So uplifted in spirit do they be—

In securing Bush, Manager Harris
of the Washington club is continu-
ing his policy of depending on vel—
eran pitchers.
Coveieskie and P. euthcr came
through for him in great shape last
season. They should win plenty of
games this year.
Bush. who broke. even last season
with 14 wins and as many defeats,
should help-Harris in his effort to
land ‘another pennant. While he
hasn't the burning speed of old. his

H‘ ‘lntlonul League Umplris are
S ‘ to he required this year to
Elie] offloiatc during the spring
k, a. training trips of the clubs.
This is the result of .so
much inefficient umpiring by inex-
perienced during . tho ' preseason
games bctncen the minor and ma.
Jor league clubs.
The big league umpires will get
in good shape by the exercise and
practice furnished by working in
the early games. therefore the plan
seems an excellent one to as.
Objection1 has been raised on the
grounds that traveling with a team
will result in too much familiarity
and perhaps friendship between the
umpire and players. This pies seems
groundless when the character of
the major league umpire is consid-
ered. These men are chosen because
of recognized impartiality and fair-
ness during several years of cxper
lenco as umpires. Furthermore any
evidence of favoritism on their part
would-at once bring down upon
their heads the unquestionable crit-
icism of the operators as well as
that of players and managers of
both teams and the president of the
league.
The job. of umpirin'g is an ex-
tremely reacting one both physical-
ly and ,mentally. The umpire must
have precise- knowledge of every
rule of the game and be able to use
this knowledge on a seconds no-
tice. His Judgement must be as
‘quick and keen as his eye for any
hesitation in giving a decision is fa-
tal to success. . .
The ability of those men to con-
trol their feelings ‘and act with
judgement during many ' instances
of sodSeIess and unfair objections to
their decisions by both players and
fans. is indicative of a very well
balanced mind ‘
If thousands of fans and ban-
dreds of players 'wouid
think' and could realise the great
responsibility always placed on an
umpire particularly in a closely
contested, world series. their criti-
. cism would be reduced to the min-
imum and Ihou'ts' of "'lfiii.the um-
pire" would be‘ heard no more.
Let anyone imagine himself in
the position of an umpire calling
"Goose" Goslln out on a close play
at the home plate. in'the deciding
game of a world series when the
reverse decision of safe would mean
the “hunting" for Washington. Who
wants the job?
Let us recognize the high char-
acter of the man who gives a quick
and correct decision with force and
dignity under such conditions. Tile
Judgement of such a man would
hardly be affected by six weeks of
friendly contact with players on. a
training trip.
A "good‘ winner" is, also a. “good
loser" in anyllne of endeavor. The
"umpire batters" are toibe found
among the "poor losers" both on
the field and in the grandstand.
When an umpire is “roasted"
from title grandstand or bleachers
it is usually from some "would be
sport." who has bet two dollars on
the game and the teamthat he is
backing is evidence of losing. This
is a. form _of "commercialism" (if
the practice can be- so dignified)
from which athletics' should be rid,
The sincere endeavor onthe part of
the club owners to'climinate this
element from among the spectators
should be commended.

At the opening of the campaign
Rommel set his heart on winning
