Are the right-hand batsmen of the
major leagues losing caste, and are
they going to allow all the l%eft-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 All 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 a 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
u 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.

handed batsmen of the major leagues

Why UMPIRES STICK
10 FIRST DECISION
Reversal Would Mean Loud Pro-
tests and Delays.
Few Games Would 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 q
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 Of 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 TRAN n inning, as enough dis
puted decisions would ordinarily arise
in the first round to keep the ump
engaged all the rest of the afternoon.
Long and painful experience has
taught the powers that be in baseball
that it is better to lay It down as a
definite principle that an umpire shall
stick by his decision, even when he
realizes on second thought that he
vas wrong, than it 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 a reversal,
based upon new evidence, SO to speak,
would lead to interminable argu-
ments and proffers of new evidence
upon all close plays.

Market gluts are one of the princi-

products, especially those of a highly
perishable nature, such as soft fruits
and vegetables, which cannot be held
until conditions of supply and demand
adjust themselves. Avoidance Of
these ruinous conditions is possible in

While the carrying Of lunches is by

few cases In which 1t is not desirable
for the school to share with the home
the responsibility for the MONDAY
meal. In some places the task for the
school may be hardly more than that

lunch baskets, where the food will
not be likely to become dirty or
spoiled. In others 1t may be practi-

only one teacher that the midday meal
presents the most difficult problems.

is a growing tendency to try the ex-
