Tener Could Use
‘Umps’of This Sort
There is an umpire In the Virginia
League who takes pride In th«» short
ness of the games in which he officiates,
and he has made a. remarkable record.
The umpire In question is Bill McGow
an. who officiated In the Tri-State
League last season, and who was rec
ommended to President Boatwright by
George Graham, president of the Tri-
State League at the time it disbanded
for the season.
McGowan has handled two games that
were through In less than one hour and
16 minutes, and also has an 11-tnning
game In less than one hour and 45 min
utes to his credit.
In no game that he has officiated In
has the time of game exceeded the two-
hour mark, and the best of it is that ho
is a mighty good umpire along with his
speed. No loafing is tolerated and the
players are forced to ginger up at all
times. Judging by some of the games
we have Been here this season, it might
be a pretty good idea for President
Johnson and Tener to get a few umpires
who are proud of a record for quick
games.
Any time a club plays a game in less
than two hours here it is a subject of
comment for the papers. If some sort
of a prize were given for the shortness
of their games it might cause some of
them to consider the fans and waste
less time.

Our Version of an Old Evient.
Paul Revere’s Ride.
'Hooted find spurred, with a heavy stride.
On Ihi opposite shore walked Paul Revere."
1 ~\AEL REVERE (gazing fixedly nt the belfry of Old North Church)—
J Wonder what’s the matter with that fellow? Does he think I ran
wait here all night? I've got a lot of things to do. HI, there she
goes! Whoa, hoy! Whoa, now! (Tugs at horse'? bit.) Stand gtlll, dad-
gum it! One light! (Mounts) Two! Well, less go. Giddup!
"A hurry of hoofs in a villugi■ sheet,
A shape in the moonlight. a bulk in the dark.''
Sleepy Villager (rushing from house)—Hey, whttd's trouble. Whud's
cornin' off.
Raul Revere Redcoatscomln’gldduhmoveonse'f. Giddup!
A Second Villager (hurrying up, half dressed)—Whuddlddy say?
First Villager (rubbing his eyes) I dunno. He talked like he's got
mush tn his mouth. (Nervously) Cer’nly hope they ain’t goin’ to be no
trouble nor nothin’. I’m a peaceable man and I ain’t lookin’ for no muss.
Still—(yelling into depths of house). Hey. Maw! Gldc^tip out o’ that. Gid
rlgh’ dup! Can’t nev’ tell whass cornin’ off.
Second Villager (a reflective man) He’s a-goin' like he’s a-goin’
sommers.
Voice of Revere (from distance)—Giddup!
First Villager—Sounded to me like he said som’pin’ about the red
coats cornin’. I cer’nly hope they ain’t nothin’ goin’ to he doin’ around
here. I cer’nly hate to see any argyment. Still—(yelling into depths of
house.) Hey, Maw! You’d better gid ol’ Betsy loaded up and ready for
me. Can’t, tie’ tell about things. I cer’nly hope they ain’t goin’ to be no
)am nowheres.
Second Villager (reflectively) He’s a-cer’nly a-goin’ like he’s a-goin’
sommers. ’At nlnt no had hawse he’R a-rldln’ neither, though it looked
to me like as if it’s a leetle sore up front. Joo notice it?
First Villager (very nervously)—I didden notice nothin’. I wonder
if ’at fellow's just circulatin’ a rumor to gid people het up? Last thing
I want to see is a muss. (Yelling into depths of house.) Hey, Maw!
You’ll find the buckshot in at leetle cubboard.
Second Villager (reflectively)—I got me a good eilum club around
here sommers. That’ll do me, 1 ’spect. Clubs is all right for redcoats.
Clubs don't waste no powder, clubs don't.
A Third Villager (rushing up excitedly)—Who was ’at bird at went
bustin’ through here just now?
First Villager—I dunno. I didden see him dost up, but he looked
some like Paul Revere. He was a-goin' some. He was a-sayln' som’pin
about the redcoats cornin', but mebbe he was just jokin’. I hope he was.
[ cer’nly don’t want to see no trouble. I’m too peacable. (Still yelling
Into depths of house)—Hey, Maw! Glddah move on!
