There was much dissatisfaction yester-
day with the rulings of umpire Green.
Whether his decisions were Just or not, It
is not for an outsider to say, but the
crowd did not regard them in that light.
In the seventh inning it did not fan to
make known the fact that it thought the
visitors were playing ten men instead OF
nine, ana that the umpire was the tenth
man. The directors Of the Base Ball As
sOciatlOu feel assured from their kuowl-
edge of the man that umpire Green does
what he thinks is right, that ne is con-
scientlOus, and II he makes mistakes they
are errors of judgment. The directors
appreciate the enthusiasm manifested
for the home club, but they desire that
the umpire's decisions snail be accepted
without any demonstration. There Is
nothing calculated to more speedily iu-
jure the sport than the occurrence OF
noisy and wrangling scenes on the
grounds. The News has referred in
Kindly spirit of criticism to some OF I'm
pire Green's decisions. That umpires as
we'll as other mOrtals err is pretty gem
orally acknowledged fact, and Umpire
Green is not an exception.
