Show O C HUMOR OF MORIARTY There are some people who insist that umpires are not human, hu-man, have no sense of humor. The following bit of repartee Is offered in rebuttal of such a belief. During a recent series in St. Louis a friend of Umpire George . Morlarty invited him down to the Missouri Athletic club to enjoy a swim. Now It So happens that Morlarty, Mo-rlarty, despite the fact that he Is an all-around athlete, is unable un-able to swim. After thanking his friend for the kind invitation and expressing express-ing his regrets at being unable to accept because of a previous engagement, he remarked: "Perhaps it is just as well, because I swim like paralysis." "How is that?" asked the much-puzzled friend. "One stroke and I'm through," answered Morlarty. |
