Soon after his arrival a project came

IMPROVED UMPIRING.
President Johnson's Progressive Policy
Brought About This Result.

The American League race gains in In
terest with every game. Boston's lead is
so slight that the result of series may
relegate Conllins' team to fourth place Chi
cago lost ground In the east. but not enough
to discourage Comiskey's players or pa
irons. Boston's success over the Browns
was to be expected. The Athletics met
with many defeats on their home
grounds from Cleveland as they secured on
their recent tour OF the west. An even
break in four games with Macks men tn
dicates that the Blues will make a good
road record and return with pennant pros
with their reputation Of this season. The
close competition the American League
attracts attention to the advance made In
the conduct OF games. An inspection Of
the records makes 1t plain that there is
less home umpirtng 4faan In former years
and that the location Of games plays q
comparatively unimportant part in their
lean League and the Introduction of Presi-
