All Around the Raspberry Bush (Continued from page 11) speak louder than words, he heaves a pop bottle. Now and then he tears a newspaper into tiny bits and sends the home-made confetti fluttering over the head of an obnoxious outfielder who happens to be chasing a fly at the moment. Sometimes he razzes everybody on the field just for the fun of getting fresh. This type is usually the underling who has been stepped on by his employer for years and welcomes the opportunity to step on some one else from the security of the grandstand. You can’t blame him. It’s wonderful to be able to jump on some one in safety. It’s quite an improvement on getting fresh to people over the telephone, which, up to now, has been his only way of getting pleasure out of life. Here, in the grandstand, he can see the man he abuses. And the abused can see him and can’t do anything about it except glare. Sometimes a Cobb ora Ruth climbs up to settle accounts but this is rare, and, then again, there’s always plenty of time to get away. P iAPS we shouldn't be writing this article. Any big league umpire knows more about ng ina minute than we'll ever know. He can tell you about the irate fan who hollers, “What are you gettin’ for throwin’ the game?” He can tell you about the happy boob who laughs and yells, “That's right, kill him!” when he (the umps) is unlucky enough to be struck by the ball. He can tell you, first hand, many things that we can’t. Not that we’ve never been hooted. Once, sitting in the bleach- ers, a hungry fly lit on an ice cream cone we were licking. “What's a fly doing *way out here?” the fan next to us in- quired. “An outfield fly,” we replied as we took another lick. The fan didn’t think it much of a wheeze. Neither did half a dozen others who overheard it. “How do you get that way, foolish?” they all wanted to know. We promised not to do it again. A few months ago, in the course of a game between the Yanks and Washing- tons, the umpire behind the plate dropped a ball that he had been holding in his hand. Nick Altrock, baseball’s _well- known clown, dashed out of the Wash- ington dugout, picked up the ball and handed it to the umpire. As the umpire reached for it, Nick let it drop to the ground, Then he tipped his hat, bowed and walked back to the dugout. The umpire was furious. He turned around and glared at the retreating Altrock. For a full minute he stood there and glowered. The crowd howled. Among those who enjoyed Nick’s performance was President Harding, who smiled broadly. The umpire, rooted to the spot, stood and glared at the chuckling offender, Th owd thought he should have taken Nick’s antics more gracefully. And then the hooting started. Przusrs the most complete razzing ever handed a ball player was that ar he broke in. Rube came up from the bushes with an eleven thousand dollar price given Rube Marquard the 3 tag on him.
