takes after the game, especially the
mistakes of nOn-enforcement of rules.
that better work would be got out of
these officers and less disorder will oc-
cur or the ball field. He thinks
large share OF the disorders are due TO
the weakness and lack of firmneSs of
umDireS.
BY the new regulation the president
and secretary of the league will select
the unpues and withhold 10 per cent
of salaries for fines and penalties that
may he imposed on them. An inSpec-
tor Of umpreS will be elected by the
league, but may be removed either by
the league or board of directors for
malfeasance in office or for other just
cause. He shall supervise and inspect
the Work of the umpireS and report
and competency.
All complaints as to their work shall
be referred to him for Investigation.
Complaints as to errors of Judgment
will receive little consideration unless
they are frequently repeated and come
from various sources. in sufficient
numbers to denote incompetency. then
he shall gather the evidence and fol-
low il UP by his own personal obser-
walton, report every thing to Secretary

The same course will follow as 70
errors of Interpretation of rules. but
if the complaint be for wilful violation
of constitution or rules or neglect or
refusal to enforce the rules, or for i'm
proper or ungentlemanly conduct, then
and after the collection of evidence by
aflidavits or otherwise, he shall make
a personal investigation in the place
where the complaint originated, giving
both sides a hearing, and report his
finding to the secretary, who must, if
the finding sustain the complaint, fine
the umpire at least $50 and may sus-
pend or remove him, if the offense IS
sufficiently aggraVating.
