Umpire Pete Harrison is dead.
The gruff. but human-hearted Ma
tional league arbiter passed away
yesterday at Saranac Lake. a vic
tim Of the dread white plague. 1t
must have been disquieting news
for Christy Mathewson, a fellow
sufferer, for Pete and Christy were
the best of friends.
Harrison was always . sticklef
for rigid discipline ON the fed, and
for this reason he ruled out more
players in = season than any Of his
fellow umpires. But Pete was 50
strong for the constructive ele-
neats of the game that he was
known to have paid many Of the
players fines out of his own pOck-
ct rather than contribute to . row.
Like Billy KLEIN. Pete got his
start in the New York State league.
Klein incurred the fans displeas-
ure and lasted less than a month.
Harrison found the going rough,
too. In those days Klein couldn't
control his temper and would razz
back. at the fans. Harrison was
never known to address anyone
other than a player.
Harrison, next to Billy Evans,
was regarded Is the best interpret
er of tho baseball rules. He never
wavefed from q decision. He was
supreme in matters of snap judg.
neat BY his undmely death, the
National league has lost enc Of its
balWarks for the general good ei
the game.
Your old friend, Adrian c. Pop
Arson, still fingers in the theatri-
