SHERIDAN TELLS
Of UMP|R|NC
BASEBALL CROWDS SEE BUT
ONE TEAM
Does Not Bewail Position, as He Be.
leves That Indicator Man Will
Ever Receive Bad Deal
from Spectators

Jack Sheridan, considered by many
the greatest umpire in the country,
takes the trials of his position philoso-
phically. Discussing his work on the
field recently, Sheridan said:
Did you ever stop to think that the
umpire never, by any chance, gets any
applause, so that in the course of time
he is bound to accept the groans and
howlings of the crowds as something
only natural? Every umpire must be
roasted. That follows, as a matter of
course. 1t is part of his game. There
never lived, there never will live, a
man who could act as a baseball UNI
pire and escape the scorching of the
crowds.
II used to take that scorching tc
heart good deal when l first got into
the game. ia Worry about it. I'd
gloom around my hotel after the game
and sort of humble on it mentally, and
I'd even take it to bed with me and
allow myself to be worried by it through
the night. Some of the maledictions
heaved at me bv frenzied cranks would
stick in me like knives, and I'd feel
sorry for myself and sympathize with
my condition in life-the last weak
ness of man bent upon making fool
of himself, 1t took me a long time to
overcome all of that sort of thing.
my way of overcoming it was by
reasoning it out. / isn't in the nature
OF crowds to be wholly fair when there
assembled in great numbers. Crowds,
as crowds, are bound to take only the
one end. They can only see the one
side. You nut have noticed, in at
tending political debates, in which the
takers for each side have the platform
for specified lengths of time. that few,
II any of the partisans Of the one side
are won over by the arguments of the
speakers for the other side, no matter
how good those arguments may actually
be. They're not there to be won over
That's the way 1t is with a game
of ball. The folks are partisans
| They're there to see their team win
They mean to be fair, and for the most
part they think they are, but they really
don't think much about that end of II
at all.
when they get the worst of a close
decision the flame OF partisanship burns
in them. Their vision is distorted
The excitement of the moment makes
them take an oblique view. 1t would be
idiotic to expect them all to be per-
fectly just at points of a Rame when
good deal depends upon decision
and the decision is against them. II
| isn't human nature.
"There is everything on earth to be
said I'm extenuation of the conduct OF
crowds toward umpires. For one thing
they can't see, I'm one case out Of
twenty the exact angle OF plays about
which they complain.
Their natural instinct Is to see II
according to the ay they want It to
break. and that's the way they do see

SANTA BARBARA AND
SAN JOSE PLAY TIE
BY Associated Press.

SANTA BARBARA. Dec. ia
sensational game between Santa Bar
bara and the San Jose state league team
was called by Umpire Berry at the end
of the ninth inning on account of dark
ness, neither side having been able to
bring man over the plate. Vickers
was invincible, only one of the visitors
going as far as third. VOTERS and Ar
ellanes pitched shutout ball, and only
four locals got to first.
Hal Chase sprung some sensational
fielding. The game was scrappy, aud
Berry had hard time with all the play
ers. The score:
santa Barbara 0, hits 3, errors /.
4 San Jose 0. hits 4, errors 0.

WOMAN FEARS HER
HUSBAND IS DEAD
SPELLING OF NAME CAUSED
QUARREL
Little Wife Believes Man Has Carried
Out His Threat of Suicide
Made Over the Tel
ephone

A fearful, frightened woman went to
the central police station last night and
begged that her husband, F. C. Nelson
15N Beaudry avenue, who she said she
feared had committed suicide sometime
yesterday.
Mrs Nelson said that she and her
husband had had a quarrel Friday
night, and he had left her yesterday
morning in a had temper. The quarrel
was started because Mrs. Nelson
learned through a letter from her hus-
bands father that he spelled his name
differently than his son, and she eX-
pressed her suspicious that Nelson was
trying to deceive her. Mr. Nelson's
father spells his name Nelson, but the
son claims that this is simply a peculi-
arity in his fathers handwriting.
Nelson is said to have telephoned to
his wife's sister, Mrs. May Latham, 1712
Morton avenue, yesterday afternoon,
and requested her to do all that she
could toward improving the feeling be-
tween himself and wife.
IF Nellie does not change her atti-
tude toward me- and show that she
loves me-" he said in conclusion, II
shall end my life before the day is
over"
This is the last that either the wife
or the sister-in-law has heard from Nell
son, and both are filled with the fear
that he has killed himself.
Were Recently Married
Mrs. Nelson and her husband have
only been married a short time, and
she says that they have never had any
trouble before. So affectionate have
their relations been that the little wo-
man seemed to consider the fact that
her husband had not been home all day
a bitter tragedy.
He has always dropped in to see me
at least once during each day, and he
has called me up on the phone to know
how was every now and then while he
was at work. 1t is because knew he
loved me so much that 1 fear he has
carried out his treat to kill himself"
Mrs. Nelson does not know where her
husband went when he left the house
and he did not tell Mrs. Latham. The
conversation over the telephone was
very brief and he hung up the receiver
as soon as he had delivered the grue-
some warning that he intended to COM
NIT suicide unless his wife repented.
Mr.. Nelson has not been employed In
Los Angeles, having come here only
three days ago from Redondo. At that
place he worked as a photographer in a
small shop.
He Is described as a tall we'll built
man, dark, with black hair and brown
eyes. He Is OF medium weight, smooth
shaver, and when he left home wore a
dark suit of clothes.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians. suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prOstration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their eaSy-g0ing
and Indifferent, or over-bnsy doctor, sep
erate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them TO be such, prescrlbes his
pills and pOtions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant OF the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prae-
tice until large bills are made. The sur
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason OF the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's ta-
vOrite Prescription, directed 10 the cause

symptoms, aud instituting comfort in
