TIVE UMPJnE IN BAsEBALL.
Unlike the Fight referee or the Race
Judge, He Can't Call Any
Play Draw.

Good umpires are rare. In tho
whole country there are not more
than ten first-rate ones. The comb
nation of the keen eye, min BILE brain,
and cold nerve is not cor mon one
The umpire is the chain lightning
of baseball. His decisions are rem
dered in the fifth part of second;
he renders them knowing that he
must stand by them afterward, no
matter what happens. Every man
inside the fence, whether blinded by
prejudice or loyalty to the home
team, sees the same tb :ngs, and
therefore feels that he has right
to his own opinion; but the umpire
is the one man who is paid to know
what he sees.
The prize fight referee sometimes
has to decide which boxer won a
hard battle. He has had time in
which to review the situation; the
whole moving picture of the fight
stretches backward in his memory
Should the choice prove difficult
one, there is always the comfortable
middle ground-the draw decision
in which neither man wins or loses.
The baseball umpire can render no
draw decisions. The man f. safe or
he is out.
When two race horses come nod
ding down to the wire and two noses
flash by the post so close together
that finger-breadth means thou
sands of dollars To the hackers, the
race track judge may fall back on

| pire has no dead heats. Watching
foot and ball, he must know which
one was first. He can confer with
no one Right or wrong, the judg-
ment must be made in the twinkling

INSURANCE INSTRUMENTATION.

If one is to believe all the state
ments made by applicants for life
insurance policies, some families
have been distinguished by very
curious, not to say inexplicable, hap
penings. The British Medical Jour-
nal selects few of the most amusing
blunders:
Mother died in infancy.
Father went to bed feeling we'll,
and the next morning woke UP dead.
Grandfather died suddenly at the
age OF 103 Up to this time he bid
fair to reach ripe old age.
Applicant does not know anything
about maternal posterity, except that
they died at an advanced age.
Applicant does not know cause of
mothers death, but states that she
fully recovered from her last illness.
Applicant has never been fatally
sick.
Father died suddenly; nothing
serious.
Applicants's brother, who was an
infant, died When he was a mere
child.
Grandfather died from gunshot
wound, caused by an arrow. shot by
an Indian.
Applicants fraternal parents died
when he was child.
Mothers last illness was caused
from chronic rheumatism. but she
was cured before death.

WHALE CAUGHT IN TREE TOP.

A large whale, supposed to be one
of the two that for several summers
past have been sporadically cruising
in the waters near Tacoma, got tan
gled up in the top of a water-logged
fir tree lying in shallow water off
the southern extremity of Vashon Is
land. The big cetacean was swim
ming too close in shore and grounded
on the trees.
There was mighty splashing and
Tapping as the frightened sea NAM
NAL thrashed ground. For several
moments it appeared unable to free
itself, but finally with a tremendous
struggle and with it's tail churning
the shallow water to foam, it slid off,
spouting water, and made tracks" in

who saw the scene, for deep water.
How badly it was hurt they were not

CHICAGO LETTER

$4,655,000 blunder will go down
in the history of Chicago, as the
bitterest disappointment in the re-
cords. BY the failure to comply
with the law the vote in favor of
bond issues which would pay for
themany needed over the Chicago
river, the expected Improvement
plans We're knocked into q cooked
hat. The ordnance directing that a
proposed bond issue be submitted to
the voters required that the quest
ions be submitted at special cleo
ton for that purpose whereas it
was submitted at a general election
and no notice was given in advance
that the question of the bond is
sue would be put upon the ballots.
Consequently attorneys for bond
houses and banks which had agreed
to take the securities declared all
the issues were invalid and WORTH
less, in which opinion attorneys for
the city agreed. The low was par
ticularly severe because the bust
ness interests of the bond issues and
now all the money and effort spent
in that campaign is found to be de-
feated through this blunder of some
one. The dilemma is made worse
oy the fact that the federal govern
ment has no money in sight to pay
for the new ones. There now are
no bridges across the river at sew
eral of the downtown streets, and
bridges in several other streets have
been ordered out by the federal gov
rnment and as many more have been
condemned as unsafe.

FOR
APPOINTMENT Of
FIREMEN VETOED
East Orange Fire Board Thinks
Mayor Will Agree to
Need.Of Men.

A veto was received from Mayor
Gregory at lastsnight's meeting of the
East Orange Fire Board of a resolution
appointing two additional firemen. As
one commissioner was absent no ac-
ton was taken toward sustaining the
veto or repassing the resolution.
Commissioner John Reeve says he
will have a conference with Mayor
Gregory and believes the appointment
of the two men, who recently passed
the civil service tests, will be agreed
to by the executive after he learns the
facts In the case.
Mr.. Reeve is of the opinion that some
outsiders have been telling Mayor
Gregory that there is no need of add
ing any more men to the department,
while the board insists the men are
needed, and he claims the executive
has been nisinformed.
Should the mayor fail to agree to the
naming of the men, who have not yet
gone on duty, Mr.. Reeve said he
thought the commission would pass
the resolution over the veto.
Mayor Gregory holds that he desires
that the commission acquaint him with
these matters in advance, SO that he
can act intelligently when resolutions
are presented to him.
