Baseball Umpires Have an
Easier Time Than Formerly

NEW YORK. Nov. 16-Baschail UNI
IN pires have much easier time now
than they had a few years ago. a fairly
shallow excavation into the buried past
would bring 70 light the days when the
man who gave decisions was regarded as
a pariah. lie was generally desplsed
and a social outcast from all the gath
erings OF the fans. Every mans hand
was against him, and he was tolerated
as r. uecessafy evil.
Nothing shows the upward tendency Of
the game more plainly than the change
in the general attitude toward the UNI
pires. This is due to many causes. In
the first place baseball has come to be
a real national pastlme. In times past
the man who went to baseball game
was classed with the man who was sup
posed to spend his time playing pool
in the rear room OF a saloon.
Now not only the best but tho most
fashionable people In tho land may be
found in the stands and boxes. The
game Is on q higher plane. The genial
ut tho umpire in order to express disap-
provai Of n decision IS no longer smiled
upon He IS fast becoming an extinct
animal. The present baseball public is
composed of intelligent fans, who appre-
clate the fine points OF the game. They

Faking in Boxing Bouts
Is Frequent in Paris,
Says Well-posted Fan

Some boxers are the greatest knock
ers to the game themselves. They
are the kind who go about taking
contests, but luckily for the game,
there are not many OF them. From in
formation ut hand from gay Paree il
appears that some Que is trying to work
the fake game again. An unusually
woll-posted man on boxing says;
lone of the wonders OF Europe is
Inc manner in which the Partisan box.
ing tan stands for palpable fake bouts.
Week after week is seen some con
test IN which things are not straight,
yet the fans roll mp in their thousands
next time for another dose OF the same
medicine. Last week ut Wonderland
the French welterweight, Bernard,
easily beat George Guntber In a style
perpetual disqualification had the bout
been staged at reputable club in Lon.
don. Guutber is n formidable propo.
Sitiou when at his best, but against
Bernard be showed like novice, and
whatever purse money he got for his
performance was moro than enough.
Bernard boxed as though he knew
Gunther was not trying and was easily
the better boxer Of the pair. A solu-
tion Of the puzzle is forthcoming in
the fact that Bernard will now be
matched with Marcel Moreau, n match
he would not have gotten had he been
beaten by Guutber.
son the same evening Leon Lcoscb
met Bert Mougbtou in ten-rouDd bout
which bad all the appearance Of fake.
MoUgbtop is one Of the best bantams in
England, but on his showing with
Loesch he would find it difficult to get
preliminary bouts.
''Another rotten contest was that in
which Henri Piet beat Sid Stage In
fifteen rounds Mt tho Paris Premier-
land Stagg did not pull out his best
punches until the last few rounds,
when ii was too late, and was well
beaten on points''
