UMPIRES MAKE GAME
SOUR AND LISTLESS
FroWns on EnIivening "Stunts'
by Contestants.
Arbiters Allow Absolutely No Talking
Among Opposing Players and
Take Much Aggressive Spirit
Out of Men.

Funeral-like baseball obviously is
what the umpires In the National
league are trying to force on the fans,
judging from the way they curb the
players In their efforts to put little
excitement in the games. They allow
absolutely no talking among the op-
posing players to liven hostilities and
by enforcing this rule to the letter
take much Of the aggressive spirit out
OF the men. Some ball clubs and man.
ayers can get away with almost any
thing on the field, but the Cubs dare
not open their mouths, says writer
In Chicago News. AS soon as they do
off the field they go with the umpires
making all sorts of threats to fine and
suspend them.
In the second game Of recent dou-
bleheader, which the Cubs won from
the Pirates to and 2 to 1. the last
game going II innings, Umpire Klein
displayed his animus toward Presi-I
dent Mitchell and the Chicago club.
He gave an inkling of 1t in st. Louis
by listening to the remarks made and
finally chasing Merkle, Paskert and
McCabe from the bench. In the Pirate
game he hoped on Mitchell and sent
him to the bench for protesting on
ball that struck fair, but was called
foul by KLEIN. Then he ordered Coop
er to pitch while Mann was out of the
box and not in the argument. Mann
jumped on the plate and Cooper de-
liberately threw at him. A fight was
expected to ensue and had it taken
place KLEIN alone would have been re-
sponsible for it.
Oficiousness among the umpires in
the league is hurting the game. Fans
do not like to see it. They are full Of
red blood and like to see lot of &C
tivity on the field. OF course they do
not go to the parks to see the men
come to blows or use their spikes, but
they do like to see them In conversa-
tional battles and bump one another
round on the bases. When the um-
pires check this they take the spice
out of the competition and most play
ers perform with more perfection and
spirit when they are allowed to give
vent to their aggressive feelings. But
the teams, especially the Cubs, do not
get away with anything of this kind.
because umpires like Klein and Byron
run them out Of the park almost be-
fore they start.

Wnshington.-The war cost the
United States directly about $22,OOO,-
100000, or nearly enough to pay the
entire cost of running the American
government from 1871 up to the out
break of the European war. For every
hundred American soldiers and sail
ors who served in the war with Ger
many two were killed or died of dis
ease during the period of hostilities.
The number of men serving in the
armed forces of the nation during the
war was 4,SO0,O0O, of whom 100000
served in the army.
These facts are set forth in sta
tistical summary of "The War With
Germany" compiled under the direc-
tion of Col. Leonard p. Ayers, chief OF
the statistics branch of the general
staff of the army.
This summary, just published by
Colonel Ayers by direction Of the Sec
retary of war, is complete review of
Americas participation in the war
against Germany condensed into less
than $50 pages. 1t is a detailed sum-
mary of American military operations,
and yet the long statistical tables
usually found in official reports are
entirely lacking.
Col. Leonard P. Ayers is the only Of
ficer from civilian life who has risen
to the position of chief of q division
of the general staff. Before the war
he was a director of the Russell Sage
Foundation. He was chief statistical
officer of the peace committee. After
hls return here he received the dis
tinguished service medal.
Some of the Figures. Isl
Some of the statistical summaries
In the report show: .... G..
The war cost the United States con-
siderably more than 81 100000 an hour
for over two years.
Americas expenditures in the war
were sufficient to have carried on the
Revolutionary war continuously for
more than a thousand years at the
rate of expenditure which that war
actually involved.
During the first three months ex-
penditures were at the rate of $4,000
900 day. During the next year they
averaged more than $22,0O0,00O day.
For the final ten months the daily
average was over $44.00O,000.
The total war costs of all nations
were about $1s6,OOO, 100000, of which
the allies and the United States spent
two-thirds and the enemy one-third.
The three nations spending the
greatest , amounts were Germany,
Great Britain and France, in that or
der. After them come the United
States and Austria-Hungary, with sub
stantially equal expenditures.

Chaplain Currie has been putting on
an exhibition in Leutesdorf every
night the last few weeks, and each
man he throws promises to induce
five other soldiers to accompany him

Leutesdorf playhouse. Chaplain Cur

formed that they witnessed a very
rare thing. To be specific, Doyle had
not made an error Of just that sort
for II long years-that is, he had not
muffed fly ball under which he had
time to settle himself for the catch.
He blamed his recent detection on the
fact that he had not yet fully recov-
cred from injury to his head. His
head, he says, fairly swan as he
scrambled backward to get under the
looping pellet, and he was so dizzy
that he could barely get his hands on
the ball, to say nothing Of holding it
firmly.

JOHN WATSON IS HOPELESS
Pitcher Looked Good Last Year, but
Starts This Season Showed Moth
ing to Connie Mack.

Connie Mack gave John Watson up
as hopeless last week and released him
to Baltimore. Watson looked pretty
good last year, but in his three starts
this spring showed nothing that would
encourage Mack to keep him. In his
place Mack has signed young pitcher
named Eisenberger, who comes from
an independent team at Marysville, Pa.
He recently returned from France,
where he made reputation pitching
army baseball, though it is not ex-
planned how doughboy with such a
name got by.

Wilbert Robinson is likely to make an
outfielder of him. Allen has all the
earmarks of an athlete. He stands
about six feet, has big hands and can
think quickly. Also, he is willing to
learn and has no foolish notions about
being a ready-made star. He keeps
an ear cooked all the time for tips
from the older players. When he hears
a caustic comment on a play from a
veteran or Uncle Wilbert he jots it
down as a point for future reference

France Establishes Summer Con-

SUGGESTED BY 3hNDMASTER
School viii Be Conducted for Benefit
of Students of Both Sexes Who
Have Been Studying at Amer
lean Conservatives.

Partisan American conservatory
of music soon will be established at
Fontainebleau as the result of the ac-
ton of the Fontainebleau municipal
council, which voted a subventiOn of
100 900 francs for the creation of the
school. The suggestion was put for
ward by Mr.. Francis Casadesus, pres
chestra, and the French minister Of
public instruction has set aside for
the school the Louis XIV wing Of the
national palace of Fontainebleau. 1t
will be a summer school and the first
session will begin July l, 1920.
Mr.. Casadesus spent seven months
at Chaumont, the American headquar-
ters of the A. f. f., teaching instru-
mentation at the American army
bandmasters' and musicians school
created by DR.. Walter Damrosch at
the request of General Pershing.
Suggested by casadesus.
Mr.. Casadesus first conceived the
idea of the school after the American
school at ChaumOnt competed us
work. He planned to place the courses
of the National Conservatory of
Music in Paris at the disposal of the
Americans. His friends discouraged
the idea, on the theory that Paris,
with all its attractions, was not the
proper place to study music, as the
temptations to waste time were too
many for students.
Following recent meeting between
Mr.. Casadesus and Mr.. Fragnaud, sub
project of Fontainebleau and a great
lover of music, the historic place was
selected.
The municipal council unanimously
voted the 100000 francs, which will
be added to by French donations to be
expended for proper lodging and
board facilities.
