BOYD PARK BLDG Entirely ' too many f ana have an Idea that umpires stick to their bad decisions out of sheer bullheaded-ness- . Those fans are almost invariably wrong. Every umpire time and jagaip in the season, understands in a flash, after he has decided one way, that he should have decided another, but if he reversed himself, thus encouraging kicks, protests and delays, he would lose his job, in short order, writes Tom Rice in the Brooklyn " Eagle. S3 ENGRAVED the rule against umpires reversing themselves on. decisions of fact is almost as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, but the rule is absolutely necessary if any ball game Is to be finished in less time than is required for one of those : three-da- y cricket matches. were . If umpires to heed arguments, proofs and figures and reverse themselves, they would do nothing but hold court, and few ball games would go more than-on- e Inning, as enough disdecisions would ordinarily arise puted In the first round to keep the ump engaged all the rest of the afternoon. Long and painful experience has taught the powers that be In baseball that It is better to lay it down as a definite principle that an umpire shall stick by his decision, even when he realizes on second thought that be was wrong, than It Is to encourage the players in' the belief that if they talk long and loudly enough they can persuade him to reverse himself. While cases occasionally arise In which an umpire would be justified In reversing himself, such a reversal, based upon new evidence, so to speak, would lead to interminable arguments and proffers- of new evidence' ' upon all close plays. if II A By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN. ALL of the Wild! This is the time o year when it sounds over all the land, creating in every normal breast a pang unmistakable and poignant. It is the awakening of an instinct as old as the race the desire for the open road. It is old Mother Nature heiself calling, and she says: Play time, everybody! All work and no play Is folly ; yon know the modern times is penalty I exact. Life in these too strenuous. Stop, get your breath, relax, restl tome and play awhile I We Americans are the busiest people under the sun. There was a time when we played hardnely at all. Now we have finally learned the trouble The recreation. and relaxation of cessity Is that we have learned to play not wisely but Our avocations, especially in the too welL large cities, are as strenuous as our vocations sometimes even more strenuous, There should be nothing so much a mans business as his amusements, wrote Stevenson, and he wrote a great truth, which has not yet 'come home to us. So it is that we Americans, many of us, are coming to have double need of a summer vacation to rest up from both our ' work and our pleasures. The Call of the Wild means, in a sense, pretty much the same thing to 'all of us. But necessarily we can interpret it only according to our knowledge and experience. Fortunate Indeed are they to whom the call means but one thing whether gypsying by automobile, or the flying spray of the salt sea, or the rushing stream whose deep dark pools hide the great trouts, or the tenl and campfire beside the placid lake, or th mountain trail to the peaks where lies the everlasting snow. These fortunate, hear, understand and obey. Those of us who are less fortunate also hear and rejoice. But the call has no clear message. We do not know what to do with our play time. We do not know where or at what to play, and the interesting spectacle of a great people at play is saddened by the sight of thousands of unfortunates wasting their precious vacation days getting little enjoyment and less rest , Come, let us plan vacation days While yet the seasons new! The secret of the trip that pays Is knowing what to do. Thats the motto of the wise. They are not among these unfortunates. They have planned their vacation carefully and put common sense into their plans. They have taken stock of their physical and mental needs. They have profited by the perience of past vacations and their successes and failures. They understand that a vacation for pleasure and a vacation for recuperation are not necessarily the same thing, but they will try to combine pleasure and recuperation, r 'Change is a great factor in both pleasure and rest. When play time comes around most of us Instinctively long for something that our daily life does not offer. Often this longing is a safe guide, provided common sense is used. Obviously a camping trip in the wilds Is not suited to those who must have soft' beds, delicate viands and deft service even if they are lovers of nature, longing for a novel experience. It is equally obvious that these nature lovers would be out ef place in a fashionable summer resort where people congregate to see and be seen. The common sense of It is that they should go where jBcenic beauty can be enjoyed and the conven-tioncomforts of life are not lacking. When vacation time means to the- - weary worker an opportunity to recuperate from toil, rest Is what he needs. The best rest is absolute inI loaft; and invite my soul, wrote Walt action. Whitman. But loafing Is a fine art ; most of us are too used to be up and doing to enjoy sitting and twiddling our thumbs. A change of scene and occupation, with the blessed consciousness that we do not have to do anything, Is the best rest The hodcarrier who came into money had the psychology of It down fine when he set his alarm clock as usual, threw his shoe at it when It went off and turned over, for a nap.' The wise man will take his vacation temperately. To return to rest up from his play that is a poor proposition. - To come back to work with renewed strength and energy thats the thing. The wrong kind of vacation may be worse than none. The right kind of vacation may be a veritable godsend. The wise man will so order his play as to come back refreshed and restored and eager for new worlds to conquer. And wherever the Call of the Wild takes us, i 'Diamond Squibs let us be "good sports which is to say, let u be sportsmen and live up to a sportsmans ideals! And what is a sportsman? It is easy to say this: The sportsman is the gentleman of the But that does not comprehensively define the sportsman, because it is still more difficult to define the gentleman. Anyway, whatever else he may be, the sportsman is the man who plays fair with nature, with wild animal life, with his companions, with himself. He never wantonly defaces the fair face of nature. He never pollutes stream or lake. He never cuts down a tree that he does not need. He buries or burns his camp rubbish. He cleans up his camping place. And he is very sure that he sets no forest fire. The sportsman plays fair with wild animal life. He will not hunt out of season. He will not kill a female deer or elk. He will not shoot a bird except when flying. In angling he uses light tackle to give the fish a fair chanpe. He will use the fly rather than the worm for trout He will put back the small trout and handle it with a wet hand. He will use the single hook rather than the gang hooks. He never takes from forest field,' lake and stream more than he can use. And always he obeys the local game laws. : The sportsman is a delight in camp and on the trail. He takes pride in keeping up his end, in and willingly doing bis full share efficiently, cheerfully. In emergencies he is a volunteer. He helps the tenderfoot Poor luck cannot ruffle his' temper or spoil his outing. He gets fun out of trouble and can take a joke on himself. He is a good loser; he grins and bears it when defeat is his. He is a good winner which Is harder and wears his laurels modestly. And the sportsman plays fair with himself, which Is perhaps the hardest thing of all. He is not too proud to learn from his betters. If he catches fish "with, a silver spoon,, he owns up to it. He does not blame his own mistakes on others or on his tackle, f He does not exhibit his musky trophy and tell of his skill while all the You know perwhile his inner self Is saying: fectly well the guide rigged your rod and tackle, paddled you to the place, showed you the exact spot to cast, told you how to handle the fish In short, possibly the netted it and landed It. crowning ideal ' of true sportsmanship is independent achievement in sport or woodcraft.1 ' ,!

Kendall, puts it I have felt exhilaration In the auto's lightning rush. -- Evading limitations and the law. I have felt my pulses quicken when I ailed a flush, Having raised the ante just before the draw.

With muscles tense and ready I firmly grasp my pole, I forget the rocking boat In which I a tend, I forget my wifes relations, the salvation of my soul. My debts, my duties and my native land. Cold chills of apprehension go up and down my spine: And I wonder at my folly in selecting such a line. Tis the limit of the pleasures I have traveled miles .. Ly to feel!
