TIMOTHY HURST II UNJI UMPIRE Billy Evans Writes Entertainingly of His Old Side Partner. By Billy Evans. of 'nail's most tiniipie rharacfeis lias pinna hy lost to the major league for good Th" man referred to is that dispenser of choice repartee and good humor. Timothy t'arioll Hurst. late of Ashland.

but more recently of New York. In the passing of Tim Hurst from the American league that organization lost an official known from coast to coast, for his honesty, fearlessness and ready wit. After twenty years of service as an umpire. lie enjovs the proud distinction of never having lost an argument. The unfortunate ending of Tim's career as a major leaguer anie aoout over an alleged expectoration incident at Philadelphia, with Eddie t'ollins at the other end of tlie argument.

Tim made a decision that did not suit the Athletics' second saeker. He strenuously disputed the 'verdict. waved him aside, but Collins persisted in continuing the debate. It was claimed that Hurst, in the heat of anger, spat in the face of Collins. As a result of the little run-in, Tim lost his job as an umpire on the American Jicague staff.

While Tim cared little about the loss of the job. as he is well fixed financially, yet he did not like the Mot that had been cast on his career ny the many disgusting versions given of the trouble. Vet while all the fuss was being made oxer the incident Tim never lost ihe fund of good humor that had helped him out of so many arguments, as was proved by the little story that appeared shortly after the Philadelphia episode. A few days after the affair with Collins Tim was informed of his suspension by President Johnson, and immediately returned to New York to put in the time awaiting a final xerdict in the case. Naturally, the trouble caused Tim to be eagerly sought after by interviewers desirous of getting information on all kinds of subjects pertaining to umpiring, as well as the run-in.

Always courteous. Tim gave each interviewer an audience and freely answered every question. Tim insists that inside of two weeks he repeated the story of how he expectorated on another human being no less than times. Finally one young man. after getting Tim's version of the by the way, Tim's story is that he did not com- mit the act that rost him his Mr.

Ifurst what was the ore beet bit of advice he could give the ambitious young umpire of the future. Tim at the time, and still, figures that he got the worst of the trouble from beginning to end. and naturally he was a trifle sore at mind the way the affair had been aired to his detriment. "What the one best bit of advice I have for the coming umpire," said Timothy. "Well, sir, that's a pretty hard question, but after first telling him to wear plenty of protection I believe 1 would recommend to him the addition of a cuspidor to his paraphernalia." Lest you forget.

Tim was also strong on sarcasm as well as humor. The fans will miss Tim Hurst because he always was a good target for them In victory or defeat. The players will miss him. Although they used to rave and tear their hair when thejr thought he booted close nuu nm was universally popular with them, for tliey knew he gave the plays Just as he saw them, and knew no man could break down his iron nerve. Yes.

Tim Hurst will be universally missed by the patrons of the league circuit and also by the scribes, for Tim always had something of Interest, good for half a column or more, no matter how dull things might be in the news line. No i lass of men. however, will miss Sir Timothy more than the men of his own profession. the men who comprise the American staff of umpires. Every man manes mistakes; few men have so many opportunities to err as the umpire.

Every man hates to err, and perhaps no man hates to do a bungling piece of work more than an umpire. To the average to err is to worry. Every umpire has his troubles, yet it's pretty good bet that the duties and responsibilities of the position rested more lightly on the shoulders of Tim Hurst than on those of any other man that ever handled the indicator. To he doubled up with Tim Hurst was not to worry; and every umpire welcomed the sight of Tim's portly figure. To read many of the stories credited to Tim Hurst is to enjoy hiin, but to fully appreciate the man one must be closely associated with him.

Every member of the American league staff felt a deep pang of regret when Tun dropped from the organization. Hundreds or inre-csiwg stories hare related iti which Tim always played prominenl parr, and base ball history 1 as yet to rec ord where Tim finished second in any of the debates Tom Hugles, onif a star of the Washington pitching staff, and Tim were always great trlends. ret Tom always dw1'ghfed to get into a controversy with Tim. despite the inevitable outcome. Things broke bad for Hughes in the early part of the season closed, and he was finally sold to the Minneapolis club of ihe American Association.

One day, early In the season, Tom was workKeg his but no matter what he served the opposing hatters seemed unable to connect for anything less than a single Tim ITurst was umpiring the game, and Tom and Tim had several discussions over various incidents of the game. About the sixth Inning at special quest from Manager Fantillon Tom hied litmseJf to the clubhouse. By the time the gaine was over Hughes ad gotten Into Ills street clothes, and It happened got on the same ear with Tim. The car was crowded with fans and Tom decided to have a little fun at the expense of Tim, who was reading a paper. Forgot your glasses today, Tim," said Hughes with a large grin thrown In.

"Nope; decided I didn't need them to sec what you had today." was Tim's reply as he continued leading Just then It occurred to Hughes that he had forgotten something, and he left the ar in a hurry with Tim in full sway. The late Doc Powers, who was the star of Connie Mark's catching staflf until the I'mpire declared him out, always delighted in telling of the first game he ever aught with Hurst umpiring. Powers was always full of pepper, and In order to encourage his pttcher kept up a continuous chatter throughout the game. I That's a peach." would be hla comment on a hall that was perhaps a foot wide of ihe plate. "Another pippin, Kddie," would be his view of the next bail served by Plank, despite the fact that It was up around the batter's eye.

