WHY UMPIRES STICK
TO FIRST DECISION
Reversal Would Mean Loud Pro-
tests and Delays.
Few Games Woulo Go Beyond First
Inning If Arbiters Were to Pay
Heed to Arguments and Proofs
Presented by Players.

Entirely too many fans have an
idea that umpires stick to their bad
decisions out of sheer bullheaded-
ness. Those fans are almost invari-
ably wrong. Every umpire time and
again in the season understands in a
flash, after he has decided one way,
that he should have decided another,
but If he reversed himself, thus en-
couraging kicks. protests and delays,
he would lose his job in short order,
writes Tom Rice in the Brooklyn
Eagle.
Very few fans stop to consider why
the. rule against umpires reversing
themselves on decisions of fact is al
most as unalterable as the laws of
the Modes and Persians, but the rule
is absolutely necessary if any ball
game is to be finished in less time
than is required for one o. those
three-day cricket matches.
If umpires were to heed arguments,
proofs and figures and reverse them
selves, they would do nothing but hold
court, and few ball games would go
more than one inning, as enough dis
puted decisions would ordinarily arise
in the first round to keep the Jump
engaged all the rest of the afternoon.
Long and painful experience has
taught the powers that be l., baseball
that it is better to lay it down as a
definite principle that an umpire shall
stick nv his decision even when he
realizes on second thought that he
was wrong, than 1t is to encourage
the players in the belief that if they
talk long and loudly enough they can
persuade him to reverse himself.
While cases occasionally arise in
which an umpire would be justified in
reversing himself, such reversal,
based upon new evidence, so to speak,
would lead to interminable argu-
ments and proffers of new evidence
upon all close plays.

Are the right-hand batsmen of the
major leagues losing caste, and are
they going to allow all the left-hand-
ers to carry off the honors that are
going?
Babe Ruth, George Sisler, Rogers
Hornsby, Ty Cobb, Joe Daubert and
Iris Speaker seem to be running
away with the batting honors of the
two big leagues.
There are no half-doZen right
handed batsmen in the major leagues
to compare with them, writes Al Sphinx
in the Chicago Post.
George Kelly, the big first base
man and right-handed batsman of the
New York Giants, started off this
spring like house on fire, hitting the
ball over the fence early and often,
and giving promise of giving Babe
Ruth a fine battle for leading home
run honorS.
But recently Kelly has fallen down
in his hitting and Ruth has rushed
out into a long lead that will be hard
to overcome.
There was a time when the right
handed batsmen of the major leagues
had it on the left-handers.

let of Lake Yellowstone, for the regula-
ton of the waters of the lake for
irrigation purposes. This construc-
ton would be within the limits of the
Yellowstone National Park.
II can not favor the enactment OF
the measure. 1 do not believe it would
be advisable for congress to permit
private interests to develop irrigation
or power sites within the limits OF
existing national parks. These parks
were created by congress for the
preservation Of the scenery, forests,
and other objects of beauty and In
terest in their natural condition, and
they are created and maintained for
general and national purposes as con-
tradistinguished from local develop
ment.
'Tf cases be found where it is nee
essary and advisable in the public
interest to develop power and irri-
CATION possibilities in national parks,
and it can be done without Interior
ence with the purposes of their crea-
ton, am of the opinion that it should
only be permitted to be done, whether
through the use of private or public
funds, on specific authorization by
congress, the works to be constructed
and controlled by the Federal Govern
ment. Sincerely,

Without open-Air Outlets.

A neat little Illusion that gives 20
an interior room without a window

shortage. In one of the remodeied
houses the owner has had window
frame with glass in 1t set in the wall.
There is space of piece of studding

Curtains are hung over the window
and a pair Of inside shutters partly
closed add to the setting. A plant in
a small pot rests on the window. sill
outside the window. The whole is
lighted by electricity, the lamp being
out of sight, outside and above the
window.
The indirect lighting, the window,
the flower and the curtain combine to
destroy the feeling that you are In a
room with no outlet to open the air
and adds cheerfulness that could be
obtained in no other way.-Chicago

Coming 27o,OOO,OOO U. S. Silver Dollar.

The mint ceased coming silver dol
lars in 1914, when the supply of metal
purchased under the coinage act was
exhausted. In 1918, congress passed
the Pittman act to enable the sale of
melted dollars to England for the re-
lief of the silver famine in India.
Uncle Sam sold to England 279,OOO.-
600 silver dollars, amounting to 20S.-
100000 ounces Of silver at $1.O1z an
ounce plus the market price of the
copper content.
Since May 1920. the mint has
bought about 55.00O,0OO ounces OF
American silver at 81 an ounce and
will continue its purchases at this
price until the treasury's stock he
replenished
The Pittman act requires the mint
TO pay 81 an ounce for its silver. much
more than the market price. The
price was fixed by the act, : stabilize
the price of silver when there were
indications of its reaching unheard of
heights during the war. Because of
the price at which silver was sold 10
England, the government is breaking a
little better than even.

Hard Winter Ahead for Bureau Heads

NIOTWITHSTANDI President
IN Harding's warning that propa-
ganda by government officials against
department reorganizations will not
be tolerated, members of the SEN
ate and house are being flooded with
protests against the proposed rear
rangement OF government bureaus in
the interest of greater efficiency and
decreased expense.
Every mail is filed with such pro-
tests, directed not only to the mem
bers of the congressional joint COM
mittee on reorganization, but also
those legislators whose only part in
the scheme will be to approve the final
recommendations. The object, officials
insist, is to poison the minds of legis-
lators generally against any changes
which might cost bureau chiefs and
others their jobs.
Investigation shows the most insid-
ious propaganda is af0ot in other ways
to damage the program of reorganiza-
ton, although there has been abate-
ment since the vigorous statement of

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.

scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome

Ewing, leading batsman of the old and

hanty, who, when with the Phillies,
was the leading batsman of America !;
Captain Arson of the Chicago White
Stockings, of two decades ago, and
who they used to say could hit the
ball harder than any other player liv-
ing, were all right-handers.
But at that, running with them,
and in their day such wonderful left
handed batsmen as Roger Conner and
Mike Tiernan of the New York Giants !;
Dan Brouthers of the famous Balti-
more Orioles; Billy Keller, Ned Han
Ion and Roaring Bill Tucker were just
few of the boys who were hitting
from the port side at that time.
But they, great as they were, were
no match for the company of right
handed sluggers who were going along
with them.
OF recent years, however, the men
running the professional teams appear
to be trying to educate all their new
corners to batting from the left side.
They figure that speed is everything
In these days, and that the left-handed
batsman has lead to first base Of
several seconds over the man who is
hitting from the other side.
