Pat Tebeau and others Of his kind
made playing baseball secondary TO in
citing riots. in which umpires were al
ways the center Of attraction.
The education Of the fans 10 the fine
points Of the game makes il harder for
the players 10 prejudice the patrons
against the umpires. The first law Of
baseball for most players is to protect
themselves-that is. If one makes a
very bad play he looks right away for
an excuse. The umpire for years has
been the handy little alibi
A case in point: A catcher hands the
ball down 20 second with the would be
base stealer still five feet away. It
looks like a cinch that the runner will
be out, but by fine slide he manages
to avoid being touched. OF course
that play Is bound to be close enough
so that not a soul in the stand could
swear as to whether the runner was
tagged OF not
Right away the big hOlier.
Indignant second sacker makes ges-
ture showing how far from the bag he
touched the runner.
That is the tip for The crowd to yell
"Robber!" at the umpire. Formerly
everybody obeyed the player and yell
ed; many do to this day, but they are
becoming fewer all the time, and some
times. so O'Loughlin says, the fans will
tell the truth and say: II don't know
whether that man was out or not The
umpire was within two feet of the play
and I'm 200 feet away. I guess will
take his word for It"

EvERS GOING TO BE A CLAM.

Johnny Evers. the star second base
man OF the Chicago Nationals, who for
many years has been known as an in
veterate kicker on close decisions. has
arrived at the conclusion that 1t is the
best policy not TO dispute any decision
rendered by the umpire. Evers had
made up his mind not 10 protest vo-
ciferously on any decision given this
season.
At times he has resented the judg-
ments OF the Indicator handlers so
strongly that he has been elected from
the contests, suspended by the presi-
dent OF the league and in addition
fined All this now looms up as 8
piece OF foolishness to the second sack
er, and he declares II IS a thing OF the
past with him. His reputation as a
kicker viii drift into oblivion. and he
expects soon TO be known as Peaceful
Evers"
With all this aggressiveness buried
the champion second baseman will not
appear Ike the same ball player.
Many are attracted by the lighting
spirit he shows throughout the COM
bat in endeavoring 10 get all he can
for himself and his ball club.

LOOKING FOR A FORTUNE?

There is a fortune in store for the
wrestler who can defeat Frank Gotch.
Nobody knows this better than the
promoters OF Europe and America.
Every man interested in the Greco
Roman or catch-as- catch-can game
from Reluchistan to Eresmere Land is
searching for and trying TO discover
this valuable asset in the wrestling
game. The champions Of Europe have
come in hordes. and we have a cham
pion for every square mile in Europe
and few in Asia TO boot, but Gotch
still reigns supreme, giving one of the
newcomers a match now and again
and tossing him with ridiculous ease.

Jake Beckley. formerly one of the

going 20 attempt 20 attach himself to
one OF the major aggregatioIs as an

Jake has reached the end Of his pro-
fessional days and could easily get into
semiprofessional company in the mid

cult attracts him too brightly. Jake
is forty-eight years of age and was
