Umpire Frederick H. Parsell of Mas

sell.
Freds woes have been multiplying
recently, as he was but a few days
ago depOsed as umpire upon the COM
paint of teams that visited Massil-
lor In the ball games his wrong de-
clslons were responsible for his un-
doing. In the matrimonial game his
donothingness was the principal trou-
BILE. Gross neglect of duty and fail
ure to provide the necessaries of life
we're the grounds upon which the d.
vorce was allowed. Some of the wit
nesses testified that though Parsell
was strong, able bodied man, he
would not work. C..e witness gave as
reason that the defendant was too
tired. Attorney Willison of Massil-
Ion had charge of the case for the wife.
