A BASEBALL UMPIRE's LIFE,
Six Days in Harness, as Described
III His Diary


The umpire thought that a diary of
his routine would be pleasant to read
in after years, according TO the Buffalo
Evening News. So he started in anu
kept it up for six days. which is four
days longer than the average life OF q
diary. Here are the extracts:
"Monday-Gct along pretty well to-
day Capt. Soaker called me liar, but
I pretended not To hear. I'll fix bini
later on Larry Gahan shook his fist
under my nose on Il close decision in
the third. and he'll get the benefit of no
close decisions from me- As l was GO
ing out OF the gate q hoodlum struck at
me with a scantling, but l saw him in
time TO dodge.
''Tuesday-Hot day? oh, no. Half
the game / had uoth mines around me
four deep. The balance Of the time
was lodging souvenirs from the audi
ence In the sixth inning there was a
rush for me from the right field bleach
ers, but the police stopped 'em in time I
have only words Of pi aise for the officers
They saw that the home club still had
an even chance Of winning, and they
didn't want the game interrupted. In
the seventh Pete Husky struck at me-
but ducked. and the blow took Catch
er Feeney square in the ear. He told
me | lodged on purpose, and we had
quite a pow-wow. Finally / sent him
to the bench.
Wednesday, told the police this
afternoon if they didn't stop the audi>
ence from throwing beer bottles and
cigar boxes and shoe brushes at me L
would give the game TO the other
team They said they'd try to persuade
the BOYS not 10 throw the things until
after the game was over. Toward the
end of the ninth l stood as far back
of the catcher as ] could. and when the
last man was cut I ran for my life
and the street car. As / darted
through the door l heard the beer bot
ties crashing against the fence.
'Thursday-Thisw was . red letter day
for me. Only oDe rumpus spoiled an
otherwise clean record. Fergy Mcclure
was a little too fresh in the second, and
/ sent him TO the bench. He tried an
upper cut on me and ] landed hin!
With left nook He didn't go to the
bench. They brought the bench to
him.
'.Friday-It rained to-day Thank
heaven
'Saturday-It took seventeen police,
men and a patrol wagon TO save me
this afternoon. The trouble commenced
when 1 declared Finigan out in tho
fourth The crowd mentioned me as &
'robber' sixteen minutes without ces-
sation. In the sixth, when ] called
Mugsy Swipes safe on second, the audi
ence finally broke loose. Men s~ore,
women tainted and dogs barked. The
crowd swarmed on to the field. and
backed away. surrounded by the o1ii-
GERS. They ran in the patrol wagon,
chucked me into it. and then the whole
outfit raced around the field three
times, with the crowd in pursuit II
was like one of those russian races
between sleigh and a pack OF wolves
/ lost my hat, had my coat torn off, one
of my eyes is closed, and pop bottle
lamed my left knee. Finally we got
through the gateway, and the crowd
ran us all the way back to the hotel.
L wonder what will happen next week?'

SUNDAY CLCLlNG.
Opinion OF Church Periodicai
Quoted in Justification.

OuotPl i'll -1ustifitfttlou
The Sunday cycling question rs heihe
discussed exhaustively in the lea"iiS
church periodicals throughout the country.
Many of the papers have Neered ABOUT
changed their policy, and now rather
approve OF the idea TO certain eN-
tent. The Church, a Boston Journal
saws:
'.The hicycle has bee, declared the
source of injury to many good trades
and causes. IL has been claimed that
it has dee rea sed the sales OF oil paint
ines and shoes, hothouse flowers and
dressgoods groceries and theater tickets
II has broken up meetings in the interest
OF philant hropic endeavor, decreased the
attendance at lectures, and finally dimin-
jshed the congregations in the churches.
There is trut h in some of these state
nents. and much ina gination in many
of them. If there are any who find
that bicycle hiding is interfering with
their participant tion in The worship OF the
church on the Lords Day, they should
look to it. They are, perha ps, imperiling
AN eternal heritage for temporary gains
or pleasures There is tine enough in
life for proportionate living, and place
1DI lDth NAttlAlie dil0 plShiP-
The church likewise should look to 1t
that IL nlaEes provision for the needs OF
all and stands open where bicyelsts can
enter, and breaches TO men awheel- But
what must be remembered in fairness and
emphasized is what the church gains from
the bicycle. A an annihilator of all dis
tances it is lessening the dis; ance To church
from homes whose reIuoteness has been a
burden. As an imnrover OF roads il is
betterng the roads that lead TO the house
of God. as n promoter OF simplicity OF
living and out Of door naturaln sSs IL is re-
lleving the approaches TO worship of some
of the conventionalties of dress and out
ward ceremonial. A time when the
church is making effort in many directions
TO cast aside traditional observances, and
find men, by every means, where they are.
a movement from the other side that tends
To bring men as they are to church should
be welcomed and encouraged. A bicycle
suit in pew is a wholesome and welcome
sign. II means that simplicity and that
reasonableness in dress everywhere which
have kiHshlp TO true religion, and il means
further that men, out Of their work and ont
OF their play, are finding immediate access
10 worship: that another step is taken
toward the more perfect union of the
church with the actual every day lives of
men,

Gus Rubin are not as bright they We're
few weeks ago. Billy Madden's state
luent to the effect that the sporting men
OF Hot Springs would offer a purse of
$4,000 for Rubin and Maher to fight
to finish for, was evidently manufactured
by him for the purpose of booming his
new champion and putt ing him in the same
line with Maher and other good heavy
weights 4 few days ago Capt. Harry
Price, a prominent sporting man in Hot
Springs, and who is one OF the party willing
TO give purse for Maher and Rubin. went
10 Pittsburg for the purpose of getting
Peter Ia sign articles. Price saw Quinn,
manager for Maher. But when Price
said he was only authorized to offer
purse OF $4,000, Quinn said that he had
been told that they would give $4,000
for the bout. If Price could not afford
to give that amount, Maher would fight
Rubin for a purse of 81 900, but no less.
Price said he would call meeting of the
people who are behind him in Hot Springs
when he reached there, and IL they thought
the bout was worth $1,000, they would
sign the men as soon as possible the fight
to take place at Wilmington Park, in Hot
Springs. early in March.
