Blind Vets Want
Fans to Be Right
About Umpires
By the Associated Press

The Blinded Veterans AS
sociation, whose members can
do a surprising number OF
things, now proposes to take
over the umpiring jobs in base
balls big leagues.
Officers have announced the
adoption in the fourth annual
convention at the Hotel WASH
ington of this resolution, in
troduced by ]. P. Moriarty OF
Canton, Ohio:
Whereas this baseball sea-
son has seen much dissension
because of umpires' decisions
in both National and American
Leagues, and
Whereas a multitude Of
players have pointed out that
this condition derived from de-
linquency in the eyesight Of
the umpires in said leagues: be
it therefore
Resolved that for the season
of 1850 umpires be recruited
from the members of the
Blinded Veterans Association
who scan call the plays with
greater facility than the per-
sonnel now employed; and be
it further
Resolved that such action
will bring infinite happiness to
the fans, because when they
cry, the ump is blind!' they
will be telling the literal truth"

Julius Singer, top-average PIN
man in the Major District Duckpin
League the last three seasons, now
has another distinction in being
the first manager of a pin plant to
become editor and publisher Of a
bowling paper.
Fresh of the press is the Green
way Bowling News. a 12-page,
7-by-10-inch tabloid, filled mostly
with news about the establishment
Singer directs.
He will get his sheet out once
a month, devoting its pages to the
happenings at Greenway. In the
first issue Jesse Veihmeyer, a
member Of one of Northeast's
prominent bowling families, has
contributed a breezy bit Of verse,
Keep Chuckin'!"
The merchants in the vicinity Of
Greenway are helping Julie to
make the paper possible with ad-
vertisements.
Incidentally. Singer, who aspires
to be the first bowler ever to lead
the District League for four con-
secutive seasons, was off to great
start with 395 set. If he keeps
up this pace he not only will crack
Astor Clarke's record 130-plus
average made in 1940. but most
likely would be assured his goal.

Meanwhile the injuries are piling
up at other schools hereabout.

year. A similar ailment put Gen.

today with two more players there
on the shelf. Guard Frank Small
will be out for about six weeks with
a shoulder separation received in
yesterdays scrimmage and Full

lined for a week or more by a
sprained wrist. Both injuries hit
Coach Bob Margarita at positions
already shorthanded because Of
earlier injuries.
In addition to G. w., Maryland
has an important scrimmage on
tomorrow's schedule. The Terra
pins will try out some secret stuff
at this one and the public and
students will be barred.
