Lack Of Even Disposition Is
Retarding Bullet Joe,
Umpire Says.

An even disposition Is great asset
to a pitcher" says Billy Evans, the
veteran American league umpire. 1T
means as much to him as ability. If
Joe Bush had the disposition of Walter
johnson or Grover Alexander. he would
be an equally great pitcher A mistake
Of the umpire means nothing in the
life of Johnson or Alexander. 1t may
upset Bush. An error or two on the
part Of the inficld doesn't fuss Alex
ander or johnson. 1t simply makes
them pitch all the harder. Such mis-
takes make Joe a bit peeyish. No one
realizes the fact more than Joe. have
talked it over with him several times,
and he admits his system is all wrong.
In his great desire to win, Bush Is in
clined to forget himself and fuss over
some incident that would be much bet :
ter II entirely forgotten.
Bush has speed equal to that of
Johnson or Alexander. He has a fine
curve, and an excellent change of pace
Bush is fast on his feet, a good hitter
and better batsman than most pitch
ers He ought to be talked about as
much as Johnson or Alexander. All he
needs to attain such prominence Is to
take things as they come. 1t cant
always be sunshine. There must be a
lot of gloom in everything. Often be-
fore Bush starts to pitch, / say:
Well. Joe, how Is your disposition
today
Never felt better in my life, Bill.
he has often replied. I'm not going Il

Tn many cases Joe has done as h,
said he would. although there would b.
ball after ball that might be callet
either way. Occasionally Joe woult
break over his good intentions and hi

the shift to Boston may be Just tn
thing Bush needed to make him one o

Help
Umpire Hildebrand Fined
$40 by Jumps Finney.

Sounds odd to hear Of one umpire
filming another OF his kind in a ball
game and yet that is what hap
pencd once to him. declares George
Hildebrand. one Of Ban Johnson's
staff. 1t didn't happen in the
American league, however. Hide
brand was the victim and it was
while he was an umpire in the Pa
cific Coast league. 1t happened like
this, according to ,Hildy:
Hildebrand was doubled up with
Finney. who Is still member Of
the Coast league staff. The game
was played at Los Angeles. Finney
was working the balls and strikes,
while Hildebrand was giving the
base decisions.
1t was "a bitterly fought game,
most OF the close decisions seemed
to be going against the home team.
and rs a result there was consid-
cradle kicking. The finale came
in the first half of the ninth In
ming. when Umpire Finney called a
visiting player safe at the plate
with the run that proved to be the
deciding marker OF the contest
The Los Angeles team of course
put up q strenuous contest, as the
one run margin doomed up mighty
big at that stage OF the game. Fin
ney was ready for the debating so
ciety. and as the home players ex-
pressed their opinion OF the deci-
sion and his cyesight, he made
known to them the cost of so ex-
pressing themselves. Fines rang
ing from five to Is dollars were
plastered on a half dozen players.
but the kicking still continued.
Hildebrand rather annoyed at the
delay, and believing that he might
render some assistance to Finney,
in stopping the argument. walked
up to the plate. Approaching the
crowd of athletes who completely
surrounded Finncy, he spoke In
surly manner, as he desired to con-
vey the impression to the players
that he was mighty sore.
Come on, F'inney. get the game
started. 1t Is beginning to resem-
BILE a farce comedy or a burlesque."
1T will just cost You ten for SO
thinking; You're not helping things
any with Your conversation" re-
piled FinneS. He had his back to
Hildebrand and thought 1t was one
of the players talking.
THAT is all 1t Is going to cost
me-" replied Hildebrand as he
hurried back to his position at first
base.
That speech broke M the protest.
Realizing Finncy's mistake in fin
ing Hildcbrand, they all enjoyed a
good laugh at the officials expense.
and forgot about the decision ut
the plate. In the dressing room
that evening Finney RENTED the
fine. but .iildebrand enjoys the
unique distinction OF being the only
umpire ever fined by his partner
In crime.

SOLDIERS OVERSEAS
NOR SPENDTHR|FTS

Whoever says Uncle Sans sol
diers overseas are spendthriftS IS all
wrong. The latest word from France
declares that our men in khaki over
there are practicing an economy that
makes the civilians back home seem
wastrels by contrast. The average
American soldier spends not more
than 20 cents a day, and makes that
modest sum pay for his toilet arti-
cles. his tobacco and sweets.
Nearly all our lighting men are
saving money. Many of them are
paying for the privilege OF fighting
for Uncle sam by buying Liberty
bonds and saving war stamps
enough to make the folks who aren't
fighting ashamed of themselves. Al
most all American soldiers send
money home on payday.
f. \. Hungerford, one OF the y.
NJ. c. A. men at the front who helps
the boys in khaki with their arrange
ments for sending money home, and
who is in a good position TO know
how their finances stand, writes back
as follows:
"The American soldier is the
thriftiest American alive.
Many Soldiers Very Frugal.
al have Liberty bonds, war saw
ings stamps, military insurance, and

folks back home. said an artillery
man who was in the hut last eve
ming. There are thousands of Uncle
Sans soldiers in France who can
truthfully say the same thing. They
Just seem to have good sense about
money matters. On payday the
rush is not to buy knick-knacks, but
to make some useful disposition OF
money.
~ want to send some money
home is a statement heard CON
stantly by the y. NJ. c. A. worker in
France. The 'Y' has purpoSely made
it easy for the soldier to send money
home. All he has to do is to leave
his money with the man in the hut,
get a receipt for it, and indicate the
name and address Of the person to
whom he desires the money sent.
The y. NJ. c. A. has arrangements
with banking institutions which
makes possible the rapid and mex
pensive transfer Of any amount OF
money to an ybank or person in the
states.
Our soldiers are thinking straight
about money matters. They are not
miSers. by any means, and they are
willing to spend small amuont on
things that go to make life more en-
joyable, but their chief thought is to
insure their economic independence
when the war over and they return
