HeiSman GiveSAdvice to UmpireS
9 Q O @ 9 & @
ArbiterS Should Follow Plays

fronts an umpire every time he has
to make a base decision where the
runner only got the base, if at all by
a clever slide around behind the
baseman and the latter had hard
time getting to him to put the ball
on him. Both players will try to pull
the wool" over the umpire's eyes by
their actions, which should be strict
ly disregarded. The only way to make
sure that your eyesight alone shall
be the test of whether the man is out
or not is to run close up on the play
and BE ON HAND so you can see for
yourself
Many first basemen have a habit
of pulling their heel off the bag be-
fore they catch the ball. An UNI
pire should be careful to note wheth-
er the first baseman's foot is in con-
tact with the sack at the instant of
catching the ball or not. He should
also be sure to follow the course of
the runner all the way around the
diamond and observe whether he
touches all the bases. Most umpires
are watching the fielding of the ball,
which is really none of their affair at
all, instead Of watching what the base
runner is doing The ball will come
in all right some way or other, and it
is proper that you should have your
eyes on what is happening on the
bases rather than the way the out
fielders are getting the ball back into
the diamond.
Umpires must also take firmly in
hand the matter of spectators crowd
ing out toward or upon the diamond.
If he can not get them back himself
he should hold the home management
responsible for this disorder, and, aft
er giving them a reasonable time in
which to get the spectators back, he
should notify them that unless they
succeed in clearing them away with
in two minutes more he will award
the game to the visiting team.
Arbiters Should Know Rules.
Umpiring is like playing in one re-
spect, and that is that the more eX-
perience one gets the more proficient
are they apt to become, That and
these few hints may be Of much
benefit to one contemplating doing
some of this work; but above all
make sure that you know the rules.
You may think you know them be-
cause you have a general idea Of how
the game is played. but anyone who
thinks they know every rule in base
ball will do well to go right out and
buy a rulebook and read it through
very carefully from beginning to end,
and if they don't find at least a dozen
things in the game that they never
heard of before the circus lemonade

ST. PAUL. MINI. July 5.-The
Gibbons brothers of st. Paul are not

notchers in the squared circle. for no
less a parsonage than Gunboat Smith,
at present leading figure in the white

fame from this State. "Gunboat"
Smiths real name is Edward Eckblad
He was brought up in Milica Town
ship His mother, who is now Mrs
Rosen. still lives in that township.
Young ECkblad is well remembered
in Milica Township as a sturdy young
fellow, always handy with his fists
and of an adventure loving DISPOSE
ton. Many stories are told of his
prowess with his dukes" at little dis
agreements such as occasionally
arise at country dances.
The monotony of life in the country
did not appeal to him, and in 1908
his eye was caught by one Of Uncle

joys OF life in the navy, showing
groups of young tars and non COM
missioned officers standing around
apparently with little to do.

Thomson Will Face
Many Good Rivals
Plat Adams, Mercer, Donahue and
Other Stars to Compete Against
Present Champion.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July s.
With the entries for the all-around
championships, which will be held
here on Bovard Field July H. the out
look for the coming event is exceed
ingly good. Many coast athletes who
could undoubtedly have made good
records in all-around championships
in years past are taking the oppor-
tunity to enter the coming classic and
that Fred G. Thomson, the present
champion, will have to look for his
laureIs in the coming event goes with
out a doubt
Probably the most serious contend
ers for the present champion Will be
Mercer, the phenomenal Quaker, who
has startled the Eastern critics with
his work of late; Plat Adams, of the
New York A c.; James Donohue, OF
the l.. A A c.; Ed Beeson, of Cali
fornia, and Ollie Snedigar, the
Olympic Club representative. All of
these men are fi~st-class performers,
better in some events than in others,
but can hardly be given credit as
such first class performers as Thorn
son until they have shown in the all
around tryouts.

CARNEY PUTS IN FIRST
CHALLENGE TO PLAY De ORC

ST. LOUIS, MO, July 5.-The next
match for the worlds three-cushion
championship will be played between
Alfredo DeOro and Joe Carney.
Frank Benson, the local billiard i'm
presario, received word Friday morn
ing that Carney, the Denver cueist,
had placed his challenge ahead of all
other performers, and would meet De-
ORC when the fall season starts in
September
1t was thought that John Horgan
would attempt to regain his laurels
ahead of anybody else, after losing to
the Cuban out in San Francisco last
April, but Banker Jawn" now will
have to wait until Carney and DeOro
play
Carney was the carom expert who
surprised the billiard world by de-
feating DeOro about a year and a
half ago. Had DeOro won that match
he would have secured possession Of
the diamond trophy. Carney's first
match as champion was with Horgan
and the Sixth Street idol won with
ease.

Reds Are Composed
Of Young FASTENERS
Cincinnati Expert Ridicules Yarn
That Club Is Home for Aged
Ball Players.

CINCINNATI, July 5.-Criticism
was made on the personnel of the
Cincinnati Reds recently that the
players are too old to deliver the
goods and that that is the reason why
they have occupied last place so long.
The critic declares that the Cincin-
natl club was an old mans home and
could never win until new life was
instilled into 1t by the substitution
of young men for the alleged old
timers" who were said to be clutter
ing up the field.
Investigation shows that nothing
could be further from the truth. AS
a matter of fact, the Reds, as now
constituted, are one Of the youngest
clubs in the league.
Joe Tinker naturally is the oldest
man in the regular lineup, and Joe
is only 80 years old, and as fast as
he ever was. Hoblitzel is only "a,
though he has four years Of expert
ence as a major league first base
man.
Heine, Groh is a youngster and 50
is John Dodge, the latter having just
passed his twentieth birthday. The
infield is the youngest in the league,
for if Almeida plays third he is only
%, and does not bring the average up
very much. In the outfield Bob Besch-
er the oldest man out there, is only
28, while Josh Devore is "a and Mar
sans 25.
Some of the pitchers and catchers
are older men, of course, which is as
it should be John Killing, the veteran
of the club, is 81, but still in excel
lent form. Tom Clarke. who has
been doing most of the work behind
the bat this year, is only "a, and Earl
Blackburn, the third backstop, has
Just turned 20.

note to Mrs. Dane containing regrets
for the dinner, then dressed and hur-

"Shurre, and you're a stranger

tne maid who opened the door. AS
she went upstairs to call Miss Glea-
son her round Irish face reminded him
Of CHEEKY full moon. He glanced at
the worn old haircloth sofa, and CEN
ter table strewn with magazines, the
familiar shabbiness of the little par
lor made the past year seem as unreal
as a feverish dream.
When Alice entered she seemed to
bring with her an atmosphere of Sc
renity and peace. Eagerly he rose,
then sank back on the sofa, his face
went white and everything blurred be-
fore him.
What is it, Edwin, are you ill?" she
cried, in her alarm the old name
slipped out uneonseiously.
He passed his hand over his eyes in

His voice sank almost to a whisper,
and for one tense moment there was
silence in the little room. Then, by way
of answer, she drew the poor, tired
face against her breast with a ges-
ture Of ineffable tenderness.
In that moment Lander felt that to
his weary questionings as to what was
worth while, the answer was not ma
terial success, but love which means
life in its fullness.
