"If women were umpiring none of this [rowdyism] would happen. Do you suppose any ball player in the country would step up to a good-looking girl and say to her, "You color- blind, pickle-brained, cross-eyed idiot, if you don't stop throwing the soup into me I'll distribute your features all over you countenance!"
