THE LOT OF THE UMPIRE

Editorials are noted in several eX-
changes protesting against char
acteristic habit of batting the base
ball umpire A heavy dose of con-
tumely and active insult usually
goes with the modest sum of money
given for this service. Also there are
times when he needs a very consider
able knowledge of the manly art of
self defense.
Good umpiring calls for quick
wit. ability to concentrate the mind,
judicial spirit, a cool temper and a
familiarity with baseball rules. A
great many men are umpiring very
considerable Games who are lacking
in ! number OF these qualities, some
times about all of them.
Vet case. where the umpire is de
liberately unfair are not common
what happens is that from failure
of eyesight or proper attention, often
from Judging a play from too great
q .tance, decision is made that is
clearly wrong 1t is a very difficult
thing not to make at least one such
| bad deci sion in the game. The fair
minded umpire usually tries &c
square it up by giving the next close
decision to the side that lost the
first. This may not be strictly rul
lie. but it works out rough sort
of justice.
The trouble with the crowd is thai
it bc2ins to below the moment on,
poor decision is made. Players ant
spectators become wild with rage
This rifles" the umpire's "dander.
TO show that he is not moved by thu
taunts and threats hurled at him, h
may continue to favor the side tina
lost the first decision The gam
will thus likely break up in a row
1t is very poor policy for spectator
or players to try to bluff an umpire
1t merely inv ties further trouble an,
N:ts man in state of mind wher
he cant see things straight if h
tries The time to protest is afte
the game is over, and the proper per
sons to protest to are the men tina
have in charge the hiring of the UNI
pire. Exchange.

Doc Porter, our esteemed State
health officer, has issued an edict
against poodles Tampa Times.
Next he will issue one against
poodle noodles Orlando Citizen.
Nevertheless, this same Doc Por-
ter" if we may judge by the litera-
ture he sends out to the press, as
the State health officer. is a highly
valuable public servant who COM
bines conscience, industry and deep
learning in his profession. He seems
to be keenly alert in the discharge
of his official duties. and there is
big lot of good sense in the articles
he gives tothe press, advising the
people specifically in matters relat-
ing to health and sanitation DR.
Porter is doing a good work for
Florida as the State health officer
and he deserves the hearty common
dation of the press.
