UMPIRES SHOULD NOT BE
HASTY WITH DECISIONS
rTT-

Baseball umpires like to give deci-
sions as quickly as possible and the
fans like TO have them just as quick,
but, according To ole Cantillon, part
owner and manager of the Minneapo-
lis club, the umpires would save them
selves much trouble If they would take
their time ad not announce their deci-
sions right off the reel.
by calling balls and strikes" said
Joseph, 'the pire usually makes his
mistakes by calling out the instant the
BAN crosses the plate. He gets the
before the ball is really edged in the
catcher's glove. Then, again, some
will watch the ball as it nears the
plate and call out, whereas the ball is
liable TO take break just at the plate
and go good or bad. and that is whore
the ump puts himself i'm bad.
81 have made the same mistake
many times and have called balls when
! knew after calling them that they
should have been strikes, but could

for that would never do. OF course, 1t
Is all evened up i'm the long run, but
the fans do not look at ii that way,
and umpires often get roasts whore
they might have saved themselves. UNI
pires do not try TO get even with play
ers for alleged abuse or anything of
that kind, for they are too busy fol-
lowing the ball to think of getting
even with anyone
1T Is the same in giving base deci-
sions. Very often runner will get
TO second and slide away just far
enough to be safe. The umpire gives
MS decision quickly, thinking at first
that the man should have been out and
uhen may be forced to reverse 1t when
ne secs that the man IL really safe.
Then, too, the fans get the i'm
preston that the man should have
been out, and when the umpire calls
MN safe they howl murder They are
lar enough away from the play to be
Iooied' and IL the players raise kick.
why, they side i'm with the men and
roast the jumps. If umpires will take

diamond COVERS GREAT
HELP TO NATIONAL GAME
Weather Forecaster's Opinion is
Looked for and Cover Used
Accordingly
PIRATES USED CANVAS FIRST

The weather forecasting branch Of
the United states government plays an
imuortant part in the national game
now. Few of the fans realize how
much they depend upon the Informal
tion handed out 10y the government,
II has been only few years since the
climbs did not give out rain checks
every day and many times each sea-
son each club had more or less con-
fusion on account of sudden showers
that stopped or prevented games when
the parks were crowed and no rain
checks out. 1t was then that Fred c.
Clarke began to study out a cover for
the diamond so that 1t would not be
necessary to postpone games on ac-
count of wet grounCs or brief summer
showers.
When the league adopted the uni
form ticket plan which carried with II
rain checks for every game. Clarke de-
cided that the time was ripe for the
diamond cover and the Pittsburg club
always progressive was the first to ex-
periment Patrons of the game do not
need to be told about the benefits OF
the cover but even they do not know
what steps are taken to make it effec-
tive.
The Pittsbufg club keeps In close
touch with the local forecaster. Tues

last Tuesday the club was notified t.

Mack starts i'm with uhe same team OF
youngsters benefited by the experience
Of a hard campaign. Hughey jennings
also has practically the same team
as last year, but his men are not
youngsters. Quite a number of his
players are going back as fast as
Mack's youngsters are coming. Mack
also has a few goers. but not as many
as Jennings, and he has a good young
ster to fill every gap that can occur.
These facts should make the Athletics
beat out Detroit this season, and so
far no other team has shown form
good enough To warrant the prediction
that il can outstrip the two leaders.
If rumors are true there are special
reasons why Mack would like to win
another pennant with the Athletics

VOC that he always wants to win, but
he will hardly deny that he is more

NO HYSTERICS in
SOCIETY HOLDUP
Prominent Women Deliver Gems
When MilIionaire's Coach
Is Robbed
Bad Man Squeals and Seattle's
Leading Lights Are Shown
Up as Fakers

SEATTLE, June S.-The English
stage coach which Harry Whitney
Treat, a millionaire, has been driving
each day during the last week between
the Hotel Washington and the Seattle
golf and country club, carrying society
women, was held up on its trip this
afternoon near the golf club by four
masked and heavily armed men, who
obtained $500 worth of valuables from
the women passengers and scared them
thoroughly.
The coach, horses and positions,
which were imported from England, are
said to be as fine as any that Dick Tur-
pin ever saw, and the holdup, which
was planned by the husbands of some
of the passengers to give an eighteenth
century flavor to the coach ride, was
far more successful than the bandits
had planned. The women were ordered
harshly to remove their rings and other
jewels and drop them in bag which
one of the bandits extended on a long
pole.
NO MYSTERIES
Thoroughly frightened, but none hys-
terical, the women placed in the bag
watches and jewelry worth $500.
Treat was commanded to drive with all
speed to the golf club house and he
lost no time. The robbers vanished into
clubhouse telephoned to the police and
all the men available at police head
quarters were dispatched to the scene
of the robbery. Meanwhile messen-
ger from the bandits had taken the
women's treasures to the clubhouse to
be restored.
Following is a list of the passengers
on the coach:
Mrs. ]. H. Ballinger Mrs. George II.
Snowden, Mrs. j. D. Farrell, Mrs John
w. Eddy, Mrs Seton Lindsay Mrs
Fred S. Stimson, Mrs. Charles Willard
Stimson, Mrs. Carleton Hinskamp, Mrs.
L. n. Ruhm and Mrs Joshua Green.
Mrs. Snowden is a niece of President
Taft. Mrs. Ballinger is a niece of Sec
retary Ballinger. Mrs. Farrell is the
wife of the head of the Hartman sys-
tenn in the northwest
The members of the bandit gang
were identified later as Joshua Green,
the millionaire steamshipman; John w.
Eddy, one of the owners of the Port
Blakeley mills; Captain Charles Bry-
doen and water front character
known as Red" Gleason, who was
taken along to do the talking fot the
crowd
ROUGHNECk SQUEALS
Gleason, when told by a patrolman n
on the water front that he was wanted
at headquarters, took it for granted he
had been exposed and went TO Chief
Wappenstein and made a clean breast
of the whole affair. He said Joshua
Green held the horses; that Brydoen
passed around the bag for the collec-
tion of yaluables. and that he himself
did all the talking. 1t developed that
Green was to have notified the police
beforehand, but that he failed to do so.
Treat, Green says, was in their plans
and his confusion at the time of the
holdup was all assumed.
