UMPIREs HAVE ONE FRIEND.
Letter from "A Fan" w no Is Somew hat
Ont of the Ordinary Run

Letter from IA Fan" w no Is Some w hat
Out OF the Ordinary Run.
Editor Times: There is evidently a de-
termination on the part of several people
connected with baseball to make it un-
pleasant for certain members of the pres
ent staff of League umpires. hoping that in
the end their unwarranted attacks and
criticisms might result in the transfer
OF several Eastern League umpires to
the National League.
Considerable dissatisfaction emanates, as
usual, from the managers and players of
losing clubs, who, in lieu of professional
ability, fall back as a last resort upon
the old threadbare excuse which, | am
sorry to say, is too familiar TO Washington
rooters.
Numerous attacks have been made on
the ability of Umpire Belts, which, 10
me, appear without justification.
Won Der Abe was very Well satisfied
until st. Louis began to lose and Miller
fined for kicking. Immediately his mind
underwent change, and the unoffending
umpire was blamed, he hoping by this
subterfuge to fool the st. Louis public
as TO the real cause of defeat.
Belts umpired good ball in Cleveland
until that fatal day when a despised tail
ender won game from them By reason
of superior batting. 1t was during this
series that Mcguire was fined Imme-
diately the Cleveland scribes were at
tackled with a spasm OF virtue, and, mag
unanimously espousing the cause of Wash
ington, they tried to get even for Cleve-
lands defeat.
Belts was accused of defeating New York
at Pittsburg yet the New York World, in
commenting on the game, said: Had they,
the New YOrkg DlaVpd better hall and in
dulged In less kicking, they might have
won"
II certainly affords the umpires no sat
isfaction to fine rebellious players; the
maguates themselves saw necessity for
such action, and legislated accordingly,
therefore it is compulsiou and not choice.
Should an umprte be mistaken in bis judg-
meut, as frequently happens, he is roundly
abused for it, yet day after day we see
players with one or two errors, sometimes
more. Is not an umpire as likely TO
make mistakes as player? He officiates
in every play; player is only a fraction of
the many plays.
? II is an everyday occurrence to see
player who, for some reason or other, is
unable to bat; he knows full well he cannot
connect with the ball. so he resorts TO the
old trick OF throwing down his bat in dis
gust when the umpire rightly calls a strike
on him; his actions attract crowd, and
the old trick is again successful, the um-
pire is rotten
The umpires certainly have a right to
earn living and to my mind they earn it
at the sacrifice of happiness and comfort,
therefore II is wrong TO take advantage
of slight mishap All clubs are the same
TO them, as under the rules they can only de-
eide plays as they zee them, and very few
are gifted with clairvoyaut powers.

cision. After considerable discussion
among themselves, the decision was an
by the teacher and chairman,

married are trying to make reparation
so far as it is possible for past wrong
doing and living.
All OF those who applied were happily
welded, with the exception of one fellow,
whose lady love was suddenly called out
