THE UMPIRE DID WELL.
Mr. McNarama was OF In some Few
balls and strikes but his decisions in the
main wer all right and even .he chronic
kickcrs were held down. His plan OF
putting the players who are warming up
during the game outside the enclosure
was perfectly right. The rules do not
allow IL, and then there is objection from
the people in the grandstand. They
want nothing 10 detract their attention
from the game.
McFarlan put the ball out farther than
any one has done this season. 1t new
