Last year aoma other official's name was In hie place and ho appeared no more In white knickers run nine here and there on football Maids, sticking close to the play ers and leaving the ball to the referee, as all umpires do who know their business. Answer Law Dave Fults turned his back on football Just as he left baseball flat 91 years ago when he was near the top of his gsme. The answer then and ii years later was the same the law. He Is a lawver and the demands of bis practice outweighed his love for the games. Tred Murphy (his law part ner) and I decided last year that we would give np otttciaung mmiA Mr Fnlts. "and ao we quit." Murphy wss as well known a referee as was Fults ss an umpire. Umpiring Krl Job "Some people think that a football official baa an easy time, two or three hours each Satur day out In the open, seeing a football game. Not at all. Hours and hours are spent on study of the rules and the actual .n.k durlnr the game Is the smallest psrt of it. "At that. It 18 airauge to aee -a game from the stands alter years of watching tne piayerm close quarters. I only saw one game last season and it was so mid that day I hardly knew -k.t Biih.r Army " or Notre Dame was trying to do, but I felt like a duck out of water, or . trnnlml bird In the Arctic regions." Was Big Lraguer Leaving Brown, where he was fleet halfback, rum wem. iu the Philadelphia Nationals wnere .nrh flanres ss Ed Delabanty. Monte Cross and Elmer Flick were making baseball history, ne was there only a short time, however, and moved over to the Philadelphia Athletics where he played In 1901 and 1902. He then came to New York to play aa outfield position for tie High landers, now the Yankees, in 1903, 1904 and 190S. "I was admitted to the bar In 1906 and quit playing major league baseball to practice law. I had studied law for the seversl .years thst I wss playing base ball. - Bemcmbrra Last Game "My last gsme? I shall not forget it. It was about a week or so before the close of the 1905 sesson. We were playing Cleveland. Kid Elberfeld a.id I ran together while we were chas ing a fly ball between the out field and Infield. My face was In a cast for months as a result of thst collision and I bad to drink my food instesd of eating Griffith Great Worrier "I often think of Clark Grif fith, who was our manager. We did not have a very good ball club and bow he worried. I guess he worries now aa pre.l dsnt of Washington but his troubles cannot be nearly so weighty as they were wen. By the end of the season he looked like a dead man walking around. Misses Contract ,"In a way I miss the con tracts but after all the law is , my profession. 1 couldn't do , both so X had to quit football." Fults was one of the few play, era they can bs counted on the . fingers of one band who left major league baseball when hs was good enough to play. "I would not say I was quite as good when I retired ss 1 had been a year or two before," he said, "but t was fairly fast and had not slipped at that time.

EDITOR'S NOTE! TuU la the flrt of a nerloe of 10 articles on Famous Feats In nasehnl!, by Ullly Evans. Without any Question, to Wal ter Johnson goes ths credit of making the most remarkable big league debut I hare ever seen any twlrler make during the 15 years I have spent in the American League, 23 ot them In the role of umpire. The game was played on Aug ust t. 1907, at Washington with Detroit as the opposing team. The Detroit Tigers of those dsys compared very favorably to the New York Yankees ot ths preseut time. It was a great aggrega tion of sluggers, made up of such noted hitters ss Sam Craw ford. Ty Cobb, Clauds Rossman. Davy Jones, Chsrley Scbmldt, BUI Cougblln and others. Three days prior to his debut. Johnson had arrived in Washing ton from the wilds of Idaho, lie hsd done most of his pitching for the little town ot Wciser. He had j never seen a big league ball game, had no Idea bow to throw a curve ball, while a change ot pace probably would have struck him aa something having to do with a horse race. But ha did have one thing, a fast ball, the fastest ball ever boasted by any major league pitcher. Manager Joe Cantlllon knsw this snd hoped his fast ball would get him by, even though Detroit was noted ss a club that liked fast ball pitching better than any other delivery. It happened I was ths umpire la that msmorsble debut ot ths greet Johnson. He wss beaten J-J. but only after one ot ths If Wishes Were Horses ETC., ETC. Is now out of date.
