Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-10-12

Leave me tell the world that the
nIavfield coarse makes the Engineers
Club on Long Island look like a Dll-
lard table, and Alexandra oternns
must be a pretty fair female golIer
to make it in so. even if one OF the
Cleveland papers does call her Alex
A. Sterling.
The other game was what l have
uicknamed a duel between rival
southpaws, or lefthanders. The ROD.
ms has now had Is 2-s innings Of
buster Mails and they hope they
won't get no more of him. They
will probably get their hope. SherrH
Smith and the rest OF the hOoins
acted kind of grouchy towards TONI
nv Connolly all afternoon. They was
,ittle matter of $500 apiece in
Volved in some of Tommy's decisions.
and. as the Brooklyn players IS poth
older and more of them tnan .ie
Cleveland players. why naturaiy 'heS
have got more wives and klooIes anu anu
mortgages on the heavily morIgageo
farm So they thought maybe Tommy
would give them a little the best OIL
II on balls and strikes. To a I'M
martial and very ignorant opseI
It looked like Tommy was as IaIr
TO one side as he was to the otneI
and that ain't saying much His right
arm seemed to of suffered stroke
Of paresis during the night ana ne
d;den,t like to call strikes unless lne
hau was either Somewheres near lhe
nIate or the batter swang at II.
But. all and all. have watched .ne
work of the umpires pretty close
dwr;np the serious. and none of them
has been any better than the resi- VI
them and most of them not y as Sood
as the other three. Bill Dinheen 10
the only one who you might say mas
disgraced himself so far. Bin was
due to umpire behind the plate in sat
urdays game and his colleagues IS
very particular about their PERSONA
annearance on account OF umplres pc
ing unpopular enough Withou. iooh
ing like a rummy, SO tney ho'iSs
that Bills umpirinS pants had ran
ont of creases and they wasn't no
chance to get them pressed as it IS
still Yom Kippur in Ohio, SO they
signed a petition asking him to wear
another pair.
So Bill happened to have pair OF
street pants witch is the same ceru-
lean blue that agonized oase oaii re-
nuires the umpireS to wear when tney
are pretending to work, so he declded
10 mt them on But when Bill walks
around the st. in his trousers he don
wear no shinguards under them, as
never in his whole life has, man or
beast came up and dellperately k ich1u
him in the shins vile he was merely
walking up and down the st. So they
seamstress that made Bill st. trous-
ers didn't allow for no shlnsuarus
and the result was that when the SHIN
guards was stuck under them, the
trousers got all worked up. During
the last y of the Saturday game
IRill was wearing involuntary knick-
erbcckers and the fans and fanettes
was so busy admlrlng ms charins
that they couldn't look at the game.
Amongst those that seen today S
pastime was Benton Cy Young, the
old time pitcher that Hughey Fuller
ton claims to of discovered. and Sec
rotary of War Baker. Newt set up in
the upper deck and said it was one of
the best battles he ever seen from
closer than 5000 miles away.
Willie WambSganss and Elmer Smith
was called up TO the plate before the
game and presented with couple OF
watches for what they done in Sun
! days game. Elmer's alleged time
piece had his name engraved on it.
but when the generous jeweler
wanted the same thing done for
Wamby the>>engraver busted him in
