There are no half-dozen right

from the port side at that time.
But they, great as they were. were
no match for the company Of right

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 a lead to first base OF
several seconds over the man who IL

The shells Of the turtles had been
worn almost smooth, but 1t still was
easy to discern the carving Of the
names.

AFTER my brother Warren brought
his bride, who was known as The Rose

in st. Louis" said Clyde Owen. "Helen
was born there. Her mother died
year later of tuberculosis, and Warren
and the child wandered over most OF
the world for many years. Her grand
father in Spain sent agents to this
country looking for her.
"Then, when she was fifteen, they
settled down in Oak Park, where War
rem was a painting contractor. She
kept his house and had her freedom.
and, inheriting the temperament OF her
parents, was too fond Of that freedom
to keep out of mischief. She was fond
of cabarets, dances and the movies. So

authorities here.

her name from Owen to Gordon, ac-

TOLD OF H. c. L. IN HEAVEN
'Voice From Tomb" Persuades French
Widow to Place 500 Francs on
Husbands Grave.

Paris.-Because Of her readiness to
believe that even In heaven the cost
Of living had become serious prob
lem a certain faithful French widow
came near being defrauded the other
day. Since the death Of her husband
this woman had made 1t rule to
make a daily visit to his grave In the
Pere Lachaise Cemetery. But one day
while placing flowers on the mound
she was startled by hearing voice.
"Up here" the voice called out, 1T
Is the same as upon the earth-every-
body wants money. On every hand
are people asking for tips. Dear
friend, can you let me have 800
francSr'
Having no money witt her the
woman after struggling to overcome
her fear promised to bring some as
soon as possible and the voice replied
gratefully: THANK you"
The woman went home and told q
neighbor Of her remarkable experience.
The neighbor thought a while and then
advised the widow to do what the
voice had requested, but the neighbor
also went to the authorities and let
them in on the secret.
Gathering together the necessary
500 francs the widow piously placed
the money on the grave in a purse and
went away. When she was out OF
sight a young man stepped out from
behind a nearby tombstone and tool
up the purse. But the next thing ht
knew a policeman had him by thu
collar.
It turned out that the young mar
was q nephew Of the widow, but a

and withdrew the charges when thu

arms appealed to the widow for mercy

chant vessels off the Virginia and Car
olina coasts during the last six months

a mutinous crew, who confiscated the
vessel in the name Of the soviet gov
eminent.
After the captain and other officers
had been overpowered and locked up
the ringleader Of the mutineers. one
Knuefken, aided by two Bolshevist
agents who had been smuggled aboard
as stowaways, ran the ship into the
port Of Murmansk.

Here Knuefken left the ship and

Meanwhile, members Of the crew who

WHY UMPIRES STICK

Reversal Would Mean Loud Pro.
tests and Delays.
Few Games Would Go Beyond Firs,
Inning IT 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 inyari-
ably wrong. Every umpire tune and
again In the season understands in a
fash, after he has decided one wav
that ne should have decided another.
but II ne reversed himself, thus en-
courag1ng 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 Of those
three-day cricket matches.
II 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 in baseball
that 1t Is better to lay it down as q
definite principle that an umpire shall
stick by his decision, even when he
realizes on second thought that he
was wrong, than it is to encourage
the players In the belief that IL they
talk long and loudly enough they car
persuade him to reverse himself
While cases occasionally arise II
which an umpire would be justified In
reversing himself, such a reversal
based upon new evidence. so to speak
would lead to interminable argu
menfs and proffers Of new evidenct
upon all close plays.
