Invested in baseball as business are millions of dollare.
 Tt is around the umpire that the whole system of playing ball revolves. Yet the umpire receives less consideration than the most unpromising sub on the bench. In the spring training season you heard of this star and that star. of this recruit, of that recruit, of this manager and that manager but never word of the umpire. Yet it is the umpire upon who the most responsibility rests.
 He must see that the game is played to a finish. He must preserve peace on the field, suppress the unruly spectator and be ready on the instant to give a decision that may mean the loss of the pennant and the accompanying thousands of dol lars"

 Better Than Ever and the
 Game Is Honest
SPIRIT OF SQUARE DEAL
By MANHATTAN

New York, April 9.-(Special. )-The base. ball season which opens on Thursday is going to be the most successful in the history of baseball, predicted Thomas J.. Lynch, formerly an umpire. but now the directing head of the National league, as he sat in his office and cast an eye on the scheduled events for the next week when the big league season opens on Thursday.
 "A quarter of million people will ush- CT in the season." said MT. Lynch, but l estimate that 9,000,OO0 persons will pay their principal dues this season. There can be no denying that baseball is our national sport. It is only necessary to look upon the vacant lots and you will see boys of every age and kind playing ball and all keenly interested in the sport"
 When the cry Play ball' is sounded abroad over the land next week the Ma tional league will launch into a new sea- son under masterful guidance. "Honest Tom Lynch, as he is called by his friends, has been known as the King of Empires" for years, and it is only necessary 10 LOOK dI HIS cillH anu lnlO HIS eyes to realize that he is man with a purpose.
 Baseball owes it's popularity today to It's honesty" said President Lynch. "Ii there is one thing that an American likes 1t Is a square deal. Let him get into his head that game is crooked and he is through with 1t.
 "A square deal. though, does not near that the home town can't lose, although this used to be so in the old days. Twen. ty years ago the baseball fan was 6 man with the idea that the home team should never lose, Be honest, but don'' you dare lose, was the admonition at that time, and heaven help the umpire thai made the home team lose.
 Tt was this spirit that was the great fst enemy baseball has ever had in this country.
 'The ball players today, with all due respect to the men who played in the past are better as class. The college player s also responsible. The brains on the ball field today are not confined to the pmpire, but they are to be found beneath ,he caps of every player.

Short was unable to detect anyone, nor was he able to form any idea as to who the party was. The gun was loaded with bird shot and these struck him back of his right ear. For tunately the wound, while painful, is not, serious. Dogs were sent for from Colonel Higdon's kennels and they arrived about four hours after the shooting occurred. They took the trail, pursuing it for about 150 yards, stopped as if the person had ascended the cut. Beyond it the woods were afire and the burning leaves caused such an impediment to further pursuit that those having charge of the dogs had to abandon 1t.
