SPORTING NEWS
QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Sporting Editor THE EVENING
JOURNAL: Some time ago I asked
you II you thought 1 should take a
vacation and did not take your advice
What do you think is my trouble, af-
ter seeing me umpire again?
UMPIRE MCMAHON.
You have several troubles, Matchy,
Your main trouble is inability to see.
You should consult an oculist at once
and / think he will ladvise you to at
tend a school for the blind. A base
ball is entirely too small for you TO
see. 1t would be better for the play
ers to use a balloon when you arc
umpiring. Go at once to the oculist
and II he advises you to continue UNI
piring. please fall and break a leg Oh
your way back to the ball park.
Sporting Editor THE EVENING
JOURNAL: think have been talk
ing too much in the newspaper and
doing nothing. DO you think should
desist?
TERRY CARVIN.
Yes. Terry, for heavens sake cut it
Beat IL for the mountains and don't
come back for a year. Mousley is
getting ready to fight now and unless
you do beat It he will call your bluff
and you will need a hospital instead
of the mountains.
Sporting Editor THE EVENING
JOURNAL: I want TO see some real
baseball fighting. Where shall / go?
FAN.
Hike to New Castle That is the
town where you can see two fights
for the price Of admission to the ball
game. One is a good game and the
other is an assault on the umpire. II
don't make any difference who Is UNI
piring he gets assaulted anyway and
II the league president is in town you
are liable to see him booted about the
grounds also. The fans all look like
/ Wild tigers and don't attempt TO UNI
I pire for them for they bite.
