Baseball la Mora Spectacular

the custom of the United Ktnten of

Tb Imnehull clothing Is not as pretty

la place of a bull baseball baa an
Umpire, a man wbo does not play the
game, but who Is authority of the
fame. Unlike the Judge of the bull
Agbt, be stands on the field. He la
ftot goaded with pikes, banderillas and
sally the sword, as la the bull, but la
tfca recipient of abwe from both play
wt and the multitude seated In the
hW arena. Instead of "another bull,"
Hi crowds when displeased yell "Get
book r The umpire la also called
"robber" and a "bl fathead."
' The people at a baseball game con
tinually are eating or chewing gum or
rooking. But these occupations of the
tout do not prevent a perpetual yell
ing. It la difficult for one knowing lit
V English to understand the things
cried at the players or the umpire. Dut
2 assume from the manner of expres
sion that words common to the lower
classes are used.
On a large board at the back of tbe
field la enumerated the number of
times that each troupe drops the ball
Tbe troupe dropping the bull the few
est times wins the game. Unlike the
trail fight. It Is difficult to predict which
will win. In that respect the American
game of baseball Is typical of all
things American It Is more spectacu
lar than scientific. I think If I under
tood EngllHh perfectly and hnd played
baseball all my life nnd hnd not been
born a Mexican I should like to see a
baseball game every year on my birth
day annlvT8ury.
' The Unknown Fila.
A matronly woman went Into a Knn
taa City employment aeenrv and in-
ounced her Intention of taking up
ome well-paying war work. Her chil
dren had all entered some new field
ren her "baby" of seventeen was do
ing well In a downtown office.
The woman answered all the pre
liminary questions satisfactorily. Then
tbe director asked, "Can you operate
m typewriter!"
The answer was "No," and the di
rector proceeded to the next question.
.Have you had any experience in nl
lngr There was a moment of silence;
then the woman burst out. "Land, no,
child. I don't know a thing In the
world about machinery."
And Imagine the amazement of an
other Knnsus City director who, on In
flulrlng into this same filing ability,
was met first wltk a hurt silence from
the candldute, nnd then with a digni
fied, "I have had no experience what
ever In manicuring,"

An Ingenious Improvement has re
cently been made to the alreudy fa
miliar shrapnel helmet In use "over

yes and the upper part of the face
from splinters of wood, stone, sand
and nu-tul thrown up by exploding
hells.
Tbe new device is merely an adapta
tion of the chuln doors which have
been Introduced Into metal, chemical
and glass works In recent years to pro
tect the workers from the heat of tbe
