Occasionally, while watching a ball
game in the leagues, you will see an
umpire suddenly grow angry. and fire
player out of the game. AS far as
can be seen from the stands the player
simply has been arguing quietly, and
the punishment appears too severe. If
the people in the stands could hear
those conversations between the play
ers and the umpire they wouldn't blame
the official. Rather, they would won
der that he didn't poke the player in
the nose.
1t is Impossible to print even small
percentage of what is said to umpires
by bali players in the heat of battle,
seldom fires a player out when he gets
abusive or profane The player who
low. who hits at the weak spots. and
does it maliciously. # the umpire sees sees
per 1t amuses him and hee pays little
attention to what is said. The saR-
castle boy gets It.

BRITT AND CANS sign

of the gross receipts and Jack Gleason
offers IS per cent, with a guarantee that
the amount from Reno. New, offered a
flat purse of $4,000. Bids will be con-
sidered on wednesday night and the pro-
moter will be decided upon. The men will
weigh d9S pounds stripped at the ring
side. Both sides have posted forfets. In
the event Cans is defeated by Burns at
Los Angeles he must forfeit $500 TO Britt
and the match will be Cancelled. The ar
ticles leave a blank number of rounds.
Forfeits Of $500 each must be posted.
The rehabilitation of Britt has stirred
fight fans here, but there are few who
firmly believed that Jimmy can take the
measure of the colored fighter. Cans is so
much the superior to any man in his class
that il would be hard for a close student
of the game to predict defeat for him
That the fight would draw well is no
doubt. but as a betting proposition 1t
would be poor.

ing the official. "Cheap $40 a month
skate" has been hurled at almost all of
them. Ball players don't know what sal
aries umplres get, but regard them as un-
derpaid and cheap labor Another favor
ite way of going at the umpire is to cast
insldious ASPIRATIONS on his eyesight. In
game in the White Sox park recently
Jiggs Donohue slid to second and was
called out by Sheridan. Jiggs thought he
was safe-so, for "A few moments his
friendship for Sheridan ceased. "Why, +"
