purchased from the International League last Fall. These two are in their 30s and were rated as first-class judges of play. They Wwere purchased on a trial basis and the | American League must have faith in | their abilities if two veterans are to be | given their release. i The American League roster of um- es includes Bill Dineen, Dick Nallin, mrence Owens, George Moriarity, Roy Van Graflan, William McGowan, Harry gflm:l. George Hildebrand, Emmet sby. Louis Kolls, William Summers and Willlam Guthrie. Tomy Connolly continues as umpire in chief and aide to President Harridge. R. TULLEY KNOWLES, president of the College of the Pacific, is in | Chicago, presumably to imterview | Amos Alonzo Stagg. The “old man.” | who completes his 41 years of labor at the University of Chicago in June, is | faid_to be headed for the College of the Pacific as head foot ball coach and director of athletics at a salary equal to that paid him by the Maroons. | College of the Pacific is located at 8tockton, Calif,, and has a study body of some -1,000. It has played only a minor role in-California athletics, and the advent of Mr. Stagg would do much ‘mcrem its reputation and perhaps caliber of its foot ball teams.

Last year, however, he slumped, failed | to finish the season as a regular, and yesterday was given his unconditional release as & 10-year man. It was re- ported that Cleveland and Philadelphia were interested in him. Blue's first season as s regular in the American League was 1921 with Detroit. He made good with a bang and for the next four seasons ranked as a star, but in December, 1927, was traded with Heinie Manush to the Browns for Chick Galloway, Elam Van Gilder and Harry Rice. was let g0 by the Browns for the walhwr price after & poor season in 1930.
