Veteran Umpire and Sporting Pro- moter, Timothy Hurst, Tells of Troubles Awaiting Former Umpire Hank O'Day. “Baseball fans are fickle, but that isn't all,” sald Timothy Hurst, veteran ~ umpire, referee and sporting promoter, as he took part in a fanning bee the other day. “They have no mercy. The bugs out in Cincinnati who used to ridioule and abuse Umpire O'Day are now praising Manager O’Day without lmit. But if the Reds do not keep up with the leaders, just see if these same rooters don’t make Hank’s life miserable. That’s the way it has been going on for years in the big and little cities where baseball is played. “l speak from experience, by the ‘way, because after I had run the gant- let for several years as umpire, Chris Von der Ahe engaged me to manage the St. Louis team. This was a funny stunt, because the year previous I had been mobbed in the Mound City- be- cause I did not give all the close ones to the home team. “But, as the manager, I was a king until the season got under way. All of the nice things said about me were forgotten, and I couldn’t pick up a newspaper without burning my fingers. If I had been the least bit sensitive I would have been sent to some retreat, but I made up my mind to worry through it until my contract was up. Did I kick at the umpires? Bless you, no! My team was so weak that we couldn’t. have won three straight games if all the decisions had been in our favor, “The merciless attitude of the fans has broken more than one man’s heart. I'll never forget the case of Tim ' O'Keefe. He was one of the greatest pitchers that ever curved a ball It was his great work that helped the Giants to win the world’s champion- ship in 1888 and 1889. > “Keefe was llke Matty—a public fdol. If he had run for public office he'd have been elected. Crowds fol- lowed him home from the = Polo grounds, and wherever he played he was a hero. When Keefe could not pitch any more he was induced by President N. E, Young to umpire in the Natlonal league. He came to the Polo grounds in this capacity and re- ceived a rousing welcome. In a grill- ing battle between the Giants and the Bostons, however, Keefe, absolutely Hank C'Day. honest, made several close decisions against the New Yorks. Before the, game ended Keefe was the target for & volley of abuse. He was hooted and bissed and finally a mob tried to bandly him roughly as he made his way to the dressing-room. “Belleve me, boys, Keefe actually broke down and wept. The admirers of former days had turned against him in less than two hours. His old spirit had gone and he soon resigned from the umpire staf!. The same reatment would be accorded to any- of the star ball players of today if ey turned to umpiring. Their uchievements on the diamond would be forgotten in the wild rooting for e home team’s success. “DId I ever lose my nerve while um- piring? Well, not exactly. But some pights I didn’t sleep well, becausé I was dead sore. I've taken on thirty pounds since I quit the business.” PREDICT A SHORT SCHEDULE Injuries and lliness to Many Players Early In “Season May Force Leagues to Take Action. ‘The poor physical condition of many ball players in the major leagues caused by the cold and damp weather early this season has resulted in an Bgitation to curtall the playing sea- son. Weather conditions caused sev- eral club owners to declare there should be a radical reform in making bt schedules. Not only did the players feel the i1l pffects from the weather, but records from the clubs show that the atten- dance figures fall below the mark of other years. The playing form of the big league clubs was also below standard except In one or two cases. The Philadelphia Natlonal League club and the New York American League club played Dogt entirely of subiituies. 000000 POOPOOOO OO @ STANDING OF THE CLUBS. @ & Continued from First Page. ® P00 00OOOOGG Boston 4, 0; Cincinnati 3, 5.

Tommy Griffin, secured by Sioux City from St. Joseph, is going well in new company. Erwin, the Brooklyn Giant, is car- ried more for the batting ability than his catching skill. There isn’t a point overlooked when Kid Gleason is directing the base run- ning of the White Sox. Infielder Schmidt of Wichita, is in & hospital at St. Joseph, following an operation for appendicitis. “The Boston fans always did like a winner,” says a paragraph. Boston fans are bound to be unique. Sam Mertes is out of baseball. He has failed as an umpire on the coast and has’ dropped out entirely. Doc White is again.ready to take his turn in the box for the White Sox. He had been a sufferer from lumbago. Billy Rhines, the once famous Cin- cinnati pitcher, will manage an inde- pendent club at Ridgway, Pa. this year.

