"Umpiring is wonderful profession, declared Powejl yesterday in between puffs of favorite cigar at hia comfortable Lynwood home, where he is pre- King for hia 25th Pacific Coast gue season. "And' if had it to do an over again I'd do the same thing play and umpire baseball," continued Powell, who wee born in Peoria, HL, in 1886. Last year Powell launched new career when he became- supervisor of umpires for tho FCL, but this didn't mean that he was putting hia blue suit in mothballs. During a aeries at Wrigley Field, Illness forced Powell to plnch-hlt for one of hie arbiters and Jack showed that he hadat lost his touch by ordering tho entire Angel bench cleared one evening; "That's the trick of being a good umpire.

Youve got to snow em. who's boss," ho explained, adding: "An ump has got to have a lot of courage. He must fear no one. And above ail he must call em as he sees em regardless of where the. game la being played." r- This brought back memories of tho day in 1920 when Powell gave up playing baseball and launched hia- umpiring career, which took explained.

Among Powell's moot cherished possessions are two autographed baseballs presented to him by a kids team in' Lynwood, and a--Hsu of Fame scroll awarded to him by Helms Hall Board. In fact the Lynwood citizens. Including all the kids from nine to 99, are so fond of Powell that they named their diamond Powell -Field in hia honor. "I wouldn't trade anything for those baseballs knd the trophy Jthe'kld gave me," declared Powdll, adding that the future of baseball depended ea tho do- velopment of the game among these youngsters. The scroll speaks for itself, being the only ona ever swarded an umpire, And- now Jack is ready for tho -1953 campaign.
