mt albert last tuesday for another big win they outhustled the home team 123 in the latest contest against pefferlaw critten den faced only 24 batters the minimum is 21 in seven innings despite a pounding headache she effectively frustrated pefferlaw into flyout situations the visit ing team had a difficult time just grounding hits for singles the stingers drew first blood when lisa blanchard

obvious warmup for the pefferlaw confrontation that followed who wants to be an ump by kelly conn parti umpires are not in the softball business for the money you dont get rich call ing balls and strikes behind a dusty homeplate so it must be love of the sport that beckons these men and women to throw themselves to the spec tatorlions and not too many people want to throw themselves in the lions cage behind homeplate or even first base bob french is a senior umpire in the stouffville- whitchurch goodwood area hes part of a rare breed of travellingumps that almost obsessively find themselves in numer ous ballparks across ontario in the course of a week he said he loves the game but admitted it can play havoc with his social life i prefer umping in tournaments where youre not known in the local leagues some spectators know you so theres this familiarity problem that you mustdeal with he re marked french added theres a common trend among hometown spectators to praise the work of a fore ign umpire and complain about the local officiating an umpire like french makes an average 300 to 400 calls in one fastpitch game instantaneous yells of ball strike safe out and even the brash youre outta this game ejection call can take its toll sometimes the people forget were only human said the goodwood resi dent we can make 99 good calls out of a 100 thats almost a per fect game but the one bad call we make thats the one everyone remem bers that clement of stress or persistent spectator objec tions could explain why the turnover rate of new youngumpircs is alar mingly low according to 1985 softball ontario fi gures 26 people have been carded become official umpires in stouffville 14 uxbridgc 9 and good wood 3 to date french perceived that number as a very small fraction of the total appli cant group that may have applied for cards more people have applied for cards this year but they havent been carded yet however softball ontario spokesperson laurie chinnick explained that some applicants attend the various oneday umpire and rules clinics write the takehome exam but never return marking french thinks the weak committment response is in part a reaction from dis illusioned teenagers the kid gets into a game he gets yelled at and then he says i dont need this maybe the young umpire does have a gripe not everyone wants to be in that vulnerable position behind homeplate on a full- count call with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning in a cham pionship tiegame next week two umps tell how they handle irate fans and the physic
