"Look who you have doing the job now, a bunch of old men in their 50s, many of them fat and out of shape. "Yu don't have to be an athlete to be an umpire. All you need is to know baseball, have good eyesight and good judgment. There are a lot of women who can fill that bill. "I'm certain we will some day have women umpiring in the majors -- maybe sooner than you think." It may be Bernice--a 5-foot- 2, 125-pound package of en- ergy who says: "T have loved, eaten and lived baseball since I was eight years old. I want to find a place in baseball, pref- erably umpiring." Bernice has applied -- and been accepted--for the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Baseball School, opening June 1. The spend four weeks there ab- mitted to the camp, she will spend our weeks there ab- sorbing instruction from such baseball Hall of Famers as Max Carey and Bob Feller. "They know I'm a woman, and they didn't turn me down. I'll see how things go. When I get out, I'll probably start making applications to umpire." The youngest of five' chil- dren of a coal miner, Bernice began playing baseball with hit against major league pitchers and performed with such personalities as Roger Maris, Sid Gordon and Cal Abrams. She gave a batting demonstration at Kansas City three years ago--at the invita- tion of Charles 0. Finley, the owner of the Athletics.

Finishing touches are being placed on stadiums, arenas and waterways throughout this 500,000 for the two-week event which will draw more than 3,000 athletes from 17 Western Hemis- phere nations. Some facilities have been completed, others are down to the paint - brush and broom stage. But two possible trouble spots are looming. There is some concern about progress on the Pan-American pool, the $3,000,000 showpiece of the Games, and headaches in the ticket office where a pile-up of orders has forced a shutdown of over-the-counter sales for at least a week. Only six weeks remain for completion of the pool, where Pan-Am trials for the Canadian swimming and diving team are to open July 1.
