from the sport. Players must have a verbal outlet. Some of them are fight ing for their very baseball existence. All of them lare under a tremendous tension.
 When called out on a close or ques- tionable decision. a decision which they sometimes know to be dead wrong, it Is but human for them to explode and say something. The umpire, generally being the party nearest, usually is made the target of these explosions The player probably would just as soon cuss somebody else. Seldom is any thing personal intended.
 An athleteA who could emulate a clam and keep his trap closed on a close play in tight battle would be worthless and dead load to any ball team. The ump, in a way, by acting as the shock hbsorber of these verbal outbursts, is serving as a sort of safety valve for baseball, and therein performing one of his real functions. E Right down in his heart the average umpire knows. as a rule, that there is nothing definite or personal in the rav tngs of an excited baseball player. These ravings are as old as baseball itself. Most of the umpires once were players. In those days they said the same things to the umpires that they are penalizing players for today.
 Per contra, there Is much to be said on behalf of the umps, They, too. are under terrific tension,- and their ability for self control and repression is really remarkable That they do not "crack" eftener under the com bined criticism of fans and players is human phenomenon in itself.
 A much better plan from the publics standpoint would be for the umpires to

Fine. Not Punishment. For Tanning Umpire

THERE is 2 matter pertaining to
 baseball which has been paining us for number of years, and this seems to be as good 2 time as any to get 1t off our chest, writes Baseball Expert Harry A williams. For many seasons 1t has been the custom, for umpires to put ball players out of the game when they become un- duly sassy. We opine that this cus- tom, while ancient and honorable. is all wrong, or largely so.
 Getting down to tacks. can you im- agine anything more harmful to the general interest in baseball than the universal rule that gives umpires the right to put ball players out of the game lad libitum? Baseball is merely a form of public entertainment. Peo- ple. go to the games, not to see players fired, but to see them play ball. They put down their money at the box ofice in the expectation of seeing both clubs at their best and with their full strength in the field.
 No other form of fprofessional anuse- ment would crab it's own game in. this manner. Set the idea? Magnates 8QcuQ lRXbOA00 AO1 AA6A iCiooo OebA players It>is these which draw the fans through the tprnstile. They want to see these men in action, just as they line up at the box ofIice of theater in the belief that they will see the actors who have been billed. |
 It certainly would be a shortsighted theatrical impresario who would give any employee of the house authority to fire the star, performers off the stage To attend ball game in the hope of seeing your favorite player in action and have him canned in the first inning is not unlike taking the family to see Faust" only to have the orchestra leader or stage director chase F'lorencio Constantine off the stage almost before he has opened his vocal pipes.
 This is written largely on behalf of the fans who pay money to see the best that the magnates in turn have invested money to provide. At tho same time it may show up the crude ness or shortcomings of the present system.
 Going to the marrow of the question. what end is gained by ejecting any player from ball game unless he is guilty of some overt act which is dis tasteful to the spectators? The main result, 1t would seem, is to detract

banish players only when such an act is justified in the interests of the spectators. who do not want rowdy baseball, prolonged sq,labbles or sense- less grabbing. However. the average fan has not the slightest interest in any remarks which the player may address to the umpire sotto voce. but he does want fighting, scrappy game and a real run for his money.
 There is only One thing to be said in favor of the system of permitting the wholesale firing of ball players. unless their acts are, of a character to offend the fans. In the case of a manager who continually runs amuck and by word and action leads his men to the verge of mutiny, overriding rules and regulations in the hope of bullying his way to an undeserved advantage, to set down few of his star performers would have salutary effect and be in the interests Of baseball When a manager of this character finds him. self losing ball games through having his players benched he will immedi- ately calm himself and act the part of a real sportsman
 However, as a general proposition, the interests of baseball would be bet ter served if the players. instead of being fired, were made subject to . heavy fine for misconduct. the same to be collected from them personally instead of being paid by the manager or club owner. M
 Naturally the umpire must be al- lowed some latitude in deciding whether or not ball player shall re- main in the game, but for them to act too arbitrarily or develop strain of oversensitiveness can result only in harm to the sport
