is drawing the largest salary of any
umpir9 in any league.
Cool at all times under fire, full of
courage, and always enjoying the con-
fidence of the players and the public,
he POSSESSES all the requisites of an
ideal umpire. Talk about your brave
heroesi Jack Sheridan has them all
backed off the boards. For twenty
five years he has been playing the
difficult role of umpire and always with
success. If anyone ever deserved a
Carnegie medal fol- bravery, it's old
Jack It's up to some of the fans to
put Andy wise to the one best bet he is
overlooking.
Tommy Connolly.
There is another umpire on Ban
Johnson's staff who must be classed
as the wise little Irishman. 1t is not
generally known, but Tommy Connolly
was born in Ireland and came to this
country when about 10 years old. He
never played ball, yet he so mastered
the game that he is now considered
one of the most competent officials IN
the business. Connolly is considered
the premier roller polo referee of tine
game. Just think Of it and then gaze
in silence while l tell you that he has
so mastered these two games that he
can realize $4,000 a year for his work.
Most of the other youngsters who
came to this country with him are
hard at work ekiug out an existence
in the shoe factories of the east or as
policemen on the New York force.
O'Loughlin Modern.
President Johnson has also another
umpire on his staff who is a prominent
figure in baseball. He is none other
than Francis silk O'Loughlin. I'm
pires of the old school are Sheridan
and Connolly. O'Loughlin belongs to
the modern method. With his calliope
voice (Which, by the way, he nearly
lost last summer, his peculiar ges-
lures and his strike tuh,' he is quite
a card. The public likes to see him
perform because he is so different. Yet
"Silk' is in bad with most of the
teams. His decision in the sixteen in
ming game between the Philadelphia
, Athletics and the Detroit Tigers two
years ago brought the wrath of Connie
Mack on his head, and when two Irish
men get together it reminds one of the
old-time cockf1ghts. WHAT Connie said
about silk" was unprintable and what
"Siilz'' said about Connie wouldn't look
well in the War Cry. .

Egan Making Good.

Jack Egan, formerly an umpire in
the American association, was new
conner in the American league last
year. Nearly always he was coupled
up with an old-timer and apparently
made good. He umpired for nearly
the whole at-home series for the
Washington club at the winduR of the
season. He umpired alone and thete
was perhaps less kicking than at any
time during the season. There were
some mighty close decisions, and the
Washington club was fighting to bet
ter their position in the race. If there
had been the ghost Of a chance for a
kick Cantillon would have set his
youngsters after the new member of
the umpire family. 1t looks very much
as though Jack Egan would make
good.

Chubby Tim Hurst.

Last, but not least, in the American
league umpire family is Chubby Tim
Hurst. Tim will take more bantering
and more back talk than any of his
colleagues, but once he lets loose the
fur flies. 1t has never been known that
he was bested in an argument, and If
il came to blows he was Johnny-on-
the-spot. The only time he was best
ed In any matter Of note is perhaps of
enough interest to tell. This was not
an argument, but merely little game
of draw.
In the old days Tim used to sit in
the poker games with the players ev-
cry now and then while en- route to
some city. One day Tim and the late
Ed Delehanty were the only two stay
ers in large jack pot. Tim had three
kings and Ed was four-foushing. Tim
asked for two cards and Delehanty
for one, just the the train shot into q
tunnel. When the train emerged into
daylight Delephanty had made his
flush, but Tim had failed to better his
threes. AS Delehanty raked in the
money Tim retired with this as a good
bye:
Gentlemen, am not at all suspi-
cious, but there are too many dark
spots in the road. No more tunnel
poker for me-"
These six members Of Ban Johnson's
family are a pretty hard bunch to beat
any mighty good one to draw to.

GARFIELD'S ACT QUESTIONED
Hetch Hetehy Valley Grant Dis
eussed by Public Lands Committee.
Representatives from California and
Alden sampson. of New York,
Present Their Views.

Whether the Hetch Hetchy Valley. IN
the Yosemite region OF California. shall
be 6esecrated by a reservoir which the
City OF San Francisco desires TO con
struct was the subject discussed at a
hearing before the House Committee on
Public Lands yesterday.
Representatives OF san Francisco de-
clare that Hetch Hetchy is the most de-
sirabIe location from which to secure
its water supply. The conversion OF the
valley into reservoir Is opposed on the
ground that such work would destroy
the scenic beauty Of the Yosemite reser-
walton. The House Committee on Public
Lands has Jurisdiction because OF the fact
that Hetch Hetchy is a part Of the public
domain.
Secretary Of the Interior Garfield, Mans
ten Manson. city engineer OF san Fran
cisco. and Alden Sampson, OF New York,
appeared before the committee to discuss
the bill
Secretary Garfield. il was developed. has
issued a temporary permit authorizing
the city 10 build & reservoir in the HetcL
Hetch Valley. His authority to DO SO
was questioned by Representative Herbert
Parsons, OF New York, who is a member
| OF the Public Lands Committee.
Such authority. he cOntended, was vest
ed in Congress, and not in any executive
officers.
Mr. Sampson opposed the bill on The
ground that the reservoir proposed would
result in the DETACHMENT OF one OF the
most beautiful scenic spots in the United
States

with which Il was handled In the Chopin
sonata Gabrilowitsch achieved remark
able effects in the march funebre. and to
hssd OF any applause he skillfuIly kept
his finger on the last note until he dashed
into the presto and played It with cleo
tricaI briIliance. He was recalled and
played most ChaTmingly ChOpin's prelude,
known as The Rain Drop"
The last group would be hard to choose
the best from The numbers were ali
especially beautiful, all distinctive. and
given with warmth OF tone color and
singing quality.
His skillful pedaling IN the Moszkowski
etude was a good lesson 10 all piano stu
dents. and likewise a good many plano
players.
The Arensky number was exquisite and
beautiful, given with the most delicate
finish and remarkable phrasing At the
