The spacious confines of the in
closure owned by the City of Tampa
are TANNED To their capacity by the
EXHIBITS III connection with the an
nual South Florida fair. which has
been under way for a week. Clut-
tertng up all sides of the half-mile
track which surrounds the playing
field. and occupying the site of the
diamond itself are merry go-ruunds,
shoot-the-ChuteS, bandsLandS. hot doS
tents, peanut counters and the hun
dred and one booths and rdmShackle
lean-toS Incidental to the concessions
typical of State fair, including places
of habitation for all manner of freak
displays from bearded ladies to per-
forming elephants.
Fair Closes Tonight
The fair does not close until to-
night and no manual labor can be
obtained for Sunday, SO the pros
poets for having enough clear space
for the ball tossers to do their chores
by Monday is far from bright. The
worst of 1t Is that no bathing facili-
ties are available for the ball tossers.
The space under the grandstand
where their lockers formerly were To-
Gated has been cut up into cubby-
hole dressing rooms for the circus
performers and before the athletes
can move in the temporary partition
will have to be torn down and re-
placed. electric light and plumbing
connections made and fixtures for
heating water installed.
Miguel stoutly contends that il
would be suicidal to the we'll being
of his charges for them TO be put
through their PAGES with no baths
awaiting them at the finish, and as
no other Tubing facilities can be
provided II looks as if the dozen or
so irregulars listed to begin practice
Monday may get short respite, al
though President Griffith thus far has
refused to listen to any proposal that
the starting day be postponed.
Showers Greatest Worry
1t is the lack of showers for the
boys that Martin is most concerned
about. but Miguel has plenty of wor-
ries aside from that. After exacting
an assurance from the municipal
authorities that they would provide
the necessary materials for putting
the playing field in shape that train
er is bewailing the fact that none
of the many wagonloads of clay
needed for the foundation of the in
field. which has to be entirely re-
built, has been delivered. Nor has
the sod for the diamond. nor the
soil for top dressing.
All Miguel has to do is 10 see that
these materials all are at hand. that
the field is cleared of everything now
ircumbering it, and that d small
army of workmen with a steam roller
as part of their equipment transform
the much SCARED grounds into q
we'll groomed base ball field within
the space of a couple of hours Mon
day morning.
TT can't be done" says Mike, to
which Griff replies, Get EN- out
there and train EN- anyhow"
That's the way the situation stands
now

When Bill Dahlen played with the
Chicago team. he was also playing
the races according to his habit. 1t
was during a meet at Hawthorne
track that Dahlen decided he would
spend the afternoon there. The team
was playing, but the willy Dahlen
planned to get himself kicked out of
the game in the first inning and go
directly to the track. The first time
he came to bat he kicked on every
decision. Finally he permitted Tim
set about to abuse him in every way
he could. Tim only smiled:
Makes Him Play.
so you're thinkin' of gettin' run
out of the game, are ye, Dahlen? I'm
wise to yer game. Well, Dahlen, you

SO much ye won't have a dime to bet
on horse race for two years
Dahlen played nine innings.
Next to Tim the most colortul
umpire was Francis iSilk) OLoughlin.
Hurst was natural Snowman;
O'Loughlin a developed one. Silk -
always wanted to have the pitcher
get the first ball over. Four out OF
five times the lead-off man does not
offer at the first ball. If 1t was over
then silk got a chance to wave his
right arm in wide sweep and yell
strike. If he did this on the first ball
pitched. then he felt that his game
was well started. He was all set fol
the afternoon.
O'Loughlins best work was always
done on the second strike. Whenever
calling it he would yell, "Str-rr-r-r-ike
tuhhhh." He was famous for the
"tuhhhh.'
The only time l ever saw OLough-
lin really agitated was on an occa
sion when a newspaper printed u
story that O'Loughlin would loose his
voice. The constant strain resulting
from his "tuhhhh" had, according TO
throat specialist, so hurt his vocal
cords that they We're giving away. and
soon O'Loughlin would no longer be
able to talk above whisper. That
story seemed to make the end OF
the world for silk but the medical
expert was wrong and O'Loughlin re-
tanned his voice until he died.
Wears Red Shirt.
Silk" always wore a red wooden
shirt. In one of his first games as
an umpire. O'Loughlin gave decision
that lost for the home team. AS soon
as the game ended. the mob made a
rush for silk with the cry of xiii
the umpire" 1t looked as if they
meant it literally. silk" ran. He
went straight for the center field
fence. He cleared that, but with the
pack after him. The members of the
mob also got over the fence and con
tfnued the pursuit. Some. distance
from the park was a creek. When
OLoughlin reached the creek, the
leaders of the mob were close behind
so Silk" plunged into the creek and
started across. The mob. on the
shore he had just left, was throwing
sticks and stones-in fact, any avail
able missile. They fell all around
Silk" but none struck him and he
reached the opposite side safely.
silk" decided his good luck was car
ried in a red wooden shirt he wore
that day and he never umpired a
game after that without wearing a
red wooden shirt.
Ends all Arguments.
O'Loughlin had an original way of
ending all arguments with players.
