the defense, and prevent them get
ing an unprejudiced and unbiased
jury. He also insists that there is a
political motive back of the case,
claiming that the real reason the
district attorney is forcing a hearing
on Monday is to get it's allegations
before the public on the eve of the
election. The reason, Davis alleges,
is that it might have the effect of
driving votes away from Job Harri-
man, the union labor-Socialist candi-
date for mayor of Los Angeles, who
is one of the counsel for the de-
tense.
That Cages connection with the
defense in this case surprised the
prosecution is a certainty. When he
appeared in court yesterday the rep

with the defective eyesight was getting an ex.

When you come to think It over. and
weigh carefully the cold facts. II 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 376 and 400
decisions. Rather remarkable figures. Con-
sidering his arduous duties, It is not to be
wopdered at II he errs Indeed Il 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
as 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 score and ten batters
II has been estimated that the umpire makes
four decisions on each man. In these mod

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-
ouently the game resolves itself into a con-

batter.

mo question about his beating the throw"
answered Bill. "He was safe a mile, II 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 reasonable
doubt. -Four Of them have already re-
ferred to; failure to touch the bag, due to be-
ing drawn on 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 q short distance of
1t, then falling away SO to speak, by throwing
the body either towards the infield or outneld
as best suits the occasion, and hooking one
foot under the bag This slide makes It very
hard for an 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.