Second Villager (admiringly)—Oh, Paul is sure a goer when he gids
a-goin'.
Third Villager (peevishly)—Well, ain’t he got no sense wakin' people
up at this time o'nlght?
First Villager—Mebbe it ain’t so what he says. You can’t believe
ev’thing you hear nowadays. Mebbee he was just excited. I would just
natch’ly hate to see trouble. (Yelling into depths of house.) Hey, Maw-!
Mebbe you'd better put an extra heavy load in ol’ Betsy. Slip in a few
slugs for luck.
Second Villager—I got me a good big eilum club.
Third Villager (warmly)—I don't believe it's so. I don't believe no
redcoats ts cornin’. Anyway. I kin lick the best redcoat I ev’ see on a
rabbitskin. They was a fellow come through here about three years ago
hollerin’ around about them redcoats cornin’ and I set up all night but
nothin’ happened. You ’member ’at, don't you? I’m a-goln’ to report 'at
Revere to the village author’tles ’at's whud I'm goin’ to do. 'Round here
'sturbin' people at all hours! '
Second Villager (fondly) Cer’nly a-goin’ to have myself a redcoat If
they come thtsaway. Cer’nly will. I got me a good big eilum club.
First Villager (sorrowfully)—I'm peaceable, I am. I don’t want no
trouble. (Yelling into depths of house)—Hey, Maw! I guess mebbe you’d
better gid out a few flatirons for yourse’f while you’re about it.
Fourth Villager (angrily)- 1 don’t believe (he’s a thing in it. I ain’t
a-goin' to pay no attention to rumors like 'at. How docs anybody know he
wasn't drinkln’, or som’pin'? You can’t nev’ tell about seeh matters. I
don't believe no redcoats ts cornin’, and if they do I kin lick any one of 'em.
Second Villager Cer’nly a-goin’ to wrap ’at eilum club around some
redcoat's neck. Cer’nly am.
Fourth Villager—Well, I don't believe they’s a word of truth in It. I
lon't believe no redcoats is cornin’. I got me a pitchfork, two rifles and a
ix up to my place, and I bet it’ll just be my luck not to git no chanst
to use ’em. T
First Villager (yelling, into depths of house)—Hey, Maw! 'At reminds
ne 'at you'll find a scythe In tinner the bed. Just lay- it out sommers.
Fourth Villager (truculently)—I kin lick any redcoat with one hand
,ied behind me, and my feet In a hole, but I’ll bet anybody in this town
igh' now 'at I don’t gid no chanst to try it. Im in favor o’ doin' som’pin’
ibout 'at Paul Revere runnin' through this town ’sturbin’ people, if nothin’
comes off.
Second Villager (reflectively)—Wonder If 1 could trade Paul out of ’at
hawss? Looked like a good liawss to me. Leetle sore up front, mebbe,
but fast. Well, I don’t care if them redcoats come or not. I got me a good
eilum club.
First Villager (yelling into depths 6f house)—Hey, Maw! Heat up a
few kettles o’ water, too Well, genTmun, I sincerely trust they ain’t
a-goln’ to be no trouble. I’d hate to see It come off.
Fourth Villager (gloomily)—Don't worry. They won’t come. I nev’
did have no luck.
Second Villager—I don’t care one way or t’other. I got me a good
big eilum club. Ain’t nothin' like a good big eilum club close up. Ev’ try
a good big eilum club?
First Villager (resignedly)—I'd do mos’ anything to avoid a muss.
I cer’nly hate trouble. I ain’t a-goln’ do nothin' to no redcoat lessen they
pick on me fust. Even then I don’t know whud I’d do. Can’t nev’ teli.
(Yelling Into depths of house)—Hey, Maw! Ev’thing ready? All righ',
then, you jest set around sommers handy-like, and we’ll see whud's cornin’
off.
Voice of Revere (borne on a distant wind)—Giddup!

Coffey Once Counted
Out Fight Referee
Jim Coffey, the Irish giant, who has
won the right to fight Jesse Willard,
made the hit of his life by accident,
and got credit for being a comedian,
then gave himself away.
