DECISIONS MADE TOO QUICKLY
KLEIN Says Officials Cause Trouble by
Deciding Close Plays Hurriediy.

Umpire Klein says that the general
tendency of knights of the indicator is
to call their decisions too fast. before
the play is really over, and thereto
hang nearly half of the mistakes they
make and Of the trouble they have
with the players and spectators.
During one of the recent Pittsburg
series In Chicago Klein worked very
leisurely, so far as calling decisions
was concerned. The time he took on
some of them was noticeable to all.
Il have made up my mind that a
large part of the trouble we umprns
have and the dissatisfaction caused by
our decisions come from the fact that
we make them SO hastily" said nv
Klein.
NATURALLY we want to make our de-
cisions sharp. clear and decisive, that
every one may know we are not guess
ing on what happened. but are thor
oughly convinced in the way we have
ruled. Lack of positivencsS in giving
close decisions is sure to bring on you
a heap Of trouble with the players,
who will take every advantage Of the
umpire.
Still, there is an immense amount Of
kicking because the umpire calls BAN
or strike before the ball is actually
over the plate, so that the break IS
really missed That hurts either the
pitcher or the batter. and a kick is sure
to follow. The same holds true on
base decisions that are close We
might just as we'll wait until the play
is entirely over before waving run
ner safe or out, and then We'll not
have to change our decisions because
something has happened right on the
heels Of the play on which we had
just ruled. A little less haste will re-
suit in good deal more accuracy"

The Color of the Diamond.

"a peculiar and interesting thing"
said an expert, sis the fact that the
most beautiful the color of the dia-
mond the more imperfect it Is In many
instances. In pile of hundred
yellow diamonds nearly all will run
perfect. For years Americans would
have only the perfect stones, but now
they have learned the basis Of selection
is brilliancy and beauty and that a
small spot, If 1t doesn't affect the bril-
liancy, is Of no Importance. Euro
peans long have bought their diamonds
in this way for color and not for per-
tection."-Kansas City Star.

Great Lovers of Water.

The Siamese are more devoted to the
water than any other nation In the
world. They are nearly always bath
ing, generally with their clothes on,
and they never go anywhere by land
if they can possibly go by water The
streets OF Bangkok are like those of
Venice, and the inhabitants say that
their idea of paradise would be town
with canals where there were currents
in both directions, SO that they might
be spared the effort of rowing.
