This Is q tale Of the joys Of an UNI

southern justice.
There is a pitcher. Reagan, we'll
call him, who now is in another
league. He is a spitban pitcher and a
little tight bundle Of nerve and eour-
age, with a temper that fits the Rea-
gan exactly.
A season or so ago he was pitching
for Mobile. A few days ago ! met

But what did you do?"
Me? Nothin' Just had a little
run-in with the umpire. Then they
dragged me of the field, tried to mob

His voice quivered again.
But what did you do? They couldn't
do that for nothing"
Say, you don't know them south

get sore on a northerner."

An unusually peculiar damage suit
has Just been decided in New York
by which the widow Of a fire chief
has been awarded $4,000 for the loss
of his life in a furniture establish
ment fire. The chief fell through an
open well hole in the building into a
cellar half filled with water and was
drowned before he could be rescued.
The open well hole was in violation
Of a city ordinance. This suit, with
its large damages, will help to EN-
phasize the highly important fact that
such ordinances are intended to pre-
vent Just such accidents, and that dis
regard Of them leads to criminal and
civic liability when a life is lost.
There are many ordinances OF the
kind held lightly in regard until a
fatal accident shocks the authorities
into enforcement.

Since It has been decided to estab-

at Coney island, other and ever more
ambitious plans for its improvement
have been formulated. These include
a continuous walk and drive along
the entire FIVE miles Of its water
front, and a new bulkhead line. which
has been authorized by government
engineers. A contract has been let
for a rip-rap wall, forty feet thick
at its base and twenty feet at the
top, surmounted by a concrete walk.

Nagging umpires often gets to be

the crowd always thinks the umpire

hurts the umpire's feeling is the nag

amounts to much, but keeps at 1t. For
