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 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 OF by high, low or. 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
infelder 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 umpires
This slide is used by most Of the leading
base runners, and consists of going straight
for the bag until within short distance of
it, then falling away. SO to speak, by throwing
the body either towards the inield or outfield
as best suits the occasion, and hooking one
foot under the bag. This slide makes il very
hard for infielder 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 fair-minded. | have noticed a

baseball will do to a man. especially II the

with the defective eyesight was getting an ex-

the decisions were going against the home
team. and he was so partisan In spirit that he
could see only one side Of the argument.
When you come to think It over. and
weigh carefully the cold facts, 1t is really
remarkable the work that devolves upon
an umpire during 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. 1t Is not to be
wondered at IL he errs Indeed 1t is remark
able that the judges of play do not slip up
more frequently. Here Is a little data that
is mighty interesting. Possibly perusal OF

batter
Should the batter strike out on three balls,
it would require three decisions II the bat

Of these creatures become nervous. weak

are rarely fatal
"The victim OF this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
without relief. This is not the fault OF
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one is not a victim OF tape

The most common symptom Of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food Is ioathsome.
