Bench
BY b. Kinne

Sports Editor
Warming

The title of the most abused
person in sports can, without a
dissenting vote, be awarded to
professional baseball umpire.
Not only is the baseball umpire
the most abused man III sports but
he is the hardest working. The UNI
pire is forced to toll nine full in
nings in a baseball game while the
athlets works only in nine half
innings. While the athlete is sit
tig on the bench champing the
bit, the umpire is out on the field
doing his stuff with distended nos
trils and flashing eyeballs.
The fight referee is abused as
violently as the umpire but a fight
referee makes an appearance only
once a week at the most. The base
ball umpire must take it on the
chin every day in the week, and
twice on Sundays and holidays.
The umpire has been called
greater variety of names than any
other individual in history, includ-
ing Nero and Judas. Lingual in
genuity has developed to an amaz-
ing degree in depicting him and his
| decisions
The boxing referee has one deci-
sion to make in night, the foot
ball officiating appears to be divid
ed among a horde of officials and
executed in a maelStrom of loose
| legs and other limbs. But a pair
of baseball umpires will make on
an average of 1875 decisions in a
game and must execute them under
the pitileSs glare of none too dis
cerning public opinion somewhat
cock-eyed from excitement.
Most of the decisions are eX-
tremely close and others must be
made on plays which are actually
tied. Either way an umpire calls
such play he is wrong.
Blind bum is the favorite ex-
! preston on such play. But the
fans are wrong again. For the UNI
pire doesn't depend entirely upon
his eyeSight in making a decision,
particularly on first base.
The sound of the ball hitting the
glove and of the runners foot hit
ting the bag, guides the umpire in
making his decision. Especially in
night games, when the visibility
is poor. does the umpire depend on
his ears as well as his eyes.
An umpire on the field must have
many qualities, with which you
and I are not blessed. The first, and
possibly the most important, is
restraint. such as taking daily
abuse without returning the com
pliment
Then there is the question of
stamina. The umpire takes more
bumps in a day than the average
person takes in ten years, bumps
which would send many men to
! the hospital.
One umpire in the coast league
once was hit by a foul tip which
angled under his mask. The blow
/ drove his jaw back several inches
and shattered his front teeth. He
was back in the game umpiring
| the next day.
Many umpires have been hit on
the foot by foul tip and sustained
broken bones. But they finished
out the game. Umpires must have
speed to keep up with the run
ners on the bases in order that
! they can make close decisions.
And then when it comes to know
ing the rules. A lawyer has nothing
on an umpire. Complicated rules
which would leave the average fan
in a dilemma must be thoroughly
/ familiar to the umpire.
It's a great profession but
I'd rather be in the China war
it's safer.

ROCHE FREEING

PHILADELPHIA, June II
G.N.SD 1t began to look today
as if a new trial or pardon from
Governor George H. Earle would
be necessary to free Mrs. Mary
Roche, 80, of a 10-year prison term
imposed for crime the State now
is convinced she did not commit.
Just how to solve an admitted
legal tangle was the question
posed before lawyers following the
acquittal of Mrs. Roche's brother,
Edward Haislip, of Washington,
D. c., on a manslaughter charge
for the death of his brother-in-
law, Charles Roche.
HaiSlip admitted Stabbing Roche
to death during a quarrel, but
previously Mrs. Roche had con-
fessed the crime and had been
sentenced.
With his sister still in Jail,
Haislip meanwhile remained un-
der custody to await trial of
charges of perjury growing out
of his testimony at her trial.
