ONE UMPIRE GETS
100000 CHANCES

The work of the major league UNI
pire is appreciated by figuring the
number of decisions made in a year.
There are ffty-four putouts in each
game that runs nine innings. There are
on an average of $50 games per team
per season. Four times that makes
1920 putouts per season. Figure in
some ten plays per game in which a
base-hit is either safe or foul, attempt
ed steals that work and you have 5000
more chances for the umpire. Then
there are possibly 10000 balls and
strike decisions in the league per sea-
son. The umpires have to see all those.
Maybe altogether there are 100000 de-
cisions per season to make. That is
a low estimate.
The umpire has to get all those. IF
he misses two or three per week he is
a dub If he sees them all correctly
he is doing just what the fans think
he is paid for. One umpire has more
chances to err per game than all the
players ON both teams participating. Is
it any wonder that Ban johnson wants
two arbitrator for each game next sea-
son?
1t looks soft TO see a man go out and
collect at least $4,000 per six months
for umpiring, but when the work in
volved is considered the official labors
about as hard as any player, says a
Cleveland writer. Besides calling plays
be must control the players and at
least partially satisfy the fanatics who,
of course, are prejudiced against the
close ones given in favor of the visit
ing team.

Poem written in honor of the Santa
Clara College baseball team, recently
returned from Hawaii, and read by j.
r. DAILY at a banquet rendered the mem
bers of the team at Santa Clara Col
lege.
At the banquet were gathered the
President and Faculty of the College,
members of the alumni, invited guests
and the Student Body. After superb
menu. the POSTMASTER of the evening.
Maurice T. Dooling Jr., Vice President
of the Student Body, introduced the
speechmaking with some happy re-
marks explanatory of the purpose of
the celebration and laudatory of the
achievements of the team.
James r. DAILY of the Senior class OF
1909 then delivered in splendid style
the foregoing poem. composed by G. D.
South for the occasion.
George ]. Mayerle Jr. delivered
humorous monologue on the home-com-
ing of the team, and was followed by
Harry Mckenzie s eloquent response to
the toast "The Management of the
Team. - The speaker showered praises
on the team s conduct, and declared
that the people of Honolulu were VERT
able SYNONYMS for hospitality. The
treatment of the team was all that
could have been wished, and not one
incident occurred to mar the
journey.
Mervyn Shafer. the plucky catcher
of the team. answered the toast What
We Did, in well-chosen words. He
observed that the Hawaiians understood
the game of baseball quite as well as
their cousins on this Continent, and
that the native players made the col
legians work hard for their laurels. As

Shafer said they were revelation, IN
that they gave the Santa Claras a more
idea of the japanese, the play

SAYS KAUFMAN IS
COMING CHAMPION

SAN FRANCISCO, September 12.-
Billy Delaney insists that in his pres
ent protege, big Al Kaufman, he has
the coming heavyweight champion of
the world. The veteran Delaney has
the distinction of developing two
world s champions-James j. Corbett
and Jim Jeffries.

MOOHEAUS TAKE
ANOTHER DEFEAT
Punah0us Slam Williams All
Over the Field and
Score Twelve.
PUNAHoUs, II; MooHEAUs, 1


There was another sa1 downfall fol
the good old MoO-cows at the ball park
yesterday afternoon. The Punahous
put it over them to the tune of II to /
and it can only be said that Williams
was banged all over the field.
The other Williams, one named John,
who twirled for the Puns was in pref
ty good shape and the Hiloites could
not connect with him at any stage in
the game. In the third it looked as
though his namesake was going to swat
him for a few, for he handed out some
tremendous flies that hit the fence ev-
cry time but, unfortunately, they were
all foul and Williams finally popped out
to Hampton.
There was at least one lively feature
to the game, for Jack Doyle decorated
the bleaehers after a too long absence
and his CHEEKY voice was raised in loud
mock protest when Sam Chillingworth
gave a close decision.
The MoOheaus took their defeat
phlegmatically. They did not get
ratified, but, as usual, bucked up after
the sixth innings and held the others
down, except for one in the seventh.
Their one and only run was scored in
the fifth off an error by Hampton. Will
liams singled but was out at second
while Ahip went to first. Then Bird
Walked and Ahip stole third. Bird
stole second and s'Brick" Lyman
famed Then viii Desha sent one
down by Hampton who fumbled and
the batter reached first while Ahip ran
in. Bird was not content to stay on
third but ran on and was out at the
plate. This made three men down and
that was the last chance for the Wis
itors to score.
The home team started things in the
first by scoring three. Lyman, first
batter up. Hampton and Williams all
scored. They repeated the dose in the
second and scored three more. McCor-
riston, Henderson and Lyman on a very
pretty steal home being the successful
sprinters.
The Puns were held down in the third
and fourth but they cut the mooring
line in the fifth and batted out FIVE
of them. Mareallino ran for John and
reached third while Bruins touched first
on Tevis' error Then Sheldon put his
foot in the wrong place and missed one
so that Marcallino and Bruins romped
while Castle went to second.
Then Kia singled and Castle ran In.
Kia was caught mapping at second,
Hoogs was safe but McCorriston was
out at first. This made two dead men
with Hoogs on second. Henderson
singled and Hoogs reached the plate,
then Lyman reached second and Hen
derson home on George Desha's error.
Five runs and eleven to one for the
Puns. 4
Castle scored for the home team in
the seventh but there was no scoring
after that and the game ended with
the score IL to l for the Punahous.
The official score was:
