players like Ruth, Johnson, HornSby

full if any umpire today is ever re-

some friend of his with a compliment

The announcement that Walter
Johnson was to pitch was always a
magnet. If Babe Ruth is on a home
run rampage the fans jam the stands
to see him in action. The year that
Ruth broke the home-run record by
cloutng sixty circuit swats, he broke
and re-broke attendance records at ev-
cry American league park half-dozen
times. The fans care not who UNI
pires just so long as he does a good
job of it. If he is satisfactory he
draws silence, never applause. 1t is
only when fandom disagrees with him
that he receives any vocal considera-
ton at all.
Much has been written about the
competency and incompetency of the
umpires, probably the last has Been
more widely heralded. Don't get me
wrong, for l feel that the fans do like
to see a game well handled by the
umpires. However, l have always be-
lieyed il there came a time when ev-

sidered correct, and the games always
perfectly umpired, that baseball would
Immediately lose one of its strongest
selling points. For it Is really sur
prising the pleasure lot of people
get out of believing that had the UNI
pire not repeatedly erred in his rul-
ings, the home team would have been
victorious. The umpire is favorite
alibi and always will be.
On this point the status Of the um-
pire has been much improved in the
last fifteen years. The attitude taken
by the newspaper writer's, who cover
the ball games. has tended to make
the work much easier. In the old days
the alibi was much favored in explain
ing defeats through the press, and the
umpire wasn't overlooked as a target.
Today it is much different.

"You can't beat thin hours, me bye,
three to five" That was fay orite
expression of the late Tim Hurst,
when an umpire, after an unusually
tough day, would express his disgust
with his job.
Hurst was pictureque character;
the game probably will never know
another just like him. He had keen
sense of humor, whitening sarcasm
that he used to advantage on the pro-
testing players, and the courage of
spartan. Tact and diplomacy are sup
posed to be most necessary assets of
an umpire. Tim didn't think much of
either, unless gifted repartee, in which
he seldom came out second best, might
be so construed.
Perhaps no person connected with
baseball plays a more important part
in what may be termed the artistic"
success of ball game than the umpire,
yet he is merely regarded in the light
of a necessary evil Only when he
fails TO show up for ball game is
his worth appreciated. Aside from
being a necessary evil the umpire is
baseball's greatest alibi, either from
the viewpoint of player or fan. If
player gets the worst Of close de-
cisiOn, if he is called out on a perfect
third strike, he can attempt to shift
the responsibility by protesting the
umpire's decision. And what relief
it is to some fans after defeat to
recall how differently things would
have been had the umpire called the ball
hit down the third base line fair in
stead of foul. Fandom was a unit
in regarding it as fair, but the umpire
thought otherwise. The two runs that
should have scored on that hit would
have won the ball game.
l have said the umpire is a most
important asset from an artistic stand
point; however, only limited few UNI
pires have had anything to do with
the financial end of the game. Star

BIG EGG REPORT IN STATE
Egg Report to Poultrymen Issued
by III. S. Palmer, Director

The egg production records from
115 poultry farms throughout the
state have been included in the
October report of the Delaware
farm egg record club which has
been prepared by H. S. Palmer, ex-
tension poultryman of the Uni
versity of Delaware, and mailed
recently from the county extension
offices to those poultry raisers who
have cooperated in this project by
keeping egg records of their focks
during the past year. The average
production of the 6,237 pullets for
October was ST eggs, and that of
the 2,177 hens was 81 eggs, as
compared to 4.6 eggs per bird
from the 18,4O7 pullets and hens in
mixed f1ocks. The production in
October Of last year was 81 eggs
per pullet, 3.04 eggs per hen, and
A eggs per bird IN the flocks cen
sisting of both pullets and hens,
which compares very faVorably
with the egg production for the
same month this year. The sixty
seven poultrymen in Kent county
who have been members of this
egg record club for the past year
received their copies of this report
last week from the office of Coun-
ty Agent Russell E. Wilson, who
has distributed to date seventy-six
of the 193O-1931 poultry calendars
to those poultry raisers who have
promised to keep egg production
records for the next twelve months
starting November 1 and ending
with the October report next year.
In addition to these statistics on
the average egg production from
these 115 farms, the October re-
port also included summary OF 2
talk which was given over the
radio on November 26 by Roy C.
Potts, chief of the division Of dairy
and poultry products, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, in regard
to the outlook prices for poultry
and eggs for the coming winter
and spring months. Mr.. Potts
stated that no general improve
ment in poultry prices is anticipat-
ed for the remainder of this year,
and also that present indications
do not point toward a very active
egg market for the early part of
1881. The low market prices for
poultry are due to the fairly large
number of birds still on the farms,
and to the generally reduced pur-
chasing power of the consuming
public as the result of the depress-
ed business conditions, in addition
to the fact that the improbable
experiences of cold storage opera
tors last spring have caused these
men to be very conservative in
storing poultry this fall Those
dealers who stored eggs last
spring also lost considerable
Smyrna times., 1930-12-24

money on their holdings. SO tba -
mand for eggs for storage next
spring is likely to be limited with
the result that egg prices are not
expected to be very high this com
ing winter. Any marked change
in the poultry and egg markets
for the next few months, however
will depend upon the possibilities
of an Improvement in general bus

country with an increased buvine
