Baseball Umpires Dislike
 Calling the Third Strike

Hesistancy on the part of una- ptres to call third strike is causing many of the wrangles this season. An umpire hates to call the third one, and unless a pitcher cuts the plate he is likely to find the umpire calling 1t a ball.
 Pitchers rarely cut the plate. They work for the corners. The umpire gives them the corners until the batsman has two strikes and then the umpire calls the same "corner'' balls bad.
 Bill Evans "gives'' the pitcher the corner after he has two reason pitchers would sooner sec Evans behind the plate than any man in the league.
