-FOUR UMP|REs HAVE
HAD LONG EXPERIENCE
KLEIN, RIGLER, OLOUGHLIN AND
EVANS ARE FOUR OF THE BEST
KNOWN UMpI2PS IN THE BIG
LEAGUES.

The umpires appointed for the worl;
series of 1917 are William J. Klein
and Charles Rigler, National league
and Frank O'Loughlin and William G
Evans, American league. All of thes'
have had considerable experience a:
, arbiters of play in the worlds cham
pionship contests. This quartet work
ed together in 1912, when the Boston
Red Sox defeated the Giants in the
memorable eight-game series, and
again in 1915. when the Boston Amer
cans won four out of five games from
the Philadelphia Nationals. Now for
the third time they have been chosen
to act together. calling balls and
strikes; making decisions on the
bases, and watching the foul lines
each in his turn as the series pro-
crosses.
Klem's first experience in the big
baseball feature was in 1908 and since
that time only two worlds flags have
been won, without his having been
connected with the games in his off
cial capacity. The exceptions were
the battle of 1910 and last year. So
that the coming series will be eighth
il which he will have taken an active
part.
OLou2hlin ante-dates KLEIN in
world series history as he was one of
the umpires in the Chicago series of
1906, when the White Sox beat the
Cubs four out of six games. He Off
ciated again in the 1909 series be-
tween Pittsburg and Detroit when
the Pittsburg Nationals shut out the
Tigers in the seventh game and won
the championship. Then in 1912 and
1915 he was active and the coming
contest will mark his fifth appearance
in the world series.
Rigler also will officiate for the fifth
time in a worlds championship strug~
gle, when he steps out on the diamond
at Chicago. In 1910 together with
ConolIy, ODay and Sheridan, he UNI
pired the series between the Athletics
and Chicago Nationals. In 1918 he
was appointed for the New York-Phila
delphfa series, while in 1912, and
again in 1915, he and the other three
umpires who are officiating this year
worked together
Evans had his initial experience as
world series arbiter in 1909, when
he worked with tombstone, Klein and
Evans, in the Pittsburg-Detroit series.
Then again in 1912 and 1915 he and
his partners of this year made up
the umpiring staff, which has been re-
appointed for a third term The as

A Song of the Sea
BY ANNA sANBORN.

When the dying embers Of the setting
sun
Are mingling with shades Of night,
And the milky way casts her emblem
Of stars
Ger the heavens to soften twilight,
The cold, gray rocks rise IN malicious
glee.
In the path of the steamers wake,
And the waves writhe in foam, as they
think OF the fun
OF the wreckage their depths shall
make.
Full many year drifted over her
crests.
Rove wealth buried deep twhers IL
grew:
And many an elf combed their -tresses
Of gold
With opals and pearls OF her hue.
And rnany mortal found peace at her
feet,
And was sung to sleep by her moan
Yet lis ever thus she allures with her
charms
To rejoice in destruetIon,-alono.
Her indolent tide has borne many a
king
To victorious warning and strife,
Aud many beggar has crossed her
vast width
In seeking the newness Of life.
She has surged down the ages, in
Lcauty and strength,
Her blllOws with history lnnamed,
The most cruel Of tyrants; the meek
est OF men;
The lovliest vision ere named.
And thus she Will ride through the
ages 10 come
And never grow old, It may seem:
The sage and the poet shall sing Of
her charms
That make the whole world Just a
dream.
The sun casts its gold O'er her saphirio
blue
That varies to grneraldic green;
The moon covers all with her soft sil-
yer wand,
And the years pass-fOrgotten, TN
seen.
