AS q matter OF Iact, Salu MT.
Mclean, "as a man gets older his
sight becomes clearer, especially
as to distant objects. When a
ball player says an umpire can't
see clearly they mean that he
can't see things clearly in relation
to each other. or as the ball player
wants them seen. The chances are
that the average umpire has better
eyesight than the average ball
player"
AS proof Of this statement, the
venerable Mr.. Mclean told Of an
incident that happened in Phila-
delphia thirty-odd years ago. He
had made several close decisions,
all against the Philadelphia club.
Harry Stovey and another player
came to the umpire's room after
the game to see Mclean, whom
they liked at heart.
Billy" Stovey said, I'VE know
you want to be square but you
ought to get out Of the umpiring
business because your eyeSight Is
bad"
you think so. do your" replied
Mclean. well, I'll tell you what
I'll do"
He tore off a piece Of paper the
size Of silver quarter and stuck a
pin through 1t.
Now you fellows go out in the
park and stick that on the fence at
any place that is visible from the
home plate. I'll stay here until you
have done so. When you are ready
I'll walk out to the plate and I'll bet
you a hat that ] will see that bit or
paper and point it out to you in half
& minute"
The players took the paper and
stuck it on the fence at the furthest
distance from the plate on the right
field fence. 1t seemed impossible to
be seen on account Of the fence
sloping away at an angle.
When all was ready the old UNI
p!re walked 20 the plate, took one
glance around and instantly pointed
out the bit Of poper.
You win" they admitted. After
that no one ever complained Of Nc
Leans eyesjsht.
A few years ago players com
planned of Bob Emslie's eyesight
and wanted him retired. They Of
fered, to bet him that If they placed
an apple and an orange on second
base he couldn't tell the difference
from the home plate.
II am taking a week off" Bob
told them, ''and when I return we
will try it,"
Mr.. EmSIie had taken the week
off to attend traDshOOting tour
nament i'm the Middle West. Four
days later the players were star
tied and Chagrined to read i'm the
papers that EmSlie had won the
championship. The apple and
orange experiment was never
tried.
'If umpires were charged with
their chances and credited with all
their correct decisions" saws Billy
Evans. II wonder how their years
average would stand with that Of
the ball PLAYERS. Ar umpire's eve

a flying ball and flving foot and

According to these umpires and
many tests that prove their state
ments, fully half Of the ma jor league
ball players do not know the rules.
Many Of them, thew say, have never
even read them. That, they contend.

Ossie Bluege contributed a mis-

the White Sox one run behind. AS
1t was Grouse Tailed and Mostil

With every set packed, behind
rones in left and right field stood
fuIly 5000 fans, and that entire
moD resembled Tnaniacs as Mostil

run was on second, victory in
