Manager Bobby Wallace of the
Browns tells how. Silk O'Lough-
lin pulled at his expense last sum
mer.
The Browns were getting one
of their trimmings, and as is usu-
al the players seemed to think the
umpires were helping make it
worse.
The game was fairly close, and
on three occasions the Browns
threatened to score only to have
runners retired on close decisions.
O'Loughlin was working the
plate and naturally came in for
criticism for giving the three
close plays against the team.
managers are more diplo-
matte than Wallace, He has a way
of making a protest that simply
makes the umpire listen. When
the first play went against the
Browns, Wallace wondered if
taiI-end team ever received the
benefit of close play. When the
second decision went to the visi-
tors, he quietly insisted that
O'Loughlin had erred. AS the
third play went the same way, in
sarcastic tone he remarked: |
MY club is bad enough, with
out you making it look worse by |
such decisions"

thing, it is the limit now" an

other end of the line.

"Why, I'm in charge of the
