BILL DINEEN AS A PITCHER

Better Than Umpire, Bay« Donnie Bush When Arbiter Made Remarks About Tiger Heavers. During a Detroit-Athletic game at Philadelphia, when the Tiger pitchers were getting bumped, Umpire Bill Dl*

neen tried to pass a few appropriate remarks about the pitching of the Detroit heavers. “I could certainly pitch better than that myself, if I went into the box-to-day,” Dineen told Bush as Donnie came to bat. “Yes," answered Bush, “and I wish you were out there pitching. I haven’t made' four hits in one day since you quit, and you know that I made that off you in one game. At that you were a better pitcher than you are umpire.”
