AMERICAN LEAGUE UMPIRE
TELLS Of JOYS AND TRIALS

rules gives the umpire lot of trou-
BILE these days. Coaches, according
to the rule of book, are supposed to
confine their words to the base run
ner and have nothing at all to say
to the man at the bat or the pitcher.
Yet ninety-nine out of a hundred of
them pay almost no attention to the
runner and direct their advice to the
batsman or the pitcher. To bring
the coach to time for this means to
stir up a regular hornets nest. The
coach will put up a great argument,
and the manager and his fellow play
ers will support him. As for the
crowd. they think that the coacher's
principal object in life is to get the
pitcher ratified, and when the umpire
tries to stop it they feel as though
they had been injured personally.
Experience a Great Teacher.
Experience is a great teacher in all
lines, but it is everything to the UNI
pire. When a young fellow breaks
| into the umpire work in the big
leagues he is a enough stranger
in a strange land. The players know
nothing about him and he knows as
much about them. They always ex-
pect the worst from a novice, and
they do not help him any in getting
through his first game. Each player
has a nature Of his own and his own
particmular way of expressing his
disgust when a raw decision is pulled
off on him, and, as / have already
remarked, the best Of umpires make
mistakes. Some Of the players will
storm and bluster for a few minutes
and then forget their troubles. Others
will laugh and address sarcastic COM
ments to the empty air Yet others
will not say a word, just glare. These
latter are the hardest to get along
with. as they nurse their resentment
and make themselves disagreeable
/ through a whole game, and some
/ times through an entire series. Oc-
/ casionally you will bump into chap
who will get a crouch for some little
thing or other and hold 1t for per-
f haps the entire season, Dut THESE men
are few and far between. To learn
/ how to take every one Of the players
on the teams Of a league requires a
whole lot Of hard study, and it will
take a couple Of years before an UNI
pire can say to himself that he is
/ wise to all the tricks Of his trade.
Umpire Is a Master.
With all its trials and tribulations
the life Of an umpire is a great one
and the position is one to be sought
after and not avoided. You are the
absolute master Of the field and your
work is in the open air and most
healthful. Speaking Of work in the
open reminds me that this, too, is al
times rather uncomfortable. One day
you will have to run around In the
scorching sun and the next you may
have to stand in the rain and cavor
about on a muddy field. And IL yot

happen to slip and fail in the mud
you will get more cheering than
player who has knocked home run
with three men on the bases.
The general feeling of fair play
which appears to be rapidly sweep
ing over the country should greatly
lessen the tribulations of the umpire.
This feature and the fact that the
double system has been installed in
both leagues this year should give
the spectators much more satisfac-
ton than the old one-man system,
and the feeling of instructive hostil-
ity. which all seemed to have where
the man with the indicator was con-
cerned, should die a natural death
All the arguments brought up by the
incontrovertible fact that one man
cannot be in two places at one and
the same time will be done away
with.

(Billy Evans, American League UNI
pire.)
The baseball umpire holds a very
peculiar position. You might almost
saw that he is considered an enemy
by everybody. The players as a gen.
eral rule harbor the opinion that ne
is determined to keep them under
thumb and that he will not give them
a chance to argue, no matter how
Just their grievance may be. The
baseball fans, at least the great ma
iority of them, whenever a decision
goes against the home team, feel
that the arbitrator is inimical to the
interests of their pets, and are not
slow to voice their sentiments. OF
course. the intelligent class Of base
ball followers realize that the umpire
cannot always be right but still they
are Just as loud in shouting their dis
approval as the rabid little newsboy
who graces the sun bleachers.
In the big leagues the lot of the
umpire while not any too smooth, is
a dream of bliss in comparison with
his experiences in the minor or bush
leagues. It is with the little fellows
that umpire batting is in its greatest
glory. The minor league official who
goes through a season without being
pursued by a frantic mob of enraged
enthusiasts may consider that he has
been born under a lucky star. In
most Of the little towns there is little
or no police protection, and the indi-
Gator man who is in the wrong gen
orally has to depend on the. protec-
ton Of the players or upon his fleet
ness Of foot to evade some physical
suffering. With the big league teams
there is. to be sure, no such danger,
for large squads Of police are in at
tendance at every game; still, there
is the comment and the sarcasm Of
the crowd, something that comes far
from being agreeable.
Pitted Agains, Is Men.
Then, when things are working
smoothly as to decisions, there's still
lot to bother one. You are pitted
against is men, the chief stock in
trade Of every one Of them being
brains. They know all sorts Of tricks
that may deceive an uRwary umpire
and they are always trying to get
away with them. II they fail they
will, Of course, put up a holler Then
there are the pitchers They have all
sorts Of curves and shoots. One Of
these may in the opinion Of the
judge Of play, go outside the corner
Of the plate and he will call it ball
The twirler, on the other hand, viii
be positive that it cut the corner anc
that he should have been given
strike on II. Then he will kick. The
umpire may think that a ball die
take the corner and he will declare
a strike, while the player at bat II
sure that It was from the plate. Ther
he will be heard from.

