Feen-a-mint The Alaakaa Fla• Alaska has recently adopted an official tlag. It has a blue field, bordered on three sides with a nurrow band of gold. In the upper right-hand corner appears Polaris and below It the constellatlon Ursa Major, with Its two "pointers" indicating the North star. The field of blue Is held to symbolize the evening sky, the sen, mountain lakes and the wild 1lo-wers of Alaska; and the gold border, the w~:alth In Alaskan bills and streams. Polaris is the ever-constant guide of the e~plorer, woodsman, prospector and surveyor. And Alas· kans hope that the northernmost star may some day take Its place as the forty-ninth In our national, emblem.

For the last three years tiergherm bas won three letters each year as a member of the football, basketball and tennis team. Ordinarily an athlete confines his actlvltlf!ll to two sport• only, but Bergherm's .versa· Ultty enabled him to star In three. Last 'fall he starred on the football team, finishing the season as high scorer In the Big Ten and being selected by most experts aa the All-Conference fullback. Following the grid season he took up basket· ball and was regular forward on the Wildcat squad all season. Coach Arthur Nethercot ot the tennla team Is depending on the blg fellow to carq most of the work this spring, as his size and speed make him one ot the most valuable men on the squad. Although It's a far call from playing fullback on the football team to wielding a tennis racket, Bergherm seems to be capable ot performing the task. Bert Riel, who also played on both the football and basketball teams, Is another star on the tennis team thla aprlng. Riel wus substitute quarterback on the grid eleven and played regular guard on the cage aquad. Besides these two men Coach Nethercot will have three substitutes from last year's squad In John CUrttaa, Gll Sheldon and Cltlr Nelson. In addition aeveral aophomores are also making a strong bid tor RuH Bergherm. a prace. They are Bruce Brayton, Joe Euans and Bill Fuller. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• YOUNG MR. SUHR FITS FIRST BASE Fielding and Hitting Seems Entirely Satisfactory. Lou Criger, famous catcher years ago, Is now confined to a hospital in • Tu<:son, Ariz. This young Mr. Suhr, the first basIng gentleman of the Pittsburgh PIrates, really looks as though he fits the big league picture. Of course, lt is early to predict anything accurately about a newcomer In the majors. But the boys have been giving the Pittsburgh giant a pretty thorough going over and he's still way ahead of most of them. His fielding seems to be entirely satisfactory and he appears to have plenty ot baseball sense on the field. It is hls hitting, ot course, that is retttng the closest scrutiny. Suhr atands about the center of the batter's box-hitting lett-handedwith hls feet well spread and his body and bat poised. So far he has hit to all fields and does not concentrate on one kind of ball. Charlie Root recently had him swinging on fast ones Inside and lt began to look as though that was his weakness. But when Fred Blake and the other boys tried that they found the hitter letting them pass with such good etrect that It netted him a total of five bases on balls In six trips to the plate. The other time he struck out on a wide curve ball. Pietro Llnarl, Italian six-day bicycle racer, Is 6 feet 2 Inches tall and weighs 220 pounds. That sixty miles an hour will be made this season with several of the models of outboard motors Is the prediction of leading boating funs. Fifty mtles an hour was predicted tor last season and the guess missed fire by only a traction of a mlle. It Is commonly reported that speeds In excess of a mile a .,.minute have been attained by three dttrerent motor manufacturers in secret tryouts. A Chicago banker has declared he would rather pay more tor the same work to a man who plays golf. This advances golf a step still higher In rating as a duty even more than as a pleasure.

In a game recently against the Yanks Bob Grove was yanked and replaced by Glenn Ltebhardt, Jr., the son of Glenn, Sr., who pitched major league baseball years ago. Glenn, Jr., hadn't pitched In the big show before, but managed to turn the New Yorkers back. "I saw his father pitch many a time and he had lots of courage," said Mack. "I knew that Glenn's boy could be no worse than his father." Llebhardt Is a cousin of Dutch Henry, now wtth the White Sox.

That was a favorite expression of the late Tim Hurst, when an umpire, after an unusually tough day, would express his disgust with his job. Hurst was a plctureque character: the game probably wlll never. know another just llke him. He had a keen sense ot humor, withering sarcasm that be used to advantage on 'the protesting players, and the courage of a spartan. Tact and diplomacy are au~ poaed · to be most necessary asiets ot. an umpire. Tim didn't think much of either, unlesa gifted repartee, In which be seldom came out aecond best, might be so construed. Perhaps no person connected with baseball playa a more Important part in what may be termed the "artlltlc.. success of a ball game than the umpire, ret he ls merely regarded In the light of a necessary evll. Only when he falls to show up tor a ball game Is bls worth appreciated. Aside from being a necessary evil the umpire is baseball's greatest allbt, either from the viewpoint of pluyer or fun. It a player gets the worst of a close de· cislon, It he Is called out on a perfect third strike. he can attempt to shift the responsibility by protesting the umpire's decision. And what a relief It Is to some fans after a defeat to recall how dltrerently things would have been had the umpire called the ball hit down the third base line fair Instead of foul. Fandom was a unit In regarding It as fair, but the umpire thought otherwise. The two runs that should have scored on that hit would have won the ball game. I have said the umpire Is a most Important asset from an artistic standpoint; howe,·er, only a limited few umpires hnve had anything to do with the financial end of the game.

The tans care not who umpires just so long as he does a good job of lt. It he Is satisfactory he draws silence, never applause. It ls only when fandom disagrees with him that he receives any vocal consideration at all. Much has been written about the competency and Incompetency of the umpires, probably the last has been more widely heralded. Don't get me wrong, for I feel that the fans do like to see a game well handled by the umpires. However, I have always believed If there came a time when every decision of the umpire were considered correct, and the games always perfectly umpired, that baseball would Immediately lose one of its strongest selling points. For It Is really surprising the pleasure a lot of people get out of believing that had the umpire not repeatedly erred In his rulIngs, the home team would have been victorious. The umpire la a favorite allbt and always wm be. On this point the atatus of the umpire has been much Improved In the last fifteen years. . The attitude taken by the newspaper writers, who cover the ball games, has tended to make the work much easier. In the old daya the alibi was mu<'h favored to explainIng defeats through the press, and the umpire wasn't overlooked as a target. Today It Is much dltrerent.
