White Sox tried To work on me some
years ago. Isbell wanted to get out Of
the game. 1t was bitter cold. and he
did not feel like playing. But he did
not feel like going to the manager OF
the team and saying that he didn't
want to play. So he hit upon the
scheme OF being put out of the game.
In one of the early innings he tried
to steal second, and 1 declared him
out. "I wasn't out, and anybody who
says was out doesn't know what he is
talking about" said Frank. He was
hoping that I would put him out OF
the game, but 1 was on TO his trick
The next time he got on first he start
ed for second again. Once more had
to call him out I'm not Quit" howled
Isbell. Nobody but a crooked umpire
would call me out" The third time
up he singled and once more started
to steal second. This time he was out
by two feet "I wasn't outr' he yelled
and handed out line of talk that was
calculated to get him put out of the
game. AS the day was cold and raw
he would rather be sitting on the bench
in the clubhouse than on the bench of
the playing field. Frank saw that
was on to his game and for the rest
of the game remained very quiet.

GIBSON PREMIER CATCHER.

Baseball Experts Give Pittsburger
Coveted Title of Best Baekstop.
Worlds greatest catcher-this is the
nifty title that has been bestowed on
George Gibson, the Pirates great back
stop, by the Pittsburg critics.
Well, there are lots of baseball ex-
perts who say that the popular
Mooney is deserving Of 1t. They claim
there is no wind paddist in the game
today who is Gibby's peer In all
around work.
The big Canadian has made a great
start this year, and it will surprise no
one If he equals or even surpasses his
great record Of 1909 for consecutive
games caught.
Gibson is so big, so ideally built, so
work twice as hard as the ordinary
man without feeling any Ill effects.
Toll agrees with Hack" He thrives
under it and never loses his happy
spirit or his effervescent smile.

being as good a judge of ball players
as any man in the business. He has

thority for the statement that when
it comes to smooth, graceful work be-

Gibson.
Gibson makes hard job easy" said
the Deacon" HE does so because
he catches in such a naturally free
and easy style that he runs little risk
of personal injury. You never hear of
his missing a game through being
hurt. And yet there are catchers with
good regulations who are always get
ting into the way of the ball. They
fight the sphere as it comes to them
and are often laid off with split or
bunged fingers. That's not the case
with Gibson. He is surely a wonder

There is no need for any worry. John

only the fraction of the time Jeffries is
using for the preparation, as he has
been fighting often and can get into
shape very quickly.
Just at present he is getting all there
is to be had out of the sensation of
being prominent figure In the public
eye. He seems to feel that the hard
grind of the training season will be on
whenever he makes up his mind to for
sake pleasure and meet it face to face.
While training for his fight with Tom
my Burns in Australia some of the
well meaning visitors did not like
Johnson's style of preparing for a
worlds championship fight, and they
made suggestions. Johnson heard
them and was quick to resent. From
these training camp experiences devel-
oped the feeling of dissatisfaction
which resulted in Johnson turning

Umpiring is a business, and it has
been mine for fourteen years, during
which time naturally have had some
queer experiences. If l have attained
any success as an arbitrator it is be-
cause I have put my mind down to
my work and given it just as much Of
my time and thought as have been
given In other lines and professions.
believe that the umpire is every bit
as much of a feature at a ball game
as are the ball tossers. More depends
upon him, and he should realize this
fact when he steps upon the field. 1t
has always been my idea to let the
public and the players know that the
umpire is the real thing. He should
create this impression when he walks
On the field and impress it on every
body's mind as the game progresses.
/ have made a study to give the
public all that is coming to them from
the umpire. The people in the seats
are entitled to know what decisions
render, and I try to make this plain
both by signals Of the hands and
arms and also by the peculiar manner
Of announcing strikes and balls.

that I do is to get as near to every
play as possible. The umpire should
move about, and the players should
do the same. The umpire should put
lots of action into his work, and the
players will follow suit. There is
nothing more tiresome than a draggy
game of ball, and the umpire can make
1t draggy If he is so disposed. 1 al
ways make the players hustle, and
have never yet found a player who
did not want to get through a game
Is quickly as possible.
Let 1t Slip Away.
Empires sometimes make trouble for
themselves by allowing the game to
get out of his hands The umpire
should always hold the players in
check, and they would never have
any trouble with the ball tossers. I
started to umpire when 1 was but
twenty years old. and have been at
it ever since. Umpirfng is not always
pleasant, but like my work.
In order to be successful arbitrator
one must possess cool head and be
