lleydlcr sees no material wrong in
the transaction if it is merely that
he wishes to leave no axis upon
which idlc. tongues may wag.
"There is probably not the slight-
cst harm in the close association of
an umpire and msmbers of a. ball
'ciub. but I consider it detrimental
to the morale of the umpires corps."
Heydler said recently. “During the
regular season we keep the umpires
and players strictly and studiously
apart when they are not on the ball
field. 0n training trips the umpires
stop at the same hotel with the play-
ers. ride on the same Pullmans and
often participate in the general so-

they travel. This is a. ondition.

However. Heydler speaks for a
bigger. better and less acrimonious
futurr-. and his idea. therefore. is
not without merit. If umpires in
spring training camps cause rumors
to be placed in circulation then let
the umpires spend their late winters
clsevvherr. That, at any rate. will
be lit-adier's suggestion to them.
"There are certain reasons why I
consider this to be a good thing."
he added. "After some of the things
that baseball has gone through late-
!lv we must be especially careful.
\Vhen a close decision goes against
a. team and it is rendered by an um-
pire who was Couth with the oppos-
ing team. it. is possible that insinua-

we have too much of half-kidding

The bill as outlined l~y Superin-

majority among sportsmen. he says,
and unless something is done to off-
set the rapid decrease in open lands
they will be entirely excluded from
the open air pursuits of hunting
: and fishing. J
)lr. Tttcomb has sounded the sen-
timent of land owners on the pro-

they are in favor. Provision is made
for strict protection of property
rights and the clarifying of existing

says will tend to reduce vandalism
