Players and fans alike were surprised by Joe's action, yet I believe that :y his resignation he has called attention to things that were wrong that otherwise would not have gotten across to the public. It's a shame that a man of Werner's capabili- ties cannot be kept at the job, but a man in business for himself just Bears Win By Length Over Wash.

Red Lynn, pitch-: in shape. ‘Werner gave it au he had ana no more can be asked of any man. I believe, as a player, that most of his troubles can be laid at the door of the department of umpir-| ing. For the most part the umping basn't been too :ad, all things con- sidered. The only trouble has heen that in most cases Joe had to beg them to do the job. Umpiring is a thankless task in Juneau. The Fans abuse you, the players cuss you, and you're likely to get hit by a foul ball or a scatter-armed in- fielder. As a player, I'll argue as much or perhaps more than the next guy, but it is my thought that it wouldn't be baseball it you didn't. However, I don't condone profanity directed at “His Umps” or kicking dirt on him, or shoving him, and several other practices I've seen in four seasons playing in this league. It is my considered opinion that the umpires should be! paid a goodly sum to do the job and te presented with a copy ot the 1949 rule book. One of the best ball and strike men in the league hasn't umped this season because he is a business man and believes that he may hurt his business by doing it. And some of the players end fans are just hard hearted enough to do that little thing. As for fan support it certainly could be better. I believe that we are playing better ball this year than any time since the war. The scores have been close, the pitch- ing terrific, the fielding has im-| proved, and in most cases so has| the thinking of the players. There | hbuve teen fewer mental errors this ! year than ever before. I know that I feel like really hustling when there is an appreciative and size- It was Al Ulbrickson, Washington coach, who said Lefore the three- mile Hudson river grind, that the shell that could show strength in the last mile would be the one to win. His prediction came true, but he had an idea the order of finish in Saturday’s race would be dif- ferent Ulbrickson really thought he had the fastest finishing eight on the river. That's how he had been training his boys. When the Huskies whipped into the lead at the start, it lcoked as though they would take the classic for the sec- ond straight year. But Ky [Eoright's confident Olympic champions of California had other ideas. They permitted Washington to open up daylight in the first two miles, but then raising their beat steadily until it hit 37, they pulled away in the final lap to win by about a toat length. Strung out behind the two lead- ers were, in order: Cornell, Navy, Princeton, Penn, Wisconsin, Colum-{ bia, Eyracuse, Stanford, M.LT., and' Rutgers. Washington was not to be denied part of the glory, though. The Huskies won hoth the frosh and junior wvarsity events, the former at two miles and the latter at three. The winning Calitornia var- sity clocking was 14:426, while the Washington Jayvees were caught in ar. even 16:00. Washington's yearl- ings did the two miles in 9:40.2. Bad weather delayed the varsity race for over an hour and the river was choppy. ATTENTION GILLNETTERS See Burrows Welding Co. for Pro- peller Baskets. 30 6t the drama motivates into a near tragedy.
