DIAMOND GABFEST
No Need of Empires in Valley
 League Ball Games
Players Able and Willing to Make All Decisions and Hold Conventions in the Field Nice, Sociable Time at Calezico Game.

An impression appears JO Oe prevalent that the gathering at Calexico on New Years day was either a Douma or a Farmers In- stitute. That is erroneous. The congregation of eloquent and vo- ciferous persons in the centre of an otherwise unoccupied block of ground was the Calexico baseball team zealously endeavoring to assist the umpire in changing l his opinions. Almost every mem- Der of the team was ready to drop all other business at an inc stant's notice and rush to the umpire's aid, and at times the, manager and numerous citizens kindly assisted in the delibera- tions. Unfortunately the acous- tic properties of the field were defective, and persons on the outer edge of the crowd could not hear always the interesting de- bates on balls and strikes, fair and foul balls, which were the subjects discussed with much an imation.
 The spirit of helpfulness per meated the team so thoroughly that the outfelders even were ready to stop playing ball and run up to the centre of the dia- mond to inform the umpire that what he imagined to be ball was really a strike.
 The El Centro team was less accommodating as a rule, and it frequently happened that there were no more than ten or twelve umpires on the field at one time. Forgetting that in a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom, or lacking the inclination to help a fellow citizen out of a difficulty, the El Centro catcher and pitcher sometimes remained coldly indif- ferent and aimlessly toyed with ball while the Committee of the Whole on Fouls was in session.
 As the game is played in the Valley League, an umpire is be- coming an obsolete superfiuity and may as well be dispensed with. The players are entirely competent and more than willing to decide all questions that may arise. The pitcher is not so busy that he hasn't time to call balls and strikes, and the centre fielder finds no difficulty in judging fouls and put-outs at the home plate. The Calexico team at least is equal to all emergencies of the sort and never shirks the responsibility.
 One serious objection to the
 participation of an umpire in the proceedings is that he sometimes
 remains impervious to argument
 and unresponsive to eloquent ap-
 peals to his finer nature, and by obstinate adherence to his own mistaken views he delays the game and irritates the spectators.
 In the last half of the ninth inn ing last Wednesday the entire
 Calexico team spent fifteen min
 utes holding a gabfest with the
 umpire in a fruitless attempt to
 make him see that a CaleXico
 batter was entitled to first base
 on a foul strike. What is the
 good of an umpire who is not
 amenable to reason and cannot
 be moved by argument?
