DIAMOND FANS MISS
UMPIRE TIM HURST
Is Well Known From Coast to
Coast and Well Liked
by All.

In the passing or Tim Hurst from the
American league thar orSanIZa tion lost
an official known from coast TO coast for
his honesty, fearlessncss and ready wit.
After twenty years Of service as an UNI
pire. he enjoys the proud distinction OF
never having lost an argument.
The unfortunate ending OF Tins career
rs major Lacquer came about over an
alleged expcctoration incident at Phlla :
delphla, with Eddie Collins at the other
end of the argument. Tim made n de-
cisIon that did not suit the Athlctics'
second sackcV. He strenuously disputed
the verdict. Tim waved him aside. but
Collins persisted in continuing the de-
bate. IT was claimed that Hurst, in the
heat OF anger, spat In the face OF Col
lins.
As a result OF the little run-in, Tim
lost his job as an umpire on the Ameri-
can league staff. While Tim cared little
about the loss Of the job. as he Is well
fixed financially, yet he did not like the
blot that had been cast on his career 10y
the many disgusting versions given OF
the trouble. Yet while all the fuss was
being made over the incident, Tim never
lost the fund Of good humor that had
helped him out OF so many arguments,
as was proved by the little story that aD-
sode.
a few days after the affair with Col
Inns, Tim was informed or his suspension
By President johnson, and Immediately
returned TO New York 10 put in the time
awaiting a final verdict in the case. Nat
urally tho trouble caused Tim 10 be
eagerly sought after by intcrviewers de-
sirous OF getting information on all kinds
OF subjects pertaining 10 umplring, as
well us the run-in.
Always courteous, Tim gave each in
terviewer an audience, and freely am
SWercd every question, Tim insists that
inside of two weeks he repeated the story
of how he cXpcctorated on another human
being no less than 2002 times.
Finally one young man. after getting
Tins version of the afrsr-aud, by tho
way, Tins story is that he did not com
nit the act that cost him his job-asked
Mr.. Hurst what Was the one best bit OF
advice he could give the ambitious young
umpire of the future.
Tim at the time. and still: figures that
he got the worst of the trouble from
beginning 10 end. and naturally he was
trifle sore in mind over the way The
affair had been aired 10 his dctrimcnt.
what is the ono best bit OF advice
have for the coming umprc?" said Tim
othy. We'll. sir. that's a pretty hard
question. but after first telling him tc
wear plenty OF protection. | believe
would recommend to him the addition oi
cuspidor TO his paraphcrnalia.
Lest YOU forget. Tim was also strong
on sarcasm as we'll as humor.
