A Bold Umpire.

Manager Win Clark of the Norfolk
team tells the latest umpire story. 1t
is on J. Ira Davis. better known as
Stats. Davis has been an umpire for
ten years in various minor leagues.
He has been noted for his eceentrici-
ties.
Davis was umpiring a game for us
at the latter part of the season." says
Clark HE didn't stand any too well
with the fans and didn't seem TO care.
He began umpiring behind the bat and
then worked behind the pitcher. The
crowd kicked on a second base de-
cision, and he took his stand behind
second base. Finally there was a dis
pute about a foul bali hit down the
right field line and Davis took his po-
sition In right field Then the bleach
critics went at him. Why don't you
stand where you can judge the balls
and strikes, you stiff? yelled one.
Well said Davis, you guys can UNI
pire a game from the right field seats
and never make a mistake. Why can't
umpire as well In right field?"
