Of tho bleachers. =
Don't Bait the Umpire" was q
warning to baseball players. Were
the order to b obeyed generally.
there would be . better class Of
hall players, especially In the minor
leagues.
Tho common tendency 10 to pass
the responsibility Of ones own
mistakes and make him appear
ridiculous to the fans. Umpires
miss 'em they are but human), but
the players are to blame them
selves for nine out Of ten diamond
squabbles.
Glass will tell, just like blood.
The moment . ball player begins
to ride" an umpire he asserts Just
~ much ignorance IS the prisoner
before the bar Who tries to ride"
the Judge for his decision. Base
ball umpires are vested with IS
far-reaching powers, that is, COM
paratively. An umpire can not
send . ball plsyer to prison for life
II he becomes abusive. but baseball
his given him the power to impose
suspension and heavy fines.
There are quick tempers in all
classes Of the game, those which
fare one moment and cool the next.
But the rank and file Of umpire
baiters do not lose their tempers.
They ride" the arbiter because
they think it Is smart trick to
draw the sympathy Of the fans.
George McQuillan, new manager
Of the islanders, is a type Of player
that will reflect credit upon the
league. McQuillan has his own
ideals regarding baseball. They
are the best. The umpiring might
be as atrocious as it was last sea-
son, but that will make no differ
ence. It is foregone conclusion
that no Rock Island player will
bait an umpire as long Is McQuil-
Ian is manager.
THE SUBTLE WAY.
McQullIau set . good example for
the islanders. All told, he pitched
seven full games, winning five and
being compelled to take the respOn-
sihility q TIVE defeats. The play.
ers hehind him threw away the
first game lest; ridiculous umpir-
ing cost him tie second.
That second and last defeat con-
tanned . COED neral lessen to al
aspiring, ysung ball players. He
Q1iIlaa had bsen getting the worst
of the breaks from his players and
the umpires alike. Weir and Spade
were the officials, with the former
