When the Pittsburgs found themselves
unable to hit Neal yesterday they blamed
theumpire for calling strikes. Morris and
Carroll were the principal kickers and
found good deal OF fault. Green's de-
cisiOns in all games that have been played
thus tar have been fair and square. An
umpire's lot is by no means a happy one,
and 1t is plainly TO be seen that Umpire
Green ls not to be fooled with.
Ex-Manager and ex-Umpire Ormond II.
Butler has invented and patented device
by which base ball games can be reported
in public hall with the aid of diagrams
and the telegraph inning by inning and
point by point Just as a game progresses
in distant city. President Young, of
the League, and some of the very best
posted men on base ball have expressed
themselves as highly pleased with this
ingenious method OF reporting games.
Butler, who is at-present living in Evans
vile. Sind, cOntemplates going East
shortly and introducing 1t into the League
and PROBABLY into the American AssOcia-
ton also. In the Southern League last
season an attempt was made to report
games by means of pegs, but il was by
no means as comprehensive as Mr.. But
ler's-in fact, the project there was the
outcome OF his original scheme.
