For years one of baseball's uni-
versal beliefs—like three strikes
are cut—or putting mustard on
your hot dogs- has been that a
club entertaining hopes of figuring
in the money must have strength
"down the middle.”
Such being the case, it has be-
come increasingly amazing, now
that Lefty Grove’s wing is laid up
for repairs, how those Boston Red
Sox continue to hang right onto
the Yankees and Indians in the
American league pennant party.

WIJILLLAM B. CARPENTER,
V chief of the umpires' staff of
the International League! of
. Professional Baseball Clubs, hands
out some dope on umpires that we
think is worth repro hieing:
“Very few players, spectators
or other parties interested in base-
ball give any thought to the im-
portance of the umpire in a ball
game. Nothing can mar a good
ball game between two evenly
matched hall clubs more than in-
competent umpiring. As a nation
we are to blame for the brand of
umpiring we get, for we have not
given the encouragement and re-
spect necessary to umpires to up-
hold the dignity of their position,
with the result that in most ass
they have worked under an infer-
iority complex, which is anything
but helpful to good service. Each
and every one of us has held it an
inalienable right to disagree with
him, and have treated him with
jest and levity and in return have
asked and expected of him sinceri ty
and almost infallibility. As a na-
tion. also., we boast not too soft-
ly of our fairness, and yet at times
we are guilty of the most con-
temptible physical attacks up an

Workers, farmers, housewives and busi-
