agree with an umpire on a decision, al
though they fully one hundred feet
further away from the play than the arbi-
traitor. Umpire Conner has lots to learn,
but he did splendid work here on his last
trip and should be encouraged. He Is GER
tainly honest and gives plays as he sees
them. Remember that 1t is harder to get
a good umpire than frst-class ball player.
Case Patten pitched wonderful game
for eight innings, Stone and Roth being
about the only Brown Legs to gauge the
swift down shoot properly. In the eighth

eyes says Harry Bay. at seems to slim
ulate them to hear Larry around. whether
he plays or not, and l would venture to
say that the team would have won fewer
games since he has been out of harness had
he not come over to the grounds to watch
them play. 1t brings confidence to have the
mas acroy. az
