Affairs In Ireland take on less
turbulent aspect. The prospect of an
archy Is reported as bringing the fac
lions closer to an agreement. The
number of extremists is reported as
diminishing and moderates in all par

outbreak of all kinds of crime under

Ireland will never indOrse the bill with
any unanimity. The British govern

leasing the 10 Irish prisoners who
were on hunger strike after four had
collapsed and others were in the last

recruit umpire then proceeded to walk

as unpleasant as possible for the um-

at the appointment. Refused to ar-

Sailing tactics can make the work
of an umpire most unpleasant. If a
ball club for some reason becomes
peeved at the Judge of play. and de-
cides to show up the official simply in
the spirit of revenge. it is possible to
make things decidedly uncomfortable
for a couple of hours. or course, the
umpire has a weapon that he can hold
over the head of the players, the for
feiture of the game. but he hates to
resort to such drastic measures un-
less absolutely necessary. In for
feiting the ball game he fails to give
the spectators a run for their money,
so naturally he tries to avoid such
happening.
A few years ago, just how badly a
ball club can make an umpire look,
was forcibly brought to my attention
by the way a certain club acted
toward a recruit umpire. who was
breaking into the big show. NOW
the biggest asset an umpire can have
is the confidence of the players. III
he has the confidence of the athletes.
he can often get away with very
poor ruling, simply because the play
ers on past performances know that
the decision was honestly given With
out fear or favor, and that the UNI
pire simply booted" it. Such confl-
dence can only be won by years OF
actual performance in which the UNI
pire rigidly follows such rules.
1t so happened that the recruit um
pire had been having his share of
troubles with this certain club. 1t
always seemed that every close de-
cision that came up on the road with
the new umpire working went
against them The players to a man
got the notion that the recruit was a
home umpire. although ] feel sure
they were absolutely wrong in such
a. deduction. The blow-off came in a
rather important game which we
were working at Boston. Late in the
game, the eighth inning. 1 believe
the recruit umpire working the plate
called a Boston player safe at the
plate on a very close play. The game
had been hotly contested, the score
at the time was to 2, and the close
decision broke the tie. as well as the
strain under which the two clubs had
been playing.
No sooner had the decision been
given than all the visiting players
began to flock around the umpire
He was a little fellow, and from my
position at first base l lost sight of
him as the players gathered around
1t took about fifteen minutes for the
smoke to clear away. The umpire
would have been justified in forfeit

Probably he would have been better
off had he done SO. He put out the