'Just like pi? king cherries." was another way of expressing his belief that tne ball conformed to a'I the regulations of a strike. Tfni rather enjoyed the ginger shown by the voungster. and for about innings paid no attention to the chatter. Finallv Tim called a batter out on a ball hbai was a trifle low, aa he afterward I si -lilJi-L-Imitted, but which Powers declared was a as peach. "Letting the catcher umpire the game VI tor you, losing your nerve, I guess," were fj the words hfcnded to Tim by the sore and disgusted batter who had just been retired on strikes.

It had Just the effect the batter desired, for Immediately got after Powers without mincing words. "Voting man, you may be a good judge of fruit, but you're not on a farm; this is a ball game. During the rest of the game I call the balls and strikes witho.it any agricultural remarks from you. otherwise I will be forced to request you to beat it." It is needless to say that the game proceeded to the finish without further comment from Powers. Every catcher who has ever worked In front of Tim has a fund of stories that never get to anybody but the catcher, umpire and batter.

i Catcher Armbruster. who was with the Boston Americans for a hile, was tossed out of a game one day for using language no that jarred on Tim's finer sensibilities. ur The following day Armbruster told Tim 4U that he regretted the affair, but he simply could not control himself when he got sore. im "Let me see," said Tim in reply to ea explanation. "I am con- W( versant with only the English language, and I believe you're a German.

Is that a tip to you as to how to keep In a ball game though disgusted?" th Armbruster always addressed Tim in German after that, and never was ejected from a game. clt Criger was catching "Rube" Wad- dell on one of the days last summer that Rube really looked like himself. Despite the fact that he was striking out the opposing players with almost a monotonous regularity, Waddell disagreed of with Tim on quite a few of his rulings pa on balls and In about the seventh inning of the game the opposition got to "Rube" for a couple of hits after Tim had passed two men. I tei and the visitors drew up uncomfortably 1 he close to the Browns. "Rube" was con- slderably peeved when he went to bench.

tca "Rube" continued fuming about it on the bench to Manager McAteer, telling ca him that Tim had made all the trouble ve for him. When Criger returned to his po- sition In the next inning, Juat to try out Tim. he said: i ty "Waddell has been telling McAleer all through the game that he is deceiving you." I fie "You tell that big stiff that he is paid i th to deceive the hatters, not me; also tell th McAleer to get another pitcher warmed atl up" wl Tim said all this in a voice audible Waddell, and sort of chuckled with glee toi when McAleer used the derrick on lilm ah after the first two men hail reached rr? first. an fo; Hurst always hated tie games, for a tie ha game meant a double header, and liar, gain davs were the abomination of Tint's life year, after he had retired from the American l.caguy, Tim was selected to work a semi-professional game being played in the east for big stakes. Ills bu fee for the same was flOO.

Some 1 oM i nioca vhn If Tim ptp rmitp Uiu-iuiiri 1 ill surprised, although neither team protested. "Why, Tim." said one of the old timers, "I've seen you make them play in the big league when the street lamps were light- ed, yet you railed the game today with i the sun still shining." "Hush," said Tim, "there Is a method in my madness. I'm doing piece work now, this game will have to be played 5 over. It means another $100." Truly Mr.

Timothy Carroll Hurst was a wonderful person: Will there ever be any one to take his place? It seems to be common talk in Detroit go that the Tiger club Is going to let out ha Delehanty and Tom Jones, who aided in on winning the pennant and making the i Ka grand fight In the championship games. na It has been stated that Del and Jones Ku were secured just for the wlndup, as the Tigers were In a very bad way for a first sacker and a second baseman. Tom Jones may go, out the work or Delehanty I was too good for Jennings to overlook him, and. what is more, there are very je few sacond basemeu in the base bail woods these days. The fact that one Pt of the brothers of the great Ed.

who f.t4 whacked out four homers and a two- sacker In one game, outhit Crawford, re, Cobb and tlte reat of the Tigers, has led Jennings to believe that Delehanty will be a man for second base next I season. Jennings has a new man who pi, will be tried out at first base.

November catehp class of taken as a whole, was -t up to that of lftnp. and that of 1910, iless some real wonders are dug up Tine the winter, promises to be still aker. There are for this fallp off in quality, excellent reasons and ally understood. No really dazzling mdera were discovered along either of big circuits. Some of the veterans nt back perceptibly In their play, and hold-out of the best of them all.

John ling, detracted materially from the neral standard of the department. Few jhs could -boast of any real Improvepnt behind the bat, and the majority actual losers. the National league Pittsburg owed great deal of its success to the work (libsbn. who practically all the mes, and, with Kling out of the way, oved to be tlie real catching star of tli circuits. Gibson also hit much bet- than ever before, and was a great lp with the stick instead of being a aw back, as was the case with many I tchers.

riie Cubs, per contra, tost the flag they didn't have Kling. This marloue performer was the sort of catcher used to see when Rwing, Bennett, PI ly a no noyiP were in mnr I pe that Is almost extinct nowadays. could backstop superbly, throw witit I adly accuracy and had the genius of Id leadership combined with ability in coaching of pitchers. Add to this at Kling could hit savagely, day in day out, and it at once be seen iore he Cubs could not make up for absence. Archer and Moran, who his place, are good catchers, far ove the average.

