 Play at the hour for the begin ming of the game, unless such de- lay in appearance or in commence ing the game be unavoidable
 There is nothing in the record to show that the non-appearance was unavoidable. As a matter of fact, managers of both teams called me up before and after 5 o'clock Of the afternoon of May 2l (the dead-line for no game on account of rain) and asked me if there was to be a game played and I an- swered them both, Yes, and they both agreed
 The Legion's manager was on the field and the Elks' manager and team were absent.
 Tn view of the above am com pelled, in all fairness, to overrule the protest.
 For the good of the sport and the morale of the players, games forfeited at the whim of any cannot be sanctioned.
 If, however, the manager of the Legion team is willing to play the game off, such an arrangement $ perfectly agreeable with me.
 The decision is signed, William A. Holzheimer, President"

ELK PROTEST 0VERRULED BY
 LEAGUE HEAD
Holzheimer Vetoes Forfeit Complaint, But Gives
 Replay Permission

Refusing to award the Elks their protest of a forfeited game to the Legion, but allowing the possibility of replaying the game if both man. agers agree to do so, President Will liam Holzheimer gave written decision on the first protest the City Baseball League has had this season.
 Here is the complete text of the decision:
 Re the protest by Manager Kos Ri of the Elks team of game for feited to the Legion on May 2l, 1885. by the umpire because of the non-appearance of the Elks' team.
 Manager Koski calls attention to the fact that our league is govern ed by Spalding's Baseball Rules and bases his protest particularly on Rule 26 of the said game.
 Can't Fellow Rule
 In the first place, our rules say that we should be governed by the Spalding Guide as far as possible.
 "In the second place, it is not practicable in this country to be governed by Rule 26 as to wet grounds as a great many of our games have to be played more or less in the rain. For instance. con- slider the fact that the four games already played this year have been played in a rain as severe, if not more so, than that on May 2l
 Under our own rules, written and written, the President has been given the power to fix the leagues schedule, set the time for play of regular and play-off games, and select the umpires. Under this authority. the President has given full power to the umpires on the field to call the game, etc.
 Wrong Premise
 However, granting for the sake of the argument that Rule 26 ap- piled, the manager is off on a wrong premise. First, he, nor his captain, were on the field at the hour of play nor for one-half hour afterwards, at which time the um- pire forfeited the game to the Le- zion. Hence, how could they judge the condition of the ground? Sec ond, the game was forfeited because of the non-appearance of the Elks team and not the wet grounds or bad condition of the field.
 Rule 24 of the guide follows: "A forfeited game shall be declared by

Predictions Of the success Of the
Presidents efforts are made BY the
Columbia Is. c. Record, the Atlanta

Union refers to the President as "a

New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury de-

Afraid of the Dark.

Children are adventurous in psyche
logical character. They take chances
that adults customarily choose to
avoid, and much of the routine busi-
ness of parents and teachers is q
kind of police duty designed to pre-
vent too reckless gambling with diff
ferent varieties of danger on the part
OF their small charges.
But, strangely enough perhaps, the
average youngster is afraid Of the
dark. The explanation probably is
that in his fear of night and its
shadows the child reflects an exceed
ingly ancient reaction Of primitive
humanity. Scientists who devote
themselves to the exploration Of the
remoter past Of the race believe that
such is the case. Homo sapiens, they
believe, survived largely because ne
was gifted with powers Of imagination
suficient to prompt defense against
the unknown terrors Of the opaque
period between sunset and dawn. Ap-
prehension of the perils Of the mys-
terious hours of the suns absence, 1t

Generalization Results
From the Gold Decisions
To the Editor Of The Star;

10 tne EQltor OF The stars
The demoralizing influence upon the
people Of the decision Of the Supreme
Court in the gold clause cases has
matured earlier than 7 anticipated.
I have received some letters in re-
Spouse to my communication in The
Star on the moral implications and
probable moral consequences Of the
decision. One gentleman, who ap-
pears from his letter to be an intelli-
gent and educated man, says in refer
ence. to the decision, among other
things: 81 have served notice on two
concerns I owe that II the
Government can breach the essence Of
its Eold clause contracts, which Is the
same thing as saying the contract Is
mo good" I can likewise breach any
promise made to pay and not be

