IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT
CLEAR

1t came upon a midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth.
To touch their harps of gold:
Peace in the earth, good will to men,.
From heavens all gracious King,
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
o we, beneath llfe's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now for glad and golden hours.
Come swiftly on the wing;
o rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.

snappy "fouleder" are known the

gestures to indicate a player as safe or

The rules committee of the game
passed up the gesture idea when
many base ball followers were urging
the adoption of a uniform system of
making clear the decisions of an UNI
pire. but O'Loughlin continued his
methods with improvements.
He was born in Rochester, N. Y,
forty-eight years ago. His entry into
base ball came through the assistance
of a relative, stump" Weidman, a
former league pitcher.
After umpiring about New York
state he was assigned to the Atlantic
League by Ed Barrow, now manager
of the Boston Red Sox. who was then
president of that league. Later.
OIoughlin was with the Eastern
League four years, and in 1902 was
appointed by Ban Johnson as an
American League umpire.
Since the close of the base ball sea-
son last fall he had been in the serv-
ice of the Department of Justice and
was assigned to work in the Boston
district. His widow survives him.
