WIRSENS An ots CAN IT THROUGH Pipe PEL — VN FU Sra \y mS A \ ) ae s —— iy | Sad Affair; Let’s Keep *~—~ Our Eyes on Ball Umps ttle Team Has Hard Enough Work Beating Nine Men—Can’t Win Over Two Umpires, Too | BY LEO ’H. LASSEN Umpire Bedford surely got off on the wrong foot yes-| afternoon when he would not allow Jack Knight's né run in the left field stands in the ninth inning, which e tied the score. His verdict is one of the re- features which sometimes mark the game, not baseball, but fights, hockey—all have such occur-) ces at times, With the two-man umpire system in the Coast league, hoped that decisions like Bedford handed out y would be avoided, but when two umpires can't pe as far as the left field stand—if their eyes were ing the ball—well, use your own judgment. Bedford and Finney, who were handling the games , are hard, conscientious workers and while they| the visitors the game yesterday, they showed that ‘could stick to their decision, as they would not change verdict. But here’s hoping that in the future Bed- and Finney manage to keep in touch with the ball. Seattle team has hard enough work beating the other without having to win out over the umpires, too.

He has started-in 34 races of which he won 10, one of them being the $10,000 event at Syracuse, while he also finished second in eleven, two of them being jin the Transylvania, in which he helped to make the seven and four heat race records of the world. In his other; races, he finished third in seven, fourth in three, and was unplaced in three. His record of 2:05 was made in a third heat and is but three-quarters of a second shy of the ten-year-old record for geldings made by Early Dreams in 1916, while it is also the fastest trotting record made by a gelding foaled in Ohio, and third on the state’s honor) roll, the 2:0214 of Cresceus and 2:0314 of Binland alone preceding it. | The summaries of the races which Royal Mac trotted over the mile tracks shows that he has been beaten by seven horses and he in turn defeated each one of them with the single exception of St. Frisco, which is saying con- siderable for a horse that is still eligible to the 2:07 class. Ths list of those that defeated him leads off with Zom- rect, and is followed by Early Dreams, Lu Princeton, Ima Jay, Busy’s Lassie and Binland.
