KILLING THE UMPIRE.
II is an Essential Part of tho Crest
Game of Baseball.

According to bleacher law. there are
three particularly justitiable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killed-first, il he sees
fit to adhere to the rules and make
decision against the home sam "a,
close point in the game; second. IN
umpire may be killed if he sends Il
member of the home team to the bench
when the player TN question mas done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear of

touchy); third (and this is a perfect
defense against the charge of murderl.
an umpire may be killed II he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing TO do with the case.
There is ample proof at hand TO
show that killing the umpire is dis
tinctively American sport. Other coun
tries have tried baseball. but they have
hot tried killing the umpire. That is
probably the reason why they have
for baseball without umpire killing Is
like football without girls In the grand

His Low Voice.

The late Justice Brewer was presid-
ing years ago over civil case in
which one of the important witnesses
was a horse doctor named Williams.
The doctor was small man with a
weak little voice. and the counsel on
both sides. as well as the court and
jury, had great difficulty In hearing his
testimony
During cross examination the coun-
sci for the plaintiff became exasperat-
ed and began to prod and harry the
little man.
''Dr. Williams" he shouted. "if we
are ever going to get anywhere with
this case you must speak up so the
court will hear you. Speak up loud
and strong. sir"'

1t was evidently no use. Whether
from embarrassment or inability the
sound would not come.
