RUTH LEARNS SOMETHING A couple of weeks ago the ascribes in New York put on a ball game and “Babe” Ruth umpired the game. If nothing more, the game taught Routh the trials and tribulations of an indicator man's life. Ruth sald after the game that he was thru with baiting umpires, as he never realized what a tough job it was be- fore. WHITESIDES LOOKS GOOD Speaking of umpires, there ts an Official In Seattle who looks like Coast league timber. He's Eddie Whitesides, who umpired part of The Ster Junior league finals. White sides looks ty inch an umpire and he handles the games tn snappy style. What's more he has a good eye and knows the rules. Whitesides played semi-pro ball for years around the Northwest and was rated as a 00d infielder. With the crew of in competents that Prexy McCarthy has in the Coast league this year White. sides would be a uable addition to the corps. If he isn't a better of, fielal than “Bea Reardon, the kid umpire of the Coast staff, then Dan- fel Dugdale is a lightweight.
