1t is, of course most exasperatins to
have umpires make decisions contrary
to the Judgment Of the contestinS pay
ers. but once a decision is rendered and
an Interpretation of the rules is not in
volved. there is nothing to be gained by
protests or wrargiing.
Many a ball game has been lost because
PLAYERS so far forgot themselves as to
overstep all bounds and were expelled
from the game, forcing into the vacancy a
player less competent Ball games have
never been won by wrangling with the
umpires. Nothing is to be gained by
such methods and much harm may be
done.
There is no doubt that umpires fire.
quently make mistakes. There are some
incompetent officials, too. but on the
whole the work of the umpires is, to say
the least. fair.
1t would require rather alert men
tally for an umpire to decide close deci-
s!ons against certain club. He must
give his ruling instantly as the play is
made, and he does not have time to con-
slider whom 1t will affect. If there is any
complaint coming on the umpires IL
should be lodged with the man in charge
Of them. There Is no good reason why
major league should keep one set OF UNI
pires with team for two series Ihey
should be changed about as often as pos
sible, and it would also be wise to allow
only umpires of experience to De In
charge of the game behind the plate

he appears to be I'm jest as good form this
year as he ever was in his life.
The reiuvenation of Attic Hoffman. who
last year had to quit because of physical
inability. is very apt to win pennant
for the Pittsburgh ub. Hoffman, never
played better ball than he has this spring.
He seems to have entirely recovered his
health, and is proving himself one of the
most valuable Players on the Pirate
team. Pittsburgh thought itself gold
bricked when Hoffman reported last sum-
mer, but the deal which gave him to that
club proves to be a tenstrike.
If the congressional Investigating COM
mittee goes into base ball it will find that
no business under the sun has increased
the pay of those engaged in it as much
as possible. Salaries of ball players have
been more than tripled within the last
ten years. 1t is only a few years back
when the major league players were held
TO limit. They could not draw more
than s., 400 per season, and that is just
ster who is seeing his first year in fast
company draws these days. II the OBJ
ject of the investigation is to show that
the ball player is not fairly treated it is
sure to be a failure
Jimmy Callahan Is still reconstructing
his White Sox. Jimmy will have to do
considerable reconstructing to get a first
division place for his team. In 1872 the
White Sox got flying start and G&eaned
up everything in sight during the early
part of the season. There has been moth
ing like repetition this season.
June I. 1912. the White Sox were lead
ing Ban Johnson's circuit by Go points.
They had won - and lost l.. an average
of -707. Jake Stahrs Red Sox had been
trailing the South Side hopes right along
and they overlook them during the mid
die OF June
The White Sox started to tumble after
they lost the league lead. but their early
advantage kept them up. They took Sec
ond place, then third. and July II they
were in fourth place. They had that po
sition when the season closed.
Detroit beat Callahan's 1912 team eight
games and dropped fourteen to Chicago.

WANT ARMOR PLATE PLAN /
Committee Appointed to Call At,
tention to Alexandria's
Facilities

Carroll Pierce, president of the
Alexandria Chamber Of Commerce,
today appointed the following mem
bers of the chamber as the special
cbonlmittee which is to present THE
claims of Alexandria as the logical
location for the governments pro-
posed armor plate plant: u. D.
Hopkins, chairman, W. A. Smoot, Jr.,
J. Louis Loose, W. w. Ballenger,
II. X. Field, George S French, and
C. S. T. Burke.
1t is expected the committee Will
meet in short time and prepare to
secure data on the facilities offered
by this city as the best location for
the armor plant and take the proper
Steps to have same presented to the
senators and to congressman OF VIZ
ginia.
The endeavorS of the people or
Alexandria to induce the government
to locate the proposed armor plate
plant at this city map prove sue
cessful. There are many reasons
why, it seems, the federal authorities
should turn their attention to this
citv should ii determine to manufac'
ture the amor. plate now purchased
from private works. These reasons
have been mentioned in the Gazette
during the past few days. The sug-
~estion that the land now covering
what was formerly Baptising Cove
coult! be utilized seems practical, anc
should ihe area rot prove sufficient!

there is an abundance to the west OF
the north OF Hunting Creek. There
is already channel extending from
the Potomac river and running ives

purposes.

known as the Virginia Iron Works
which had purchased the building
now occupied by the electric plant a

that it would need the Baptising Cove

A meeting Of the members of the
Alexandria Automobile Association
will be held tonight at 1880 o'clock in
the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce. The meeting will be of great
Interest to every member of the or
ganization.
One of the important questions to

to obtain reciprocal relations between
Virginia and the District of Co.um-
bia in the matter Of automobile Ii
censes. The auto committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, recently APP
pointed by President Pierce of the
Chamber, is composed of the follow
ing: George D. Hopkins, William A
Moore anl H. d. Kirk, and they are
expected to be present at this meet
ing when steps will probably be taken
to affiliate with the Alexandria Au-
eomobite Club.
The constant increase in the num-
Der of automobiles in this city and
nearby counties makes it desirable to
interest all owners of the same i'm the
automobile organization, so that all
can work together for good roads
and secure legislation of benefit to
the number and owners to machines.
