BY llRLtN HKI.I,
Associated Preaa Sporta Writer
NEW YORK. Jan. it, (AP)
For mora than a seors years,
torlea of aoma big football gams
each Saturday Included a Una In
the summary. "Umpire. David U
Fults, (Brown)." 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.
"No, they didn't have to cut
By uniform off."

I'm always pitching to you in

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
