THE worst day 1 ever had" said Jack
Sheridan, when asked about 1t, was in Chi
cago. I'm glad it was there among friends,
or probably l would have been out of the
business. l have had bad days, but never
one like that, and 1t was along in the fifth
inning that l found out what was the mat
ter.
Il had not been feeling well for several
days and was knocked out with a bad bill
ious attack. Still l was feeling little better
that afternoon and concluded that l would
go out and try TO work anyhow. The trouble
began right at the start. Louie Criger was
catching for Boston, and in the first in
ming, he commenced to protest quietly
against the strikes and balls. The batterS
kicked a bit, too, but l got through the in
ming all right, and called several of them
down for kicking. When Billy Sullivan COM
menced kicking in the second inning knew
j must be bad. Still | was calling them eX-
actly as / saw them. and thought l could
see just as we'll as they could.
THE kicking grew worse and worse. The
crowd, which always has been kind to me-
began roaring. and bowling, and sometimes
laughing. / knew l must be bad, but still
couldn't see why-until the fifth inning,
when Jack Powell made a wild pitch. AS
discovered a flash too late, the ball went
low and behind the batter-and / called it a
strike The crowd simply went wild, and
hOoted me.
You may believe it or not-but l saw
that ball cut the heart of the plate. AS a
afternoon. but was calling balls and strikes
and passing Judgment on black spots that
were forming in front of my eyes a re-
suit of the bilious attack.
After | found out what was the matter I
went back OF the pitcher and judged every
thing by the position of the catcher when
he caught the ball-so | got along better"
II umplred two years after my eyes gave
out and when couldn't see to second from
back of the plate" said Gaffney, the old
liking" but the worst off day l ever had
was while | was good. l never have been
able to account for 1t except on the theory
that ! got started wrong and got to worry

fright. like some new man might have.
1T was In Boston, and / think the Ath-

UMP|RES TELL
ABOUT 0FF-DAYS
Sheridan Says He Mlstook
Spots in His Eyes for
the Ball.
0'Day Describes How He Was
Lucky in Getting Out
of a Fix.
By Hugh S. Fullerton.

There is a rule on the statute books OF
base bail which says that. If the umpire
fails to see a play he must consider the
runner safe. on that basis about half
the base runners would be safe-at least
technically for. as a matter of fact 1t l.
seldom that an umpire actually sees =
pIay-even when he is looking straight
at it. He sees part of the moving pic
ture before him. and by using his eyes
and his ears together judges in the main
correctly. AS matter of fact. deaf
umpire would be handicapped almost as
much as a blind one. No umpire sees the
ball strike the first basemans glove
unless he is out of position. He hears
the ball hit the glove, sees the runners
feet arrive al the base and gives the de-
CiSiun.
Now most umpires will confess that their
decision is made in nine cases out of ten be-
iuIe the play is completed. Watch an UNI
pare hands during a close play at nrSt
base, and almost without exception he geS-
lures his decision before the runner reaches
first, or before the ball lands in the base
man mitt. If something goes wrong. il the
runner slows up suddenly and is out when
he should have been safe, the umpire makes
q bad blunder. lie has judged fraction of
u trice before the accident happened-and
gives the wrong decision.
Yet this system of umpiring is the best.
The man who judges quickly is the best
umpire-and, although he gives the decision
before the play is completed, ne makes
fewer mistakes than the man who waits
too long. The man who delays jumbes his
decisions.
Umpring-as in any other judicial line
Is gift Not one man in thousand can
think quick enough to be good base ball
umpire-and il he can, the chances are that
he lacks the nerve the firmness, or the
temperament that makes good umpire.
Besides. even when a good umpire is found,
he has his bad days-days when he looks
worse than some really incompetent UNI
pires.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-12-02

Every umpire-past and present-has some
town he breads to work in. There towns
in which great umpires are considered
dubs and in which wretched umpres are
called stars. The reason for this is that the
umpire-at some stage of his career-has
had one of his bad days in that town. and
after passing through one really bad day, an
umpire has horror of another. If he Is
sent back to the same town the chances are
that he will be bad there again. In fact
once wrong in a city an umpire never can
do good work until the recollection of his
bad day has passed entirely out of his
mind.
Every umpire, no matter how good has
these off days. when he cannot tell three
base hit from toe spike. and when he
really isn't good judge of fly balls.
Why this is, the umpires themselves sell
dom understand, but after one afternoon.
with the crowd Wild the players angry, and
everything going wrong, when the umpire
knows better than anybody on the grounds
how bad his work is, an umpire wants a
change of air and scene worse than ever a
sick person did.

1.-THE automobile business is yet young,

its future on the whole is bright" a manu-

In spite of the talk about manufacturers
being far ahead. 1t is said the majority are
not yet ready to show their new models
This is especially true of the makers of the
big touring cars which are best known. 1t
is true that the whole industry will be
ready for earlier deliveries. but the fac
tories are not as far ahead of other years
as has been supposed.

Essay on Man.

Man that is born of his parents is of few
days and full of microbes. He goeth to
school when youngster and gets the
seat Of his pants padded for something he
didn't do until hL is sick at heart He
groweth up like weed in back yard,
and soon reaches the age when he is COM
posed largely of feet, freckles and an
appetite for pie. About the time he gets
too long for short trousers and rot long
enough for long ones he goeth away to
college, learneth how to monkey with a
three dollar mandolin and play whiskey
poker. He cometh home bigger fool
than ever and marrieth sweet young
thing whose pa is supposed to be wealthy,
but whom he subsequently ascertaineth,
couldn't buy the prise rooster at county
fair. He worrieth along from year to
year, gradually acquiring offspring until
his house resembles Sunday school
class just before Christmas. He fretteth
through the day and lieth awake nights
trying 20 figure out how to keep himself
and his dependent population out Of the
poor house. Efforts are rewarded by
having his daughters run away and get
married and bring him home nice SON
in law every few days to feast at his
board. His sons grow up and call him
governor and set him back five spot
every day or two. About the time he has
acquired enough lucre to make it worth
while for his heirs to quarrel over. he con-
tracts a cold and is hurried away before
he has time to have talk with his family.
His sons blow in his estate on bad
whiskey and plug hats and his wife puts
the finishing touches to his career by
marrying the hired man.
