And tOhen the chlorine gases rolled
AcroSs the poisoned chute,

And come back tUith the loot.
They murUslied at MS magic nerUe
And met him tOith a cheer;
But t0heH they brought the medals out

"Ihis stun Is merely play

Ny name is Hank O'Ddy"
Recently at the Polo Grounds a base
runner was sprinting for first base. The
inheld peg reached Mr. Pipp, of the
fanks. at least step and a half ahead
OF the runner. Yet the umpire called the
visitor safe. Immediately the stands rose
with howl of wrath, branding O'Laugh-
lin as the sole survivor of the Forty
Thieves But small section OF fans who
happened to be directly back Of first
offered no criticism For they happened
TO see, with O'Loughlin, that Plpp's foot
was at least 10 inches Off the baS. There
was no other way to call the play.
This testimony Is offered as a tip to
the intense and frenzied fanatic who Is
addicted to the habit of panning umpires.
The fact that the ball beats the base run
ner doesn't always mean the runner is
out. And only the umpire and a very
small percentage Of fans are focused
properly on the play.