It happened in Coffey’s first fight
which was against A1 Benedict. Coffey
never had seen a reguaJr fight and did
not know the rules. In the first round
Benedict dropped him flat on his back
and he remained blinking on the floor
while the referee stood over him count
ing.
Coffey got up at 8. not knowing that
two more seconds would have lost him
the fight. In the second round the two
rushed Into a desperate slugging match.
Billy Moore, the referee, tried to sep
arate them and both men, swinging
wildly, landed on him and both Moore
and Benedict dropped.
Benedict leaped to his feet, Coffey
holding him at arms length, stood over
the referee and swinging his arm com
menced to count ‘Wan, two, three."
And Moore arose groggy with the crowd
howling with delight.

THE SPORT FOR THE FOURTH
Trapshooting Adds Recreation to Cele
bration.
Once more the “Glorious Fourth” rolls
around, and with its arrival comes the
snapping of torpedoes—the bark of fire
crackers and many other methods of
celebration. And also once more comes
the sincere plea of the commonsense re
former for safety and sanity.
The spirit of the Fourth is indeed
hard to curb, and justly so. For the
small boy, yes, even the grown-up. must
give vent to his pent-up patriotism.
And noise must be Inherent with the
occasion else it would not be much of a
Fourth.
While we have no serious complain!
to make with things as they are, still
one can not deny the Just claims of the
safe and sane Fourth advocate. Acci
dents will happen and the casualty list
of the great national holiday often to
tals up into surprising figures. On the
other hand, instead of trying to curb
the celebration tendencies of the vig
orous American youth this question
arises, Why not educate him to a sport
which gives zest to the day and adds
real recreation to the spirit of celebra
tion
Nothing could be more appropriate or
enjoyable than a “trapshooting’
Fourth, and, incidents 1\\ no other sport
could be more educating in its influ
ences. it is not only tilled with the true
patriotic spirt. but it is a first-class
education in the handling a%d skillful*
use of firearms- a virtual gun training
that goes hand-in-hand with the pres
ent -day advocacy of the “nation’s sec
ond defense.’’
Furthermore, its tendency to develop
alert, quick-thinking minds and the
abilitj to concentrate ana exercise rapid
judgment is a factor not to be lost sight
of. to say nothing of the degree of real
physical exercise the sport affords.
Better still, it is a pastime that may
be indu ged in by all ages and both
sexes, aud offers an ever-present chal
lenge to the skill of both expert and
novice. It never grows old or tiring be
cause the tricky flight of its feaiherless
targets presents a new problem at every
spring of the trap.
As an indication of the secure hold
that this clean, democratic sport has
taken upon its devotees, perhaps it i«
only necessary to add that this Fourth
will witness thousands of shooters
drawn up about “the score”—the
threshold which marks the entrance into
the game.
Competitions will be held all over the
country, and the members of a majority
of the gun c ubs will compete for many
pleasing trophies. Also, perhaps, many
titles will change .hands.
Nor will the participation in a number
of these events he limited only to the
masculine sex. In many parts of the
country the women are taking a keen
interest in the sport, and this is as it
should be, for surely there can be no
more enjoyable pastime than trapshoot
ing.
Warhop Says Polo
Mound Ruined Him
There have, been many kicks from
visitjng hatters over tl.e advantage
given pitchers by the unusual elevation
of the mound at the Polo Grounds, but
now' comes the first protest ot that
nature by a pitcher Jack Warhop de
clares that “Mount Fabian.’’ as this
mound is known among the players '
practically put him out of business.
“For a man who pitches underhanded
as 1 do.” said Warhop, “it is practically
impossible to get a foothold and thereby
control the ball. When I take the s’' 1 -
before throwing the hall my first foot
*s six or eight inches lower than the
back one. and I am tilted at ar. angle
that affects my control. I don’t know
whether this kind of a mound is legal
or not. but it is certainly unfair to tin
pitcher. In addition to affecting the
pitching, it interferes seriously with the
handling of ground balls. The other
day Fisher made a hurried step to pick
up a bunt, and almost fell on his face.’
Other Yank pitchers are kirki’- so
vigorously that »n effort is being made
to have Groundkeeper Fabian lower the
mound six Inches.
