It was Murray's comeback come-back at the fan who had been "riding" him. "I drink the same stuff you do, Murruy," tho Fannetto replied. re-plied. With that the arbiter walked way. It was during tho same series se-ries that Murray had his traveling trav-eling bag stolen. Walking over to the dugout Murray, a day or so later spied the same couple In a box. Neither Nei-ther had made a whimper. "Well, it's Sunday again, and I see you In the same old seats," said the talkative umpire. "You're one of those guys who comes out only on Sundays, hain't you?" Again the fannette dealt Murray Mur-ray a knockout when she said: "We'd come out more often only we don't like to see an umpire um-pire who Is so blind they lift his suitcase out of his vest pocket." Murray didn't say another word until he started calling decisions. |
