HEYDLER FORCED
OUT AS UMPIRE

Harold Lannigan, St Louis sport
ing writer, is responsible for the state
ment that it was not SO many seasons
ago that John Arnold Heydler, the new
president Of the National league, was
driven from his job as umpire in that
Organization by the rowdies of the
diamond. Now Heydler is in posi-
ton to deal with rowdyism with an
iron rod ana mailed fist.
Heydler made his debut as umpire
in game played by the old Clevelands
in Washington twelve or fifteen years
ago.
Before the game began President
Young, then in charge of the National
league, rent for Captain Tebeau Of the
Cleveland team.
Il am assigning a rev umpire to
work today" said Uncle Nick, land
bespeak for him your kind considera-
tion. He is a young man, but he has
a thorough knowledge of the. game
Moreover, he is gentleman, and 1t is
my earnest wish that you and your
team mates do not treat him roughly"
"All right" chirDed Patsy, pleas
antly
please tell Jess Burkett and Jack
O'Connor,"
'Tll tell 'em," said Tabeau.
Along about the third inning Hey
dler called Burlxett out on close play
at the plate. Then the storm broke.
Surrounded by O'Connor, Burkett,
Tebeau, McAleer, Childs and Blake,
Heydler was probably called more
names in twenty five seconds than he
had been In all the twenty five years Of
his life.
There was nothing to do but to grin
and bear ii, for umpires had no au-
thority to put players out of the game
or to impose fines that would ever
have to be paid. But 1t is said that
Heydler at that. time very firmly re-
solved that If he ever had authority
he would give the umpires power to
deal with rowdies as they deserved.
