LURE OF DIAMOND STRONG
SAYS VETERAN OF GAME
The lure of the diamond!
Once a man has been in profes
sional baseball. It's the hardest
thing in the world to keep out of
it.
C. E. Irwin, who managed the
San Francisco club in ihe days
when Tacoma was in 'he Coast
league, and who only left the dia
mond last year, after 19 years'
active service, is thinking of go
ing back.
Irwin spent his last two seasons
as an umpire in the American
Association. Last year lie iui;
the game, because he round that
en umpire's summer salary
wouldn't buy groceries .nil winter,
and got a Job with the Milwau
kee.
His work takes him ill the
way from Chicago—his present
home—-and Tacoma. He Is here
every few weeks. Yesterday a
telegram reached him from Mrs.
Irwin, saying that Frank C. '/.fli
tting, president of the Western
league, had offered him a fine
Job as umpire in that circuit.
"I don't know whether to ac
cept or not," said Irwin. "I got
this place with the Milwaukee
road because I wanted an all
year Job. and wanted to get out
at baseball. They don't pay any
