POPULAR A. E,F, UMPIRE BACK IN
 UNITED STATES

Richard L. McBain, former semi professional ball player, came home yesterday from France with the repu- tation of being one umpire who man aged to stand the gaff and whimsical tiles of some 100, 900 doughboy fans in the A. E. F. McBain, who went overseas for the Knights of Co., lumbus, umpired no less than 125 baseball games and several double headers thrown in for good measure which is a record for soldier gam in France.
 Secretary McBain started the sea son on May 5, with the Diamond Dt- vision (5th) at -Bains, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. He officiated with the try outs until the divisional team was formed and went on tour all through Germany. Many other umpires had likewise started out, but proverbialIy speak ing many were called but few were chosen McBain proved to be one of the few chosen, and then remained alone because the jibes and yowls of khaki-clad fans made all the others ''haul tail to the rear.'
 CT did not mind the joshing one bit" he said, ''but the doughboys simply raised Cain with umpires. There were times when poor old 'ump' began to get haNuciL at1ons about what might happen to him. After Nc Bain had gotten safey through Ger many, without having his sensitive ness made seasick, he was picked to umpire the official divisional series at Pershing Stadium, when the Le Mans nine copped the pennant.

MASS
 MEETING WILL
 WELCOME MACK

Jewish residents of Bridgeport will Julian w. Mack, president of the Zionist Organization of America, who will be the principal speaker at the mass meeting and reception to be given tomorrow evening at the Bridgeport High school auditorium under the auspices of the local Zion ist district. It is predicted that not only all the members of the Zionist organization will be present to honor Judge Mack, but also members of all most all other Jewish organizations in the city.
 Because Judge Mack had been the leader of the Jewish Peace Delega- tion at Paris, and his association with the most prominent men of the country interested in the nations vel rare, he will bring a message not only to Jewish residents but also to citizens Of other nationalities. con- cerning the Peace Conference and oth- CT important problems of the day. Judge Mack had been a prominent figure in America for the past 25 odd years and is one of the most admired JeWlSh leaders of the world.
 He has served as judge in the Unit ed States Circuit Court of Appeals for the past eight years and is a brilliant speaker and a most striking character.
 It Is expected that the speaker will arrive in this city about 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and will be met at the railroad station by a commit tee composed of Dr. Louis B. Snir now, pr. Maurice s. Rosen, Charles H. Shapiro, Frank s. Cohen, Henry P. Spitz and a, number of other promin- ent Jewish residents.
 A musical program will be given by the Zionist orchestra and the Young Judea chorus will favor with several selections. The meeting will commence at 7:30 o'clock and a cor dial invitation is extended to all those who are interested.

MAINTAINING OFTEN ASKED MAYOR TO GUT OUT TRICKEY WAYS IN
 ADMINISTERING CITY AFFAIRS

Before 1,500 people at the Allen N Vincent rally In St. Johns hall last night Moses W. Manwaring, Repub- ucan city treasurer, took the admin istration to task for claiming that he was to blame for never making a complaint about the loose way of the city's affairs to the proper authorities.
 MT. Manwaring, now a, candidate for reelection on the Democratic ticket, claims that Mayor Wilson followed him the length of the City hall asking if he had gone to the governor in op- position to the bond issues.
 Introduced by Senator George B. Clark, MT. Manwaring was given great ovation. His speech follows:
 '"The comments upon the signed statement regarding my position in the present campaign while not denying the truth, seem as they appear in print to indicate a nisconception of the points I hoped to convey. Now in fact, it was not my intention to attack individuals, but rather the sys- tenn under which the City Govern ment is conducted.
 The charge is made that I was re- miss in my duty in failing to make these things known earlier. If this is considered proved by the mere asser- ton, why did our mayor follow me the length of the City Hall to ask if had
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-11-01

visited Governor Holcomb in opposi- ton to bond issues? Why, when at their request, he appeared before the business men, did he preface his statements then, with the declaration, I know the senator does not agree with me? The fact is that not only the head of the City Government, but several others, knew of my decided objection to many of the financial policies. Again. the question is asked why did not the treasurer appeal to some authority? I should like to be referred to the proper authority, if the acknowledged head is not the proper person to bring objection to.
 q want to see East Bridgeport get a new High school for the children of this section and if elected, I will do my utmost to get it. Now I want to tell you why I believe in a business administration for the city of Bridge port.
 q believe in the old way of assess ing property, namely five assessors on the board instead of one as at pres ent I believe 1t is more fair to the property owners. A great many peo- pie think that no one pays taxes only property owners. The tax on prop erty is big factor in the rate of rent charged.'
