Zimmer meet Umpire Doris 1o maxrumor Tundaym121m By GARRY FORBES Of The Examiner pire Doris Laroche near home plate where Carleton Fisk has iust been called out in cloud of dusty confusion There would be no nosetonose confrontation with the bulgyeyed managers hands clumped defiantly on his hip fat while he talks mile minute and kicks dirt No Doris Laroche wouldnt even argue with little Don When he hesitated for second to spit brown gob of tobac co juice on the spot where his Fisk allegedly slipped through to score Laroche would explain patiently that she cant understand his Zimmertalk She would then pull out piece of paper and ask the puzzl ed manager to please write down his complaint so it could be more carefully considered probability will never meet the ficsty Boston Red Sox manager at least under those conditions But thats how she would handle such meeting Because thats how she has handled such battles before in her four years of umpiring ladies and slow pitch leagies in the Bar ne area They back off quickly Theres no telling what Major League manager lt might do if an umpire placed blank piece of bond in his palm but says Laroche most of the coaches and managers she has met up with tend to back off rather quickly Thats because they either dont know what theyre talking about in the first place or cool off in hurry when theyre faced with the description of what seemed to be simple straightforward play The vast majority of the complainers however fall into the first category DORIS LAROCIIE just one game There are lot of players around that think they know all the rules says the president and founder of the Barrie and District Girls Softball Association but Ill tell you nine out of ten they dont even know the infieldfly rule La roche knows this because shes asked Many times And her questions have given rise to lot of red faces both on and off the field The lady doesnt consider herself great umpire and doesnt expect anyone else to be great either In fact she has put herself on the inactive list for the Barrie and District Umpires Association an organization she has been part of for most of her umpiring days because she knows her limitations Shes got pretty good idea Now she Wishes lot of other people in baseball would realize theirs And shes got pretty good idea of how they can do it One game Doris Laroche would like to see every area ball player come out and umpire one game in the girls league All youve got to do is phone her up and schedule yourself an hour or so behind the mask in game played by the ponytailset If youve ever considered it at all this is the place to do it Laroches league is more of school of baseball than anything else Everybodys learning and the boss lady has made it clear to the players and coaches that the umpires are not there to take any garbage tell the coaches that most of the umpires are there to learn the same as they are learning she says If theres any problems ask them to refer the questions to me If dont know Ill find out Just think An opportunity to act like Ron Luciano You dont have to of course You can yell OUT very softly if you like Its all so easy The biggest worry in fact is risking the possibility of facing small girl who will surely break into tears when you have to tell her that was her third strike Such is the duty however And if you get good at it some day youll come facetoface with grizzly ugly little Major League manager that just spit tobaccojuice on your shoe What to do Hand him the paper and ask him to explain why he chews that stuff Hi 51 YES WAITER ILL AVE 92 DRAFT Ive always maintained that pro football is three quarters mental said former North Collegiate lineman Jim Corrigall in recent interview Id sure hate to misinterpret the massive Argo beak buster but think saw an example of what hes talking about few weeks ago in local swighouse There right in front of my eyes an offensive lineman from the Orillia Silver Bombers proved he can be as mental It would be something to see Don Zimmer his pudgy face all red and full of chawin tobacco storming out to greet um Bowman announced Monday Mr shuts out Byfield 30 Doris Laroche doesnt know Don Zimmer and in
