Fair is foul, and foul is fair so , sang the grand stand at Grant Park ; yesterday afternoon as decision after i decision was handed down by MT. | Umpire.
 You don't mind my calling him i that do you, my dears, for in all the ! noise and confusion I didn't quite ] learn his name, in fact I do not think it is generally known because what the fans called him seemed to be just words, and the kind you scold little boys for using and wonder where on earth they heard such dreadful things. - It wasn't treating him nicely, to say the least when everyone could see he was doing his best to please. He catered beautifully. The only trouble was that the audience didn't always agree and of course to be popular he felt he had to give both sides what they wanted.
 MT Dave Goldberg explained it to Dolly and me Your umpire" he said, lis always willing to square matters. If he makes a rotten deci- sion he'll turn around and make an- other to even things" so you see I was really right about it-he was trying to make good
 I'll tell you how MT Goldberg happened to be there Dolly is a clever child, you know. and re- membered way, way back about six years ago Mr. Goldberg was man. ager of the Phoenix Browns.
 Let's get him." said Dolly, and let him compare the. old fashioned game with modern ball" My but I was grateful for the idea and it worked out very well indeed, only my dears you'll have to get the short end of it I can't tell you what MT. Goldberg said. I'll tell you when I see you. but it can't be done in print. It isn't that l fear libel suit for The Republican-it's much worse than that-and if I believe in any thing it's chemically pure journal ism. Scoop was also at the game and after he had singled out MT. Goldberg he whispered in English of his particular American brand. "The Oid llIIltI lS ct Cciiit-jhth dllu liitii can hang a few on these ginks.'
 Yes, thank you, he was glad to come but I don't think he has any hard feelings toward these boys or would care to see them hang" I re- piled I felt that Mir. Goldberg was my guest and I had to be nice about it but he did yell the most absurd things that I didn't understand, plays that I presume were popular last century such as Give it him round the ear," Crowd the plate, choke the bat; there's a two-bagger for you Right then and there I made up my mind at any cost I'll always keep ur with the times
 A little chap in the box next tc ours was given a bottle of soda por and mother said, Drink it slowly and it will last long time" and that's the way the Mesa -Phoeni> players evidently though for at the beginning the game dragged fight fully.
 They're not doing anything yet, I offered apologetically as hostess.
 "Yes they are. They are playing POOI Oe'Ai, itSIcIlutd IiN ButSt.
 Scoop smirked exasperatngly:
 Who'd you have here?' he asked.
 'The Wichita boys Three after wards went to the National league and two to the California leagues. Cy Young was pitcher. Beals Becke went to New. York and Dick Bayles is with Venice"
 They do you remembered" folk while I gave my undivided attention to the field in time to see poor crip pied Manager Barrett make a gor geous homer and bring in three.
 How does that compare with thu past?" I asked enthusiastically
 They do fairly well for amateurs but until these boys learn how t' play don't compare them with pro fessionals. It's not much of a gam today, only good in spots. That one handed catch made by Lewis Wa classy and that Krause boy will mall a good pitcher some day. As fo Barrett he's all right. Half past fiv good heavens. a game of this kin, should not take over an hour ant forty-five minutes. I'm off
 Tn case you are interestedv-" called after him, but he had gone.
