And His Contribution
To Baseball Has Been
Great and Lasting

all abOut?" insisted the manager
of the visiting team.
Did you ever see an umpire
who knew what it was all
abOut?" ScOrnfully inquired the
home pilot.
Thus did John Arnold Heydler
achieve the first of his life's am.
bitions - he was out there
thumbing 'em and spreading
'em in big league ball game.
Naturally they never got him
out Of there after that. He
was first appointed a substitute
and then a regular umpire in
the National League. Washing
ton was in the National League
in those days.
Ump Until 1898
Heydler officiated fearlessly
and efficiently in that circuit
until 1898, when he got into a
squabble with Andy Freedman,
who owned the New York
Giants, and resigned.
Heydler then determined to
become a sports writer, proving
once more that he was a glutton
for punishment. He also made
good in that field and might
have been in it to this day If
Harry Pullman hadn't made him
official statistician of the Ma
tional League. So John figured
and figured, and then Mr.. Pull
mans health failed, and he be-
came temporary head of the
league.
He did not hold the job per.
manently then, but when Gov.
John K. Tener resigned as head
of the league in 1918, the man
who broke into baseball with an
umpire'S mask and an odd ambi-
ton was unanimously chosen
president of the league.
Sixteen Years Rgo
That was 16 years ago and in
those 16 years John Heydler, in
his quiet, soft spoken way, has
proved himself one of the finest,
best beloved executives in the
history of the game.
Many happy returns, John,
and also may you live to see
many more such splendid shows
as baseball put on at the Polo
Grounds on your birthday. So
far as this commentator could
see that was a perfectly handled
performance. The publicity, the
crowd, the players and yes. by
golly. even the umpires were
great. Let's not allow a feature
as good as this to die.

would for brook trout. The best
bats are live grosshoppers,
crickets, dry flys and fly and

hard fighters and make many
jumps when hooked.
Catches Improving
After a period of several days
of inactivity in salt water the
catches are gradually improving.
From Tilghman'S, on the Eastern
Shore, comes the report that the
hardheadS are now biting. At
Solomon's Island during the past
week, weakfish or trout have been
biting and hardheads are again
active. The average size of both
is small.
Sam Tillet, Of Oregon Inlet,

Largest catch of channel bass, 18;
largest catch of blues. 90; small
est catch of channel bass, 4;
smallest catch Of blues, 40. The
fish are much smaller than the
first run.

HOME
COURSE IN 8
UNDER PAR
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Golf wonders will never cease

Golf wonders will never cease.
Roger S. Peacock, ace amateur
of the Indian Spring Country
Club, sped around his home
course yesterday in a sizzling 81,
nine under par, to establish a
new on-competitive course
record. His 81, it is believed, is
the lowest amateur round Of all
time and betters by one stroke
the SO Bobby Jones scored over
the East Lake course at Atlanta,
Ca, on September 16, 1925. Par
at East Lake is 70.
Peacock'S score was one more
than the 81 registered by AL
Houghton, Kenwood pro, over the
Washington Golf and Country
Club course this past spring.
Nevertheless, Peacock's round was
played under summer rules while
Houghton benefited from winter
rules.
The all-time non-competitive
golf low, pro or amateur, is 56,
shared by c. c. Aylmer and
George Duncan. Aylmer played
Ranelagh in Sc and Duncan
toured Axenfals in Sc. Next
comes James Braid's. 81 at He'd.
berwick. One of the lowest
rounds ever scored on a cham
pionship course is the 33-28, 81,
by Aubrey Boomer in the third
round Of the French Open at
st. Cloud in 1929. Boomers 81
is also the lowest ever chalked
up in an open championship and
was scored over a standard
length course.
Playing with Peacock were his
father, Harry c. Peacock; Russ
Hollebaugh, w. H. Dickhaut, Frank
Butler and Jimmy Greene, of At
lanta. Indian Spring measures
6,577 yards from the back tees.
Peacock'S 81 shaved four strokes
Oft the best previous non-competi-
tive mark Of 66, held by j. Monro
Hunter. former Indian Spring
pro. The best previous non-com-
petitive amateur mark was the 81
shot by George j. Voigt in the

Indian Spring several years ago

record is 81, carded by Miller B.

Big Game Day Was
John AS Birthday
But Nobody KnelU 1t
BY BILL CORUM

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Rath-
er belatedly it develops that
July 10, the day of the recent
all'star ball game, was also the
birthday Of Mr.. John Arnold
Heydler, president of the Ma
tional League. It was Emmet
Boyles, the fellow who sells
the ball players their insur-
ance, who called this columns
attention to the fact. Mr..
Heydler is just trifle Sc
cretive about his age, and so
we'll not go into that, further
than to say that in addition
to being born on July 10, he
was born in 1870, at LaFarge-
vile, N. Y.
Heydler got into baseball the
hard way. He broke in as an
umpire. It was while he was
a printer setting type on the
Congressional Record in Wash.
ington that he conceived the
idea Of becoming an umpire.
Possibly it was the Congress
sional Record that drove him
to it. He may have read
some Of the speeches of our
lawmakers and said to himself:
/ Anything is better than
this, even being a baseball um-
pire."
Once the ambition had laid
hold Of him there was no stop
ping John. Every afternoon
when his printing job was done,
he would take his mask and pro-
tector and hurry out to the ball
park.
1,000-to-1 Shot
/ Naturally he looked like a
thousand.to-one shot at this
stage of the game. Nobody knew
him very well. He was just
visiting printer with a queer
yen to be an umpire. But there
was no shaking his determine
ton.
One afternoon the umpire as
signed to game in Washington
failed to appear at the park.
Possibly he was tired of umpir-
ing, and was out somewhere try
ing to find a steady job as a
printer. Life goes like that.
"WhatIf we dO?" the man.
ager of the visiting team asked
the manager of the Washing
ton team.
"Well," replied the manager Of
the Washington. There's q guy
sitting over Il e behind third
base that wants to be an umpire.

L. w. Bloom, Editor OF The Lake
land lF1orida) News, says:
If you r a reader OF a genuine
newspaper, you do not have to wond-
er about any incident that happens
in the community or that pertains to
any event that has news value being
purposely omitted.
IA newspaper must assume the OBJ
legation OF playing fair with everyone
and representing the people general
ly In every possible way. When an
item OF news occurs, it Is the duty
OF every genuine publisher not to
cover UP for anyone or any institu-
ton or take the opposite position
against others. And assuming a
middle-of-the-road attitude on issues
where principle In involved or where
right and wrong are paramount, lis
not the province OF the genuine
newspaper. On the other hand a
definite, consistent stand should be
taken and where the general good Is
concerned, 1t Is the duty OF a news
paper tx protect those rights and
above all, ignore the professional
promoter who Is always trying to
work newspapers to swing public
sentiment for some selfish interest.
I'm these times there are many
papers that permit their columns to
be opened to the paid propaganda,
that also permit the editorial and
the news columns to accept retain
ers' to influence the reader and
many are the things that are put
over under the guise OF news when
they are nothing more than the pro-
motion or idea Of some person or or
~ganization.
Newspapers that knowingly pro-
tect such things and become a party
to such interests are unfair to their
trust; they are untrue servants OF
the people and unworthy of public
confidence. All that readers OF a
genuine newspaper need to do to be
sure OF their suspicious Is to watch
conditions and measure the facts
with the way information is circul-
ated by the newspaper they read"
