Oregon, Thursday Morning, Acggst 23, 1929 PAGE SEVEN i -I 4 i t 1 f A r4 Purl Comments By CURTIS Something's the matter, this 1929 baseball season, with the umpires, or else something's the matter with the fans. There hare been more fights and near riots over umpires' decisions than you could shake a flatfovt's sap at. There wa cwc at Bend last Sunday. A poor Blind Tom named Myers made two deci sions against the Bend team, and the crowd with one simul taneous accord started in his general direction. Two police men finally cleared the. field, and the newspaper's failed to nay that Myers was actually mistreated. It took four nmpires to get that Came finished. Well, it's only a little more than a year since a visiting um pire had to listen to some pret ty rough talk as he walked from the ball park to his automobile- right here in Salem, the city of peace. Now tennis is a different game. Here's the gist of a resolution passed by the United States Lawn Tennis association at its last meeting: "Whereas the morale and con sequently the efficiency of um pires and linesmen is threatened by the practice of "throwing points," .... Kesolved, that the national association disapproves the practice of "throwing points" nd recommends that players ac cept all decisions of fact without demur, when in their favor, as gracefully as it has always been their custom to do when adverse." Just bnagine a pitcher throwing a wide one because he'd been given a little the best of it on the previous pitch; or the batsman swinging at a wide one because the last one should have been railed a strike. May be the pitchers will even walk a batsman if the last one was called out on a doubtful strike. But supposing it was a bad de. cision at the plate, and the team at bat was robberfTof a run. 1 an't you imagine the opposing team scheming around to let a run in to make up for it? The fact is that baseball is the 'crabbiest" of organized sports. For one thing, it's adapted to it because every move is definite; then again, it's a democratic 6port. All sorts of people play it. But the principal reason is that it's an individualistic game, in spite of all that has been writ ten and said about teamwork. Or can it be that baseball is so full of crabbing because it's the great American pastime, and Americans are like that? E E Mr. and Mrs. Florian Von Es chea left Salem Wednesday after noon for their home in Modesto. Calif., after sDendine the oast month here, in Portland and at Newport, von Eschen is a form er Willamette University science faculty member and Mrs. Von Es cheu taught for four years in Sa lem high school prior to leaving for Modesto a year ago, and be fore that time he taught in the grade schools. Professor Von Eschen goes back to California with an ambi tion of 20 years' standing realii ed; while at Newport he foond a starfish with 21 points. Just three points less than the highest number found. He also found three samples of 'ancient life no longer in existence in fossil shells found on the nroth cliff seven or eight miles from Newport. The starfish was found on a 14-mile drive along the coast. He is ship ping the fossils to Modesto. The college at Modesto has re cently, through the board, Toted $1,000 to supply cases to house Von Eschen's private collection of more than 1000 shell specimens from all parts of the world. He will spend the firs tweek upon his return to Modesto in arranging his collection In the cases, and on September 9 will be back at work in the classroom. Mrs. Von Es chen plans to leave almost imme diately for a two-month visit with her mother Jjn northern Illinois. Mrs. VonEschen has Just had an article accepted by Social Science magazine and this is to appear this fall.

IT E Negotiations with a view to scheduling a football game be tween Willamette university and College of Puget Sound, of Taco- ma, were started this week by E. D. Perwitz. new physical director and coach at the Tacoma institu tion. Perwitz suggested October 5, a date which Coach Spec Keene of Willamette considers too soon af ter the Oregon State game, which will undoubtedly be a tough one for the Bearcat team. It would be to Willamette's ad vantage to play College of Puget Sound, which probably will not be as strong this year as last because of the change in coaching systems, but it is probable that no date will ba agreed upon. At the conference meeting last winter, Willamette offered Puget Sound several dates, none of which proved acceptable to Cac Hub bard, who was then in charge of athletics at the Washington Meth odist college. The most likely re sult is that Willamette and Puget Sound will not meet on the grid iron this year. D. S. C. TO E PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 25. (AP) A broken oar forced C. A. Mockmore, professor of engineer ing at Oregon State college, to anchor his row boat at Milwau kie Tuesday night, he told mem bers of the harbor patrol today after they had spent most of the morning and part 'of the afternoon searching for him. Mockmore left Oregon City Tuesday night for his summer home at Sell wood in a small boat When he failed to appear on sched ule friends became frantic and suggested that he might have tall- en into the river.

(AP) Captain Ira Eaker, pilot of the trans-continental refueling plane "Shuttle," was forced down near the municipal airport shortly before midnight by an accident to his plane caused in an attempt to transfer oil to him for the night's flight. MITCHELL FIELD. N. Y.. Aug. 28 (AP) Zooming over Mitch ell Field at 4:12 p. m., eastern standard time. Captain Ira C. Eaker and Lieutenant Bernard S. Thompson completed the first half of a round trip non-stop refuel ing flight between Oakland, Cal., and New York today. The fliers plan to make several transcontinental round trips. After dropping a sack of mall the "Shuttle" plane hovered over the airport for a few minutes to take mail and then disappeared westward to retrace Its way to Cleveland and the Pacific coast. Having taken on fuel at Cleve land earlier in the afternoon, Captain Eaker did not request more oil and gas here. It was es timated the "Shuttle" had enough fuel to return to Cleveland tonight before another refueling opera tion. Such was the substance of the talk of Supt. George Hug before his fellow Rotarians Wednesday noon. Mr. Hug has Just returned from taking a course in public school health in the University of Michigan. He spoke In high praise of that instltutton, particularly of its professors, who he said were quite democratic. "They like to play and to mix with folk and that makes human beings out of them," was his comment. Mr. Hug also described Rotary clubs he visited Ann Arbor and Hamtramack, the latter a city practically a part of Detroit, peo pled very largely by Polish. The club there has done a fine service in community work. CapU WJfliama of the Salvation Army presented the cause of that organization to the Rotary club, In its drive for support. LOS ANGELES, Aug.

Coen, Jr., of Kansas City, and his equally youthful partner, Harris Coggeshall of Des Moines, Iowa, defeated the Brit ish players, 6-4, 2-6, 1-6, 16-14, 6-2.
