championship teams.
For wears, after the close Of the
college baseball season, HUH put IN
the summer scouting for some major
league ball club. Naturally his duties
carried him to all parts of the coun-
try. He saw baseball us it is played
and umpircd under all kinds of cen
ditions. Huff, always believer tfat
the word Of the umpire Is final ana
should never be disputed, is Of the
opinion that he saw the most unusual
decision ever made by Il baseball UNI
pirc.
The decision was made at nine
o'clock in the evening from the third
story window of hotel. 1t came
about four hours after the game had
suddenly been terminated by de-
cision that failed to please, Yet it
seemed to satisfy most of its hearers,
However. will let George Huff tell
