That's where experience comes
IN handy, of course a young
umpire might try to call the play
himself even though he didn't
see it. Umpires have to learn,
just like ballplayers.
My hardest decision2 Oddly
enough, it was one / didn't
have to call. 1t was IN the 1881
World Series between the AS and
the Cardinals. In the seventh
and deciding game with the
bases loaded in the first half of
the ninth inning, a fellow by the
name of Camera Eye" Max
Bishop comes up. The count goes
to three-and-two. and Bill Hal
lahan, the pitcher, comes in with
a fast one, waist high and right
at the edge of the plate. A real
hard one to call. But Bishop -
and III always be grateful to
him swings and knocks the
ball to centerield. Pepper Mar
tim scampes over the grass,
catches the ball for the third out
and the end of the Series.
Now if Bishop had taken that
pitch, I would have had to call
it. And whatever l called it, I'd
have been in trouble.
What's a 8exilse?
HERES one point about call
ing balls and strikes that I i'm
agine most fans don't know. In
the rule books the strike zone is
between the batter's armpits
and the top of his knees when
he assumes a natural stance. But
can an umpire call a strike on a
pitch at the armpits? He can
not! He wouldn't last a week if
he did. Either he'd get killed or
he'd be railroaded out of there
on the grounds that his judg-
ment was bad" Halfway
through q mans chest 10 the
highest you can call n strike.
That's why you occasionally
see some of these kids come up
out of colleges, semi-pro clubs
and even some minor leagues
with terrific strikeout records.
What happens when they reach
the big time? The strike zone
shrinks on them, they give up a
lot of bases on balls - and
they blame it ON the umpire,
naturally.
Mistakes WIN HaRPea
Bur umpires are human, and
of course they win make mis-
takes occasionally. The late Bill
Klein in a famous interview told
news reporters, Il never missed
one," but what most people
don't know Is that Bill had his
hand over his heart and the rest
0f the n,,0te was ''frnn here"

HOW TO GET THROWN OUT OF A BALL GAME

time like this?" But Immediately
the fans IN the stands start yell
ing. Alta boy. Stan, tell the big
blind bum where to get off"
Most of the time, unfortu-
nately, players will stir up a
crowd intentionally. One of the
greatest catchas IN the National
League today had a bad reputa-
ton at Montreal. He used to
umpire" the games by holding
the ball and turning around.
That way he'd arouse the fans,
and some umpires up there might
get worried and give him a
break on the next close pitch.
He didn't get away with it when
he reached the majors. The first
time he tried it, the ump yanked
off his mask and yelled at him,
Turn around on me once more
and you're out of the game" He
learned.

He just doesn't know how big

you're umpiring on first base,

and to the left of the bag IN foul
territory. The batter hits n
ground hall to deep short.
The shortstOp makes a nice
stop, Aips to first. But his long
throw pulls the first baseman off
the bag toward the plate. The
first sacker makes a backhand
swipe at the runner. You, the
umpire, can't tell whether he
tagged him or not.
So what do you do? You look
in to your associate working be-
hind the plate. This man has a
perfect view of the play, and if
the batter was out, he'll be
standing there with one thumb
sticking out of his coat pocket.
If he has four fingers out, you
know the first baseman missed
the tag and the runner is safe.
