FANS CAN REVIVE BASEBALL
Restore Dyed-in-the-Wool Fan to
Place Nearer Fray Is Idea of Jack
Doyle, American League Umpire.

The restoration of the bleachers-
the bringing nearer to the scene of
the fray the dyed-in-the-wool fans
one of the things necessary to bring
baseball back.
This is the opinion of Jack Doyle,
American association umpire. And. by
the way. Jack is one Of those who be-
lieve baseball will be returned to it's
former glory with the populace.
In Jacks day-his time of baseball
stardom with the champion Baltimore
crowd and the old New York Giants,
on which teams he played-the bleach
ers were the heart Of the baseball
crowd.
For in those days the start were the
things. The bleacherites used to fight
with the players. used to roast them,
and all that stuff.
Those were the days." says Doyle,
"the days Of the bleacherites
Nowadays the modern stands have
put the 25-cent bleacherites off in some
far-off corner of the field. In the old
days they used to be back of third
and first.
Bring back the bleacher and the
bleacherite," said Doyle land put
baseball on its former plane of popu.
larity."

der how far the breach will widen, II
it will end ia the breaking cf the
marriage tie in the divorce courts.
Someone has somewhere said that
dissatisfied wives. who turn out dis
gusted and regard their married lives
as wretched failures, seem 10 be
counted more than the congenial, sat
isfied ones. Her heart rebels when
she is second In her husbands plans,
left alone whenever he can pretend
she would be out of place where he
goes, telling her he is due at a bust
ness meeting or is Obliged to show up
at his club, which he never misses.
Il might as we'll have had no hus-
band" she complains to her women
companions. why, he has urgent
business six nights in the week and
he's too tired to stir out of the house
with me on Sunday. It's no good for
me to cry over split milk or to wish
was single again"
The tactful wife will look around
her home and see if there are any
new pleasures she can add to attract
him to her side when he is tired and
worried over his affairs, which he en-
deavors to keep from her. If he neg
lects some duties she has laid out for
him to attend to, she will not flare
up and magnify his faults and show
her temper. On the contrary, she will
patch up an excuse tc the effect that
it is not so important, but that he
can see to it at his first spare time.
Men who have wives with grain
of patience, who are far-seeing enough
to contrast what life to them would
be If the provider, dear companion and
heart-mate of years were separated
from them, are not going to disrupt
their homes by the road of the divorce
court il 1t is possible to patch up diff.
culties. Those who have had quar-.
rels, and, after the keenest remorse
and heartaches have found relief in
glad tears which brought about recon-
ciliation-own the happiest days
known after estrangement were the
making-up ones.
Every woman's heart yearns for her
loving mate; someone to caress and
praise her. What more natural than
that she should cling to the man she
has wed and with open arms keep him
away from temptations and turning
them away, if in her power, until
death do them part?
