All four OF these players have been

praised Of any who have been IN base

like them. other OF the Baltimore play

sent for Capt. Tabeau Of the Cleveland
team.
Il am assigning a new umpire TO work
to-day" said Uncle Nick, "and 1 bespeak
for him your kind consideration. He is
young man, but he has thorough lSnowl-
edge Of the game. Moreover. he is a gem
tleman. and it is my earnest wish that
you and your team mates do not treat
him roughly"
"AlI right" chirped Patsy pleasantly.
Please tell Jess Burkett and Jack
o'Connor."
'Ill tell EN-" said Tabeau.
Along about the third inning Heydler
called Burkett out on close play at the
piate. Then the storm broke. Surround
eG by OConnor. Burkett, Tebeau. Nc
Aleer, Chllds. and Blake, Heydler was
probably called more names in twenty
fie secands than he has been before In all
the twenty-five years OF his life.
There was nothing to do but TO grin and
bear it. for umpires had no authority TO
put players out Of the game or to impose
fines that would ever have to be paid.
But it is said that Heydler at that time
very firmly resolved that IL he ever had
authority he would give the umpires
power to deal with rowdies as they de-
served.

LEGAL BLACKMAIL.

"Well, [ might not be able to
win the case, if it should have to
go to trial, but I will give him a
scare and may perhaps he will
come through" exclaimed an at
torney to a client one day this
week, which was overheard by the
writer. If the case had no merit
in it and the attorney forced the
other fellow to come through
rather than stand law suit then
the attorney was nothing more or
less than a blackmailer. Intimi-
dating men with threatened law
suits is mighty poor business and
the lawyer caught in the act
should be disbarred. Business
men frequently give up sums OF
money to reporters on newspapers
to keep their private affairs out OF
the papers and this is pronounced
the most damnable type of black
mail, but even that is no worse
than the attorney that will threat
en- a person with law suit be-
cause he thinks he can be intimi-
dated so as to give up money that
he either does not owe or there is
some dispute as to the account.
