Show i WAR HERO WOULD BE UMPIRE Hugh Miller, Former First Baseman, Prefers Diamond to a Career on a Newspaper. Hugh Miller, one of the heroes of the war, who will play no more ball because of his wounds, will not give up the game. He is going to land a job in some good minor league as an umpire and work his way up to the big show in that line. Miller has entirely recovered recov-ered his health and except for a slight limp is as good as ever, but a man can't count himself as an active player when he carries a few German Indicts around in bis body. At present Miller is employed on a St. Louis newspaper and making good as a chaser of the elusive news item, but the call of the game is strong with the former first baseman and he prefers the diamond to a career as a scribe. |
