port unless the committee could show
cause why Professor Durliin should b.

kiokers. The players take advantage Of
him and browbeat for the purpose OF In
huencing his deoisions. The result often
is that an efficient appointeo becomes de-
moralized by excessive badgering. A new
official win also mako use OF his filming
powers more freely than an old one, using
1t generally in self defense.
Ball players after a season or two learn
to respect one of the regulars Of the staff.
It Is said that Honest John Kelly in his
day could "get away with" moro poor do
cisions than any man who ever umpired.
1t Is q fact that players came to have such
faith in his competency that when de-
oisien often appeared bad they concluded
it must bo right because Kelly made it.
Emslie, Hurst and Keefe arc getting
good control Of the kiokers In the big
League, and many of tho latter sneak of
to tho bench under the pressure of few
lowly spoken. good natured, pacific words,
whereas had new umpire been ON duty
tho scene might end in a fine or removal
from tho game. believe Weidinan, tho
new member. was the first to impose q
fine and the first to remove a player from
|. the field.
Unless early Indications go for naught,
the large crop of young blood In the Ma
tional league this year will turn out moro
failures on tho average than ever. In the
first two weeks not one Of tho 80 had made
his calling or election sure, and clubs be-
gan to search the commons for old, turned
out nags IT the diamond, whose days Of
usefulness seemed to DO over. A little
later, after tho sitting process has been
more thorough, there may rise to the sur
face some now timber which will DO strong
enough to repair decayed places In some
Of the League structures. The first young
ster to attract attention is Pond, the Bal
timore's college pitcher. OF course Han
Ion got him. II that man ever falls in q
we'll, he'll find bog of diamonds.
