n HICAGO, ILL, Sept. 25.-What
shall 1t profit a man though he
nag the umpire and have the
glistening tinware tied to his flying
coat-tails?
In other words, Whats the use?"
What's the use of nagging the UNI
pire when he won't take your abuse2
What's the use. oh, what's the use?
During the present baseball season.
soon to be the late lamented Manager
Jawn EVers has been banished to the
shower bath so often that in walk
ing out on the diamond he has al
most met himself coming back.
The same is true of Heine thinner
man.
Both Evers and Zimmerman are
being paid for playing ball but on
many and divers occasions they have
been compelled to play the game from
the clubhouse door or from the grand
stand for reasons as many as they
are varied.
l have watched this game of "out
you go" so often that finally decided
to gently approach both Jawn and
Heine with the timely but delicate
question Whats the use?"
Says It's Part of Managers Job.
The Trojan was my first victim
and l nabbed him just before he was
ready to enter a recent game with
the Philies. He had been talking
with President Murphy and his
classic features were Wreathed in
smiles. Probably had just learned
that he would be on the pay roll next
year.
At any rate. those smiles faded
and a frown fitted over his brow when
l shot the question at him: "Jawn.
what's the use of arguing with an
umpire when you know he has il on
you right off the reel?"
Jawn looked at me with sort OF a
plying expression and said:
Where do you get that stuff
What's the good Of carrying a losing
case into court? You know that it's
a loser when you hire the attorney,
but thousands of dollars have been
wasted on hopeless cases lost before
they reach the court.
Il am frank to admit it doesn't pay
to kick about a decision. As they
say in the bush leagues An umpire
can't change his decision but at that
a player can make an umpire feel
pretty cheap when he calls attention
to a bum decision"
yep, Dut why KICK at all When you
know its CinCh it's going to be the
clubhouse for yours and maybe three
days off" ! persisted.
Jawn then waXed slightly bellig-
erent and replied:
Il consider it a part of my man
agerial duties to protest certain points
of the game. For instance, last Sun
day. I was put out of the game for
throwing a ball over the grandstand
when it had already been declared
out of play.
Has Kick Coming.
Il was first accused of soiling the
ball when. in fact. it had rolled fully
200 feet over grass and dirt before
my hands touched It, Thus. l had a
kick coming right then and there.
