Sport Graphs Billy Bulen Say: Bush League Umps Major Problem of Baseball Outfit Arnold Bsuman. skipper of the Hilt ball club In the Northern California league, was In Medford ths other day walling that ancient and per fectly Justified cry of all bush league managers, to-wlt, the extreme lousi ness, on more than one occasion, of umpires In the sticks. Bsumsn, who wheeled his portslde delivery over time plat for Medford two years sgo and last season as sisted John Mtljus with his kid Kim here, claims that his oellarlte Hilt team not only was robbed last Sun day In Its battle with Mt. Shasta, but waa bamboozled aa weU. The husky hurler stated that no matter where Hilt pitchers heaved the apple, the opposing "Blind Tom" signified the pitch a ball. And, that no matter where the Mt. Shasta thrower de livered the ball, the umps called It i strike. It was horrible, ;.uman said In effect, although he spouted stronger adjectives than can be printed, and he would like to see somthlng done about It. Sadly enough, Arnold la sot alone In that wish.

And, eren aadder la the fact that nothing can be done about It, and probably never will. Umpiring la undoubtedly the most unpleasant phase of several unpleas ant phase of baseball of the bush rarlety. Lousy fields la another. But poor calling of balls and strikes and bad officiating on the bases tops them all as detrimentals. And, If there la any remedy for the situation, we have not heard of It, nor has anybody else. All bush leagues are reather loosely organised, with the teams barely struggling along to make both ends meet, financially. Because of that, clubs and leagues can't go out and hire efficient umpire because they can't afford It. They do the only thing possible, and that la for each team to furnish one umpire, usually the home club producing the u mp tra in -ch iff. or plate official. And there lies the dynamite. Occasionally, through no fault or Intention of their own. a team will assign an umpire that apparently doesn't know the difference between a stolen base and an Infield fly. The umps calls a couple of bad ones, the other official tries to overrule the decision, and a good riot Is thereby underway. It has happened several times In the Southern Oregon league In years past, but to date teams In this cir cuit have been fairly fortunate In selecting arbiters who know what It's all about, or at least are honest. Of course there have been bad decisions they all make them but when an umpire la In there calling them the way he sees them that's all you can ask for. Austin Frazler and John Smith of Medford, Black of Ashland, and Tu hey Rlggs of Q rants Pass are excep tionally fine officials, and have thus far escaped the wrath of players and fans as much as any umpire can. Most of the others are efficient, also. On the question ot honesty In bush league umpires, there la nothing much that can be said. We have witnessed games that we would have bet our last dollar were being de liberately handed to one team by a cheating official. Such occurrences are few, to be sure, and never proved. The other day, for Instance, an east ern Oregon team protested a game on the grounds that one umpire was drunk. He probably was, but after several days of wrangling and squab bling and appeals to the league presi dent and arbiter, the battle was al lowed to stand as played. And, that was all that could be done about that. It'a tough on players of both teams lousy umpiring but until some body comes along with a bright idea to remedy the business at no more expense, the $2 or $2.50 the officials are getting paid for their duties now, la bound to keep on.

Some of the members of congress, by the way. who have complained most about tbelr diet of predlgeated legislation, admit that It's the meth od of serving rather than the dish It- celft that they object to.

Two old, familiar ghosts were pres ent, but not noted, at the president's recent press conference when he talked for twenty minutes on the subject of raising the purchasing power of low income groups. One was the "forgotten man," who is to receive more attention In future "fire -side" chat. He has got a .Ittle out of touch with Washington since the court fight became such a distracting Issue. The other Is a matter about which another forgotten man, former Gov ernor Landon. chlded the president for neglecting conservation of na tional resources (national planning.) Some of the states (Including Ver mont) are running 'way ahead of the federal government in long-time planning especially in regard to land use. The president's Informal re marks were taken to be a prologue for more on that subject, with emphasis ;in human resources, perhaps, likewise over the air. THE big air liners haven't been doing so welt lately, frightful ac cident having followed frightful ac cident for months on end. A New York physician claims to have diag nosed the cause of the accidents. They are due, he says, to an "air neurosis" resulting from a deficiency of oxygen In flying either for a shore time at high altitudes or tor long periods of time at moderate alti tudes. The remedy, he asserts. Is to pro vide a special supply of oxygen for tha pilot. Simple, Isn't It? (Simple, that is. If It would work.) MKJEUROSTS" is a fancy, double ll breasted word affected by doc tore. It means a disorder of the nerves. When a pilot files too long at high altltudea, this New Tork physician asserts, he gets Into a "what the hell" attitude (the term Is the doctor's own) In which It seems to him that nothing matters much. As a result, he Is unable to read his Instruments, keep his sense of balance or co-ordinate his mus cles. When this happens, an accident la pretty certain to follow. It would be interesting Indeed It the way to stop these terrible air crashes turned out to be nothing more complicated than putting an oxygen tank in the pilot's compartment.

Plana for week-end vacations re ceived a set-back today aa weather officials forecast a continuation of the two-weeks long rain. Little hope was held for clearing weather within the nrxt few days. June rainfall stood at 1.47 Inches this morning, an excess of I Inch above normal. Although the amount of ra'.nfall la not unusual for this month, the storm ts of much lor.gw than normal duration, weather bur eau records show. R. O. Fowler, county agent, re ported that about a third of the valley hay and grain crop has been damaged by the rain. Orchards and other farm crops benefit by ;Jie dampness, he added, pointing out that it Is good "growing weather." Seasonal deficiency has dropped to .91 of an Inch. Indicate each acre of good orchard represents an Investment of 1200 or more, excluding land coat, by the time the orchard bears properly. Comment on the Dan s News By FRANK JENKINS AMELIA EARHART flew over the Atlantic the other day, and prac tlcally nobody paid any attention to It. That's Interesting, when you stop to think ot It, and algnltlcant as well. When Lindbergh flew the Atlantic, only a little more than ten yeara ago, It was the biggest news event In the world. AB LONG aa the automobile re mained a curiosity that drew crowds wherever It appeared, it was nothing much but a curiosity. When a trip of 100 miles without a break down was good fr a story on almost any front page, the automobile was only a rich man's toy. It was only when automobiles became so com mon snd so RELIABLE that their performance was no longer news that they really became a big factor In transportstlon. It will be much the ssme with air planes. That ts why Amelia Earherta practically unnoticed flight over the Atlantic la significant.
