THE OLD DAYS' Umpires of toflay have a happy time compared to the time the um fessional baseball. Then only one umpire operated tn the most important game. Recently while the White Sox and Washington's were at play at Comis- key park in Chicago there were no lexs than three umpires on duty one behind the bat aalling balls and strikes, At no time did any one of them appear to be in trouble. There baye been many radical de Partures from the customs of other days, One is treatment of umpires, In the earty part of baseball—from 1859 and 1860 an umpire was highly honored, After each game the players would give three cheers for each oth- er and then, as a grand finale they would bellow forth with three mors— and sometimes nine—for the umpire. In most cases, at least up to 1865, the umpire often was one of the dis- tinguished men of the city. The clubs vied with each other in trying to secure the most prominent person- ages, The oldtime umpires always were accotded the utmost courtesy by the players. ‘They were given easy chairs. placed near the home plate, provided with fans on hat days, and their absolute comfort was uppermost in the minds of the players. After each game in the early ‘60s | sandwiches, beer, cakes and other re-| freshments were served by the home | team. The umpires always received the | choicest bits of foods and the largest | of beer—in case he care¢ for beverages. If he didn’t he needed ut to express his desires in the thirst-quenching line before the game started—and he got it. | ——————__ Now ®=WATCHT ME CLOSELY <=} Tie Tedious Pastimes -- Watching a Sleight-of-Hand A mateur CLOSER} YOUF WATCH Tneltes s&you: see [Spore Calendar| Meeting of Saratoga Racing asso tion, at Saratoga.
