Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, who was reported to have sailed from Liverpoot for New York several days ago, was present and was intro duced to the spectators, No pitcher ever gave umpires less trouble than Bill Dineen, when Occasionally Bill thought the umpire missed a aecision, but made known his belief in a gentlemanly manner, Bill's favorite—in fact, only—expression, used to express bis belief that the umpire erred, “Why was it a si ‘Why was it a ball? “Why was the renner out?’ “Why was the runner safe?” The umpire always gave Bil, his reasons for so deciding, and ended the discussion, Dineen pire as my partner, He had really never done any of, and | was interested to see how he would act him to task. close of 1909, when the race was over. Always popular, the yeteransa were pulling for him to succeed, and not a protest was made by them. It was a recruit, fresh from the bushes, who gave Bill his taste of argument between player and umpire. The youngeter had been a pitching sensation in the minors, and success had turned his head a bit. Early in the game he began to take — to Dineen's rulings. To express bis disapproval, he “So you were a pitcher opce?” “Yes, and all I did was pitch. I allowed the umpire to umpire,” replied Dineen. guess you had a lot of stuff,” persisted the youngster. had more when I quit than you have now,” answered Dineen. jood umpires realize that there are corners on the plate,” fired back the youngster, after Dineen had walked two men succession. The recruit did not relish being worsted, for he had the goat of all the umpires in the league he halled from. 1 was enjoying the affair immensely. “Good pitchers never look for the corners,” was Dincen's come back. During the remainder of the game the kid let Dineen alone. Bill was prouder of winning that argument than over any victory he Hever pitched. seeee Because of his abiilty to hit the ball hard, his specialty being home runs, Jack Murray of the Giants was dubbed “Home Run” Yur ray. Little was thought of his failure to hit in the first few games of the world’s series, but as he went hitless game after game, it got on the nerves of the Giant supporters, It has been often said by baseball players that the longest walk in the world is from the home plate to the bench after you have struck out. No dowbt Murray believed im this. After Murray had whiffed at three of Jack Coombs’ offerings and been legally declared out by the arbitrator, he started on the parade to the benc! “So that is ‘Home Run’ Murray,” remarked # Philadelphia fan, in voice sarcastic. The fan had one of those penetrating voices, and no doubt Murray heard it. “That's ‘Home Run’ Murray,” yelled a disgusted Gotham enthusl- ast, “and if | was McGraw I yous ae dim ja that direction at once.” Pitcher “Red” Nelson of the St. Louls Browns is a clever card player, as well as pitcher. When « card seasion is started on any of the long jumps from the East to the West, “Red” usually emerges from the fray with the winnings under his belt. Nelson joined the Browns in the fall of 1910. wor by winning his first game, When the season was over he was & popular favorite in St. Louls, because of his six victories in seven Starts. Much was expected of him in 1911. Just before the season opened. Neleon suffered an attack of rheo matism that put him out of the running until June, and made it im possible to show his worth at any time during the season. No young pitcher ever showed more promise, and tiness was a sad blow to the possibilities of the Brownles. After a game in Cleveland, one day, a friend with whom he passes much of the time during the winter shuffling the pasteboarda, stopped “Red” as he was leaving the field. For want of something better to say, he remarked: “What kind of a year are you having, ‘Red’? Knowing his friend was a great card player and not much of a baseball fan, Nelson was in doubt as to bis meaning, but to play it safe he replied: bad arm all year, but ft hasn't affected my card Ringside Tales.

Poverty-stricken place? Nay, nay. More money there than any spot of its size I ever saw, and more money for fighters, too. This strange place is Barodi, in Western Hindustan.