BASKETBALL AT F. c.
Schedule to Be Arransed-Much En-
thusiasm Exhibited-SeVeral Big
Games Ara Being Arranged.

The preachers are training in earnest
for the basketball season. Manager
George Haggert and Coach watkins are
hard at work on schedule which will
be announced soon. The team is ex-
pecting some fine trips. Several games
will be played before the Christmas
vacation with Concordia, Moorhead
normal and possibly the Y. M. c. A.
team. After this the real season will
begin. Several gaines win be played
with the University, one here and one
at Grand Forks. Two games will be
played with the A. G. for the cham
pionship of the two schools. Two games
viii be played with the ID. B. c.. and
probably Wahpeton Science and the
Valley City normal win clash with the
sky pilots. The climax of the season
will come when the Minneapolis trip is
made. There will probably be five
games in all while the team is in the
cities. The st. Thomas and St. Johns
games have been arranged, while those
with Manchester, st. Olaf and Hamline
win be secured soon. The candidates
are looking forward to this trip espe-
cially, and it will produce considerable
competition.

Minneapolis, Nov. 22.-There was no
celebration in this town Saturday
night, not by anybody wearing the gold
and maroon at least. The town is
broke. Between the early morning
and up to the time of the game Mich
igan's roll seemed to grow bigger all
the time and thousands of dollars were
taken out of three hours circulation. A
party from Marshall, Mich, carried
away a roll big enough to start bank
with and isolated parties from Detroit.
Ann Arbor and other points in the
wolverine stronghold got plenty and
more of it.
Yost and his team after attending
the banquet took squirt or two at

'DOBIE TO REMAIN
AT WASHINGTON
Reelected and Given Raise Of Salary,
Old Gopher Star Will Stick
TO Game,

Gilmour Doble, the famous Minnesota
player, who has been looked upon as
one Of the grea- football coaches Of
the country the past four years, was
reelected coach of the University Of
Washington team by unanimous vote.
Doble had declared tina he would quit
at the end of this season, and his
statement rallied a tremendous sup
port to him and it Is likely he will
consent to stay.
He took hold of the Washington uni
versity team at time when 1t was in
the rut and had done nothing for a
long time. In his first season, with
poor material. he hammered team to-
gether that won the coast champion
ship. This year he done the same
trick again, swamping all opposition.
The Alumni of the university started
big boom for him, and as a result Of
1t he was given substantial increase
in salary.
This means that If Dobie remains ia
the game he will stay in the West.
There was much talk of Wisconsin Sc
curing the old Minnesota boy
The board decided to play no post
season games. This means Washing
post season games. This means
washington will not meet Pullman or
Denver university.

was the score of one of the best foot
ball games of the season. Played in
almost zero weather, on a hard fast
field, somewhat slippery in grass spots
the game was brilliant and exciting
Several Of the Fargo boys were play
ing their last football contests under
high school colors and they were de-
termined to wind UP the season with
= glaze Of glory. After the first five
minutes it was easily demonstrated
that barring some great fiuke, Fargo
would win the contest The superior
ity of the Fargo bunch in speed was
it's greatest factor, but too much cam
not be said for the manner in which
Quarterback Rusch mixed up the
plays. 1t was a judicious conglomer-
alton Of line plunges, forward passes,
onside kicks and punts. Early in the
game 1t was demonstrated that the
weak spots in the visitors line was the
right side of the line and the Fargo
bunch smashed through there many
time and oft for good gains.
Fargo received a touchdown, goal
and a field goal In the first half, MAX
inging the score 8 to O. In the second
Two LOucnuOWnS were auu6Qs one Oh
the goals being missed, ST. Paul got
one touchdown, but didn't get a try at
the goal as the dck-out was not held.
The ST. Paul bunch was slightly
heavier than the locals, but not SO
fast. Both ends, the fuIlback and the
right half played star ball. The line
was weak, especially through right
guard and tackle.
1t would be difficult to pick out the
players of the Fargo team who starred
unless the entire bunch was named.
Rusch, Kimball, Cruikshank Warner,
Keye, Spalding and Gallagher all per-
formed in a most satisfactory manner.
Each member of the aggregation is
entitled to credit There was only
one substitution, Ncsbitt going in at
left half for Brown, whose ankle was
injured
There were big bon1res on each side
OF the gridiron and the spectators ex-
perienced but little difficulty. The
failure of the police to keep the crowds
on the east side off the gridiron was
the most unpleasant feature of the
game.

