BASEBALL UMPlRES.
Most Famous in the Junior Bio
 League.

From Harper's Weekly.
 While not as old in service as Sheridan it is probable that Francis, otherwise "silk" o'Loughlin. is the most famous umpire in the junior big league. His strike tuhl" is familiar to every follow CT of baseball. He comes from Roches- ter, N T., known as the home of unl- pires" by virtue of the fact that no less than 32 residents of that city are now serving in a similar capacity throughout the major and minor leagues. His nick name, Silk was given him when A lit- tlesboy by his sister in recognition of his long silky hair and his playmates, as he grew up, fixed 1t on him permanently O'Loughin is known as the strictest dis -eipiinarfan in either organization. He has code of finger and arm signaling which is respected by every ball player in the American league. By merely hold ing up the index finger of the right hand O'Loughlin can checked effectively the rush of players who desire to argue with him relative to the justness of his de- cision, and 1t means ruling off the field if they disregard the warning of that upraised digit. The members of the teams on the bench watch O'Loughlins hands constantly. When there Is too much noise or too loud coaching, SIR sim ply wiggles his thumb without turning around and unless hush falls over the players they are banished without fur their barley.
 Timothy (-Tim') Carroll Hurst is known as the wittiest and wealthiest of umpires. Hurst, who worked his way up to the American league via half dozen minor associations greatly en- joys a bit of repartee with disgruntled player who objects to his decisions. It is claimed by his admirers that Sir Tim othy," as he is sometimes called, never came out second best in such encounters of wit. and book could be filled with his funny sayings. But for all his jolS- ing propensities, Hurst is a strict um- pire when on the field. He is rather short. but very stockily built, and is not so lively as most of the officials of play He is inclined to rule with less exertion than most of his contempora- ries "Tim" is recognizable by his rather "squatty" appearance and his short and decisive manner of rendering decisions.
