Now here's where McGraw got
in his fine work. He rushed up
to Umpire Byron, who had run
down to third base to make the
decision. and told him / had car
ried the ball to the bench in my
hand.
IF you don't believe it, 60 TO
the bench and make them give it
TO you" he urged Byron.
About this time McGraw's at
tention was. called to the ball
lying. in the base path. Up to
that time his back had been
turned.
That proves it," he said to
Byron. See! Wagner just
rolled it out"
Byron knew that something
unusual had happened. He
scratched his head. not knowing
what to do.
You're out !" he finally called
out to me, "for carrying the ball
to the bench in your hand"
Well, you can imagine the new
row that started We milled all
over the place. But Byron stuck
TO his decision. The game went
into extra innings and we lost.
Pittsburgh protested the game,
but the president of the league
decided against us on Byron's
written statement that / had car
ried the ball to the bench in nv
hand and rolled it out again.
| never did get over that de-
cision, If was so unfair. The
umpire, you see, never did ask
me where the bali had come from.
He simply took McGraw's word
for it because he didn't know
what else to do. McGraw started
the argument as bluff and went
through with it. He always
thought it good joke. That's
where he won by out-talking me.

crowd is present. The whole af-
fair is between him and the play
ers. The minute anybody tries
to get the crowd in-wel1, that
fellow is in bad with the um-
pires. He should be.
An umpire has a lot of work
to do. He must keep the game
moving rapidly so as to please
the crowd. He is what you might
call stage manager. 1t is up to
him to stage the show badly or
enjoyably. In addition an um-
pire must know the rules from
A to L and must be. so familiar
with their application that he can
make decision on the instant
and be right. A big majority of
players do not know the real fine
points of the rules. A whole lot
of them have never read the rule
book in their lives.
1t has just struck me that it
might be a good idea to select
an all-American team of umpires,
just as we do ball players. Later
on I'm going to name the best
ones during my time, and explain
why.
But to answer an inquiry-the
worst decision | ever saw was

made it on me.

arm where nobody could find it.

CHAPTER I3.
How the Umpire Looks to a
Player.
BY HANS WAGNER.

IMPIRING is feature in base
ball that never has been
given as much attention as it de-
served. To answer all questions
on umpires in one lump l can
truthfully say thats never YET
have seen an umpire who did
not try to be right and give the
plays as he saw them.
Oh, I've seen some pretty rough
ones, make no mistake about
that. But all these boys were
trying.
| onceswas fined SIS by a new
umpire when ] wasn't even on
the field. l had got day off to
go fishing. This young umpire
had q sort of half baked idea of
what the duties of an umpire
should be. The older fellows
had told him that an umpire must
first impress the players with his
authority-show them that he
was not afraid of them.
Well, this one started badly,
and, ! might add, finished quickly.
The players started riding him
from the bench. To show au-
thority he ordered two or three
of them off.
was getting little prominent
in base ball then, and this bird
figured it out that he would fix
himself solid by going after one
of the stars, so he said later.
That's going to cost Wagner
SIS" he yelled over to the Pitts
burgh bench.
He never did understand why
he got such laugh. He hadn't
been in the league long enough
to know the players by sight.
But sure enough, he reported to
the league president by telegraph
that night that he had fined
Wagner SIS. l got back from
the fishing trip and was so noti-
fed by the Office. To my mind,
that is the longest-range punish
ment | ever have had. The poor
fellow lasted just a week.
And He Asked Wilson.
Personally / always have
thought the umpires gave me a
square deal. Players all want the
close ones their way-no excep-
tions. At heart, though, they
know that unpires do not pur-
posely rub it into them.
/ remember one time the Pitts
burgh club was playing Chicago.
A long fly hit toward Outhelder
Wilson. 1t struck close to the
foul line, and the umpire called
it fair. There was terrible row
about that. We naturally said
it was foul
We surged around the umpire,
trying to make him change his
decision, but there was nothing
doing.
ASK Wilson, we begged.
Just ask him. He'll tell you.
Leave it to him."
We'll, be doggoned ii l don't
do it," the umpire surprised us
by agreeing.
"Hey, Wilson," we yelled as the
outhelder came in. "The jumps
says he'll leave it to you-was
that ball foul or fair?"
"1t was fair" declared Wilson.
Fair by foot"
If you ever saw a gang stink
back to the bench it was us. 1t
never had occurred to us that

have seen others who appeared

the visitors. But taking it all in
all, my experience has shown that
the decisions about break even in
the long run. An umpire cannot
please everybody, so if he figures
it out and pleases himself he
knows he has done the right
thing.
What the Umpire Has To Do.
A good umpire must be fear
less, confident and have good
judgment. He must follow the
ball closely and place himself at
the best angle to see the play
The most important quality,
though, is to be a good judge OF
human nature. He must not see
nor hear lot of little things
that go on around him. After a
little experience he knows the
difference between natural kicks
due to impulse and those that
are deliberately intended to show
him up. No umpire will ever
stand for being shown up. That's
why they will throw you out of
game for tossing up your
glove and will not bother you
for calling them names.
A good umpire forgets that
