the Portland fans will be with
him in the plunge against organic

ed to congress from this state,

all his sympathies were here rath-

are seeking to harass the northern
organization.
Hen Berry, the Coast league

another bitter fight like that

The organization had one char
acter, an umpire. who invariably
wore a long, light-colored linen
duster, when rendering decisions
This garment, buttoned tight
around the neck and split full
length up the back, was an object
of much ridicule and a target fol

I'll say one thing for that um-
pire, he was as full of good inten-
lions as tax return, and what he
lacked in dignity he made up IN
Willingness.
1t was a sight for tired eyes to
see this jumps work. His method
to say the least, was original and
effective. With a runner on base
and the ball hit, he'd decide quick
as a flash upon which man the
play would be made, and would
light out for the base on the third
speed, the tails of his buster
stretching out behind like a wash
on a windy day. ~
He always finished the last few
yards on his wishbone. throwing
himself flat and sliding into the
bag with the runner, to get a bet
ter view on the play and render
his decision according to facts. Not
much more dignified perhaps than
a pair of spoons picked up by a
searchlight, but for effect it had
a supreme court injunction beaten
to whisper.
There was another character in
the league, big husky first base
man with reputation of being
able to whip his weight in wild
cats. He had all the umpires fad
ed, and carried things with high
hand.
1t was In Houston one day that
this big fellow ran a whizzer on a
new arbitrator, which tickled the
multitude and made the player
swell like poisoned pup.
