KELLY AP Feature Service Writer The big league umpires are very tired. They should be for the cur- rent season has been one of the toughest they’ve gone through in years—and umpiring is never a cinch even in a “quiet” year. Old timers have to scraich their heads to remember the year that saw as many arguments between arbiters and players or @ many fines levied as the 1937 season has witnessed. Pictures of militant batsmcn calling the ball-and-strike judge a bum have appeared with astounding regularity in the daily papers since April. Since 1915 biy league wvmpires have gone about their tasks with one idea in mind—to keep the base- ball game moving. In so doing, they see that the thousands of ¢ tomers, who each year spend mi lions of dollars to see the spectacles, get their money’s worth. When Dizzy Dean and Jim Rip- ple drew $50 fines for their leading roles in the Cardinals-Giants fra- cas at St. Louis some months ago the country’s papers frontpaged the incident. When Burleigh Grimes was soaked $50 for umpire-baiting early this season he made the edi- torial pages in the press. Why? Well, such things aren’t supposed to hoppen any more. In the old days it was different. Half the populace went to the ball-; games to see two teams play the game; the other half went to bait the umpire—or so it seeme those times “Kill the Umpire” was the unfailing alibi for the home‘ team’s defeat. Then 50 per cent of | the umpire, the “gas house gang” going got too tough. well. The late John McGraw, sworn enemy of umpires along with his contemporary, Ty Cobb, banned an umpire from “the park on one oc-} casion. ~ After the Giants had for- feited one game, accordingly, the president of the National League| escorted the umpires into the park’ the following day. It wasn't always umpires. During the mauve decade one man pre- sided in all departments. Natur- ally it was impossible for him to be right every time. Then, from about 1905 until 1915, two men officiated. Since that time there have been at least three umpires on duty in| | all major league contests. Result: greater accuracy, greater safety. It's not an easy life—this (;alllngi them-as-you-see-’em. Sometimes a | man will make 300 decisions in one afternoon. He doesn't dare let downl for a minute.

Handy, journalism ad- |viser, gave the position to Patricia |because she wished to have exper- ience at heading every department of the paper, and because he had found her to be “a very fipe journal- ist, no matter what her job might be.” Committees Are Named hy Glasse For Red Gross Announcement was made today by the Rev.
