THE UMPIRE.

Old You Ever Hear the Fans Cheer
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 theater and seen the hero or hero
ine-ycs, even the villain-win round
after round Of applause for some ex-
cellent bit Of acting.
You have been to a football game
and heard some ball gladiator cheered
to the echo for making long run that
resulted in a touchdown or for fly-
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 a ball game and
pitcher because in a pinch he famed
some mighty batter. It's just the nat
ural way Of the American to show ad-
niration and appreciation.
Rack your brain, think your hard
est. recall every game you have ever
attended. then see il you can remem-
her time when the umpire drew ap-
plause for his work. Have you ever
heard the fans cheer the name Of the
umpire after he has worked a fifteen
inning game which fairly bristled with
close and unusual plays and got away
without kick? If you can recall such
an incident. just dot it down in your
notebook that you were present at a
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 OF his
mask? Yes. they do-not. Any injury
to the umpire usually gets round of
derisive laughter from the crowd
Generally. if he has been going bad.
some leather lunged individual re-
quests that he be killed or chloroform-
ed. OF course there are ruany people
In the stands who sympathize with the
umpire. Their sympathy is usually
silence. That isn't much balm to his
injury or feelings.
Applause would sound so strange to
an umpire's ears that he would proba-
bly, become so thoroughly frightened
he would Jump the back fence.-Billy

volumes is now a part Of the Rus.

palace. aud in the hall devoted to II
is Houdon's statue of voltaire.
The story OF GATHERINGS purchase Of
Diderot's library is interesting. II is
creditable 20 her tact and her generos-
ity. Diderot named $4,000 as the
price of his library. Catherine H.
offered him $4,000 and named as
condition OF the bargain that her pur.
chase should remain with Dlderot. until
his death. Thus Diderot. without leav.
ing Paris, became GATHERINGS librarian
In his own library. As her librarian
be was given yearly salary OF 5000
one year this salary was not paid.
Then Catherine wrote 10 her librarian
that she could not have him or her
library suffer through the negligence
Of a treasurer's clerk and that she
should send him the sum that she had
set aside for the care and Increase OF
her library for flfty years. At the end
Of that period she would make new
arrangements. A check for 100000
