play had a perfect right to throw
it anywhere I cared to, but the UNI
pire ordered me to the clubhouse just
the same. Then is when had an
argument coming. but not a chance
in the world"
''Then, why argue2" ! asked.
We'll" replied Jawn, there are
times when a man loses his head. So
far as calling an umpire Catfish or
such stuff as that, no player does
that with a mean intention. It's sim
ply a matter of losing ones equilib-
rum for the moment.
IF players never disputed an UNI
pire's work 1t would be rather safe
for the umpire and tough shedding
for the players.
II intend TO let out a yelp when
ever I think a yelp is due and take
the consequences.
There are two umpires who always
have their ears to the ground laying
for yours truly. Rigler and Klein
seem to have it in for me. If a de-
cision is questioned at third base, and
l happen to run in to see what's
doing, l am afraid to blow my nose

We'll, kid" he said, at does seem
foolish for a common, ordinary dub OF
a ball player to try to argue with an

assented and Heine continued.
Never again for mine"
That's what they all say and you
probably say it in your sleep" l re-
torted.
But Heine said: Nope, I have

end and say nothing
Il Halter myself that / am almost
as good a judge of balls and strikes
as is the umpire who judges them for
me. Well there YOU are, two men on,
and two strikes on you. The umpire
calls a third one that you couldn't
have reached with the center pole OF
a circus tent.
No Chance for Player.
Would you Jose your head? You're
human, and you'd probably lose three
days salary at the same time.
However a player knows he hasn't
a chance and he is making a chump
Of himself when he begins barking
at an umpire.
81 hereby take a solemn oath that
shall try to be good next season
and get back at the umpire by ham
mering the ban all over the lot and
stopping everything that some one
else tries to lose. That's me-"
