he leads a nomadic life, journeying from
city to city, and never knowing four
days ahead what his next move will be.
One thing he does know, and that is
that unless he calls them right" 80
per cent of the time his next move will
be out of the league, with absolutely
no chance of working his way back.
His position is unlike that of the ball
player, The latter spends half of the
playing season on the road and half
in the town in which he is playing.
Therefore he has chance to make his
home where he is employed and of be-
ing in it half of the time. Not so the
umpire. For seven months the only
opportunity he has of seeing his family
is by having them meet him somewhere
on the road, usually at considerable ex
pense.
Six days in the week he must be on
duty at the ball park when working in
the East, and seven days when working
in the West. He may be suffering from
a headache, and the hot sun may burn
his tired eyes, but nevertheless he must
be put there calling them right" He
doesn't dare to tell the ball players he
is not feeling right; neither can he an
nounce his trouble to the spectators. But
if he slips up once or twice, or if some
ball player makes it look as though he
had slipped up, woe to him. Thousands
will stand on their feet and plead for
his gore.
AS a matter of fact, there isn't much
IN umpire can tell any one. The league
heads frown if he so much as appears
TO be fraternizing with the players. He
S not supposed to stop at the hotel pat
'onized by the ball clubs nor travel on
he same trains with them, if it can be
wooded Organized baseball, therefore,
makes him baseball outcast, and such
he must be TO hold his job.
This is considerable of a hardship
when it is remembered that it is the
natural bent of man to mix with bust
less colleagues. They have something
n common, something that brings them
ogether on common ground.

UMPIRE HAS NO CINCH.
H. Perry Lewis of Philadelphia Deals
with Troubles of Jumps.

| In a recent artile dealing with hte
lives and troubles of professional base,
ball umpires, H. Perry Lewis of Phila,
delphia said:
In this generous world, which, de-
spite pessimists and kulture, we believe
j. getting better every day, a man is
prone to discount the mistakes OF his
fellows. Our prisons are no longer pu-
nitive establishments, but are founded
on The principle of reformation Our
employees (if we are fortunate enough
to have them are forgiven when they
err; oar employers overlook our mis-
takes (sometimesl. The business or pro-
fessional man who slips up is an object
of sympathy; the calf is still killed for
the prodigal son; the errors of the ball
players are forgiven. Verify mankind
is patient and forgiving to all but 7he
baseball umpire.
Here is the man around whom the whole
game revolves. He is the arm of author
ity which dignifies the sport; his is
the voice which decides the fate of ball
clubs in which are invested millions of
capital He can make the game spec
tacle fit for the eyes of our mothers,
sisters, wives and sweethearts, or by
his weakness allow it to degenerate into
a riot besmirching the fair name of
sport. Surely much rests on the shout
iers of the umpire-the much vilifed,
abused umpire,
You who see the umpire out there on
he ball field with apparently nothing
10 do but stand behind the catcher clad
n nice cool mask and protector and
all the balls and strikes, or assume
. Napoleonic attitude on the bases and
occasionally make decision, pause for a
moment and consider the duties and the
life of an umpire.
For about seven months of the year

| more and apart from eternal life. Christ
and His teachings are as practicable to-
day as ever, asserted the clergyman, and
Christianity has very real mission in
the world, IL concerns the high relations
of life and extends the brotherhood of
home to the brotherhood of all the world.
1t makes of death mere incident on the
road to eternal life. Heaven is enough
without visions of sitting on bank and
playing golden harp. The life of the
Master is worth emulating for its earth
ly rewards as well as for those of the
hereafter,
