cusable error? That is a question that Is

rule which gives the player the right to
appeal to the umpire and have any spec

the opposing team.
Prior TO the start of the game l had
little talk with Jack OConnor, who was
mana "ing the Browns. and Harry DAVIS,
who was directing the Athletes on the
field. I explained to them that l had a
very likely looking fellow with me- that
a good start might mean everything to
him. and since the race was over. i.
would do no ham if they would lay off
kicking. no matter what the new man
did. Both mana gerS readily agreed 10

Encouragement Made Pitcher.
There is a pitcher in the American
League who has as much stuff any
man in the business. This pitcher is
rated highly, but he is not nearly as
effective as he should be. simply because
OF his disposition. He is nervous. high
strung chap. who snaps quickly under
adverse conditions. Once upon time it
was regarded almost as a miracle if the
twirler in question went through nine in
nings of play. The pitcher always had
such feeling before starting his game.

The newspaper boys impressed upon the

the unklnd actions or random!
Sure to Affect Work
There is no denying the fact that con-
slant roasting has bad effect. For a
crowd to continually harass player or UNI
pire often seriously handicaps the work
of the player official 1t certainly
doesn't tend to improve it. For players
to be constantly kicking at the decisions
of the umpire ism going TO improve the
work of the judge of play. No two per-
sons connected with base ban, however,
are similarly affected by criticisms. which
is much nicer name for & roast. The
effect of the criticism is measured almost
entirely by the disposition or temperament
Of the player being cenSured.
Taere are any number of players who
can let criticism slip off, as does water
off duck. They are momentarily af-
fected, but they soon get back on their
feet and fight all the harder under 1.-The
abuse they are being subjected TO. Such
players are the chaps with the iron nerve.
Then there is another class of players who
try not to take the rawlings of fandoE
seriously. They figure that the men in
the stand and bleachers paid their money
to enjoy the game as they fit. and
if roasting player or umpire is their pet
diversion, then the very besf thing to do
is try to smile. Others desire to fight
back under griling. while good many
throw up the sponge. lose confidence. and.
unable to do either themselves or team
mates justice. seek a change Of pasture.