In its celebration of its class day it bow- ed itself in prayed, listened to ora- tion, poem' and ode; escorted thou- sands of pretty girls at spreads and luncheons, rooted for the home team in the annual baseball game with Yale, went through traditional “stunts” in the Stadium, and wound up the most joyous day in jts history with teas, dinners and music. The day opened - for the seniors with their attendance at prayers in Appleton Chapel where Prof. George H. Palmer officiated. = Following prayers they assembled in front of Holworthy Hall and marched to San- ders’ Theater where the graduating exercises were held, The oration was by Robert W. Williams of Baltimore, the class poem' by James G. Gilker of Watertown, Mass, and the ode by George. W. Gray of Houston.

The North Star state produced more butter in 1909 than all the New England states together accord- ing to compilation of figures just is- sued by the’department of commerce and labor -at Washington. The amount’ made was 125,180,000 pounds valued at $33,610,000. In spite of the fact that Iowa and Wis- consin each is credited with produe- ing more butter, the amount received was largest for Minnesota, showing the high quality of the product of this state. Dairymen are ~ co-operating with farmers in all parts of the state to maintain the high standard which this state has set for butter making. Farmers are keeping their cream at & uniform temperature from the time it is milked until delivery at the creamery and -are protecting it against dirt. Every pure breed herd in the state is free from tuberculosis and the state authorities are bend- ing every effort to keep the stock clean. ITS PREVENTION IS SOUGHT Coagress May Sanction the Parole of Federal Life Prisoners—Superin- tendont of House Press Gaery Proves Himeelf a Veteran. By GEORGE CLINTON. ‘Washington.—Representative Gard- mer of the Sixth district of Massa chusetts acted as a showman before an audience in the bureau of the coast and geodetic survey the other day. He presented a series of moving picr tures, one of which showed a French fishing schooner in the North Sea dragging up fish by means of what are called otter trawls. There is a movement to give legis- lative force to an international agree- ment which will prevent the use of trawls of this kind by fishermen. The trawls go down deep, the object being to catch big fish, but i their opera- tion it is said they kill thousands of emall fish and unless their use be pro. hibited, it 1s possible, even probable, 1t is said, that the world before many years would be confronted with a fa- mine in sea food. It is said that if this should come the problem ot feed- Ing the world would become one abso- lutely unsolvable. The house of representatives has passed a bill, which also has been favorably reported by a senate com- mittee, {0 allow the paroling of Uni- ted States prisoners, who are serving life sentenees, at the expiration of the fifteenth year of their imprisonment. Recently there has been a movement in many of the states to extend the parole laws to men serving life sen| tences and as has heen marked in a number of instances recently, the gov- ernment seems to be inclined to fol- low examples set by the individual ptates. As things are at present, a man who is sentenced by a federal eourt to life imprisonment has only two chances of having his liberty re- stored, one by bringing forward incon- trovertible. proof that he was innocent and was sentenced under a mistake, pnd the other by the pardon of the president. Story About Charles H. Mann. Not long ago in one of these dis- patches there was a short sketch of Col. Charles H. Mann, superintendent of the house press gallery. As was ‘paid then, Mr. Mann has been looking pfter the interests of Washington cor- respondents for so many years that he has virtusfly forgotten when hig pervice began. The other day Louis Brownlow of Tennessee, 8 Washington correspond- ent, made a discovery. Mr. Brownlow bad been going through the files of old newspapers in the library of con- gress. He walked over to the press gallery and said that in a copy of the Harrisburg Keystone of 1839 he had found mention of the fact that Charles H. Mann had just been appointed postmaster in the town of Doyles. town, Pa. The superintendent of the press gallery overheard what Brown, Jow said and instantly speaking up gaild: “What did you say was the name of the town in which my name- sake was appointed postmaster?” “Dolyestown, Pa.,” sald Brownlow. “Now, I am_going to prove to you \ Firemen Attention!

Traverse City, Mich., June 18.— Members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles flocked to this city today from every part of Michigan for the an- nual convention of their state organ- ization.

Mr. Mann showed the com- mission triumphantly. The correspondents took out thefr pencils and worked out a problem, the result of which showed that if their gallery superintendent, Charles H. Mann, had been appointed postmaster at Doylestown, Pa., in 1839, when he must have been at least twenty-one years old in order to be commlis- sioned, he today had reached the age of ninety-four. Then it was that “Charlie” Mann explained that his' namesake who had been postmaster under the Jackson administration was his father and that he had kept the commission as a fam- fly heirloom. Several members of Washingtons officialdom went to Richmond, Va., a day or two ago to take part in the exerciges connected with the placing ©of a bronze tablet to mark the site of the house in that city which was oc- cupied by Alexander H. Stephens when he\was serving the Confederate states- as vice-president. Representa. tive Brantley of Georgia delivered the oration on the occasion.
