Amanda Clement grew up in Hudson，South D

问题：

Amanda Clement grew up in Hudson，South Dakota．Baseball was always her fa—

vorite sport．Once in a while her brother Hank and his friends would let her play first

base in their games．More often，however，they asked her to umpire(裁判)for them，

because they knew her calls would be fair and there would be no arguing．

One day in 1904，Amanda and her mother traveled to Hawarden，Iowa，to watch

Hank play for the home team against Hawarden．When they arrived at the ball field，

two local teams were waiting to play a preliminary(预备)game．The umpire hadn’t ar—

rived，so Hank argued that the teams should let his sister serve as umpire．The players

finally agreed．

Amanda，then sixteen and standing five feet，ten inches tall，made perfect calls．

She was so good that players for the main game asked her 10 umpire for them and even

offered to pay her．Thus，at sixteen，Amanda Clement became the first paid female

baseball umpire on record．She is honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown，

New York．
