PROFESSOR AS
AN UMPIRE

you can rave about your Klems,
Johnstones, O'Days and S~heridans,
but | saw an arbitrator at work in a
college game down in San Antonio
last spring that beat anything that
ever preceded or succeeded in the
umpire line" remarked Charles Nc
Farland, of Chicago.
"The game was between two high
school teams. The rivalry was IN
tense. They wanted me to serve as
umpire, but the principal Of one of
the schools objected, saying that |
was a professional, and he didn't
want to run the risk of having any
of his boys lose their amateur stand
ing through playing in a game l ran.
There was a long pow-wow held
over who should umpire. Finally the
principal, who objected to me, said
he would oficiate. He excused him
self long enough to hurry to the
school house. When he returned he
had a fat, square package sticking un'
her his arm.
He was so green on base ball that
he didn't know where to stand. They
were going to station him behind the
bat, but they thought that would be
too much of a shame. so they walked
him out behind the pitcher. The
learned one all the time. carried the
bundle about with him. When in pc
sition to start the game he opened
the parcel. 1t contained a quire Of
