THIS UMPIRE 3pe
 THE REAL ScRAPPER.
Met Trouble Cornins-Chased Fans to
 the Tall Timber.

Tim Hurst was some champion as an umpire-no doubt Of it. He met the ball players all sizes and all weights, and he lost but few decisions. The crowds. too. could not terrify4 Ishe stocky Tim and the occasion when he hurled a beer glass into the mob at Cincinnati is still fresh in many mem ories. says w. A. Phelon-
 There is an umpire in the game, however, who ranks as the real fighter of the whole arbiting profession. He is one of the few unlps who will head off trouble before trouble has chance to get him, and out in the American association burgs they thing he is the hope of the white race, the best of umpires and the greatest card upon the staff This performer is Brick Owens d big and sinewy young man, who has been the star indicator hand Ter of the American association Tor several seasons, and who has declined two or three offers to move into the fastest company
 Most unpires like most ball players move up from the smaller leagues. Mir Owens came into the association from a little league in the far west. and his promotion was a direct recognition of his scrapping powers. Out in Kansas, Nebraska and that vicinity life is far from pleasant for an umpire. If
 
 team, the unlp had best prepare for war. Usually the latter goes over the center field fence with the populace trailing along behind, or the local po- lice force escorts him from the arena.
 Not so with Mir. Owens. When he broke into that society he got along nicely for a few days. and then the. clouds began to hover Finally, at Arkansas City. trouble was as imhni-i nert as a porous plaster. Mir, Owens was warned that the Arkansas City crowds were in a direfuI humor and that he must watch out for his life. He grinned serenefy and went right on giving the decisions as he saw them.
 The next afternoon, with the bases jamned, an Arkansas City runner slid for the plate. ''Outl" roared MT. Owens and then the storm broke. Down into ths field came the maddened throng and they headed straight for the um- pire waving fists and splintering the air with wild Kansas ejaculations.s
 \ tall man with extra sprintiI1g ? powers outstripped the rest and reached MT. Owens first. Rather, MT. Owens reached him first The tall man fell heavily and several of the oncom- ing mob fell over him MT Owens planted good kicks upon the fallen ones and then rushed upon the multitude. Near the plate lay a bat, The bersaclx umpire grabbed the bat and charged upon the public.
 It Is not good to see a large red headed man with a bat-that is. when the red headed man is headed your way. The public stared for one second and the1 broke ranks. There must have been s05 men and boys in that umpire hunting throng but they turned tai and retreated like the flight from
