MANY UMPIRE EATERS. Arbiters Had Several Opportunities to Banish Boisterous Players.

The teams in the National league last year which made least trouble for the umpires were the Giants and Cardinals. All of the times in which players got into trouble with umpires in 1912 are not available, the complete record as reported by the unpires being known only to the National league executive office. To the cases of players being chased to the bench for illegal coach ing or something of that sort little at tention was paid by the spectators. but most Of the cases of managers or players being put out of games, sus- pended or fined, were matters of pub- lie news at the time and from these fair idea can be had of the way the kicking was distributed among the teams.
 Of the New York and St. Louis play CTS six of each some time or other were chased out of the game for kick ing of various degrees. The Brooklyn club had only five men removed from the game, but the activities of Bill Dahlen in kicking at umpiriaI decisions brought the total number of Brook lyn removals up to 12. The Giants had only nine of these totals and St Louis only eight.
 It was not wholly an angelic crew that the Pirate boss Freq Clarke pilot ed, and the Pirate boss himself cut up considerable rough a few times, and as for the Pittsburg team in it's en- tirety eight different players were chased from the field for total of 12 times. There were nine Cincinnati players banished for a total of Il times seven Cubs for total of 15 times, seven Bostons for a total of il times and last but by no means least seven Phllfecs for total of 16 times. The Brooklyn players to encounter the hook besides Dahlen were HummeI, Northen, Stark and Smith. each being sent to the clubhouse once. Dahlen was sent to exile seven times and on another oc- casion was suspended and fined $10o fNy. e eov.o !, D f<~1e 41z> Polo grounds.
 The 1912 chronicles appertaining to the Reds account for the removal from the field of Grant and Bescher twice each, Bates, Hgan, Esmond, Mclean, Mitchell, Phelan and Peitz. -Bescher was out once for three days and pre- sumably indulged in talk that was too strong for the umpire's ears. Egan was another who got three days. Hank O'Day to his credit, stuck to his word and did not pick on umpires. He ac- cepted thei rulings like a sportsman. The conduct of Fred Clarke was such than twice he was sent from the field, and he incurred one fine of S25. Don lin was chased three times Gibson once, McKechnie once, Mccarthy once, Rehg once, Viox once and Wagner once
 MoGraw was in trouble early in the season, but for the greater part of the year his conduct was above reproaeh, and none Of his lnfrequent clashes with the umpire were accompanied by the use of bad language. He and his team conducted themselves in a more exemplary manner than most of the clubs He was removed from the field twice during the season, and on one fthe occasions ran into a five-day of the occasions ran into a f1ve-day for kicking; Fletcher was sent from the bench once for rough talk; Meyers was sent from the field three times; Merkle once and Wilson once.
 Chance, Tinker, Evers and Zimmer- man were often in hot water with the umpfres. Chance was sent from the field three times for kicking and un- parliamentary language. For bad talk and throwing sand down an unpire's neck, Evers was suspended five days and fined $50, and on two other oc- casfons he was put off the field, Zim- merman was put out of the game four times, and his actions once were so raw that he was fined $100. Tinker was banished three times, Downey once Miller once and Sheckard once. a dozen different occasions was re- quested by the umpire to vamoose the ranch. Club colleagues of his who felt the heavy hand of the umpire and who were sent from the field were ChaI- l rners once, Knabe once, Killifer once, 1 Paskert twice, Seaton once and Walsh l four times.
