' V Bilk was a bundle of nerves. From the start of a game until the finish he was on edge Baseball was a seriose with him. During a proposition gam? be never relaxed a moment. He talked, baseball incestantly. In tbe evening he would insist on discussing the bap- penxngs of the afternoon and would an , tieipate the possibilities of the morrow. He was alwavs unqer a strsin. I would often aay to him: ell. Frank, let us ' forget about the athletes and take ia the movies. That usually got a laugh out of him, and caused a switch ia tne conversation, because Silk didnt view the movies with much favor during ball season, first because it was usually too bot indoors, and, secondly because he thought the movies m no way helped , ones vision. Bmce the eyes are aa mam asset, Bilk took tbe beet umpires of care of tbtm. If there ever was an umpire wh. gave the plavs as he saw them. Bilk OLoughhu was that individual. He had a heart of oak, a keen intellect- -' and the courage to do what be beltevea-- r was right, regardless of ths opinion e others. Truly, bilk had the courage of his eon vict ions, if ever a man did, Through sixteen years of service at a member of the American league staff of umpires, he gave the best he had. Ha never shirked. When aa Important series was staged Silk was invariably one of the officials selected. He never grumbled over an assignment, always, accepting them as tney came, as a pare of tbe game.

As a consequence of the military authori ties taking over the physual develop ment of millions of men during the war and tbs tremebdous boost received by all branches of athletic competition, it was proposed months ago that the next British cabinet contain a minister of sport, and that his function become a permanent feature of the government. It was not a wild dream of enthusiasts, but was seriously considered by many prominent men who were concerned with the health and morals of the British people. The minister of sport bas not yet been appointed, and it is cot probable that there will be such an official for a long time, butxwbat may be construed as a step in that direction was taken when the military authorities appointed recently the army sports control board, with headquarters, at tbe war office, for the furtherance of sport on sound line. In tbe British army Among the defined objects of the neW board are the assistance of orgamza tions for sport in the various commands, and the maintenance of the nec in sport between y the army and the other forces of the crown, both at borne and overseas. This undoubtedly mean that the authorities. military and naval, of Great Britain and the colonies, will elaborate championship competitions on a scale never known before that will bring to gather men from nil corners of the empire on which the gun never sett. ..-ar- of Baseball Now Wonder Curveless T)olnf His Bit for the Y.

The pathway of aa umpire has i6. er been known to be paved'. wtA roses, but Bilk perhaps has seen more of that strenuous side of the life, than most of the men officiating in the mapir leagues. When he broke in' tbe tingle umpire 4vatera was in vogn. One man tried to do it all, and it waa a difficult job. Like all umpires, bilk has had his ups and downs lie has been criticised and praised, threatened and cajoled. Club owners have threatened his job,', players his scalp. But each spring' found Bilk on the job, alwavs looking fit, for be took, the very best care of himself. No more methodical fellow ever lived. He did everything on schedule. Things had to be just so. Foe years I have been his partner on the . field, his pal and roomie off field, and I have alwava marveled at his clean cut, unusual manner of living. For fourteen years L have been aa- aociated with bilk OLoughhn in tbe-s- t range calling of an umpire. I have been selected as his partner in four-worlseries. I have worked m manr1 important games with him, when muck-depended on one s judgment. I bav been with him tn many a situation when a feller needs a friend, and I have never found him wanting tbi , Likeable Fellow Off Field. To have appreciated him aa a man, one had to know him off tbe bait field. l. On the diamond he waa a pepper pot.' alwavs bubbling over with energy ami enthusiasm Otf tbe field he waa l.k cable fellow, just the opposite t of the picture you would draw from , iour observation from a seat in tbe grandstand. I know bilk didn't surrender to influenza without givtrjr it a battle. It wool! have been unlike bint not to fight it out to the last wasHe enjoved clean, anil life, he lited a life that I know he didnt give up without au argukind of the stronget making ment against the first and final to go contrarv to his wishes. Like all of us. bilk had his faults, for, after all, he was only human; vet Ins hundred of good traits so far out balance! any of hi shortcomings that one must class bilk as a man among men . pasicg T suffer the loss of a real friend, a pal worth while.
