And the dean of American league arbi- trators replied: “Well, first of all, a fellow has to be honest; he has to have the courage of his convictions, then an intimate knowledge of the game—and a genuine love for it. He must have common sense in abundance. Last, but certain- ly not least, a man who aspires to make good handling the indicator must be a stuGent of human nature a must be a believer in the theory, “treat others a8 you would have them treat you.” “Most players,” continued O'Lough- lin, “are as temperamental as prima donnas. No two players are alike. Therefore, an umpire who wants to make good must learn the character- | istics of each man and then handle | him In the way that will eliminate as | much friction as possible. | “The fans who sit in the grand- | stand have the opinion that the arbi- | trator is unjust toward some players | and favors others. That is because | they are not fully conversant with con- | ditions. They have not made a study | of all as intimately as an umpire. | There are some players who attempt | to alibi their own fallure by ragging | the umpire. There is another type which—odd though it may seem—bait umpires merely in the hope of getting publicity as peppery, aggressive play- ers. Usually those fellows are given the ‘gate’ in a hurry when they start to howl, because it is obvious that thetr walls are not sincere—that they are attempting to pull some newspaper stuff for themselves. “A star player is easiest to handle. Ty Cobb, fiery and aggressive though he is, has caused the umpires less trou- ble than almost any man that wears a big league uniform today. Few great- er players have lived than Eddie Col- lins, yet he rarely figures in the role of complainant. “The same thing goes with Tris Speaker, Joe Jackson, Ray Schalk, Stuffy McInnis, Ray Chapman and all the other really great players. They have as much pep as the player who seeks publicity and have the interest of their club at heart even more.
