I no such thtnir a a compe

imht remarkable mirmnil ask
Harry Wolvtrton of ths Oakland club,
or auk five other Ciut Uacut man
"" or miytn you would prefer to
rnat with a f-w thousand Portland
fans. Tho answer Is Invariably the
same. "No."
Mara you ever stopped to consider how
many derisions an umpire la railed up
on to make In the twmk.lr.r of an eye
dirlng each and every frame? I'mloubt
edly not. Neither had wo until Kr!dy

from the players' side, one of these
when Mr-Ar'Me went out at first after
a beautiful line drive to Chadbourne In

Out of every thousand fans In the
stands, just " are better qualified (In
their own mtndsk to pass upon the
rleye than Is the umpire. Yet take one
of these lions and stand him up be.
fore the other In the real fire test,
and he d have to teat Koseben's record
to s-ve his epl.lermis.
AHe from t.le halls and strikes, most
of the hairbreadth Uerlelons transpire
at nrst ease. This Is the pivotal point,
oerause a man must ream first base
tfore he becomes at all dangerous to
t ie opposition. In the average same,
as a general rule, about one-third of
lis putouts are made at ftrst base. It
Is the only sum k where the runnrr en

tion with Immunity from being; re

his last ounce of speed against thi
balL with the result thst tne respect
le arrivals of the two are small frac
tional seconds apart. I'mplre Finney.
Ilka other of the "undesirables." lays
no riaim to mrlllM!lty.
"It Is Impossible." said he yesterday,
"for any human belnsr to umpire ier-
fectly. Judging balls and strikes Is
hair guesswork. A wise catcher will
Mock an umpire's vision and pull balls
In such a way as to absolutely confuse
the man behind him. It is much the
same umpiring on tne bases. A man

once, nor can be travel as quickly as
ins call. Accidental positions often
place him that the play Is entirely coy.
red up. and again he must trust to
luck Id rendering; his verdict."
I'mplre Is Vphcid.
Finney's statement recalls to mind an
Incident of the Vernon-Tortland series
three weeks ago. nrashear of the Ver
nons lammed a liner, into left field,
Krneger coming In and raking It off
Ms shoetops on the dead run. Cmpire
Illldebrand. who was working behind
the bat. called Brashear out. Natur
ally lirashear howled. So did Happy
liosan. but rana and scribes were una
nimous In saying that HI Me brand was
right, thai Krucger hr-d caught the
ran on the fly.
Hut Krucger did not. He got It on
the bounce about f.ur Inches off the
grass as he will tell you himself.
Iiu.lebrand admitted after the gam
mat ne was wrong, following a chat
with hrurgcr. Iltldehrand is a first
Us umpire, but he had to guesa and
his cun. wrnt amiss. And this Is one
re.uon why nine of li ball players will
tell ou that un ler no circumstances
aril for no consideration would they
aicrpt umpire responsibilities.
"ilarrv" Herrmann, owner of the Cin
cinnati National league club, had sev
eral ev-ellent stories of the diamond
on lip when in I'ortlnnd the other day.
"Jiars Parrott a third baseman on
the Chi, ego club years ago. was one of
the must unique baseball characters of
r.ia lav. began titrry. at the KIks
rlubrooms by way of a starter. "When
J'.ggs Joined the club he was played
In a few games and not showing any
thing but a good disposition, was
benched ontit he had acquired a few
major league kinks.
Parrvlt Rrrps Gair.
"Mr story has to do with a trip to
JVttla lelphia. Ar.i in found he was
short a few plavers by the usual fake
su-knesa gag and there was nobody to
go on the gate. in those days you
know one of the ball players always
held the gate to see that nobody got
t.irouch without proper credentials.
"Parrott was Instructed to go to the
gate and was Instructed carefully. An
son showed Mm how it must dirk for
every one who went through, and
faithful Jigrs allowed as how he fully
understood the gag It waa along about
fth Inning that a fearful uproar arose
down by the gate and policemen, fans
and players scuttled to the scene. They
f'und the Philadelphia doorkeeper
prostrate by the turnstile yelling mur
der, while rarrott waa holding Mm
down anl was also yelling for help,
police and rescue.
"Jlgt-a was extracted from his cap
tive with some difficulty by the time
Anson popped on deck. Red as tire.
Tarrvtt exclaime.i that the other gate
man was swindling them and that be
had caught him at It and was making
the rohijer suiter for It.
""How was he swindling usT de
mar. led Arson.
""Why.- howled Parrott. he had the
turnstile card so It wouldn't register,
lire been watch.lr.g for five Innings
and the cumber it showed has never
changed Just the same now as when
the game began.
"And JIcks pointed to the serial
r.umher of t::e s:;!e. engraved upon one
cf the urrer arms ;ii."
The 'protection rlay" holds the
unique distinction of telrg one of the
few angles of the National frolic un
known and imir.lt:ated to tre major
circuits. to far as known, the "pro
tection pl-iy" has come up but once In
llstory. that time at Oakland.
"I was p aylng with (Oakland at the
time" volunteered Artie Krueger.
Portland left fielder. "We reeded one
run to tie in the ninth inning, with a
rran on second and two out. Catcher
Jack P'.iss was on the third base coach,

