(ff) Old Jeff Pfeffer's days as a big league ball player are ended, but some day he may be back up there showing the boys how ball games should be run Old Jeff, now In his second year as an American association umpire, Is keeping players, managers and sports scribes in line nicely and they even write pieces about how good he Is. One Louisville expert, after view ing Jeff's work in a game which the locals lost, came right out and stated that Jeff was the best In the league. Pfeffer, a giant in stature, has been around the association several years and put in several seasons tossing for Toledo. When his fast one be came slow and his curves didn't curve enough, he got the umpiring Job. They write that Jeff Just naturally knows how to umpire, but the opin ion prevails that his huge size Is no handicap in making combatants like his decisions. One of the best sights of the lea gue la Old Jeff ludicrously trying to squeeze his six-foot six-Inch frame In behind the catcher to get some sem blance of protection from foul tips and also to get a good squint at the plate.

Although the question of Immedi ate payment of the soldiers' bonus and the attitude of the Legion to ward eviction of the bonus marchers from Washington stand out as a ma jor Issue, Henry L. Stevens, Jr., na tional commander, sees care of dis abled veterans overshadowing other subjects. The convention delegates doubtless will be called upon to take a stand for or against Immediate payment of the bonus, but the national com mander and other officers say that first interest will be accorded the Le gion's legislative activities in behalf of the disabled veterans.
