Cal Ewing, president of the Pacific

coming season. There is now but one
vacancy left in this department and the
third man is expected to be named
within few days McGreevy was Sc
lected as an indicator man a few days
ago.
The Coast league is fortunate in Sc
curing the services OF a man OF McCar-
thy's ability, as he is a veteran umpire
and he knows the game thoroughly, as
well as being level headed and having
control of the players while they are on
the field.
Mccarthy is not unknown to the local
fans, as he umpired in the Pacific Coast
league a few years ago and last season
he worked in the State league. He also
has had experience in the American
league

NOT BUYING BOOKS

LONDON. March 12.-Both London

In Paris the reason given Tor the

no means OF guiding the public taste.
Literary criticism in newspapers has
become lost art The only mention
or books in journals is contained IN
the paid puffs OF the publishers. Crit
cism has died because praise had be-
come indiscrminate. and the public
cannot be induced TO buy books by

Against such a condition the stomach
