AV MAXW VI 1 April 1. This feeble protest for more pay is a closely guarded secret. The umpires themselves never said a word for publication and the Ratute members of the exalted commish have not peeped. Through a piece of clever detective work, however, we were able to find a clue and snare the evidence. It was such clever e.tuff that we are making it public for the fir3t time as an aid to aspiring young detectives. w fATHER closely and get an eyeful of the "Mysterious Carlon, or the Stenog's Bonchcad Plat." There's a Stenog in the Story TT WAS a quiet night in Cincinnati. Only the shrill shrieks of the 0 o'cloik whistles calling the honest toilers from their work and the constant clang ing of the trolley car gongs broke the tomblike stillness. The natives wan dered aimlessly through the streets as in a daze, for the Ileds had lost an other ball game to tie White Sox: nnd many believed the world series was over despite the fact that Cincinnati needed one more game to win. Mistnkcs often happen in baseball, and after one-half a century of faith ful watching the bugs were beginning to crack under the strain. The first fifty years are always the hardest. We walked through the lobbj of the ronton and sau the sure-thing gents who bet their kale on tho Kcds paying oft! the suckers who foolishly wagered their bankrolls on the Sox. It was an inspiring sight. Over in a far corner sat the public stenographer, idly practicing the wage acalc on a new machine. That gave us an idea. Wc would illetute our dailj tory, make several carbon copies and be sure tha our paper would receive the thrilling story of the seventh game if the telegraph operator forgot to send the first one. Hut the idea was nil wet. The stenog politely informed us she was through for the day and the whistle had blown. Then came a clever idea. "Have you any caibou paper?" we asked "We will make the copii oursclf." Her hand dropped weauly into the sheets of carbon. She accepted 1000 waved us aw a. EXIT stenog and enter the plot. Lend Yonr Ear or "pEFORE starting to write up in the room we decided to wnit until King Gardner was declared victor over the story with which he was battling. That gave us a chance to examine the carbon paper, and wc noticed it had been used before and the imprint of the letter was plnin, but inverted. Having nothing else to do we translated the letter, and this is what we found "To tho National Commission "We, the four umpires officiating in the world sciics, desire your earnest consideration of the following brief which presents some convincing arguments as to why we believe we are entitled to more money for our work. "The figures of the first five games show that the winners will receive v well over $5000 each and the losers in the neighborhood of Jvk'OO. Membeis of the teams finishing second in each league will get about .$1000 each, while players on third-place teams will get close to $700. "It is our hope that the commission believes the umpires ns necessary to the success and welfare of the game as the plnycrs. Figuring our worth from the financial standpoint, we in no way compare. The compensation of the umpires as compared to that of the plavers makes the officials very ordiuarv Individuals. "We hope the numbers of the commission will agree that there is no sense of proportion In the money allotted the umpires, vho are responsible foi tht conduct of the game and the men who play it. The value of the dollar today is just one-half of what it was three or four years ago. We hope the commission, in view of the great financial success of the series, will grant the umpires a stipend of 52000 each as a reward for our season's efforts and our work in the series. "Trusting you will so favor us and thereby tend to equalize, to an extent the status of the umpire to the plajcr, we beg to remalu." There you have the story, with all nf the clever stuff exposed. The um- i ptrea are perfectly right in asking for SiiOOO for their services. In fact, they lire rery modest. 1 A tilt that nolo remains is for the Xntional Commission to decide that the umpire is as valuable as the player, and act accordingly and financially. ' "DAN JOHNSON was not in his office in Chicago when we called yesteidav. - His secretary, Will Ilarridge, however, was willing and anxious to answer all questions as only secretaries can answer. "How about the umpires?" wc asked. "Any chance to slip them an advance in salary for their work in the world series?" "Well, yes or no," replied Mr. Harrulge. "Mr. Johnson has gone for the day, Mr. Heydler is on his way to New York and Mr. Herrmann is quite busy receiving congratulations in Cincinnati. To my knowledge, these mem bers of the National Commission have not met officially to take up the matter and it probably will be settled by correspondence." Now nil the arbiters have to do is wait. Speaking of umpires, the most recent series was ably handled. Riglei, Evans, Nallln and Quigley had no tiouble to speak of, Iligler had a run-in with Ray Schalk, which he won without opposition, but that was all. Schalk should haTe a kick coming, but the day after he had been put out at the plate i instead of Heinle Groh he said : ."?''' "The umpiring this year is year is better re Tery capable." That's pretty good coming fiom .lighting. nEKITAFS the umpires untl he retcarded. If not, it won't le be- cause of the mysterious carlon or the stenog'i lonehead play. The feeble protest for $2000 no longer is a secret. Everybody is in on it note. I TT A pitcher is allowed to expectoiate on a baseball, or to chew the cover, or shine the pill on paraffin, why nttempt to havo any standard ball? Or why not permit him to take out his knife and Bhnpc tho ball any way he cares to?

The Backwash of War THE war is over, but a number of estimable football players upon rarlous college nnd university elevens don't seem to know it. Officials already nre complaining of unnecessary roughness upon the part of numerous nthlctes, most of whom were in the service. For example, one official reports n meet- , ing of two D. 8. C. stars, who, having earned medals for bravery under fire, seemed to think that it was up to each to commit murder on the football field In order to further prove that the niednls were justly awarded. There will be vast Bhoals of young footballers who served the flag meeting headlong tills fall, and with the militnrj spirit still blazing in their mnnly breasts they will be on the alert for a 'rough nnd tumble game. This spirit was n wonderful J thing in helping to crack the Hindenburg line or the Krcmhilde stellung. Hut it isn't necessary to cnny the outbieak quite that far in attempting to crack the Hnrvnid line or the Pcnusjlvnnin stellung. Officials will have to be cx tremelj active in suppressing this supernulor before it obtnins too much head way. The nthlctes in question mean well enough, but football is virile enough when pln.ved in n noimal way, without having the backwash of war add to the general impetus. f Neiv Books by Pat Moran 'The Scats of the Mighty."
