AUCTION OF DUKE OF

Low Bids Cause Withdrawal of
Famous Properties In
London.

LONDON, Jan. ga public auction
was held yesterday to dispose of the
famous Drury Lane, together with the
Strand and Aldwich Thea,ters, the
Waldorf Hotel and the Bow street
police court. These were all included
in the estate of the former Duke Of
Bedford.
The sale. which was expected to be
one of the largest in the city in
many years, proved a ludicrous fall
ure, the Bow street building alone
being disposed of for 1925, 900; it was
purchased by the government for the
metropolitan police. The Waldorf
Hotel, with a rental OF $42,5O0, went
for $4,000, but was reserved, the
bids being unsatisfactory. For the
Strand $3S5,000 was offered and for
the Aldwich bids went to 1926, 900.
These theaters together with the
Drury Lane, for which $672,000 was
offered, were withdrawn.

"On close play are you not often
undecided as to what decision you
should make"
That question is put to me hundreds
of times during the summer. and l
know my answer is never in keeping
with the thought of the average fan.
Only the fellow who has umpired can
appreciate my reply
NO matter how close the play. |
never doubt rs to the correct ruling
at the time of making the decision"
That is always my stereotyped an
swer. Forced to use snap judgm ent,
the ruling | render at the completion
of tne play at that very time is to me
the proper decision. Probably Il Sec
ond later doubt may enter. but it is
then too late to give it consideration.
The umpire is too busy reaching a
decision to let anything creep into the
play other than the actual result. He
knows. rs one umpire puts it, that the
runner is out or safe. and that it is
up to him to reach one of two deci-
sions. At the time of giving the de-
cision, the thought that the play is
close never enters into the deductions
of the umpire. He can't call time ar.1
take his ruling under adviseme mt He
must reach a hasty decision. That.
perhaps, is the real reason why the
closeness of the play at the actual
completion in no way has bearing
on the final verdict.
l must frankly admit that often aft :
er rendering 4 ruling, in which judg-
ment alone was involved, the thought
has come to me that | misseds the
play. Such u thought was too late to
influence the ruling. If umpires ever
got into the habit of changing de-
cislons, where judgment alone was
