For, despite de-spite warnings that they are wild animals and dangerous, visitors insist on feeding the bears. Accommodations for visitors In Yellowstone range all the way from luxurious hotels down through inex- pensive housekeeping cabins to the campgrounds which are scattered throughout the park. Hotel and lodge centers are situated at Mam moth Hot Springs, location of park headquarters; at Old Faithful, Can yon and Lake, while cabins are avail able at Camp Roosevelt, near Tower Tow-er Junction. There are highway en trances to the park from north, northeast, east, south and west.

The State of Texas made present of this 700,000-acre park to the people of the United States in 1944 so short a time ago that there has been little opportunity to provide it with the developments found in most of the older parks. While much of the park is semi desert, where the desert vegetation is staging a steady recovery of its nat ural condition after many years of heavy grazing, its heart is the for ested mass of the Chisos mountains, rising to elevations of more than 7.000 feet. Along the Rio Grande are tlree sheer - walled canyons, Mariscal, Boquillas and the Grand Canyon of Santa Helena, the deepest and most imposing of the three. An Improved road southward to the park from the town of Marathon is now under construction, and ulti mately it will be reached by a first- class road. Accommodations in the park, for 40 to 60 persons, are simple but good; and many visitors find a visit to the area an interesting ex perience, in spite of, or perhaps because be-cause of, the lack of development. merely scenery J nation,! park ls as wlde. ,'s its wildlife.

A S THE lid of a new baseball ea-son ea-son is pried off, it seems to be about time that Ford Frick, president presi-dent of the National league, and Will Harridge, president of the American league, did something about the umpire situation. We are referring to the matter of umpire baiting including profanity, invective and shouted insults from too many managers, and too many players, who use umpires as alibis for their own mistakes or dumbness. dumb-ness. We agree 100 per cent with Wilbur Wood, sportswriter, that such actions in the future should be suppressed sup-pressed under drastic dras-tic penalties. It has been said that umpire baiting has a big crowd ap peal and that it is now an accepted addition to the na tional game. We don't believe this is true. It may have its appeal to a few, Inclined to the mucker side, but not to the mass of spectators, who go out to get their thrills from a hard fought battle bat-tle on the field, not to hear a salvo of billingsgate directed at some man In blue. If this has become a tradi tion, then it is a tradition that should be ended. Fight and aggressiveness are a big part of the game, but they should be directed against the opposing op-posing team, not against an able arbiter, whose average of ability is too often well above the average aver-age of the ball player's skill. Umpires today are carefully se lected and well trained. Their record rec-ord for honesty In the last 40 years surpasses any other record in sport. Proud of Profession They have an amazing pride In their work, in calling each play as they see it. Pride In their profession profes-sion is something that not all managers man-agers and ball players have. Many have but too many do not. Otherwise, Other-wise, many more ball players would be in far better physical shape both before and during the baseball season. The managerial or player squawk is usually an alibi, either for lack of physical skill or a cover-up for missing brain cylinders. No smart fan ever falls for this corny hokum, this attempt to shift the blame. The umpire's decision is finah A dozen profane Babels can't change it. Right or wrong, it is the way he saw it. And the umpire is in the spot to see.it better than anyone else. He is certainly in a far better bet-ter spot than howling fans, 150 to 200 feet from the play, looking on at deceptive angles. A short while back, we asked several sev-eral National league umpires what managers and what teams gave them the least amount of trouble. The vote came for Billy South-worth, South-worth, formerly of the Cardinals now directing the Braves, and Eddie Ed-die Dyer of the Cardinals. Cardinals Don't Argue Neither Southworth nor Dyer will stand for any such rowdy tactics. And what team has been the most aggressive outfit in baseball for the last 10 years? You know the answer. an-swer. The Cardinals: But they take out their aggressiveness in hustle hus-tle and scrappiness on the field. Their opponents are the other teams not the umpires. No umpire ever heard Walter Johnson make any sort of kick. "In a sudden lapse, I called a pitch that almost split the plate a ball against Walter Johnson," Billy Evans told me. "Johnson never even frowned. I apologized later for my mistake. 'Yes, I knew it was a strike,' Johnson said, 'but we an make mistakes.' " I was sitting on the bench with Ted Williams. He went to bat witn tun nn And took a third strike. No sauawk. "Was that a eood oner l asuea him. Yes." Ted said. "It cut the out- siHo corner bv an men. u iooiea me. It was a swell pitch." That's the way baseball should be The great majority of the big names in the game are that way. lhey don't have to throw their alibis at the umpire. Cy Young, Mathewson, Alexander. Johnson four of the test of all Ditchers, never had O ' any umpire trouble. If ball players want to show their aggressiveness, why not score from first on a sinele to center to win a world series, as Country Slaughter Slaugh-ter did? Or run bases as the Cardinals Cardi-nals run bases? "-v i f u--r'--1 -y' jftc- S v .-fr - .v.v.-) - J ' r ,v s t f J - - i i , i i ' 'A V if- (:.- v. .v.-.1 mm ate-.

PRINCESS WITHOUT SHOES Perhaps never again in history of the British royal family will a photographer have a chance to snap Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth standing in her stockinged feet.

Rare in Other Games What fun can a crowd get from seeing a swarm of players surround some umpire, holding up the game, howling about a decision that won't and can't be changed? They don't see anything like this happen in foot ball, an even more rugged competi- t tive sport They rarely see it in any other game. Umpire baiting Isn't aggressiveness. aggressive-ness. Too often it is cowardice, and this also goes for the stands, where the odds are only 30,000 to 1. The umpire can take care of himself. him-self. Being human, he will make his share of mistakes on split-second or split-inch decisions. - !
