FORMER CAToHERs AS UNIPIREs.
sIron Man. McGinnity Says They Are
Best Judges of Balls and Strikes.

New York, May 25.-Joe McGin-
nifty, the clever twirler of the New
York Giants, has found the solution
of the umpire problem, at least that
portion of it relating to the calling of
balls and strikes.
There is nothing that makes a
pitcher lose confidence in himself as
quickly as does the miscalling of balls
and strikes by the umpire said Nc
Ginnity. ct have seen the coolest and
steadiest pitchers in the business put
into the air by poor umpiring, and
there is not a time when the best
twirler in the business can stand up
under the handicap of getting the
worst of it on balls and strikes.
Il believe the presidents of the vari-
of the competency of Umpires by ap-
pointing none but ex-catchers to the
positions of judges of balls and strikes.
The reason of this is quite simple
Take the general run of umpires, and
they know nothing of the work behind
the bat They are afraid of every ball
that is pitched and invariably duck
their heads or close their eyes Just
before the ball reaches the plate In
this way they miss many a strike that
takes a quick shoot over the plate
If catchers only were placed in the
position of judging balls and strikes
this trouble would not occur. They
are so accustomed to keeping their
eyes open all the time that the ap-
preach of the ball would not cause
them to finch, and so they would call
every ball pitched properly. Charlie

Pittsburgs, and who last season was

We're made to outline the pro-
cedure of the game. Here are. how
ever, a few things that the Saints did:
Made three two-baggers and two
singles in the first inning, bringing in
five runs. The whole team batted
around just once in this act.
Sister knocked a. home run in the
second inning with two men out and
no one on the bases. The ball which
he picked out for this smash was a
slow out-drop after which ne had to
walk in order to make connections.
Olson hit a liner to third baseman,
Durand of Pittsburg, in the fourth in
ming, which the latter just side-stepped
and let go into the field with a passing
remark: with my regards 1t was
too hot, and Olson made second base.
Armstrong whipped one out for three
bases in the fourth inning, the longest
nit he has made this season.
