worried about who is going to pro
tect the umpires, particularly from
the "Ferocious Gentlemen"
Nobody ever rises to the defense
of the unpires. They stand out
there alone, little islands in VIC
lent sea of action. They are sup
posed to be gentlemen, but not fe'
rocious under any circumstances
The fans in he stands can verbal
" take apart the boys in blu, The
"Ferocious Gentlemen" can circle
them like a pack of yappina ter

But the Ur.p must stand there
and take it. Taey can orde" a play
or or manager or coach from the
field. but as far as retaliation
against the fans is concerned they
are just a reed in a big wind
No matter what the provocatio7
thew must remain gentlemen With
out ferocity.
It seems little odd that umpires
can take the abuse they take, moi
only from fans but from players,
and keep an even keel, but that the
"Ferocious Gentlemen" just don''
seem able to take it from the fans
alone without protection provided
by the club officers.
Anyway, it will be interesting te
watch what happens at Ebbe1s
Field from now on and learn JUS
what constitutes unfair and vulgar
abuse. Profane language is one
thing, and the users should be rur
out of the park.
But calling a player or manager
dim wit or a king sized oaf isn't
exactly profane, although it Ger
tainly could come under the head
ing of abuse. The ''Ferocious Gen
tlemen must be protected t r o m
such attacks.

Roger Wolff, the loser.
In what was billed as the rookie
battle of the season, the Senators
hoped on Fer-iss for a so lead in

two outs and the Sox tied the
score at Sail. Johnson's ringing
double with the bases loaded of
