Q ONE people, including baseball
- fans, managers and players, ave
an idea that umpires are sup
posed neve to make a mistake, judg-
ing from the way they act towards the
umpire. 1t was the writer's lot yes
terday to witness that do~uble-header at
the Polo grounds between the Giants
and Pittsburg. All hat can be said
of the day is that the New Workers.
almost from McGraw down to the
spectators. proved themselves poor
sports. McGraw kicked, Inc we don't
blame him for kicking against some Of
the decisions of the uInpires, but we
do blame him for putting his hands to
his mouth, megaphone fashion, and
calling on the crowd to belittle the um-
pire. That act of McGraw augmented
a great deal the inclination to throw
pop bottles at Umpire Rigler. Some
of them came dangerously near Rig
ler's head and might have killed hin
had they struck the arbitrator. That
other bottle throwing incident-the one
hurled at Fred Clarke-was a disgrace.
The quicker people begin to realize

must be somebody to have the last say
on a play, in order that the game may
be finished on the same day, If at all,

Kid Wilson, the hard hitting colored
welterweight OF Orange, who created
considerable interest in local pugflistic
circles recently, has replied to the chal-
lenges hurled at him by Ed Holland,
manager of Tony Coleman, the Phil
adelphia welterweight. Wilson says
that he Is willing to meet Coleman at
the weight stipulated by Holland, pro-
viding that he win post $3.50 to show
good faith. Wilson also states hat it
will be necessary for him (Holland) to
obtain a club that Is willing to stage
the bout. Speaking Of the def issued
by Holland. Wilson says that as he has
never let the opportunity of a meeting
with any of the so-called champs"
slip by he was certainly not going to
let easy money like Coleman pass. Con-
| tinuing, Wilson says that it is simply
another case Of q fighter receiving free
advertising at his expense.
While 1t Is thought that a meeting
| between the two would attract consid-
cradle interest. there is very little like
| iihood of q meeting, as Holland stated
in his challenge that the bout must be
held in this city.
