made by Ban Johnson. is a ~Chlcagoan.
He is widely known among semi-pros,
where for several years he was a star
twirler. Back in 1915 he was a shining
light, and in the spring of the next
year he was with st. Paul in the
American association. Red jumped
that club, for Uncle Sam was calling
for help. Ormsby joined the marines.
lie was in several minor engagements,
but the big battle of his own little
career was in the Argonne. During
his engagement he was gassed. other
wise he escaped unhurt.
After his discharge Ormsby found
his usefulness on the ball field i'm
paired, but he loved the Etmes SO he
took to umpiring.
AL Tierney, president of the West
srn league. was induced to give him
a chance and Red made good from
the start. He served in 1921 and last
year, and did so well his appointment
to Ban %Johnson's staff resulted.
Ormsby has everything lin his fa-
vor. He is a big, strapping fellow,
with a voice that sounds like an argu-
nent between two lake steamers. While
he is absolutely fearless he's not of the
p~ugnacious kind.
Matty Fitzpatrick, who has umpired
In minor leagues for Is years, was
chief of staff when Ormsby broke in.
In fact, Matty gave Red his start.
Fitzpatrick declares him to be the best
piece of umpire timber he has seen
In years.

HoIloCher Also Clever.

New Workers believe Dave
Bancroft is the greatest short
stop in the game, but out in
Chicago the populace cannot
see Dave when compared with
Hollocher. Certain 1t is they
are the two leading shortstops
at the present time.
Hollocher, for one thing, has
a keen batting eye, which is at
tested to by the fact that he
struck out but five times last
year. He did not miss or have
a strike called on him until
Decoration day, when Bill Doak
slipped one across. During the
past three seasons Hollocher
participated in $40 games and
whitfield but 80 times.
That is a record for the keen
eyed one to shoot at.

preached to within a few yards

tossed its head. The ball came
rolling to the ground. 1t cost
McEvoy one stroke when the