I take comfort in the thought and
faith that the time will yet come when
the moral sense of the people will
awaken and find its equilibrium, and
when It does the gold clause decisions
Of the court will be overruled directly
or indirectly and the standards OF

then, Is involved. A poster recently
distributed by an insurance company
illustrates the point. The design shows
q ghostly owl against Q stygian sky,
the bird declaring: "It's wise to be
afraid Of the dark" In the foreground
a sketch Of two automobiles in COLI
sion IS introduced to dramatize the
slogan. A little girl, seeing the pic
ture, exclaimed, II think 50, too"
But possibly the warning might be
even more comprehensively applied.
In effect, It means: watch your
step"-a doctrine sensible and sound
beyond all need for argument. Half
the trouble in the world, 1t seems, ac-
crues from irresponsible acceptance Of
hazard, unwise speculation, fatalistic
willingness to "try ones luck" in de-
fiance of circumstance. Without
preaching cowardice, 1t may be argued
that caution ordinarily Is . desirable
and helpful protection for individuals
and for society in general.

Britain Increases Armaments.

Idealistic hopes that the world is
headed toward that millennial time
when swords can be beaten into plow-
shares are blasted afresh by current
developments in the House Of Com
mons. In q white paper submitted
by Prime Minister Macdonald. the
British government outlines an extern
sive new program Of arms expansion.
As John Bull looks at the world he
sees little Justification for pinning
faith on existing peace machinery
and draws the conclusion that Bri-
tannia's sole alternative is to grid her
self at every point for national Sc
curity. To that end the army, navy,
air force and coast defenses at home
and abroad are to be materially
strengthened. The figures Of contem-
plated expenditure are not so stgnifi-
cant as the causes which the gov
ernment enumerates as making them
necessary.
Germany's rearmament Is singled
out for emphasis. IT continued at
the present rate unabated and un-
controlled" the white paper says.

Liberals and the
WOrk.Relief Bill

TO the Editor OF The Start
No sooner was the vote counted last
Fall than the astute political COM
mentators Of The Star predicted that
the very size Of the liberal victory
would result In its embarrassment, II
not its ruin. The recent action Of
the Senate on the work-relef bill
amply affirms the soundness Of these
predictions.
The sad fact about most sincere
liberals Is that they are, politically
speaking, such saps. They seem to-
tally incapable of grasping those prin-
ciples of combination and compromise
SO essential to the success Of any
politica, movement.
Today we have an administration
thoroughly committed to the prin-
ciple that lasting betterment in our
economic situation can occur only
when labor receives Q materially
larger dividend from our national
production. Labor can, and should,
trust Roosevelt.
It is the pathetic plight Of labor
that 1t must sell its commodity In q
competitive market now glutted with
millions Of idle hands, and no pre-
vailing-wage clause" will long SUPER
sede the inexorably hard law Of sup
ply and demand. It Is the sincere
belief of labor's friends in the admin
istration that If the largest available
amount Of relief money be used to
put all the idle men to work full
time at a security wage, this removal
Of the surplus idle labor will permit
q stiffening Of the wage structure in
private industry.
It Is only in times when the de-
mand for labor equals or exceeds the
available supply that the worker
stands chance Of demanding and
getting q Just share Of what he Is
producing. Friends Of labor who see
eye to eye with the administration
realize that 1t is not alone necessary
to create purchasing power with this
$4 300, 900 900. It must insure labor's
getting, in the property which it
than labor has been getting in past
good times. II the same amount OF
money be spent at the higher So
called prevailing wages" it will give
employment to far fewer men. or il
will give but part-time employment
to the full group.
Opposing this Is the theory Of Or
ganized labor leaders and other equally
sincere friends Of labor who tell us
that the s50-a-month scale will pull
the whole private wage structure
down to that low level. In this op.
posing group are men who have made
labor conditions q lifetime study and
whose opinions must be treated with
respect.
However, there Is no guessing about
this: Reactionaries know by instinct
those moves Of practical political ex.
pediency by which great progressive
movements are retarded and finally
wrecked. And In the Senate the
friends Of labor have been made cats
paws in a reactionary plan to sabotage
the entire Roosevelt social program
Unless there shall develop among
the liberals Of the Senate statesmen
with enough political acumen to
match the adroitness of the little
group Of determined reactionaries
this great social movement that a few
months ago carried the high hopes Of
so many millions Of us will get
nowhere. It will crack into silly and
futile little factions.
