UMPIRE O'DAY RANKLES REDS
sque'ches Cincinnati Players on
Bench When They Question Some
of His Decisions.

Those who set out to kid Hank
ODay take upon themselves a mans
job, for the veteran umpire always
retains firm grasp on his goat
and usually is able to silence his
critics with few well-chosen words.
At one stage of recent game at the
Polo grounds the players on the Gin
cinnati bench began to cast aspersions
on Hanks judgment of strikes and
balls, but they were stopped short.
Holding up the game for an instant,
O'Day turned to the Reds dugout and
said, with just tinge of sarcasm in
his voice: eff you guys can call 'em
any better than l can come out here
and try it. 1t seems to me that IL
your eyesight was as good as you seem
to think, you'd be in the game with
the regular players instead Of sitting
on the bench"
Whereat silence hung like a pail
over the visitors rendezvous.

ing Fletcher along in exchange for any
of them.
Injuries sustained on the eve of the
opening of the championship season
slowed Fletcher up in the first few
days of play and finally forced him to
fall out of line and allow Eddie Sick
ing and Al Baird to take turns at plug
ging the gap between second and
third bases. 1t irked him to remain on
the bench, however, and he missed
only six games. He was not in the best
Of shape when he reported for duty
after his brief lay-off, and even now
his back, wrenched in an exhibition
game in mid-April, bothers him when
he makes an unusually strenuous play.
yet his physical condition is only
family reflected in his work.
Since resuming his place in the line
up Fletcher has peppered the pellet at
a 1868 clip. This average is not par
ticularly remarkable one, yet when the
details Of his batting are scanned 1t
will be found that his hits have been
Of most timely nature.
IF Fletcher's batting has been of q
timely nature his fielding has been
doubly so. Of course he has booted
few grounders, but at critical mo-
ments, when the blocking of hard
hit ball has meant the checking Of an
incipient rally by the opposing club,
he has not been found wanting.

One Of the pleasing bits Of informa-

The season of 1919 marks Emslie's
twenty-ninth successive year as a Ma
tiOnal league umpire, as he came into
the league on August 10, 1891. ON Au-
gust 10, 1916, the National league had
quite a celebration in honor of his

vi the power plant. MAKE no mistake,
overheating, except for a local and
temporary cause, Is something to be
run down and remedied.
Some Of the Causes.
There are number of different
causes of overheating, some mechan-
ical, some functional and others due
simply to the bad driving Of the OPP
orator. One Of the most frequent
causes Of overheating Is simply driv-
ing with the spark retarded. When
the spark is held this way the piston
is on its way down in the cylinder be-
fore the explosion takes place. OBJ
giously more of the cylinder wall &c
exposed to the heat of the flame and
consequently the general temperature
Is raised.
Very often when car Is driven up
a steep hill it is necessary to retard
the spark to keep the engine from
knocking. BY the time you get to the
fop Of the hill the radiator is boiling
away like teakettle.
Most Common Cause.
OF all the causes of overheating I'M
dOubtedly carbon deposits in the cyl
inders is the most prevalent. AS a
matter of fact, carbon deposits cause
oyerheating simply because they cause
the explosions to come at the wrong
time. whereby too much cylinder wall
Is exposed with the results that I
mentioned above. When the engine
overheats, knocks and backfres, with
an obvious loss of power, it is safe
bet that there is a lot Of carbon In
the cylinders. The cure, of course,
is to have the carbon scraped or other
wise cleaned out at frequent inter-
walls.