Archer being brilliant, while Moran is reliable steady. Yet they did not make up Kling, and neither of them could in the same class as the great Jewi maskman Giants' Bunch. Uctiraw tried to make up for the abnce of Bresnahan by carrying a whole nch of catchers. All did their best ien called on. but not one of them uld half make up for Roger.

Meyers, Indian, could hit, but was way shy Bresnahan an a backstop, a thrower field leader. Srhlei was a veteran considerable skill, but beginning to irograde. Wilson and Snodgrass looked if they might have something in them, had little chance to demonstrate the L't. Sed Dooin again did nearly all the work Philadelphia, and Red is surely a eat little hustler. He was no better an in ami is iiivriy 10 gmn the future.

Dooln Is a rattling hard but falls ahort of the Kling class several ways. 3rifflth made the long and lasy Larry rLean work hard this year, and is really a fine catcher and od batter, put up good, conscientious II till he was disabled. Roth, the secd catcher, did not seem to strike his It. and toward the finish a Bronx boy med Clark was tried out, with very od results. Other Backstops.

Boston had Bowerman. who Is growing 1, and was soon dropped, after many ars of big league service. Harry Smith iled to strike his proper speed and caches Graham was the regular hard worker, but not a star, ooklyn, as usual, made Bergen chief reiver. This tali fellow is a beautiful tc'ner. but what's the use? He bats ire feebly than even the average pitcher.

a team with iiim in the line-up is seven men against eight or nine. Bresnahan. who was supposed to brace i the an greatly, had rather bad year, his work, both back of th? and with the stick, being below his ual grade. Phelps and Bliss split up of the work, and both did fatrl.v, telps having a good year with the wllK. raking the National league as a whole, 3EBA1 0 jp Imp 1' -I i the catching fell away, and the chances of improvement are not promising.

Ban's Maskmen. The death of Dr. Powers deprived the Athletics, at the start of the race, of a fine catcher and royal gentleman. Thomas and Divingston, who divided the campaign between them, showed good class, better than had been expected of them, but not up to the very highest standard. Carrlgan and Donohue worked for the Boston Reds, the much-touted Spencer, fat and tired, quitting early in the struggle.

Carrigan not only caught well, hut had a great year at the bat, and was one of the most valuable catchers in the game. Donohue did not hit hard, but taught in rather artistic fashion. The White Sox were not as strong as usual back of the bat. Sullivan did not work up to his usual standard, ana Owens, the Southern I-eaguer, while promising, was crude at times. Payne showed a flash of old-time form toward the last, and Is counted on as a regular performer for next season.

Clarke, the Wyandot Indian, who had been counted on to catch most of the games for Cleveland, was laid up much of the time. Bends was weak after an attack of typhojd fever, and the bulk of the work fell upon a newcomer, Ted Easterly. For a novice he did well, though catching raggedly at times, and should be better next season. Schmidt, the Tigers' old standby, had to split the work this year with a newman. Stanage.

While Schmidt was hardly up to his usual form. Stanage actually did better, especially at bat. In the majors than in the smaller leagues. Highland Men. Stalllngs had his last season's catchera.

Kleinow, Sweeney and Blair. Of these, Kleinow caught his usual sturdy game, Blair was farmed out half the season, and Sweeney showed marked Improvement in batting, though catching and throwing shakily at times. Stephens, the Browns' young catcher, played pretty fair ball all reason, but is not a wonder. Origer, the wonderful veteran who caught Young these many years, seemed to lose much of his 1 effectiveness when transferred to St. i Lcouis, or else is retrogading now.

Cantillon fired most of his catchers In midseason. The work was nearly all done by Charley Street, anyway, and this flne backstop, who is getting better 1 every year, did noble service for the tall- end team. Any good young catchers to be had? If ao. come through with will be greatly needed in 1910, ami Van draw a lot of money. SEYMOUR RELATES UADn I llPlf CTHDYI limits i vn i Hard lurk? No what it ia until ho has listened to the tale of which Cy Soy- mour brought with him to Cincinnati on his presort visit, says the Cincinnati Star.

The first chapter occurred down in Tex- as in the spring, when Seymour took offense at some of Arlio Latham's too personal remarks and poked the "dude" somewhere in his food-consuming machinery. knot-king him to the fttarble floor of the Arlington Hotel at Marlln. For thla Cy was laid off by Manager McGraw and practically marooned In the Lone Star was Cy, hundreds of miles from hia fireside, with many meals, sleeping car bertha and railroad tickets to be bought before he could finally hit lit- tie old New York. But did he flinch? Nary a flinch. He stuck to the Giants, paid his own ex- i worked henever he had the chance ar.d kept in good condition.

Final- ly, a month or so after the season had opened, the ben was lifted and he was put on the Giants' pay roll and sent into a game.
