OF the ., 900 pupils in the pub

a safe estimate that so per cent
of them are sons Of professional
and business men of the towns
and cities. The greatest-need in
our school system is the high
school within easy reach of the
homes Of the farmers. In these
schools the work should be Of
such character as TO appeal to
them along the lines of better

class of men must be met by umpire OF
nerve and grit.
AS we pass down the history of base ball
we come to the other unpires that were
great, but the conspicuous4y great one for
some years was John GaTney.
If Ban Johnson did nothing else for the
national game than to raise the standard
of the umpre's position, he did enough.
He is the man that put backbone In UNI
pires that would otherwise be driven off
the ball field-but let 1t be said, at the same
time, that he couldn't put nerve in them IL
they didn't have 1t; but let it be credited TO
his grand judgment that he picks the men
that combine the qualities OF brave UNI
pire.
The two best men today, and / have said
it before, are O'Day and Sheridan. There
are other good umpires, such as tombstone,
Emslie, O'Laughin and Hurst. / viii say.
without any Partially, that Tim Hurst is
one of the gamest and squarest men that
ever occupied the umpire's position. As
for the aggressive captains of the present
day, there are very few that know when to
kick and when not to kick. There Is such
a thing as going TO the precipice but not
going over it. The captain or manager OF
brain is always a first-class general on the
ball field. He knows what to say and how
TO say it. He knows also when to put
stop to his players. But the magnate or
bench To hound an umpire all through the
known of many a young player wao had
great promise of becoming a star who was.
spoiled altogether by having the duties OF
a captain put on him when his knowledge
