That there are 20 decisions to render on
balls in the Immediate neighborhood Of the
foul line during the ordinary game is con-
servative estimate. The decisions are often
a matter of inches and many times change
the entire complexion of the game.

balls and strikes, 20 DECISIONS on fair and foul

to drop the ball Had he held the throw,
Baker would have been an 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 Barrys hands"
He got back but not to the bag" replied
Bill. Barry had him blocked of. and Birmy'
slid against Barry's SHOE not the bag He
hasn't touched the base yet
Just one more, Bill. Why was Jackson
out at third? 1t looked as If he easily beat
Catcher Lapp's throw in attempt to keep
him from stealing"
mo question about his beating the throw
answered Bill. HE was safe a mile, If he
ha6a't overslid the bag three or four inches and
allowed himself to be touched out before he
was abe 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 reasonable
doubt. Four of them l have already re-
ferred to; failure TO touch the bag due to Be
ing drawn off 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
infielder, instead Of the bag and the overslid-
ing Of the bag after having reached it 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 infield or outfeld
as best suits the occasion, and hooking one
foot under the bag. This slide makes it very
hard for an inf1elder to put the ball on the
runner, as It gives him only the sole of the
shoe, or as the players express 1t, only the
spikes to touch
The baseball fans, however, may be consider.

ing through a knot hole" The fan said nary
a 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 thoroughly disguised with
himself. He just began to realize what he
had been doing throughout the afternoon.

silk" almost keeled over when he heard
the news. 1t simply goes to show what
baseball will do to a man, especially II the
home team happens to be losing. This chap
with the defective eyesght was getting an ex-
cellent umpire into trouble because most or
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, it 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, 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 little data that
is mighty interesting. Possibly perusal OF
it may cause the umpire to receive more IA
vorable consideration
In nine inning game on an average OF
35 men on each team will face the pitcher,
making 70 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 score 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.
tnual 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 many decisions. Often
the count before the batter is finally retired OF
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
