Umpire Batting Part of Game

TENNIS players have frequently suggested that
L something of the chivarous craftsmanship of that
game might be introduced into baseball. Football play
ers point with considerable pride to the fact that the
referees rulings questioned, and rise to ask
why that spirit should not prevail in baseball
The abolition of umpire-batng in baseball might be
accomplished by determined effort on the part of
those in charge of the game but to my mind it would
deaden the game On close decision not only are the
two teams ready to dash in for battle but the spec
about equally divided and equally ready for
fracas. While the American is ready to fout his
own laws and to question the sanity of his own Judges
why should umpire be immune from criticism
and dersion National games must always reflect the
national characteristics 1t is the umpire batting that

Athletic Training insufficient

& OME time ago | hazarded the opinion that the non-
~ athletic Frenchmen made the greatest soldiers that
the world has ever known. The statement that the
Frenchmen made the greatest soldiers was not cha-
lenged and probably will be, but an American
army officer contended that while the Frenchmen were
not athletes in they were super-athetes as
far as military training went. This American army
officer went on show that what consider athletics
have no real value in preparing men to endure hard
ships of the field That preparation and conditioning,
he declared could only be attained by universal and in
tensifed military training.
This statement, with which | was inclined to quar-
REL made me particularly interested in the military
training scheme Of the American League baseball clubs
At Macon, Ga. found the New York American team,
in the words OF Wild Bill Donovan, taking to the
work like ducks to water"
But now | read in a dispatch from Detroit Word
received here from the training camp of the Detroit
Americans at Waxahache, Tex, is to the effect that
the Detroit ball players in sympathy with move
ment started by fellow athletes to abandon the military
drills they receiving. 1t is understood that
the Cleveland club has taken such action.
Several Detroit players have claimed that the drills
have caused severe strain upon muscles not brought
into play on baseball diamonds

in the third the boys loosened up con-

a real one.

that was another short hook in the

Down went Mr. Danny. and after
Freddie had helped him TO his feet they
went at low speed for the rest Of the
round.
Those who have seen Welsh in his
last three or four fights declared yes

champion so strong and rugged. His
wind was excellent, his foot work a
revelation and his defence as battling as

Time to Test AfrOphied Muscles

7 REFUSE to believe that this from the play
Il ers representing the city of Henry Ford voices the
attitude of the baseball players toward the military
drills If it does, it is good argument for the abc-
ton of baseball in of war. If few hours drill

game certainly has value in building up stamina
and endurance which the young American may need

Perhaps it is tragic to the who thinks nothing

rARLIN, Tex, March 25.-Touring Texas with
MI the Giants and listening now and then to oc-
casonaI outbursts from Henie Zimmerman,
ones thoughts naturally to the subject of umpire
batting and the benefits evils thereof. Theoreti-
cally the umpire should not be bated He is the su-
preme court on the field and all the kicking in the
world will not make him change his decision once it is
made.
Baseball is the only sport where the rulings Of the
arbitrator are vehementy debated. That is because
the game is really American. To debate the decision
of court which he himself has elected, and to ques-
ton the validity Of a law which he himself has
passed. is the spirit of the independent and intelligent
American citizen He carries this spirit into the one
sport which is distinctly his.
While umpire-batng is unsound and useless in
theory, nevertheless the umpre-bater is a popular
favorte always. Heinie Zimmerman has lost friends
or admirers because he is the terror of the umpres
John j. McGraw himself occasionally rises to take issue
with the arbitrator of baseball game and when he
rises to debate he does not do in a wavering or
colorless fashion. The umpre-bater always has his
mind on the game and his heart in it,
