THE lot of the umpire is surely an
unhappy one. There isn't a man
living whose decisions in a ball game
would satisfy both teams. The
officers of the Rio Grande league are
now trying to satisfy only four
clubs, but the two umpires seem to
be in bad all around. Neither man is
accused of partiality, but each has
given decisions which have aroused
the ire of the managers. The latest
howl comes from Jim Brown, who
declares that the Tucson club viii
play no more games where Harry
Kane umpireS And it was all be-
cause Kane gave a close decision
against the Tucson club. If Kane
states the facts correctly, and he is
borne out to a certain extent by the
Tucson newspaPermen, his decision
was correct. Brown has protested
the game and it will be threshed
out next week when the Tucso: and
FL Paso teams are here.
GAN FRANCISCO papers are, in a
way, apOlOgizing for the big
purses in the coming harness races
at the P. P. I. E. track by declaring
that the horsemen will practically
pay for the fat purses themselves as
they are of the sweepstake variety.
Gee, but Frisco is getting cheap
when the papers have to apologize"
for hanging up a decent sized purse.
DHOENIX is after Harry Harper,
a utility player who has Just
been released by the Los Angeles
club. Wonder to whom Hester is
going to hand the blue envelope?
Mcconnell, the big twirler who
looked good with Douglas, is to get
tryout with Tucson.
GLOBE, Ariz., continues to sign up
good baIlplayers. The latest
recruit is Earl Thompson, a first
baseman who was making good in
the semi-pro ranks in Los Angeles.

'BECK'S" AMEN CORNER

GAIT LAKE CITY isn't such a
horrible lot bigger than FL Paso,
but the baseball fans there have been
turning cut in loyal fash-tn for the
home games of the Bees. The aver
age attendance this year as been
slightly over 5000 per game at an
average price of 81 cents. If the FL
Paso fans 'urned out an average
attendance Of a third Of that num-
Der, the local club would be happy.
And FL PasO will have to buck up
if tn fans here hope to take away
the attendance record from Tucson
and Phoenix. The attendance at
Tucson, last week, totaled about
$500 while Phoenix turned out about
200 more. It viii be up to the local
fans to beat these marks.
THE A. A. o. has shown its fine
hand again in ruling that all
paraphernalia used IN the national
championships at the P. P. I E.
must bear the official stamp of the
union. This will have the effect of
barring out the products of certain
manufacturers who are not ain
right" with the big boys of the
union. There was a time when the
A. A. U. officials took an extra
amount of care regarding all marks
not made with the apparatus Of a
certain big company. For a few
years, the union was free from
faint of manufacturers control but
the latest move does not look well.
THE FL Paso ball team is winning
a fair share Of its games tut
there is one weakness In the club
and that is in double plays. The FL
Paso club has made about a third
as many double plays as Tucson or
Phoenix, yet has outhit both the
western clubs. Mig Perrine IS doing
well at second except that he fails
to whip the bail on to first base
often enough.

Vienna Charge Denied.
Rome, May 24.-The official state
ment published at Vienna charging
that Italy did not adhere to the prln-
ciples of the triple alliance treaty IS
declared by the Giornale D'ltalia to
be entirely incorrect and misleading:
The Italian position, as summarized
by the newspaper, follows:
"The situation Of Italy became In
tolerable when Austrian and German
aggression against Serbia caused the
European conflagration without CIV
ing previous notification to Rome.
"'Italy legitimately undertook to
protect her own interests, according
to rights granted her by the triple al
lance treaty.
Austria, despite German good Of
fees, blindly and obstinately resisted
Italy's just demands, rendering lnevl'
table acute antagonism. Therefore
Austria alone Is responsible for the
new war, although Germany is not en-
tirely blameless but italy did every
thing humanity possible to prevent IT.
