ROOSEVELT COMMITTEE
SWAMPED BY PARADERS.
Vanderbilt Tells Why Big March
Is Called Off

NEW YORK, May 2O.-There was
good reason for the calling-off of the
carefully planned land parade which
was to have been a feature of the
Roosevelt welcome-home, according to
Cornelius Vanderbilt, chairman of the
committee in charge.
Applications for places in line had
become so numerous that it began to
appear as If the entire nation wanted to
march," said Mr.. Vanderbilt, land the
applications which had been given the
official o. X and tabulated-a small
proportion of the whole-would have
formed a line of marchers many miles
in length. 1t would have taken such a
parade at least t~wenty-four hours to
pass a given point. If the invitation
had been left open. heaven only knows
how long a line we would have had.
Our desire is to have a simple and
dignifed reception. as would beft the
homecoming of an ex-President. We
want the people to see Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Roosevelt to see the people,
which could not happen if we we're to
nave a thirty or thirty-five or forty
eight-hour parade"

of the minor leagues partzan feeling runs so
high that the poor umpire is blamed for any
thing and everything, provided the home team
IS defeated.
| have often seen and heard of unpires being
mobbed with the score standing II to l or
IA to 3 against the home team at the close of
the game. In this same game perhaps the home
players have given poor exhibition in the field
and failed miserably at the bat: but the UNI
pire as rule must stand the brunt of the abuse,
simply because the home team lost In victory
the fans can forget about the umpire. no matter
how poorly he may have worked; but in defeat
all blame him, no matter how perfectly he may
have performed.
Without a doubt Tim Hurst, who retired
from the American League staff of umpires last
year, was the greatest character the game has
ever known. As dispenser of choice repartee
and biting sarcasm, he without an equal.

This brought smile even from Cusack him
self.
Steve Kane, who more than made good on
the National staff, is an Irishman after Tim
Hurst's heart Kane is just about the height
of Hurst and possibly when he gets as old as
Sir Timothy he will be just as rotund. His
fund of ready Irish wit is unlimited.
One day last summer, after Kane had called
a well known National League slugger out on
what the batter believed was high third strike,
he turned on Kane and. in voice that almost
carried to the stands, informed little Steve that
he was bankety blank fool and robber and
a thief.

Yes all that and some more" replied the
angered player.

Then it dawned on the player that he had

Trouble Abounds in Minors
WHILE every umpire who has worked his
way up to the big league realizes the COM
forts and advantages to be enjoyed in the major
organizations, he is unable to forget the trials
and tribulationS he was forced to suffer in the
minor or brush, circuits, as they are known to
all followers of baseball. Consequently, no UNI
pire, no matter how successful will ever advise
any young man who has happy home to break
into the profession.
Although the position of umpire is constantly
being bettered in the minor leagues, the job as
yet is not any too desirable. In smaller cities

players. There Is no rule in either
ma or league demanding such action;
it's optional with the umpires to
stay where they please.
For a very good reason umpires
select other hotels than those used
by the players. In such exciting
races as have featured minor and
major league races for a number of
years, the umpire plays an important
part 1t is the destiny of Fate that
time and again he is forced to make
hairline decisions. which create
trouble no matter how he sees them.
Every umpire who is successful gives
the plays without fear or favor, and
one side is always sure to be offended.
For instance, say the umpire de-
clared man out at the plate on
what would have been the tying run
had he made the opposite decision.
Perhaps the play was so close it
would have been possible to have
given it either way The player,
after making a great effort, rises
from the dirt. to discover that he
has been declared out Nine times
out of ten, in his anxiety to win, he
thinks he was safe, if the play was at

the umpire's judgment, and unfor-
