WRITTEN ABOUT UMPIRES
AND MILITARY TRAINING BECAUSE
UMPS ARE ALWAYS SET FOR WAR
BY GRANTLAND RICE

QUITE a bit Of gossip has been expend.
SG sed about training our ball players for
war.
Bat if you happen to recall the matter,
no mention has been made of the fact that
umpires are to be trained The answer
is simple enough-they don't have to be.
The umpire who isn't ready for war at
moments notice won't last two seconds in
any league.
The average umpire is not only trained
for war, but he is also looking for it. lie
knows that it is coming on the date Of the
first close decision, and all the pacfist lean
ings there are won't alter the case.
Pacifsm. may be all right in certain
spots. But you never saw an umpire in
your life who was a pacifst. He has long
since found that in his game It is use
less doctrine. You can always pacfy one
club by giving it the best of close dec-
sion, but that doesn't help you out with
the other Imagine paclfist attempting to
toy with Heinie the Zim or the Eminent
Trojan
Another thing we would like TO know Is
this-What does a pacifst do or say just
after blowing an 'eighteen-inch putt in a
hard match?

WAR ON ,U-BOAT
FAR FROM END

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nov. 20.-The
hopeful outlook for effectively curb
ing the submarine menace. indicated
in the speech of the British premier
yesterday, will serve to increase
rather than lessen the pressure the
Washington government is putting
upon destroyer building and other
anti-submarine measures. This was
indicated by Secretary Daniels today
in refusing to discuss details of the
part American vessels have been
playing in the campaign.
The incident used by Lloyd George
to lend force TO his statement that he
no longer feared the submarine men.
ace--the fact that FIVE submarines
had been sunk in one day-probably
represents the best one days achieve
ment of the anti-submarine forces.
Mr. Daniels said it is the highest fig
ure he had heard in that regard.
The policy Of silence as to the num-
Der of submarines destroyed or the
place of actions has a definite place
in the allies program, now seemingly
achieving a measure of success. and
for this reason the navy department
will continue to keep strict silence as
to what is accomplished by American
vessels until these officers think the
time has come to reveal details of the
campaign.
