NEW YORK. January 16.-At last
a base ball player has been found
who admits that the umpire is in
a better position to Judge plays than the
player himself. Jack Knight of the New
YORK Highlanders is the wonder in ques-
ton and there is little doubt of his being
the man for whom Diogenes has been
searching all these years.
knight turned base ball writer this win
ter and in one Of his articles in the New
York Press in regard to the umpires
writes as follows:
An umpire, though, is usually in po-
sition to judge plays better than any one
else. The man back of the bat certainly
can see balls and strikes better than any
one who is looking at the plate from an
angle. The field umpire, being at right
angles to runrer. is in the best position
to judge whether the ball or the runner
reached the base first. It's a. common
thing for the bench warmers to howl and
yell murder when man on an opposing
team has been called safe at first on q
close play. The runner looked to be out a
step to them. The first baseman will
come in after the inning Is over and they
all chorus the question, How was that
play?' Then the nrst Sacker, not for pub
LEGATION, but for his teammates only, will
answer, Il felt him hit the bag before I
caught the ball.
The plays at second base, 1 imagine.
are the hardest to judge. Playing short
stop most of the time, and covering the
base when a runner attempts to steal,
have had a great number of such plays to
handle. The runner and the bail arrive
almost at the same time, and I confess
almost three out of five times don't
know whether I've tagged the man before
he hit the base or not. On the other hand.
the man stealing Is just as uncertain, al
though he doesn't admit 1t, and almost in
variably differs from the umpire II called
out.
Every umpire has his own method Of
running the game. Some umpires. notably
Billy Evans and Tim Hurst, get along

There is very little prospect that the

in the intercollegiate regatta on the Hud-

middies did SO well on the Hudson, the
stewards have been anxious to have them

mission. No definite announcement has
yet been made of the Nays 1911 policy,

credit, and in all the innumerable
affairs that crowded his daily life,
whether in or out of the Elective Office,
he proved the statesman and faithful
public servant whom any community
may delight to approve and hold in
honor.
And now that he comes to ask for
primary endorsement, we say, unhesi-
tatingly, he has earned it, should re-
ceive it, and without doubt will. Vir-
ginia never experienced the era OF
public advancement along every line
that she did during Swanson's adj
ministration as Governor, nor was
her progress eyer more directly attri-
butable to the wise, resourceful and
energetic course of ore man. His very
presence in the gubernatorial office
was positive inspiration to public
spirit and progress. That the same
will be true of his Senatorial career
is as certain as anything can reason
ably be. Swanson is a worker, not
merely for show, but for what he can
accomplish for his people. That's
the kind of Senator Virginia wants,
and she'll send him back to the Sen
ate unless we miss our guess.
