Him For His Work?
There is one unique phase connected
with the life of the umpire which per-
haps has never occurred to most low
ers Of baseball. You have often been
to a theater and seen the hero or hero
ine-yes. even the villain-win round
after round of applause for some ex-
cellent bit Of acting.
You have been to football game
and heard some ball gladiator cheered
to the echo for making long run that
resulted in touchdown or for a n.y.
ing tackle that prevented imminent
defeat. When some player is injured
they convey their sympathy to him by
cheering his name.
You have been to bali game and
heard the fans cheer some crack
pitcher because in pinch he famed
some mighty batter. It's just the nat
ural way of the American TO show ad-
miration and appreciation.

umpire after he has worked fifteen
inning game which fairly bristled with
close and unusual plays and got away
without kick? If you can recall such
an incident. just Not 1t down in your
notebook that you we're present at
very, very unusual happening.
Do they cheer the umpire's name
when he stops foul tip with his shin
or has a swift shoot Bounced off his
mask? Yes. they do-not Any injury

THE RED DAB OF DEATH.
Tragic Mark on the Steel skeleton OF
the skyscrapsr.


"See that big blob of scarlet paintY'
said the engineer as he pointed to a
girder high up in the skeleton of the
new skyscraper THAT red spot means
that one of the men working on the
building was killed by the girder
sweeping him off the structure while
being put in position"
The visitor craned his neck and saw
q rough patch of vermilion paint on
one of the floor girders up on the six
teenth story. 1T must be dangerous
life." he said to his engineering friend.
"Yes. Those men up there are work.
ing under the chance of instant death
at any moment. They'll walk along
the topmost girder. 300 feet above the
sidewalk-a little path of slippery iron
five inches wide-and will lean out
ward against the wind. You or l
couldn't do it for a second.
"Now and again there's an accident.
A chap slips. A worker gets hit by a
swinging girder and flung off. Anoth-
er man takes an incautious step and
falls off into eternity. The men work
ing near by do their best to- get at him
If he manages to grab the girder he's
falling from. and there are some swift
and reckless races with death to get
to their comrade' at any cost in the five
or ten seconds allowed them while
strong fingers are sliding away from a
slippery beam hange. If the worst
happens and the man falls in spite of
their efforts. then they apply the dab
of red paint, and the ironworkers call
1t a day. They don't speak much of
the man that is gone, as rule He's
soon forgotten. The men consider it
fate.
"You'd think. by the way" went on
the engineer. that the higher up these
men worked the more careful they'd
become. They aren't particularly care
full. but they do guard against the
hypnotism of height. One Of the men
working on a high girder gets para
lyzed now and again by a sudden fear
that holds him motionless and still on
his iron beam.
THE men look out for this sort OF
thing. and the remedy is to distract
his attention by rough blow on the
back or. In some cases by exciting him
to anger through any means in their
power. When the man gets fighting
mad he is freed from the paralysis Of
terror or whatever you may choose to
call it. He gets up from his girder to
make a rush for the other fellow to
do him up. and the moment he is safe
he is restrained by the other men.
Whenever you see a skyscraper
framework" concluded the engineer.
leach dab of scarlet paint on the iron
means that some man has come to his
death. Every skyscraper and every
bridge is the monument to some little
group Of unknown workers. laboring
at dizzy heights and dallying with sud-
den death as part of their days work."
