July 30 - (UP) — National loathe player repreaentatlves were in the next room talking about the future and 72-year-old Bill Klein was talking about the past The chief of the Nallonaf league uinpring staff, still hiking about ax fit ax at any time during his 42 year* In blue, was making a momentous admission for man who coined the phrase "1 never missed one in my life." “I don't claim to be infallible," he *aid "I guess I did make one mistake." Waving his short, stubby arm* I and wiping th? perspiration from his bald pale, the old arbitrator opined a* how it really wan only, one, though. "Urry Doyle was running to first and he wu* deceptively fast," Klem recalled In hl* famed boom Ing voice. "Well. I called the play too quick and he beat the throw as I turned my head. John McGraw pulled a fainting act in the coaching box and Ignored him, too." Klem, who devised the arm motion of calling strikes, balls and onts. nostalgically reminisced about nece*«ity being the mother ot | Invention. “When I first broke In." he said. I “It was cnxlom <>i yell Hie count Well, my vole .< m't too strong and before I 1, v it I wan visiting npeclaliat , in New York. Pittsburgh and Chicago. Ho I set onto strengthen my voice. I'd ride off into the woods, tie my horse to a tree and start shouting. It scared the horse to death-but didn’t do my throat mnch good." So Rill thought up the arm motions, along with the habit of drawing a line in the dirt and defying angry player* to crons it on threat of expluslon from the name. Both ot them, he admitted with due iiKxiesty, "were just natural Instinct." "Only one man ever crossed that line," he mused. "That was Frankie Frisch. And when I ord ered him off the field he almost cried and tried to convince me that he hadn’t crossed it." The little stout man laughed uproariously at the recollection. But some of his greatest sessions of strife were with the late Me Graw, of whom Klein was genuinely fond. And one of his soundest memories Is two related Incidents In which Klem--as usual came off the victor. The flrat waa a rules argument, in which he "took" McCraw for 3500 and then tossed the money )>ack disdainfully. It wax the next summer in Boston that McGraw stormed out of the dugout to make one of his fiery prelesls. "The same old Klem McGraw howled. "When are ym? going to learn the rules*" "1 learned you the ruiee lax anm
