either puts them out OF the game or treats them
to a verbal roast, which in most cases is eTcc-
tive. He is fearless, and that, perhaps, Is why
ho has trouble now and then. Hurst was um.
piring in Baltimore n couple of years ago. and
tho champions were having a rather hard time
to win. Several OF Hurst's rulings had been in
favor OF the visitors, and the Orioles had kicked
like mules. Finally Jennings rushed 4. from
short field and yelled:
Say, you thick Mick, what do you mean by
rohbing us, chit"
Hurst pulled OF his mask and, taking hold OF
Jennings, said ,oolly:
"Altttle bit swelled up. eh, Mr.. Frccklc-Facei
Made u couple Of good stops, chi And lined out
u couple OF hits. chi Getting a bit chcsty, ELI.
because tho ladies an the grand stand are giving
you the handl You want to make a monkey Of
me, chi Well, get out OF the camel Sect"
Joe Kelley, the left fielder, chimcd in with
some adverse comments, and Hurst turned upon
him quickly with:
80, Mr.. Fresh, you want to talk, because you
are Captain since Robinson Is sick, Ell Think
you're tho whole thing and that the crowd Is
stuck. chi Wcll, you get out of tho game, too"
SEQ here. you monkey" yelled McGraw,
"you cant be putting the whole team out"
Its you. is it," responded Hurst with a
lHukn, anu your ncau ain I any bnluller tnan
last year, CHI Get out, and be quick. You're
effective on the benchl Now. II tho rost OF you
guys don't stop chewing at mo I'll put the whole
gang out Of the game"
Jennings, Kelley. and McGraw, therefore, had
to take their places on the bench.
Tommy Mccarthy will probably never play
ball again. He is running a big billiard hall and
bowling alley in Boston and is making money.
