caused much amusing comment in

lest settlement of a Norwegian col

to, 1924, very shortly after the set
Element by the Pilgrim Fathers.
They settled in New Jersey, on the
west bank of the Hudson river, and
gave the name of their home town,
Bergen, to the county and city, be-
side which there are Berganbjeld and
other names that commemorate their
Morse origin. There also were Morse
men among the Dutch who settled
Manhattan in 1909 Some also came

In Delaware in 1888. In 1740 Norwe-

johnson served under John Paul
Jones. While there has been
scattered immigration, and while
a comparatively small number of
Norsemen found their way into the
country, many of them sailors, Morse
immigration cannot be said to have
begun until 1925. The story of the
immigrant settler who crossed the
ocean and founded new settlements
on the frontier, under the many and
perplexing difficulties which then con-
fronted him, is well worth telling,
and is rightly commanding more at
tention by historians and writer's.

The Dreaded umps.

Recently In looking over sporting
sheet, President Justice. who is a.
friend of faithfuI umpires read and
Thought the following pretty good:
That the umpire In game OF base
ball is the most dreaded and at times
the most dreadful human being con-
nected with the game OF baseball, In
the eyes OF the player and the too
serious fan, there is no doubt. but
when you stop and think about 1t and
reason with yourself, you Will not find
him SO bad man after all, consider
ing what he has to contend with day
in and day out, and the number OF
biased minds that he is expected to-
piease.
In speaking of the position of UNI
pire, in game of ball, we are deal
ing with the most thankless job that
has ever been offered to man In ev-
cry walk of life and In all business
mistakes are made every day, causing
great financial losses but do you sup
pose that his jumps dare make just
one mistake? No, he must not, or he
will be ridiculed and often attacked
/ by some quick tempered payer or
fan. He must be perfect in every de-
decision to look SO flexible that 1t will
be said to favor one side or the other
The greatest boon to an umpire Is a
chronic kicking ball player, who is
ever prone to cover up his own weak
ness by attempting to SHOW up de-
cision before the grand stand full of
sonlookers. This is seen evey day
and in cases where the payer has
not the least alibi in the world. The
/ player does not often stop to consider
THAT the eye of every attentive fan is
watching his every move and knows
i exactly when the judgement of an UNI
pire is correct or not. When he
realizes this fact the game will get
better and lot of the unnecessary
! rag-chawing and fines will be eliminate
ed, and the player will become a bet
! ter player
The remarks directed at the UNI
! pire from the stands are usually from
the too serious fan who can see the
game from only one point OF view,
and that from the natural side, the
home team. No matter how close the
play may be, If the decision Is given
in favor of the visiting team, the
\ chronic kicker lays stress on the man
with the pads. 1t is generally known
that the decision of the umpire ID
never changed after once given, and
no matter how much Raging is given
his jumps" he stands firm with the
future fayors against the kicker.
There is no doubt that the inten
tons OF every arbitrator in these days
are honest ones, and that every deci
sion handed out are given to the best
Of his judgment at the time 1t il
true that umpires make rank deci
sions at times as result OF being too
hasty but these decisions. though un
fortunate. should be weighed I'D with
the intent back of them. Luck in UNI
piring breaks the same as the many
plays should be taken into considera
ton by the fan and the player. When
Z these things are thought out and
realized by them, a great burden will
be taken off the work of the umpire
and the game will suffer a decided
change for the better.
