What Upsets an Umpire.

Umpire Billy Evans broke into ma or
league ball for the first time last season
and for man of his years got away in
good shape.
The most annoying experience I had
during my first year." he said In a tanning
bee. was in Chicago. You know they sell
few seats under the grandstand there be-
hind a netting. One day when things were
half jag secured one of these front posi-
Every time called ball or strike. no mat

said just loud enough for me to hear:
You're liar!'
He started this in the first inning and
kept ii up TIL the game was over. Every
time / said strike" he said: You're a
liar" This got on my nerves and l never
spent such an annoying afternoon in my
life.
"A big, fat policeman stood near the
drunk and every time he passed his liar
remark the copper smiled. The incident
bothered me so that after a few innings I
commenced to think maybe l was calling
them wrong. but the players did not pro-
test and 1 finally finished the game all
right.
mo. it isn't so bad to have them yell In
a loud voice that you are the worst ever. or
to have them throw a few pop bottles be-
cause you can see them coming, but when

"TECHS" SHOWING MEANS
MUCH FOR SCHOOL CREWS

The race between the Props OF George
town and the Technical High School. which
has been officially set for Saturday, May Is,
has been the means OF arous!ng not only
an intense rivalry between the two crews
themselves, but also large interest
throughout the city. The entrance of Tech
into the field Of aQustics has stirred up
the high school lads, and the result OF
this try-out will be watched with more than
the interest that usually follows a minor
event of this sort.
A large number of students graduate from
the local schools every year and take up
collegiate and professional courses at the
universities and colleges where rowing Is
among the sports, and many of them would
all like to get the advantage obtained in
this preliminary work. Therefore the COM
Ing race between the two intersc holaStic
OUTFITS is the object of much interest. This
Is not confined to the 1th street institution
by any means, but il Is felt in all the high
schools OF the city. Should the Tech crew
make anything like a creditable showing
against the Props. or should they come off
the victors, high school rowing will I'M
doubleday become a fixture here. and the
season Of 1908 Will at least two more

games. Nick more than makes up for his
lack of speed and curves by his great field
ing, his accurate control and lis attention
to men on the bases 1t has been the same
for years. Good left-handers who kept the
runners close to first were always winners.
Against that kind Of pitching team is
at q horrible disadvantage You can't steal
bases and the hit-and-run play is easily
broken up When the runners are kept
hugging first force plays at second base oc-
cur with greater frequency and the infield-
ers are given more time to pull off double
plays
when a team can't steal bases 1t isn't
going to win very often, and there are
mighty few runners who can pilfer second
on Altrock. Doc White of the SOX is al
most as good in watching the bases, al
though his throw to first is not as good as
Nicks Where White shines is in his de-
ceptive delivery. He delivers the ball to the
bat very often in such a puZZling manner
that the runner on first is fooled into going
back to that base, expecting throw there
from the pitcher.
Not enough pitchers cultivate that short
throw to first. There are several good left
handlers who watch first closely as AL
trock. but they don't catch the runners off
there. because 1t takes them too long to
throw the ball. If they would shorten up
their throw base runners wouldn't dare take
any bigger lead off them than they do off
Altrock.
