umpire. Sumter Is not contending
and has never contended for the ap-
pointment or retention Of Miller or
any other umpire. Any umpire from
anywhere who knows his business
and will give all the teams a square
deal will be acceptable to Sumter.
But II seemed strange that Miller,
who was giving satisfaction to the
managers of majority Of the teams,
should have been dismissed and
jokelet like Matthews put In his
place. Harmony within the league
may be more desirable than a COM
petent umpire. hence no effort has
