to have good umpiring, and yet both do the
very thing that makes umpiring unsatisfac-
tory All of which tends to the conclusion
that managers, captains, players and puDnc

the duties assigned to him. strictly in ac-
cordance with the letter and spirit of the
rules. Managers, captains and players can
easily do this and the public can accomplish
good results by boosting instead of
.knocking" this important official.-Mil-
