FROM THE UMPIRE's VIEWPOINT
IN q. u. JONES

deciding for or against. In discussing
close plays after game. find that
very seldom know which side was at
hat andswhich IN the field.
a fielder ofttimes catches n ball be.
fore the runner reaches the base with
plenty ~ time to make a putout and
fails to touch n runner or tags at and
misses him or he juggles the ball OF
misses u momentarily. often this In
hidden from the audience. but IL seen
by the umpire u he II on top of the
play. Sometimes the reverse happens
when the runer or the baseman maybe
between the ball an dthe umpire. When
n case Of hits kind occurs II very often
happens that people on different parts
of the srandstand see the play exactly
opposite.
II must be remembered that when
the mind In interested the eye In effect

two men may stand side by side and
see an occurrence and then 20 on the
witness stand In court and tells entirely
different stories and both be honest.
The success II an umpire depends al
most entirely on his being I'm top III all
plays. I, In his business to be there.
Where the play will bc made depends
on. the number u men On bases. the
number of outs. whether II Is a ground
ball or "A fly. Its speed. which side u
fielder u goes on. the relative score ut
the different stages Of the game and
last but not least the mental qualities
Of the player receiving the ball and
the ones on the bases. Some players
are fast. others slow. some take
chance. others always play safe. some
are quick thinkers others are slow ana
some are boneheads When one Of the
last named handles q ball In pinch
nobody knows what will happen. All an
umpire can do In 10 hope for the best
and look for the worst. ] have had
players double cross me and have run
TO third when the fielder threw to first.
As an example of what an umpire
must carry In his mind. We will take
runner On first and third ana one out.
there are twenty.one standard plays
that can be made depending on where
the ball In hit. An umpire must carry
all Of this In his mind In order TO act
instantly when the ball In hot and IN
addition he must figure that fielder
may make an error or pull bone.
There are two kinds Of decisions an
umpire has 10 make: Questions of the
rules and questions Of judgment. Cap
tains only may object 10 rule decision
no one may question a decision that 10
q question 81 the judgement OF the
umpire.
EMPIRES are arbitrary. They are
forced to be. This In recognised by the
big leagues a. they have Increased their
power until nj present they are prac'
ticaIiy cars on the field.
In conclusion my idea of the aims ct
sports are three: I. Physical develop
ment :. sportsmanship and. fsirmind
.dness. Perseverance. Winning IN not
the only aim ~ sports. Unless II teach
.s fairnsndedness and the ability to
smile under defeat and TO not overly
exult over victory II In a failure.
In all the battles II life the one who
does not know when he In defeated In
usually the victor. There are two old
truisms: The Lord helps those who
help themselves. and. The Lord hates

THEY ARE ~oUR" COURTS

Hon. William Boyce, Associate Justice OF the
Court Of Civil Appeals OF the Seventh Supreme
Judicial District OF Texas. made an address be-
fore recent gathering OF the Kiwanis Cubs that
could have been heard with profit. by thousands
OF citizens in this city and throughout the state.
The address was one in which the speaker defined
certain existing hurtiul conditions now prevailing
the causes therefor and the remedies needed with
reference to the courts OF the various grades, in
the country.
Justice Boyce pointed out the fact that there
is at present a great deal OF criticism about the
findings Of the courts In this connection he made
the disclosure tina, many OF these unfavorable
criticisms are warranted. But. he called atten-
ton OF those present to the fact tina, while there
is Justice in the criticism against the findings of
the courts this blame rests not wholly with the
courts rendering such decisions. He stated that
there are many good citizens in this city. this
county. this state and the nation. representing
the best people OF their several communities, who
uuthnkinpiy boas, the tact that Il take no stock
IN politics" according to Justice Boyce. this a.
tisude does not reflect the characteristics OF GOO
citizenship The very men who speak openly OF
their personal indifference to- and lack OF parti-
cpaton in politics and matters pertaining to gov
eminent and its administration are among the
first to voice uniavorabe criticism.
As one OF the most hur,iu results Of such lack
Of nteres, and participation in matters OF politics
and details of the application OF justice as antici-
pated by the laws OF the land. is that these re-
sponsiblites fall TO the hands OF those less well
qualified to pass upon them Those who may he

limited qualifications for office, are often named
for places Of importance. through the very ndif-
ference Of those who qualified in the ainples,

Rome, March 2l.-The acts OF the
London Preparations Conference were
severely criticized in the course OF the
debate in the Chamber of Deputies
yesterday which followed the speech
by Count Storza, the Foreign Minister
wko represented Italy at the confer
ence.
Many Deputies declared that the
policy of the Entente was not a policy
of peace, but Of provocation. The So
.cialist Deputies especially denounced
the policy of France, which they de-
clared was aimed at the permanent
occupation of Germany The Socialists
further asserted that Italy, being OPP
posed to the. domination of Germany
must be equally opposed to that OF
France IN political matters and to
that of England in economic and fin
ancial questions.
The 30 per cent. levy on German ex-
ports was denounced as injurious to
Italy, who wanted the German trade
in order to escape from the high Eng
lish and American exchange rates.
