Are Umpires People?
BY BEN COULD

but the only case on record of an
jumps being bitten by player came
one hot afternoon in Detroit. Bob
Fothergill, the very plump Detroit
outfielder. was getting fatter and
fatter, and Manager George Mori-
arity had put him on rigid diet. 1t
hadn't helped Bob's disposition.
When Fothergill was called out on
strikes, he turned and bit the UNI
pire on the arm. you're out of the
game" the mortified arbiter said.
That's all right, too," said
Fothergill. 'I've finally had a bite
of meat for the first time in months"
Hard to Convince
UMPIREs are notoriously stubborn
human beings. Often with the rain
coming down in buckets or night
falling they'll insist that the game
continue. One day, haze settled
over the field in the late innings of
Yankee-Indian game. Pitching for
the Indians was Bob Feller, then
wild young rookie. AS Lefty Gomez
of the Yankees stepped to the plate
he casually told the umpire the game
should be called because of darkness.
Keep playing" bawled the ump.
Gomez took out a match and
struck it on his bat Whats the big
idea?" sneered the man in blue.
Cant you see Feller?"
"Sure, | can," explained Gomez.
"But l want to make sure he can see
me-" P.S. The game was called.
Minor-league fans are particularly
hard on umpires. One afternoon in
Birmingham, Ala. someone IN the
throng called the arbiter particu-
larly obnoxious name. The ump
raced over to the stands.
"Whoever said that stand up"
he shouted.
Everyone in the park stood up.
The ump turned around, put on
his mask and said, play ball!'
Why do the umpires love their job
in spite of the abuse? Tim Hurst, one
of the toughest umpires of all time,
had tho ,ncuer az know it's rotten
job" he would say, "but you can't
beat those hours!

If you doubt it, there's
proof in these stories
IT'S A common delusion among
thousands of American baseball
fans that umpires are twentieth
century ogres who take a fiendish
delight in tormenting players, man.
ayers, coaches and spectators alike.
OF course the reverse is true.
Actually umpires are kindly. fatherly
men who make fine husbands and
who enjoy a laugh as much as the
next fellow.
Bill Klein, dean of all umpires,
likes to relate the one about be-
spectacled Danny MacFayden, then
hurting for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Danny, incensed at the way Bill
was calling them, swept of his
glasses with a flourish, shouted,
"Here, you need these worse
than | do"
You're out of the game" roared
Klein.
Pirate Manager frankie Frisch
ran out. Jaw, Bill" he sputtered,
Danny didn't mean a thing"
Then why was he yelling like
that" asked Klein.
Before Frisch could answer, Mac
Fayden horned in, Because
thought you might be deaf as well as

SAN FRANCISCO

HARRY IS. Truman has been
called an honest Harding as well
as the second Missouri COM
promise; a political accident and
mid-Western Coolidge.
Like Harding, Truman is loyal
to his friends in the machine po-
litics, smoke-filled, Darkroom
version of Damon and Pythias
legend. But at least it can said
for Harding's friends that they
were merely crooked.
Albert Fall, an old Senate
crony of Harding's who was ele.
waited to Secretary of the Interior,
got 100000 in a black satcbel
for despoiling the nations oil re-
serves.
Attorney General Harry Daugh-
erty, the Ohio political boss, who
got the presidency for Harding,
deposited substantial sums, far
more than he ever earned as head
of graft-ridden Department Of
Justice, in his brothers bank.
JESS Smith, who. shared an ho-
tel suite with Daugherty, put a
bullet through his head after de-
posting $4,000 in Liberty Bonds
in the same bank, made by selling
liquor permits controlled by the
Attorney Generals office.
Charles r. Forbes, director of
the Veterans Bureau, shot him.
self on the eve of public disclos-
ure that he had made a fortune
in selling surplus goods at a frac-
ton of their value.
These were some of the boys
with whom Harding played poker
and drank hard liquor in the lit
tie house on K street while silent
Cal Coolidge and Herbert Hoover,
members of the Presidents Off
eial family, saw nothing and
heard nothing of the corruption
and venality that flourished
around them.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-08-03

Whatever can be said of Hard
ings friends they never con-
doned the destruction of Lidice,
the fortunes of Buchenwald, the
mass executions by gas in auto
vans. They never cheered the
marching legions of Nazi gang
sters. They never imported the
Nazi poison of race hatred.
Perhaps this was only because
NaZism was before their time.
Perhaps they wodld have come
to this too. But President Tru-
man shrugs from his narrow
shoulders the small fact that his
friends sympathized with the
greatest murders of all times and
now look forward to realizing the
Hitler dream of aIigning the
United States in a new massacre
against the Soviet Union.

Ununimity means peace

We all watching the Paris peace conference
anxiously.
Our concern is for peace. And its achievement rests
foundation 1t is the principle of unanimity of the
big powers.
Roosevelt understood that.
That's why he helped to write the veto stipulation
into the original design of the United Nations
And yet there has been SO much confusion created
around the issue of the veto.
But the veto is the device whereby the powers can
say, 1--WE ALL agree"
The veto is the insurance that single nation will be
vctimized by any gang of nations.
The veto is the only instrument for achieving I'M
animty. There is other way.
That's why Americans who yearn for peace
must guard the veto. We must guard it the weapon
of nation but the instrument for unanmity OF the
nations = and the instrument for peace.

A new crop Of Heirens'?

In their mad scramble to sell the most copies of the

You Can Know Harry S. Trumon
By the Company He Keeps

1t was a businessman's admins
tration, run by successful bust
nessmen like Andy Mellon, and
it had all the morality of the
American business world.
And certainly, l do not mean
to suggest that the Missouri
gang is necessarily purer than
the Ohio gang, or that men like
George Allen, the presidential ad-
wiser, corporation director and
RFC official will be immune
from investigation whenever flu
ture congressional committees
explore the misdeeds of the Tru-
man gravy train.
But surely President Truman
has added something new to the
saga of great American friend
ships. And / am not referring
here to his warm and politically
profitable friendship with the
Pendergast machine.
Take the case of the Presi-
dents touching association with
Bennett Champ Clark, the ex-
Senator from Missouri who was
a confirmed America-F irster and
Soviet Halter.

Devotion

TRUMAN moved heaven and
earth in 1914 to have Clark re-
nominated in the Democratic pri-
mary. When the voters rejected
his man, Truman named him a
member of the second highest
court in the land, the U. S. Court
of Appeals in Washington. AS a
further sign of devotion the
President last year motored go
miles in a driving rain to attend
the ex-Senator's wedding.
Or consider the Presidents sim
gular devotion to Burton K.
Wheeler, as confirmed an anti
Semitic and Fascist as ever sat in
the Senate and who has publicly
opposed everything in foreign
policy and domestic legislation to
which Truman has paid public lip
service. VIII MIR. Truman now re-
ward the lameduck Senator with
a handsome appointment?
Even Mrs. Truman partakes of
this friendly spirit which per-
meates the White House. Repre-
