CEVERAL years ago notices that he had gained
- quite bush league reputation preceded the 'ap-
pointment of an umpire to berth on the American
League staff, and thought that he would prove
valuable to the JohnSonlan organization. The
duty of breaking in the recruit to the ways of the big
league was delegated to Jack Sheridan, dean of the
urnpires.
The youngster and the veteran opened the season in
New York More people attended that opening game
than the new umpire had been accustomed to seeing
during the entire in the league in which he for
merly worked.
The umpire who jumps from the bushes to @the big
show" the two major leagues known, is making
quite leap He has just many rough spots as the
player from the same organization fellow
pre for fifty years. and still be able to learn something
new about the work. As be expected the recruit
did number of things that did quite conform to
big league ethics. 1t the painful duty of the
point out these faults that the might
overcome the flaws in his work.
The wise fellow always accepts advice but does not
always it. The fellow who believes that he is too
wise to be told anything is lost. In making certain
decisions the umpire persisted in viewing the play
from very bad position, thereby constantly laying
himself open to criticism and making his chance of
dering an incorrect ruling much greater.
One day after the youngster had given an excellent
exhibition back of the plate, Sheridan believed that the
proper time had arrived to tell him about the things he
doing wrong After laudng his work for that day,
he shifted the conversation the game of the preceding
day in nice way, and pointed out the mistakes that he
believed the recruit had made. The latest addition
the staff listened until the finish; although he several
times displayed unmstakable signs of being much dis
turbed at what he regarded lecture rather than
talk for his good.
ave never did those things that way in the league
came from" said the recruit as Sheridan finished.
"But you are in the big league now, answered Sher-
dan, 4and there things you will have to do
differently if you want to succeed"
4That was pretty fast league l came FROM flashed
back the recruit, "and always go back there if
desire"
"You may get the opportunity sooner than YOU ex-
pect," replied Sheridan who by that time had become
sore.
Instead of taking the advice of an umpire who had
served for twenty years big Lacquer this recruit
resented the honest and well intended criticism of his
work. Sheridan simply doing what the president
of the league had instructed him do-tryng make

ageral stock slunps considerably and his ability at
spotting promising players is much berated When one
considers the many situations and characters That the
manager has deal with it indeed surprising that
more mistakes are made by these baseball generals
THE New York Americans tried out number OF
recruits last fall Scouts representing that club had
made arrangements for most of them to report mmedi-
ately upon the closing of their minor league season.
This system enabled Chance to get line number OF
the secured for the purpose of strengthening his
club Right here might say that Chance did not pick
up enough recruits with big league ability last fall to
make him pennant contender next summer Some OF
the sent made him wonder If some OF his scouts
were absolutely blind.
1t happened that of the recruits selected by the
baseball seuths for fall delivery Texas League
player who lived some place in New York State. Al
though this fellow came to Chance as youngster 1t
later developed that he thirty years DID, an age at
which most ball players classed veterans At the
close of his season wire was sent to him report at
once, and notifying him that transportation awaited
him at the station. Imagine what the owner of the
New York club thought when he received the following
telegram!
Refuse report unless transportation also forwarded
for my wife and two children.
This player evidently thought that big league clubs
were making enough money to look after the entire
family Chance smiled he read the message, and
he dictated the following the smile grew even
broader:
Have place for other members of family in the
lineup If you chance show. you better hurry
along supply of uniforms is running short.
The youngster who turned out to be veteran
ported the first train out of the Southern city in
which he had been playing 1t did not take Chance
long to discover that the players big league ideas

will probably be @dear old Texas for him again. for he

big league umpire out of a bush league
recruit.
Managers. players, and umpires will
tell you that that is the trouble with
many of the new men who join the
majors. They cannot see that there is
any difference between the major leagues
and the league in which they starred.
Most of them would argue that the
worlds champions did not have much
on their club of the preceding year, even
though it finished third in class D or
ganization. There is a difference be-
tween the minors and the majors, and
the recruit who comes to the big show
minus the idea that he knows all there
is to know about baseball is a wise young
man, and his chances to succeed are
given a big boost. The umpire who
refused to believe that Jack Sheridan
knew more about umpiring than he did
went back to the league he came from,
and last year he dropped back another
peg. He might be big Lacquer today
if he had had sense enough to listen to
Sheridan.
nNE of the biggest problems that con-
~ front a major league manager each
spring is the wedding out OF his recruits.
He often has a score of new men to look
over, many of whom he has never seen
in action, the scouts being responsible
for their presence on the training trip.
The duty of the manager is to make
study of these recruits, their habits,
manners, dispositions, and playing abili-
tv. Inside of six weeks he must have
