they are needed In the business. Cleve-
land, New York and Pittsburg may not
need them, but other clubs do. This Is es-
pecially true OF Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Brooklyn and Washington.
The excitement which comes from tho
great National league championship race
makes President Young's task OF supply
ing competent umpires a very hard and
trying one. He has been experimenting
all season In an effort TO find a few Ems
lies, McQuaids or Lynches, but failure aft
or failure has met him In this work. Belts,
Campbell, Calvin and Tuthill have drop
ped from the list, and othors are officiating
whose sole duty In life it seems Is to call
down the anathemas OF rooters wherever
they are assigned TO umpire.
Mr. Young has long since learned that
umpires do not grow on bushes nor Is the
art of umpiring drug In the sporting
market. 1t looks as easy as rolling of a
log, and many are the men who learned
differently whom they tried 1t. Emslie and
Keefe Of all the present League staff have
given satisfaction this year to the teams
and spectators generally, but oven they
have not escaped scot free.
1t is a notable fact that the majority OF
this years umpires In the League have
been pitchers al some time In their profess
sional life. Emslie, Koefe, Calvin and
O'Day are the prominent examples OF the
theory that pitcher should make good
umpire. Snyder was catcher. So was
"Honest" John Kelley. Ferguson was an
infielder, and believe Lynch never played
a professional game in his life. One OF
the best "nnds" Mr.. Young ever made
was Stage, the professional sprinter OF
| Cleveland, who served part OF last season
| His work was excellent, and general regre'
| followed his resignation on account OF Ill
ness.
The National league magnates believed
after their legislation last spring that the,
had solved tho umpire question and ha'
hit upon ruios which would suppress OK
cessive kicking on the ballneld. They nov
| find that the question Is as far from belnl
solved as ever. Tho SYSTEM Of lines whicl
was adopted at the spring meeting VII
not answer Umpires recognize them a
excessive and refuse, except in rare cases
to inflict them Players soon realized thl
weakness in tho code and have taken ad
vantage Of it. In my opinion the only wa

field As 10 prohibit all questioning OF um

and leyeled IL at the officer. The candy
was wrapped with tinfoil and looked like

there was a unanimous desire among the

'You are under arrestl" and led him ou'

Every year there arises discussion over
the merits or demerits of playing managers
Of ball teams The question OF course has
Its two sides, and each sido has its.warm
advocates. Therefore IL Is by no means
settled In the baseball public's mind that
club is better of to hayo Its manager

and New York have managers who are no.

clubs employ managers who never put on
"a uniform unless I'm ono or two instances.
ms Irwin Of philadelphia, McCloskey OF
Louisville and Foutz of Brooklyn, whom
the uniform is donned to permit the man
ager TO coach.
Last year Anson began the season as
manager by sitting ON the bench In citizen
dress. It didn't work well In his case, and
not till he took up his knsekerbockers and
went back upon the nine did he succeed In
impressing his players with his strong per-
sonality. presume, after all, IL Is not SO
much question of playing or not playing
as 10 Is of the mans adaptation. Men like
Anson, Doyle Teboau aud Ewing VIII do
better by taking part In each game and
participating In the work of the team, be
IL good, bad or Indifferent. But the Han
Ions, Seelos and Schmelzcs arc not built
for effective service In uniform.
Next to Anson the most successful man
agor among those who play on their nines
is Captain Oliver Tebeau Of Cleveland,
more familiarly known as Patsy. Exactly
where his success lies Is hard 10 decide. lie
Is, however, what Is called IA fighter. When
It comes 10 that quality, Anson must rank
below him. The nearest rival he has In
his peculiar methods Is Manager Doyle OF
New York, who, believe, nc one time,
was Tebeau's pupil. Patsy can heap more
misery upon an umpires life In one after
noon perhaps than any man who evei
managed ball team. He Is the umpire
beto noire With him kicking Is profos
sional life, and when he does kick at do
cision it Is no half hearted affair, but II
full OF his whole soul. On such occasion
Mr. Tebeau's language Is not always pure
simple and sweet. Indeed he has the rep
utation of being able 10 express himself OF
such occasion with moro force than ele

This season he has been particularly un

TRAGEDY AT new Orleans
Two Physicians Fire at Each Other
with Deadly Effect.
AN ERRING WOMAN IN THE CASE
DIR. Samuel y. Swain Finds Ills Wife In
Compromising Position with
DIR. Emile IIirnr and
Deadly Duel Results.

New Orleans, May 5-A fearful trag-
edy was committed here today. An
injured husband caught his erring wife
In bed with a man. simultaneously the
men drew pistols n number of shots
were exchanged, and in a minute one
man lay on the bed gasplng from NOR
tai wounds, and the other was on his
way to the police station in charge OF
an officer. The woman in the case was
not hurt The three actors in the
tragedy We're DIR. Samuel i. Swain
and wife, and DR.. Emile Hirart, all Of
PIaquemine, La. DR.. Hirart and Mrs.
Swain arrived here on Friday and reg
istcrcd at Il house on Liberty street as
G. j. Smith and wife. They remained
in their room, scarcely leaving 1t for
longer than haIf an hour at a time.
This morning, DR.. Swain, who had
followed his wife and her lover, en-
tered the place by side door and made
his way to the room occupied by the
pair. He drew his pistol and fired five
shots, while the man who was killed
fired six shots. none Of them hitting DR..
Swain. The latter Immediately ran out
Of the house right into the arms Of q
policeman. The doctor was placed un-
der arrest and taken to the police sta
ton. The police sergeant then quickly
went to the scene of the shooting to as
certain the extent of the wounded
mans injuries. When the sergeant
reached the place the man was still
alive and q physician, who was called
in as soon as possible, was attending
him. The physician said that the case
was hopeless, and while he was talking
the man expired.
Woman Was Very Cool.
The woman who was the cause of the
trouble was seated by the bed where
the wounded man lay. She was fully
dressed and was remarkably cool. She
said she was Mrs. S. j. Swain, but
would not state whether or not the man
who did the killing was her husband
and refused to give the name of the
dead man. All she would say was that
he was a deserter and came from one of
the parishes She demanded to be taken
to the police station at once. She was
taken there but resolutely refused to
say anything, except that she would
speak in court only. She was held as
material witness.
From DIR. Swain it was learned that
the intimacy between Mrs Swain and
the dead man was of long standing,
and he told an interesting story of his
troubles. He said that about two
months ago. in Iberville parish, he and
DR.. Harart met on the public road and
had a shooting affray in which neither
was hurt. Dr. Swain expressed pleas
ure when informed that his man was
dead. The woman in the case is per-
haps &c years of age, and by no means
attractive. At the head of the bed in
which the man was killed. was book.
