four runs that followed.
Baseball is often segame of alibi
and the umpire is the chief target
for most of the "it-might-have-
BEEN stun.
However, greatly enjoyed my
twenty-five years as an umpire in
the American League. That may
sound rather strange, since of all
professions that of umpire often
seems the least enviable.

ESSENTIALS OF UMPIRE
r HAVE done my un1piring on the
l. theory all ball players are gen.
tlemen and should be treated &C
cordingly. I am pleased to say that
in only few instances have I been
disappointed.
In umpiring, the greatest possible
asset is the confidence of the ball
player.
Good eyesight is very essential,
an athletic physique is helpful, good
Judgment is most important, cour-
age is absolutely necessary. If an
umpire has these four assets, he can,
after a time, build up confidence
with the men over whom he pre-
sides that will make his work much
easier.
When a ball player has conf
dence in an umpire, he will let
him get away with terrible de-
cisiOn without trying to start a
riot, simply because he feels that
is the way the umpire saw it, that
he rendered such decision be-
lieving that he was right.

CONFIDENCE OF PLAYERS

4 games in the American League
in which I knew I was not in the
best of form, yet would get through
with scarcely a kick.
Don't bother with Bill today,

ing them as he sees them" is an
expression 1 might hear half
dozen times during the game. The
players accepted in good spirit what
they believed were off-color de-
cisions because they had confidence
in me.
Since the announcement I would
quit the unapiring game to act as
general manager of the Cleveland
team Of the American League, I
have received many inquiries asking
me to detail some of the interest
ing happenings OF my long career
as an official.
What Is the greatest pitching
sest you ever have seen?
What players Of the twenty
five years do you regard as the
best at their respective positions?
What fielding plays are out
standing In your memory since
you started unpiring In 1906?

These and scores of other ques-
tons dealing with various incidents
that have come under my observa-
ton appear to be of great interest
to baseball fans of the country over.
That being the case, it is my in
tention to write series of articles
which will give my opinion on many
things that have impressed me most
in the various departments of play.
