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?

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.

Doubles Team Rated Among
Highest Are First to
Taste Defeat
BROOKLINE, Mass., Aug. 23
(AP) The two top-ranking teams
in the 48th national doubles ten
nis championship, that of Johnny
Van Ryn and Wllmer Allison, the
British and Davis cup champions'
and Henry W. "Bunay" Austin
and J. S. Olliff of England, met
with crushing defeats here today
in the quarter finals play on the
Longwood turf courts.
Both were overwhelmed in five
set matches, Berkeley Bell and
Lewis N. White, both of Austin,
Texas, defeating the Davis cup
stars, 6-4, 4.6, 6-4, 4-6, 8-6.
while W. C. 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.
As a result Bell and White will
clash with the mid-western
youths in tomorrow's semi-final
round.
In the other two quarter finals
matches, Gregory Mangin of New
ark, N. J., and Norman Farquhar
son, South African Davis cup
player, spotted Bill Tilden and
Frank Hunter the first two sets
before they rallied with a bang.
They then played the 1927 cham
pions off their feet to square the
match but let down the fifth set
when Farquharson lost his ser
vice, a break which gave the vet
erans the victory by scores of 6-1,
6-2. 3-6. 3-6, 7-5.
George M. Lott, Jr., of Chi
cago and John Doeg of Santa
Monica, Cal., gained the only
straight set win when they elim
inated Frank X. Shields of New
York and Donald Strachan, Phil
adelphia, by scores of 12-10, 6-2.
