PELKAM BARROWS Removing Players Disaqreeable Task for the Umpires By UMPIRE BILLY EVANS RUTH EHFDHD TEUI matter what teams are opposing each other.

In the grandstand at every game are any number of people who came not only to aeft the ball game, but were attracted te the parkb-causd of some favorite or favorites. Imai ye strong follower of. tho Detroit elub. living In some small town about 200 miles from the Michigan metropolis. For years you hU -read everything that pertajned to the Tigers.

Ty Cobb had lecn your Idol. You had read about his great speed, his remarkable fall-away slldo, his wonderful batting eye. It was the ef your ambition 'to get down Detroit some day and see Cobb in action. After a wait of five or six years, you found reason for going to Detroit, although It did seem to be a bit of extravagance en your p.lrt Detroit waa playlnV New York and Russell Ford, then the pitching sensation of the American league, was scheduled to pitch against the Tigers. Here' was a choice yon were te see Ty Coblr In action against one of the best pitchers In the game.

You got out to the grounds early, all Intent on seeing Cobb. It happened that Cobb was not feeling well, and took only a few minutes' practice prior to the start of the game. That of course was a big disappointment. Detroit took, the field, but the side was retired without Cobb having a thing to do. On his' appearance at tha plate in the first inning, Cobb fouled the first ball, while the next two were called strikes, retiring the great batsman.

Once more you were disappointed. A proteet by Cobb fo lowed the umpire's final de-clslon. The game woevdclayed eev. eral minutes, and then from tho actions of the umpire, it Vas npnure nt that Cobb had been put out of the game. disappointment.

Twas' Ty Whe This Stunt In Detreit. This actually took place at the Detroit ball park, and I whs the um-. plre. In the lobby of the hotel ehit evening the fan told me his story, and- took me to task, for spoiling what promised to be an epoch in his life. Aftr I had explained roy position, he agreed with me that tborv was nothing for to do.

sTo start, Cobb was sick, and didn't want to start the game. A big crowd was present man of whom had come to see Col in action, sit Manager Jennings insisted that he at least start Russell Ford was using the ethers, ball then and getting away with It In grand style. Ht was the only pitcher In the big show who knew the mysterious secret. He was practically unhlttable. Ty didn't see any fat chance to swell his batting a'verage, As Ty afterward ad- mitted, he decided to make me the goat and.

I-couldn't escape th sit- uatlon. After I had called the third strike he persisted In questioning my Judgment He naturally wouldn't leave the batter's box' and Permit the game to proceed. After I had everclsed all the patience possible, I told Ty I wasfcgdlng to dust off the plate, and that, ffpon finishing I expected, him to be on hid way to the bench, I never did such a Job of dusting In all my life. Thera wasn't a speck of dirt when I finished, but Tyrus was-still present. Of course I Insist, ed that he make himself scarce, which he immediately did.

I knew a lot of people came out largely to see Cobb In action. I knew they voud be disappointed at his removal 'but there was no ether course open. I had given him every opportunity to stay In the game, hut he didn't want to- play. The case I have elted is typlcaf of many put up te the umpire during the I always seek to avoid ejecting the player, ilnce I know the desires ef the crewd, but ever? so often a trip to the club hous Is the only weaponlo which the Umpire ean resort If such expulsion from the game gave the fan the right to get his money back at the gate fewer stars would be removed as the mag. nates would soon assert themselves.

P. a Dear Sir, Comrade, and co-La Vineyard: Up to and in-cludlug the. hour ef last Sunday, when I read' your letter In the pa. pers, I had an. opinion of your montV.

But since how you roast the tity council tor Its action in purchasing a couple dozen acres lor a municipal golf links, your Intellectual batting average has fallen so low that I could not act It down without an accompaniment of language that Mr. Burleson wouldn't stand for. As for I am strong for the links. You oertalnly exhibit sdme nerve to call down the eminent, gents who are mnnlng this town of ours.

