have played only five games, but al- ready Grimes has been chased from the park on two occasions. And only yesterday he was hailed up on the red carpet before President Ford Prick of the National League for a violation of the Abner Doubleday code.
 The llrnpires, it appears don't suit him. His is the only true eye, his judgment the only sound judgment. So he has made the Sanctuaries of the peanut and the hotdog resound with his bellows of rage; thrashed the bright clean air with his paws; and putted his blue chin to the last jut.
 And for what?
 This was the second question my recently aroused mind tackled. And it came up with this conclusion:
 For nothing!
 Some may disagree with my mind. In fact, some may argue that I haven't one. have heard it said by some astute baseball critics that Grimes, by always fighting with the umpires, inspires his team with the knowledge that he-their manager is ever ready to take up the cudgels in their defense.
 This doesn't add up. Managers never win fights with umpires, and after Grimes has lost seven or eight in 8 row it is bound to give his charges a defeatiSt complex, They are apt to begin saying something like this when Burleigh rushes forth to do battle:
 There the old man goes to take another licking. Doesn't he ever WIN ONE?"
 Not There
 I have heard other critics say the baseball customers relish a fight Perhaps they do relish a fight, but how many honest to goodness fights DO THEY EVER SEE? Of all atl1- letes, baseball players are the worst fighters. Their bark is terrific, but when it comes right down to throw ing punches punches that count their bite is strictly poodlish. They scream home runs and throw bunts.
 But to get back to my original subJect-that of Grimes stealing the show from his team. He reminds me, as did his predecessors, of the the- atrical director who, unwilling to re- main in obscurity while his players performed, kept rushing from the wings shouting:
 ''Wow! Whoops! Here I am!"

New York, April 30-(U.Po-My mind, which has been in hiberna- ton since the first snowfall of last winter, finally awoke today and its first bit of business was to decide that Burleigh Grimes is fast going the way of all Brooklyn Dodger managers.
 That is, Burleigh is keeping busy 24 hours a day making his person. ality and the actions of his ball club. In doing this he is only fol- lowing the paved highway of pre- cedent. Wilbert Robinson Uncle Robbie"-did it with his kindly, lov- able eccentricities. Casey Stengel did it with his rubber face and Jimmy Durante-ish subtleties. And now Grimes is doing it with his don quixote like rrlshes into the wind- mills that are the umpires.

Malicious

Too often mischief tolerated at
the Halloween period becomes
malicious and embrases sheer
vandalism. Turning in false fire
alarms. removal Of screens. gates
and other property from occupied
IS well as unoccnp.ed residences.
streWing epcks about the streets,
letting air ont Of tires and mark
ing windows Of automobiles and
houses are a few examples Of this
sort OF malicious mischief. To
make matters worse, it is not con
fined to one night, but frequently
begins week or more before
Halloween.
The blame for this vandalism
rests primarily upon parents who
allow their children TO Join i'm
promptu gangs at the Halloween
season and do not teach them re-
spect for the property or rights
of other individuals Parents who
neglect their responsibility in this
matter have no cause for COM
plant if they are compelled TO
pay fines for the malicious mis-
chief Of their children.

The Putterers

The worlds workers are divided
into two classes. those who work
theoretically and effectively. and
those who fuss and putter over
their tasks, and take an inordin-
ate amount Of time.
A putterer might be defined as
2 slow and dawdling worker who
directs the motions Of his hands
in an aimless and incompetent
way, wasting time By feeble and
{ll directed motions, falling to
give due attention to his work,
letting his mind wander while the
work drags along.
