MEET
West Virginia and George
town Runners Compete
Here Saturday.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va, April 8.
Shortly after the 1924 track and
field schedule was announced Satur-
day the West Virginia University
athletic department completed ar.
rangements with Georgetown Uni
versity for dual meet to be held
at Washington next Saturday. Ne
gotiations had been under way for
a week, but on Saturday the West
Virginia officials were without def
mite information and decided to
make the card public-not mention
ing Georgetown.
The Georgetown meet is the first
West Virginia has ever scheduled
with an important Eastern uni
versity. Heretofore the Mountain.
GERS have always confined them
selves to Ohio and Tristate district
rivals. If the trip to Washington
is any criterion, the 1924 squad may
pave the way to closer relations
with institutions Of that section.
West Virginia harbors little hope
of victory over the powerful George
town track machine. The Noun
taineers presented a fairly strong
squad last spring and may have
given the Catholics a close fight
late in the season, but this year
with a number Of leading point win
ners to be replaced, their chances
are not SO favorable.

.UMP|RES EXIST
As BASEBALL
HERM|TS
Forced to Live Entirely AIoof
From Men They Govern
on Diamond.

Many baseball fans accept the
umpire as a necessary evil to an
otherwise wonderful game. They
look on him as a sort of enemy
when he decides some close play
against the home team and with
hold any credit ever for decisions
which may favor the team for
which they are roofing.
The successful big league umpire
must live a hermit, apart from all
the friendships and familiarities and
tanning bees Of fans and players.
He must be a man without a coun-
try, home or haunt in the baseball
world.
He must ride alone on the train;
he must stay in a different hotel;
he must keep aloof while on the
baseball parks; he must avoid all
baseball assemblies.
In fact, he must seek all his
mirth and relaxations and associates
outside Of the field of his life work.
The umpire is in the unhappy
position of getting booed from time
to time, but never applauded. And
yet umpires have lived through
years of abuse to command the re-
spect of even the most rabid.
Many of Them have been gradu.
ated from the baseball diamond and
were known as players before they
were known as umpires AS q rule,
however, they are recalled only rs
umpires and little is known about
their careers.

COPPER BARONS ARE
IMPORTING WORKERS

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 2.-Michi-
gan trade unionists protest against
the labor-importing policy of north
Michigan copper barons. These en-
ployers asked the federal department
of labor to permit them to bring
miners into the copper country.
The department of labor, it is
stated, quietly granted this request,
and large numbers of workers have
arrived in the upper peninsula.
Trade unionists declare there is no
necessity for flooding the copper
country with workers who will fail to
secure employment, and who have
been imported for the one purpose of
lowering work conditions.
The local federation of labor has
instructed its officials to protest
against this condition. The trades and
labor council Of Sault Ste. Marie has
taken similar action, as have other
upper peninsula trade unions.