Do you know that your remarks are seditious and that you are liable to be pinched under the espionage law? You must be very careful these days, or you'll be sitting on a hard bench and saying "My. how nice It looks outside this morning." Why, only last spring the counctlmen were blowing around in the newspapers how the city levy had been cut down, and then they ertuck In the back door and boosted the assessed va.uation so you only have to rpay about 10 per cent taxes this year tnan last.

Other Improvements But, getting down to the kernel in' the nut, or as they say over In ranee, the colonel In the dugout, I don't agree with your remark about the city's golf links. As I have said, I think we should have such rinks, by all means, fair f'Jf possible, foul if necessary. I think that such links should be bought immediately Immediately after the purchase of the street car system, the installation of a city market, and the establishment of ten or fifteen other Imprbvementa that the; city needs about a hundred times' worse than it -needs golf links.

This Is no time for baseball bolshevikism, accord-, to most western Jeaders of the prt- It there are to be revolutions, actordlng to sportsmen, they should be.

delayed until there is something definite tb "revolute" on. Just now, they claim, it Is a problem of getting the sport back on a sound, peace time basis and completely back Into the good graces of the fans. With American league opening Its annual meeting here Monday there waa tonight the usual talk of putting the skids under Ban Johnson. Most of that gossip, however, originated In the east' In the west there are more Johnsonophiio magnates.1 Recent events natnrally forecasted a resumption of major league baseball In the spring. TI-e league meeting here undoubtedly will deal more with plana for the season, with the treatment of players salvaged from the army -and with league business thnn with partisan quarrels.

The west was only mildly Interested In the project of replacing the Johnson -Herrmann combination with a one-man commission. While they approved the man named, they didn't don crepe when the affair blew over. The National league, as represented here, Is preparing for the season Inaugural. The feeling here seems to be that no candidato Is In sight to beat John A Heydles, for the league presidency. Plans for spring training have been partially completed by some teams.

Charles Weegh-man, baseball magnate, was waved to the bench tonight The club owner, flipped Into the national game by the Federal league, was waved out of business.

Mitchell expects to continue as manager. Other changes Include the election of William Veeck. baseball writer, as treasurer and vice president, and John O. Beys, veteran baseball man, as secretary. The changes were made, aoocrdjng to William chief stockholder, to place active management of the Cubs In the hands of experienced baseball men.

Never until September and October of 1918. did I realize how mueh, those checks really did appeal to me.

Because the powers curtailed the regular season, there was nothing Join In the check line for the last fix weeks of what would have been' the regular season. I haven't quite recovered from the jolt yet There are a number of disagreeable features connected with the umpiring game. It Is father annoying to render what you know la i. correct decision, and have soma player alibi himself by casting reflections on you 4udprmcnt. In baseball the old alibi has been worked to the limit, it Is getting less effective ach year.

The baseball public Is wise and doesn't fall for the alibi stuff any more. It is also a trifle embarrassing te render a ruling, that on the surface may seem unjust and yet be absolutely1 correct as to the playing code. In such a case the crowd accepts 'surface cpndltlons, and'gets after tho official, when, as a matter 61 fact, ho Is In the right. Dlcoiplina and Reipeot Must Be Maintained. To ma'ntain discipline and command respect.

It is necessary every now and then to remove a ayer from the gome. While I point the finger to, the exit sign, perhaps as much as any official In the game, such an occurrence Is always unpleasant to me, unless the player has bo sinned that he Is beyond recall. If there Is apy way that I can get by without putting the player out of the game, I always fall for It I try my best to handle every situation without working 'an injustice to any team, but every now and thnn some athlete refuses to listen to reason. If a lover of boxing goes to a bout, advertised as a championship affair between the title holder and a claimant for the he would not be satisfied If the champion was withdrawn and an understudy substituted." In all probability' he would demand the return of his money and get it If a theatre goer bought tickets for an attraction, featuring two big Mara, he wouldn't care to see a couple of understudies portray the If such shifts became -neces sary, the affair probably would be or ah explanation offered, and the holder of said tickets notified his money waited him if he didn't care to remain. In baseball a different condition prevails, and the public, because It regards It as, a part of the game, stands for it, and this is In a way a big testimonial to the sportsmanship of those -who attend ball games.
