There was a certain young man in
Simpletown who became possessed
-Of a very earnest longing to be in -
•eluded among them that are chosen
to "Ump", His parents assiduously
endeavoured to persuade him of the
unwisdom of 'adopting this calling; a
calling at once dissgreeable and dan-
gerous. But the youth, believing that
the •ivisdom.he had acquired by right
of conquest was greater than the cQm-
binecl -wisdom of his 'parents, paid
:heed neither to their persuasions nor
their warnings.
So he joined the Simpletown Base-
ball team and was ,rapidly made per-
fect as a player; even through suffer-
ing was he made perfect. Now, a
part of this suffering was on his own
head as well as on diverse other parts
of his systeni. But the sufferfn,g of
hisdevoted parents was confined to
the heart, which is a very susceRtible
organ and. they suffered sorely from
the intensfied beatings thereof
.Now, when the young man had be-
come perfect as a player he was elect-
ed an Umpire, and his prospective do -
:minion. seemed au ' eXceeding good

The story.l have related is an abso-
lutely true one, for the every circum-
stance and peradventure Of which I
solemnly vouch. The moral of ray'
story' lies in its application and its
application germain to our games in
Wingham. A few men have been
chosen to "ump" our games. Each
cirie of,...them is as anxious to decide
righteously as was the young man of
Simpletown. The integrity of each is
absolutely 'unassailable, yet we have
heard • these same men, all of them
ruthlessly maligned. For the sakeof
our games for the sake of our town

these we pray that sinister minded de-
tractors now operating, may see the
error of their ways and speak no more
•the Words that hurt. We are deter-
• mined to have clean sport in Wing -
ham, clean players, clean umpires and -
clean minded spectators We • un-
doubtedly have the two former and
we are going to take measures to -des-
troy the leavening germ of vile mind-
edness which has already infected the
onlookers. Niiff said. • • •• •
