| WHERE is a matter pertaining to | baseball which has been paining us for number of years, and this seems | to be as good time as any to get it 1 off our chest writes Baseball Expert Harry A. Williams | For many seasons it has been the
 custom for umpires to put ball players
 out of the game when they become un- | duly sassy. We opine that this cus- l tom, while ancient and honorable. is l all wrong, or largely so
 Getting down to tacks, can you i'm
 agine anything more harmful to the | general interest in baseball than the
 universal rule that gives umpires the
 rlght to put ball players out of the
 game ad Hbltum? Baseball is merely
 a form of public entertainment Peo-
 pie go to the games, not to see players
 fired, but to see them play ball. They
 put down their money at the box office
 in the expectation of seeing both clubs
 st their best and with their full
 strength in the field.
 No other form of professional amuse- 1 mcnt would crab it's own game in this manner. Get the idea? Magnates spend fortunes for high class ball ] players. It is these which draw the fans through the turnstile They want
 to see these men in action, just as they | line up at the box office of a theater in the belief that they will see the actors | who have been billed
 It certainly would be a shortsighted theatrical impresario who would give any employee of the house authority | to fire the star performers off the stage. To attend a ball game in the hope of seeing your favorite player in action and have him canned in the first inning is not unlike taking the family to see "Faust,' only to have the orchestra leader or stage director chase Florencio Constantine off the stage almost before he has opened his vocal pipes
 This is written largely on behalf of the fans who pay money to see the best that the magnates in turn have invested money to provide At the same time it may show up the crude ness or shortcomings of the present system.
 Going to the marrow of the question. what end is gained by ejecting any player from ball game unless he is guilty of some overt act which is dis tasteful to the spectators? The main result, it would seem, is to detract

 One doubts very much if a first round of 80 bothers Gilbert Nichols, for he realizes that he has it in him to turn in Fl, if not less, over almost any course in the world, and do it just as easily, or so it would seem to the on- locker as when he made an 80. It has been noticed, however-and this is well worth mentioning a this time-that there are few brilliant last rounds turned in by the professionals whom we deem the brilliant players of the day; that it is the steady golfer who shines the most at this stage. There are a number of reasons for this, of course. If the brilliant golfer knows that he must make a 72 in order to win he is impressed with that fact a bit

ATHLETE WILCOxs MIsFoRTUNEs

WESTM ORE WILCOX of Harvard
 has certainly been a child of mis- fortune in his experiences in athletics This fleet Virginian was thought to have an excellent chance to get the captaincy of the track team and his defeat by Eddie Teschner the sprinter, came as a surprise.
 Wilcox passed up baseball this year in order to devote his time entirely to the track team. His defeat undoubt- edly came as a sore disappointment to him, for this young fellow has tasted deep the bitter dregs of misfortune and adversity while at Harvard, though he has given the university athletics his best.

Only Pair ot Managers on Same Clubs Ten Years

DURING the last ten years in base
 ball every team in the National and American leagues, with the ex- ception of the Philadelphia Athletics and the New York Giants, have had two or more managers.
 Ten years ago John McGraw was managing the Giants, and Connie Mack was leading the Athletics. These two men are still plotting those teams and bid fair to do so for many years to come.
 McGraw started his career with the Giants in 1903. Under him the New Workers won the National league non

this sort we very seldom see the 72.
 In the case of a steady golfer, how ever, who generally is the careful play. er he exerts just a trifle more care and perhaps saves himself through what we might term brilliant head work, a stroke or two which counts for him nightly in the end. A glance at the records of the championships durS ing the last ten or fifteen years proves the point that it is in the second and third rounds where the brilliant scores are made. It would be unwise and trif1e unfair for one to judge a bril- liant last round over course which was not of championship caliber, where the ball off the drive would go 300 yards or so, and it will be found that brilliant rounds made in the last eighteen holes usually have been made over an easy course.

Geraldine Farrar Says Famed Heroine
Stood for Equality.

The worlds history offers an extraor-
dinary and wonderful example for the
twentieth century woman in Joan of Arc,
according to Miss Geraldine Farrar The
famous Metropolitan Opera prima donna
has just completed three months work
In California, acting the role of Joan of
Arc in a massive motion picture produced
under the direction of Cecil B. De Mile
Joan of Arc lived five hundred years
ago, yet the problems she met and mas
tered. rising in the end to achievements
to which no other woman. either before
or after her has attained, are the prob
lens universal to women OF all ages"
said Miss Farrar. 1T Is not as If another
Joan Of Arc will rise from our midst in
this generation to be commander-in-chief
Of a great nations army, but in their
small way thousands OF women in all
parts Of the world are miniature Joans.
Joan OF Arc more than any other
woman who ever lived stood for equality
and for woman's place in the world. not
only alongside of man. but as the leader
Of man. What community is there but
has its woman leader, its feminine mind
that is more far-seelng than the mascu-
line and more idealistic."
