It's their business to win even arguments. And so it is with umpires. There's Silk O'Loughlin, for example, who admits lie never made a mistake on a decision. The following incident we have on the word of a ball player. It concerns Hugh Jennings, boss of the Tigers. Dauss was pitching for Detroit and Spencer catching. The enemy had runners on second and third and two were gone. Dauss wound up and the batter crashed out a single, scoring both men. When the Tigers returned to the bench Jennings spoke to Spencer: "You ought to have known better than signal for a fast ball," he said. "He hits that kind a mile." . "I didn't call for a fast one, it was a curve," protested Spencer. "It looked like a fast one to me," said the manager. "Ask Donie Bush about it," said Spencer. "He gets the signs." "It was a curve all right, Hughie," remarked the shortstop. "Well, it was too low anyway," said Jennings. |
