He hustled the run- ners back on the bases. Baltimore’s { manager, Jack Dunn, walked up Q,o: McGowan and said: “Are you crazy? That was a double play and the side | is out.” ! Said McGowan: “The man running to third was forced out but the batter is safe., Boley dropped the ball on that, drive.” A roaring crowd was tumbling out of the stands onto the diamond. Manager Dunn asked Boley if he had held onto the ball. Boley Comes Through “Boley did a very white thing then He admitted he dropped the ball. And his admission probably saved my life,” says McGowan. Buf- falo finally won the game. McGowan started umpiring sand- lot games at 16 in his home town, Wilmington, Del. One day he got a chance to sub- pire for a “big game" at Newcastle, Del.

McGowan has a sort of a Lou Gehrig endurance record in the modern umpire field. In 16 years in the American League he didn't miss a day on the job until last August when he was out for two days with neuritis in his working| hand and couldn’t move a finger.
