That there are 20 decisions to render on
balls In the immediate neighborhood of the
foul line during the ordinary game is q con-
serVatiVe estimate. The decisions often
a matter of inches, and many times change
the entire complexion of the game
OF course, in full nine inning game 81
men must be retired before it is completed.
Ii the nome team happens to have made more
runs in eight innings than the visitors in nine

ing 1t necessary to retire only 81 men in or
der to complete the game. decision is neces
sary on every one made, although frequently it
Is evident to every one that the man is re-
tired as on fly ball or when a man takes
healthy swing for the third strike Such de-
c1s1ons are more a mere matter of form
than anything else. On the other hand
theer are perhaps 20 plays that come up in
game where the umpire rules the player is
safe on a very close decision
resume would show 28O decisions on
balls and strikes, 20 decisions on fair and foul
hits, 81 rulings on outs and somewhere near
20 plays in which the runner gets the benefit
of the doubt, and is called safe, making 374
rulings an umpire is called upon to make
during nine inning contest.
1t is easy to sit in the grandstand or
bleachers, surrounded by a lot of friends
who see things just as you do, and umpire
the game when you are not busy munching
peanuts. 1t is entirely different on the
ball field however, where you are a stranger
in strange land. with hostile crowd ever
ready to criticise and Is active ball players and
as many substitutes, together with two foxy
managers, trying their level best to outwit
you.
/ happened to have an Off day in Cleve-
land last year, and l decided to journey out
to the ball park and call on my brother um-
pfres, "BulP' Perrine and Bill Dinneen had
been assigned to' the game. After making
them friendly visif told them intended TAX
ing seat in the grandstand to look them over
They laughingly assented and informed me that
they would give their best performance of the
season
Bill Dnneen, the former star pitcher
worked the bases, and it seemed as If every
decision was close. Philadelphia was the
opposing team that afternoon. and despite
the closeness of many of the plays there was
scarcely a kick from any of the players.
Cleveland was losing, however, and the fans

ing through knot hole" The fan said nary
word in reply, and Silk having gotten all
the venom out Of his system was content to
drop the matter. 1t was evident from the look
of embarrassment that came over the rooter's
face that he was thoroughly disgusted with
himself He just began to realize what he
had been doing throughout the afternoon.
Shortly after we had reached dressing

silk" almost keeed over when he heard
the news. 1t simply goes to show what
baseball will do to a man, especially If the
home team happens to be losing. This chap
with the defective eyesght was getting an ex-
cellent umpire into trouble because most Of
the decisions going against the home
could see only side of the argument
When you come to think it over, and
weigh carefully the cold facts, it is really
remarkable the work that devolves upon
an umpire during a ball game. In the course
of a regular nine inning contest he is
called upon to render between 375 and 400
decisions. Rather remarkable figures. Con-
sidering his arduous duties, it is not to be
wondered at If he errs. Indeed it is remark
able that the judges of play do not slip up
more frequently. Here is a little data that
is mighty interesting Possibly a perusal Of
it may cause the umpire to receive more IA
vorable consideration.
In nine inning game an average of
So men on each team will face the pitcher,
making 20 men in all who step to the plate
in an attempt to outguess the twirler. Thus
the umpire is called upon to pass judgment on
three and ten batters
1t has been estimated that the umpire makes
four decisions on each man. In these mod
ern days Of baseball groove" pitchers are
mighty scarce. The pitcher is constantly try
ing to make the batter hit at bad balls on the
outside and inside, while the batter is trying
to make the twirler get them over Conse-
quently the game resolves itself into con-
tinual battle of wits between the pitcher and
batter.
Should the batter strike out on three balls
it would require three decisions. If the bat
ter works the pitcher for pass to first on four
balls, it requires that man, decisions. Often
the count before the batter is finally retired or
reaches first Is one strike and three balls
two balls and two strikes, two strikes and
three balls, three balls and three strikes four
balls and two strikes or any of the many other
combinations that may arise. Thus it would

to drop the ball. Had he held the throw
Baker would have been easy out"
"Why did you call Birmingham out at
second when Coombs threw to catch him nap
mapping? Looked as if Joe got back to the bag
before the ball reached Barry's hands"
HE got back, but not to the bag" replied
Bill Barry had him blocked off, and 'Birmy'
slid against Barrys shoe, not the bag. He
hasn't touched the base yet"
Just one more, Bill. Why was Jackson

Catcher Lapp's throw in an attempt to keep
him from stealing"
mo question about his beating the throw"
answered Bill HE was safe mile, If he
hadn't overslid the bag three or four inches and
allowed himself to be touched out before he
was able to regain it."
On the four plays in which Dinneen was
absolutely correct he was forced to submit
to all kinds of censure, because the fans did
not know what had really happened.
There are any number Of points that the
fans should take into consideration when
they see the umpire declare a man out who
seems to them to be safe beyond a reasonable
doubt. -Four of them l have already re-
ferred to; failure to touch the bag, due to be-
ing drawn off by a high, low wild throw;
dropping of the ball after having touched the
base runner due to the force Of the collision;
sliding of the base runner into the foot of the
infielder, instead of the bag and the overslid-
ing of the bag after having reached 1t in
safety
The fallaway slide is another point that
causes all kinds of trouble for the umpres
This slide is used by most Of the leading
base runners, and consists Of going straight
for the bag until within a short distance Of
it, then falling away, so to speak, by throwing
the body either towards the infied or outfeld
as best suits the occasion, and hooking one
foot under the bag. This slide makes it very
hard for infelder to put the ball on the
runner as it gives him only the sole of the
shoe, or as the players express it, only the
spikes to touch.
The baseball fans, however may be consider
ed pretty fair creatures and each year they are
getting more fairminded. l have noticed

Our Lords Baptism Finished at Cal


Our Lord for three and half years
was carrying out the conservation vow
which in Jordan He symbolized-bap-

came more deeply immersed into death.
That real immersion into death was
finished on Calvary. In harmony with
this the day before His death Jesus
said, 81 have baptism to be baptized
with. and how am straitened until 1t
be accomplished" The next day it was
accomplished, when He cried, 1T is
flnished~ His baptism into death was
finished.
The same thought the Master gave
to His followers, saying TO two who
desired places on His right and His

what ye asiw You do not know what
