DISCUSSES UMPIRES
Dean OF American League Staff
Talks Of Baseball Arbiter.
Man Must Be Honest and Have cour.
age Of Observation-Disclosures Of
Game 10 Essential for indiea.
~ tor Holder.

"What's the recipe for successful
umpiring?' Is the quizz that was put
to "Silk" O'Loughlin the other day.
And the dean Of American league arbi-
traitors replied:
"Well, first of all, a fellow has to
be honest; he has to have the courage
Of his convictions, then an intimate
knowledge Of the game--and u genuine
love for It. He must have common
sense in abundance. Last, but certain
~ not least, man who aspires to
make good handling the indicator must
be a student of human nature and
must be believer I'm the theory, treat
others as you would have them treat
you"
Most players" continued O'LOugh.
lin, ARE as temperamental as prima
donnas. No two players are alike.
Therefore, an umpire who wants to
make good must learn the character
istics Of each man and then handle
him in the way that will eliminate a.
much friction as possible.
1.-THE fans who sit In the grand
stand have the opinion that the arbi-
traitor Is unjust toward some players
and favors others. Thft Is because
they are not fully cOnversant with con.
ditions. They have not made study
Of all as intimately as an umpire.
There are some players who attempt
to abb their own failure by Raging
the umpire; There is another type
which-odd though 1t may seem--bait
umpires merely In the hope Of getting
publicity as peppery. aggressive play
ers. Usually those fellows are given
the gate In q hurry when they start
to howl, because 1t Is obvious that
their walls are not slncere-that they
are attempting to pull some newspaper
stun for themselves.
"A star player Is easiest to handle.
Ty Cobb, fiery and aggressive though
he Is, has caused the umpires less trOu-
BILE than almost any man that wears
big league uniform today. Few great
er players have lived than Eddie Col
Inns. yet he rarely figures In the role
Of complainant.
