HORNSBY EXAMPLE
TO YOUNG HITTERS

DETROIT, Aug. Those players
who become discouraged when they do
not bat well should take heart from the
career of Rogers Hornsby. asserts H.
G. Salsinger, Detroit sports scribe. He
broke into the major leagues ten years
ago, coming from the Denison club in
Texas, where he batted PIT. In his
first year with st. Louis, 1915, Horns
by batted .246, and decided that he
would not be able to make good in the
big leagues because of his inability to
hit. He thought he would never learn.
And now Hornsby, who has led the
National League for five years in
row. is regarded as the greatest hitter
in the game.

KLEIN RECALLS.
HIS DEbUT
IN 1888
Umpire Fined EN- in Those
Days, Too-Ineluded
Owners.

William J. Klein, National League
umpire, is one of the few living links
that the modern game has with the
baseball that was played twenty-five
and more years ago.
Klein is serving his twenty-first
year on the National League staff and
in point of service he has only one
superior-Hank 0'Day.
Baseball has changed since Klein
took up the mask and protector as
his badge. 1t is recalled that he UNI
pired his first professional baseball
game at Waterbury, Conn.,, in the old
Connecticut League in 1905, at
time when the league had for its sec
rotary. James O'Rourke, former
Giants catcher. O'Rourke, then 54
years of age, owned, managed and
caught for the Bridgeport team in ad-
dition to his league secretarial duties.
1t was said that he also acted as his
own groundkeeper.
THEM WAS THE DAYS"
Shortly after joining the league,
Mt a time when umpiring was a most
precarious sort Of livelihood. Klein
was assigned to game between
Bridceport and Hartford. The game
had not progressed two innings before
the Bridgeport shortstop began 10
tread on his toes in protest over de-
cision.
"ThatIl cost you five" said Klein.
Huh" responded the shortstop,
.glancing significaliy at O'Rourke, Il
had lots Of those things put on me
but I've never paid one yet"
Well" said Klein, you'll pay this
one and get out of the game besides"
The shortstop left the scene of ac-
ton. 4 pitcher was put in his place
who proceeded to boot" the game
away O'Rourke, indignant at Klem's
high,handedness, spent the next few
innings in addressing Klein while
catching.
FINES THE OWNER.
There" exclaimed O'Rourke, in his
rich Irish brogue, while solemnly con-
tinuing his operations behind the bat.
"You see what you've done TO US.
You're naugh but a lonfer, Mr.. Klein.
THAT will cost you five, too" said
Klein, taking off his mask, which by
the way, belonged to the catcher
whose team was ut bat at the time.
This was something unique TO
O'Rourke. The idea of filming league
secretary had never been thought OF
previously. O'Rourke danced in rage
and finally danced himself entirely out
Of the game.
Shortly afterward he had the doubt
full pleasure of announcing and pay
ing his own fine.
