GOOD GAME FOR
WEST END FANS
Champs to Play Jackson A. C
in Series For Local
Honors
Harrisburg's big game to-morrow
will be played at Fourth and Market
streets. The attraction will be the
West End A. C. and Jackson A. C.
While other teams have been show
ing apace and are in the race for the
-local championship, the Jackson and
West End nines are considered big
in this season's series.
For several weeks the West End
has had teams below their class. The
schedule for the balance of the sea
son, according to Manager Charles J.
Householder, will mean faster games.
The West End will also have the Serv
ices of former stars and old-time
battles are looked for.
Jackson A, C, Kaftt Bunch
Jackson A. C. has been winning
Victories every week and a short time
ago defeated the Dauphin team of
.the Dauphin-Perry league. The Jack
sons are a bunch of speed boys who
make good in every game and furnish
much interest for spectators. The
game to-morrow will be for blood and
there is considerable rivalry between
the two teams.
West End offers facilities for a
large crowd. The seating: capacity of
the grandstand offers big induce
ments to the fans to enjoy a game at
email cost. The proceeds go to the
upkeep of the grounds and to cover
expenses of the team. No admission
is charged, except for the grandstand.
The game to-morrow starts at 3
o'clock.

I Starting through an assault upon an umpire, John McGraw has bumped
into further trouble that now jeopardizes the Giants' pennant outlook.
r Through another assault upon an umpire Babe Ruth has tossed the Red
hox under a heavy handicap—one that might easily cost the flag. As bad
I as some of the umpiring has been and as arrogan.t and Incompetent as
| some of the umpires have proven to be, nothing, of course, has justified
j the two assaults and the actions of other players upon the field.
THE CAUSE AND REMEDY
There Is only one safe sane way to handle the umpiring situation.
That is to make a steel-shod rule that no ball player or manager can
i speak to an umpire on the field and that n.o umpire, in turn, can speak to a
ball player.
j other phrases, make the umpire an automaton, just as if some ma
j chine was out there registering the balls and strikes and put outs.
• tb . e mnin reasons for poor umpiring is the abuse and nagging
w hich officials receive on the field, where their judgment is bound to be
j warped and upset.
If this abuse an.d nagging were stopped the umpiring would improve
i immediately and the official could see with far clearer vision.
IX OTHER GAMES
; u "V 56 'I a brought out a vital point a day or two ago, when he mentioned
I ut no ol,lcr sport tolerates the abuse and nagging of its officials.
Take the racing game. In a certain race thousands of dollars are
1 wag ered. At the finish the two leading horses are hardly an eyelash apart.
Many bettors are confident their horse has won. But when the verdict
iis gi\en by the judges no one thinks of questioning or assailing the decision.
It stands as part of the game.
An umpire should be treated in the same way. If he becomes incom
petent and the league president refuses to remove him. then the vote of a
majority of club owners or of six out of the eight should settle his case.
, Majority of the club owners are not going to vote to oust a competent
official. One or two or three clubs might go after his scalp for certain
Barnes, but if his work was along good average lines there would be no
question as to his fate.
AGGRESSIVENESS AND SI7CH
"V ou can put it down as pure bunk that abusing umpires constitutes ag
gressiveness. b
We have heard it stated more than once that if the players refused to
kick on close plays the game would look dead.
In other words if nine men and a crowd of 10.000 in the stands refuse

THE HELP