SOUR MILK AND LONGEVITY.

DR.. Metehnikoff's Denial Fails to Dis
pose of the Theory.
New York Times: DR.. Ellie Metch-
nikoff contributes to the current num-
Der of The Century Magazine an arti-
Gle on the utility of Tactic microbes, In
which he says:
Contrary to what many Journalists
have made me say, have never, in
any of my publications on the sub
ject, asserted that curdIed milk is able
to prolong life"
But he adds:
I'VE have the right to suppose they
(the Tactic microbes must exercise q
favorable influence In favor of long
evity. Only, before such a supposi-
ton becomes confessed reality, many
precise facts have still to be gathered
Nevertheless, Ii has been found that
bacilii inhabiting the digestive organs
secrete phenols in abundance, land
these poisons act on the arteries and
bring about arterio-scierosis one of
the main symptoms of premature old
age" These bacilli of putrefaction die,
then can not thrive in the presence of
the microbes of curdled milk. The ad-
AAAAAS1AaIOh VI the AhCttc LefHentS Is
successful in remedying many interti-
nal ailments, and has been approved by
the best physicians everywhere. Or.
Metchnikoffs denial, therefore, is made
rather in the interest of scientific ac-
curacy than because the intelligent lay
man requires 1t. Those who have the
courage to imbibe the sour Metchnik-
offian brews may abide in the hope that
it will keep the arteries pIiable.

O'DEA TO MANAGE
SUPERIOR TEAM

Superior Telegram: Artie O'Dea has
been selected by the director OF the
Superior baseball club TO mahage the
team next year. 81
The election has not been officially
held as yet but today President Som
mer authorized tie announcement that
ODea was the man and stated that
the board would meet either tonight or
the first of next week to take formal
action on the matter
O'Dea is at present living at Du-
luth but will leave the head of lakes
in few days. While away he will
visit at the Twin Cities during the
Thanksgiving holidays and expects to
get line on some ball players in the
vicinity of the Minnesota metropolis.
Upon returning he will live at Supe-
rior and conduct his preliminary cam
paign for the team from this city.
The duke was agreed upon as man
ager couple OF weeks ago but no an
nouncement was made of the fact at
the request OF Mr.. O'Dea himself. He
wished to wait until he had proved UP
on his homestead on the north shore
where he has been living for the past
two years. He proved up at the land
Office at Duluth this morning and the
Superior directors Immediately an
nounced their selection to the fans.
Duke Pennant Winner.
O'Dea was chosen from a bunch of
applicants which included a number of
old Northern leaguers and some present
Minny league players. The directors
think that their selection has been a
wise one in view of IDEAS record for
the past I'VE years. Since rising from
the ranks of a managerial position
O'Dea has won three pennants, all for
different towns. In different leagues
and with different teams
The boss Of the Superior outfit will
probably play first base himself. At
present he is in grand condition and
those who knew him when he was in
Superior in the days Of old would
hardly ecognize him today. He is
not carrying The same old corn crib
and his homesteading in the north
woods has put him in the best of shape
for more hard campaigns on the dia-
mond. The Duke says he viii be there
with the bells as first sacker UNI
less this Minny league Is a whole lot
faster than the Northern, which it
certainly is. Artie's long suit when he
was in the game was cracking them
over the fence and hac he been with
us last year Lew Drill would have had
the cleanup hitter that he claimed
was the only thing necessary to win
the pennant for Superior.
In 1905 O'Dea played with Duluth
and hit .24S with a fielding average of
.956. That wasn't Arties best year by
any means but he was smuggling even
then and in the short season secured
80 hits for a total os 10s bases. That
was the year Of the Northern Copper
Country league The next year lie won
a pennant up in anada and in 'OS his
Brandon club copied the Northern
league pennant.
