NEW YORK, May 6.-1f you
should encounter the "old arbi-
traitor" Bill KLEIN. at ball game
. one of these days, it wouldn't be wise
to suggest that he has retired from
his exacting trade OF calling EN-
right.
4. True, KLEIN no longer wears blue
uniform nor stands behind the plate,
but the way he looks at it, his new
. role as chief of the National League
umpiring staff requires him to see
that they're called right for the en-
tire circuit And as part OF his task
he spends nearly every afternoon at
a ball park watching the umpires
work
KLEIN usually sits in the press box,
q bit apart from the writers, but the
other day he discovered a new post
of vantage. He watched a game
from Horace Stoneham's Office, in
the tower beyond the farthest
reaches of center field at the Polo
Grounds.
Eyesight Must Be Good.
"That is the finest view of ball
game 1 ever had" he said. 1T is a
wonderful place from which to study
the positions of my umpires. Why,
I could even call balls and strikes
from there"
Did you?" he was asked
mo. I didn't. But I could. 1t is a
fine place for me to watch the work
of the plate umpire
That obviously requires pretty good
eyestght. for it's 430 feet from the
home plate to deep center field at
the Polo Grounds and somewhat
farther to the Office window.

Greenberg Swinging
BAT Last Time for
Tigers for Year
Teammates Give Watch
To Hank, Who Enters
Army Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, May 6,-Hammerin'
Hank Greenberg, the big Detroit
out1elder, swings his major league
war club for the Detroit Tigers the
last time today-for at least year.
And tomorrow the tall Brooklyn
Jewish boy, whose hard-earned
career won the hearts of Detroit
baseball fans, will exchange a $50
900 annual salary for a SLIPPER
month stipewi that selective service
recruits receive. His bat will be
replaced by rifle.
No special ceremony was planned
today as Hank prepared to step
to the plate, but larger-than-
usual weekday crowd was expected
to watch the Tigers against the
New York Yankees.
Greenberg's teammates said their
goodbyes at a country club party
last night. They presented him
with a gold watch on which their
names were inscribed. The going
away" party was attended by the
Yankees.
Big Hank, ranked as Detroit S
most glamorous performer since Ty
Cobb, experienced lack-luster start
II years ago in the minors and
gained his place in the big time by
sheer perseverance.
In 1888 he caught on with the IT,
gers and during the intervening
years has compiled a 1926 lifetime
major league batting average. a to-
tai Of 1888 runs batted in during 1887
and a collection of SO home runs in
1e38-two short of Babe Ruth's all
