Bill Byron
By NORMAN E, BROWN.

Oh, he sings a lyric tenor
As he MARBLES Take your base."
And he cannot, will not baritone
That is uttered out Of place.
Having elected that from our
system we'll proceed with the pith
of the news we wish to convey.
It's rumored that Bill Byron,
known in baseball as 1.-THE singing
umpire" has decided to quit arbit-
ing and stick to hts winter job Of
steamfitting. The report has it
that Bill says he can make more
money doing his own knocking
with the hammer-than he can let
ting the fans do all the knocking.
If Caruso Bill quits the majors
baseball will lose one Of its best
known jumps.
Bill carries his title from his
habit of humming to himself as he
works on the bases or behind the
plate and the musical way in which
he calls 'em.
Bill broke into the National
league as an umpire from the In
ternational league. He earned a
rep in the International as being
a very firm imp who could back
up his decisions with his dukes if
necessary. Bills greatest feat while
in the minor circuit was the beat
ing he administered to the leagues
prime bully in the clubhouse after
a game. The bully person had said
some very unkind, personal things
to Bill during the game and Bill
arranged to settle the matter later
The bully agreed and Bill settled
the bully.
Bills rep and his caustic repair
tee when baited by the fans and
players brought him a heap O
trouble in the National league from
the outset, but Bill outlasted the
riding. In fact, he turned the ia
bles so completely in st. Louis that
fans there demanded he be kept
away. The National league refused
to bow to the fans and so did Bill
and he finally made the bunch like
him.
Byron's most serious battle in
the big league occurred back in
1917 when he got into an argument
with John McGraw following a
game between the Giants and Reds
in the Ohio city and McGraw drop.
ped the jumps.
When the war came on Byron
pulled his hat down over his gray
tipped hair and tried to get into
the service, first in the infantry and
then in any other branch in which
there was a chance for him to USE
his ability as a steamfitter or base
ball Jump. He was turned down
but was still looking for a chance
to aid his country when the armis.
tice was signed.

Ex.Service Men Knock Off
Score Of 60.

Although away off form and play
ing an unaccustomed lineup. the
Rock Island legion had no trouble
in winning the contest against a
town team from Sheffield at the
local Y. M. c. A. last evening. The
final score was 60 to IS. Sheffield's
men understood the game fairly
well, but we're able to show only a
small percentage OF the quality in
all departments of skill, of that
evinced by the Legionnaires. They
were slow, unaccustomed to play
ing together, hence lacking team
work, they missed many easy
throws at the loop, and couldn't
guard, as one spectator remarked,
worth a darn"
Consequently it was walkaway,
the Legion leading and hitting a
numbering pace. A small crowd
was out to see it. Johnson was the
principal point getter for the Wis
itors, as Erbstein was for Rock
Island.
The teams lined up as follows:
Legion-Erbstein and Taber f, Nor
ris C, Heimbeck and Axene g, subs
Shields for Erbstein. Sheffield