"Van Haltren. who was running the

ORT'S NON-ARRIVAL HURTS
Cocash Taken Weed's Place In Field
and Weed Goes to First Hinkcl
Joins Staff and Miko Lynch
Plays Better Than Ever.
SEATTLE. Wash., May 27. (Special.)
Because McCredle didn't see fit to
send George Ort to the Seattle club, the
local baseball team has undergone quite
a shakeup. Cocasli has been sent into
the outfield to fill Weed's place, and
eed has been brought in to first base,
where it was hoped Ort would per
form. Kadlng. who has slowed up con.
slderably, has been benched, and may
be kept off the team for some time or
let go altogether. Liugnale counted on
getting Ort. and thought Williams' out
fielder would be available, but some
place there has been a hitch.
Aside from the switch on first base,
the team is about as it waa when It
had an early season winning streak.
Something serious is wrong-. What It
Is no one seems to know. The pitch s
are doing their share, the batters are
working steadily, but for some reason
they flatly fall to "come through" with
the needed, hits when men are on bases.
Yesterday's game found the grand
stand filled to the guards, the fans hav
ing responded to the win of the day be
fore, and coming out to see a repeat.
That victory of Thursday. Incidentally,
was the second in 17 games. When
Friday's game went to a shutout the
fans gave It up and went home, declar
ing Seattle would have a hard fight all
season to keep out of the cellar.
Mike Lynch has been playing a spec
tacular game for Tacoma this week.
Tho big Tiger captain is in better form
than ever, has made some wonderful
running, one-hand catches, which are
as good as anything he ever did in his
prime, and he has been hitting like a
nend. Mike s suspension has apparent.
ly done him a lot of good. Incidentally,
be comes in for more baiting than ever
from the fans and doesn't resent It as
be has been wont to do.
Fred H Inkle, the University of Ore
gon pitcher, joined the Seattle team
this week, but has not as yet been put
on the mound. Hlnkle did not get away
exceptionally strong last year, but he
s a fast young southpaw and Dugdal
thinks so much of him that he was pre
pared to make a fight when McCredle
tried to get hold of him at the start of
the season. Hlnkle has a big Seattle
following, of the opinion that be may
stem the slump of the locals.
Manager Tlghe says he has a deal on
to secure material to strengthen the
Seattle team. He believes that with
one or two winning pitchers and a
couple of hitters he can yet get back
into the pennant race. Just whom ne
Is dealing with he will not say.
Fusel, formerly with Seattle as a
pitcher. Is again working out with the
team. He is a good hitter but has
failed to show anything on the slab.

WETZEL IS AT TOP
Spokane Third Baseman Now'
Leads Northwest League. , i
INDIANS STRONG WITH BAT
Portland's "ew Catcher Shows Class'
and Swain Is Well Up in lilst.
Vancouver Second in Hitting
and Run-Getting Records.
Tho race for the Individual batting
honors of the Northwestern League
grows closer every day, with the big
top-notchers being scaled down grad
ually, point by point, by the eternal
law of the averages, and some of the
slow-starting veterans beginning to
come up.
Netzel, the speedy third sacker of
the Indians, is still In the fore of
the regulars, Bradley, Portland's new
catcher, looming up in front for a
short time. Swain, who has been out
of the game for a few weeks, hangs
between Netzel and the next closest
competitor among the regulars. Mana
ger "Eddie" Householder, of Victoria,
who, considering long-distance slug
ging as well as hitting average, is the
toughest batting proposition In the
leagrua for any pitcher to face on his
present form. Mundorff, Netzel'a Port
land rival, is also close up, with Zim
merman, of the Indians, not so far
away that a single day's extraordinary
effort might not shoot him into tha
lead.
Netzel retains his position as lead
ing run-getter and leading base-swiper,
with Frisk his nearest rival in runs
and Harrison, Bob Brown's young
"find," the runner-up for base-running
honors.
Spokane is comfortably In front in
team batting and also holds the best
team records for runs, long distance
hUting and sacrifice hitting. Within
the last week they have had to suc
cumb to Bob Brown's bunch of Beav
ers for the team base-stealing honors,
but the margin is still very close. j
Tacoma is the weakest hitting team'
in the league, on paper, but Lynch'a
men keep on winning games. ;
