REASONS FOR RETIREMENT
OF BIG LEAGUE UMPIRES

Legs" or the lack OF sound lower
limbs, has put many a man out of his
world of sport.
Jack Sheridan's legs are having hard
work holding him up.
The veteran umpire isn't troubled
with "piano legs" His underpinnings
are too spindlng to properly support
his bulky body.
SO when he sprlnts around the dia-
mond to get on top Of the play his
legs go back on him.
Jacks legs are not covered with
spavins or ring bones. Nor have any
splints sprung forth from his bones.
His whole difficulty is, he is carry
ing too much weight Unless Jack
joins an anti-fat society and takes rs
pounds of flesh off his trunk he will
have to retire.
Bull" Perrine, another Pacific coast
official will take his place.
Tim Hurst is also suffering from
'qegitis" Tins legs won t tote MIN

ever, h)Never 50 ne viii probably stay

CHICAGO, H.. Aug. 26--That Jimmy

instated by the national commissi IN
after many years. and that the Brook

has become known. and has occasione6
a lively verbal tilt between President
Murphy and Ebbets, OF the Chicago and
Brooklyn clubs.
The Brooklyn magnate would neither
admit nor deny that lie was after Sc
bring. and declined to discuss any act
Of the national commission in advance
But President Murphy stated the belief
confidently that Brooklyn already had
the deal framed up, and that Sebrine
was as good as reinstated. Moreover
he voiced a vigorous protest in antici-
patton of seeing the Chicago club de-
prived of what he considers one of its
valuable assets.
The local clubowner was warm unoer
the collar over the prospect of seeing
another club successful in obtaining
Sebring's reinstatement. after his ow1
numerous failures to secure that re-
suit The Brooklyn club owner con-
tented himself with saying that he
hoped justice would be done the famous
OUTLAW" who had seen nearly every
ether contract jumper in the country
resorted to good favor. except himself
and that il Sebring did become eligible,
the Brooklyn club would pay more for
him than any other club.

which he had borrowed for the occa-
sion. With these simple properties
and much familiar allusion to the elm
ic and the hospitals the detective was
received without question and gather
ed enough evidence to clinch his case.
In pickpocllet cases, however, in
contrast to this, a conspicuous make
up is most likely to be successful. For
such work the detective overdresses.
He selects clothes of very pronounced
color and design and affects fiashy
jewelry and neckwear Curiously
enough, it has been found that the
most conspicuous dress in this work
attracts the least attention. In work
ing on pickpocket cases-"dip" cases
as they are known in the profession
the detective usually works in the
East side cafes in side streets, where
stuss is played and the dip" is likely
to pass his leisure hours.
The detective in his somewhat
flashy clothes poses as man from out
of town with plenty of leisure and
money enough to stand a drink or
play a hand at cards 1t is slow and
delicate work ingratiating himself
with the piclIpocket, naturally an ex
ceedingly suspicious person, but many
dips" are landed in this way. The
same detective in the same makeup
will ride about town for days on the
rear platform of cars watching for
pickpockets.
The makeup of city engineer or sur
veyor is an almost infallible illusion in
certain classes of cases Where it is
necessary to get into a certain ground
or house which is being guarded the
surveyors instrument acts as the open
sesame. Such place may be Jealous
ly guarded against every one, as, for
instance, the newspaper reporter, the

Obliged to leave his office in sole

Nov, my good woman" he said,
indicating the telephone, when you
hear the bell ring attached to that
little box just go to the tube and
shout, 'Halloa,. who are you? and wait
for a reply"
The merchant had been gone an
hour when the bell rang furiously.
The woman rushed to the tube, shout
ed out the necessary query, and put
the receiver to her ear.
I'm Johnson from Dublin" came
the answer Got lot of oil for you,
and wish to send it on at once. Be
ready to receive it"
Presently the merchant returned,
and, to his amazement saw the char
woman holding an empty pail under
the telephone tube. What on earth
are you doing with that pail?" he
asked.
well, SIR she replied, "as soon as
you were gone man shouted through
the tube that he was sending large
supply of oil and asked some one to
receive it, so am holding this bucket

felt that she could be of great use to
her. And she was aware that the
matron Of Lady Lees Nurses" would
make no objection if the usual appli-

such work is that of "bell hop" OF
bell boy. The detective who assumes
such disguise must have slight
figure and youthful appearance,
which lends itself to such a makeup.
In a recent tenderloin hotel case in
which a newspaper man was murdered
detective donned the livery of a
bell boy and ran errands about the
hotel for days while accommodating evil
dence. After a few days he decided
that the elevator man was in a better
position to watch, different floors, and
he thereupon was promoted to the
dignity of elevator man. The quiet,
unobtrusive young man wearing the
hotel livery attracted little attention.
1t seemed perfectly natural that he
should be proving about the various
floors at all hours of the day and
night. At the end of two weeks suffi-
cient evidence had been gathered to
fasten suspicion on the murderer.

MANY WOMEN SPECTATORS
Wall Street Brokers Have Private
Rooms for Them.

Rooms Tor mem.
The number of women spectators
is amazingly large-much larger than
even the ordinary Wall street habitue
would imagine. 1t is not commonly
known, but it is fact that many
brokerage houses maintain private
rooms for their women customers
with more often than not, private en-
frances. There are several reasons
for this One is that many women
who speculate do so secretly, with
out the knowledge of their family,
their relatives or their friends. On
this account they desire privacy, de-
sire to move and have their Wall
street being unknown. Another rea-
son is that the broker himself desires
it, principally, be it confessed, be-
cause he is anxious that if there be
any scenes" they shall be private
ones, far from the madding crowds
ignoble strickland sight. For truth
cOmpels the statement that women
are poorer losers than men. 1t is the
testimony of conservative brokers that
a woman gambler is much more of q
gambler than a man-much more, that
is, in absorbing tenaciousness and al
most vindictiveness. She seems to be
carried out of and beyond herself to a
degree that becomes uncomfortably
disquieting when she loses. Even
when she is winner, and, as | have
said. the proportion of winner to
losers among women is about one to
twenty, there seems to-. be in her
satisfaction a kind of righteousness
that is not good to see.
