In yesterdays Philadelphia Times an
article on the Wynnewood- Wilmington
game, states that the latter team made
seven of the eight runs through rank
decisions of the umpire. There is no
doubt that several of the umpire's de-
cisions were questionable, but an umpire
cannot please everybody. Moreover, as
to the home club winning by these ques.
tionable decisions, nothing could be fur
ther from the fact. Had fair decisions
been made that is, fair to disinterested
persons, the score would have been closer.
but the Wilmington would have won, as
it is the strongest team.
