cssTHANKLESS JOB OF UMpIRING.~
nllnrlrnnnru

lIc an honest decision on every play
that occurs during the game, and
can truthully say that umpires rem
der decisions which they think ought
TO govern the play.
There are many tricks tried by play
ers during a game which VIII benent
the team which the players are menu
bers Of one OF these tricks Is for a
baseman to make a blum 70 touch a
wan stealing base, or course the
people In the stands VIII think the base
man did touch the runner, and when
the umpire says safe there Is immedi-
ately a howl from all over the grounds
that would make you think every man
I'm the place was coming out on the
field to lynch you.
THAT IL only one Of the plays whore
the spectators think they are right I'm
denounCing tho umpire when IN reality
they are entirely wrong This talk
about umpirSs holding a grudge against
a player or a manager is absurd I,
for one, have never held a grudge
against player and from what my
brother umpires tell me l can say with
out any fear OF contradiction that they
feel the same way as | do. II an um-
pre- puts O man out OF the game he
does no because the player gets abusive
and uses language which he should not
use. Umpires win not tolerate a play
er who gets abusive and Just TO show
thai some discipline must be shown ola
the ncd we order him out OF the game.
II the umpirea did not check the players
who use abusive language there would
be no need for the National league or
ory other league to appoint umpires.
when a man Is put out OF the game
for kicking that doesn't mean that the
umpire holds q grudgo against him.

never cracked a smile. but called bell

THE BASEBALL SEASON.
II Is Nearly AZ an End What WIN be
Done Next Year,


The salt Lake baseball team viii
play a series Of six games with Spokane
and with Boise, after which the team
will beshome for weeks struggle with
Butte and then--good- baseball for
the year one more week at home and
the season for the Pacific National
league VIII be closed.
Has the season been successful2
In some respects 1t has, but I'm others
It has not Financially It has not been
a bowling success. but some of the best
games ever seen on western diamond
have been played I'm the =. N. L., and
Salt Lake has had her share Of them,
Honest John McCloskey's bunch Of
Boise Babies will undoubtedly pun
down the rag we call pennant. Spokane
viii get second choice, Butte third and
Salt Lake first--from the zero mark.
But that was 10 be expected, since
the first rumblings of internal trouble
with the team Apparently 'Se started
of all right, but the good start awaited
nothing. one day the team played like
n club OF champions, The next day,
and for several days after, like a gang
OF old Cripples. Jealousy, knocking, In
difference and disobedlence was the
cause. Some members OF the team
wanted TO be captain; others wanted
TO be manager and others wanted
something but didn't know what they
wanted.
Result Last place as usual.
Can anybody explain what license a
crowd like Wilmot has should beat our
team to fragile? Had the home team
played together as McCloskey's bunch
has played, there is no earthly reason
why the pcnngnt should not float I'm
Salt Lake. The statement may sound
foolish TO some, but It's the truth just
the same,
What about next year? VIII we have
n team then? VIII the y. N. be In eX-
istence2 We sincerely hope so. and
also that this town will have team
composed of men who can and will
play ball and pull us out Of the rut.
There have been a good many rumors
of late on the coast TO the effect that
the Pacific National league has seen its
last year Of life, and that the best towns
would be gobbled up by the Pacific
Coast organization This because "
was said that williams wanted TO sell
Spokane to the coast people because
Butte. Boise and Salt Lake have been
at the point of dissolution on more than
one occasion. But there Is no need OF
this IL the game is handled properly.
There Is no reason why the league
should not be 100 per cent better next
yoar than Il has ever been II the game
is managed properly II win prosper The
