DOUBLE UMPIRE SYSTEM
FOR AMERICAN LEAGUE

CHICAGO. August 1e-President Ban
Johnson announced last night that the
double umpire system will be used In all
games of the American League next sea-
son. Losing no time after making the
decision, President Johnson already has
engaged two new diamond indicators to
complete his staff.
This reform, which was looked upon as
inevitable in the future, owing to the
growing complexities of the game. has
been advocated by number of the lead
ing base ball writer's, but 1t has hardly
been thought the change would be made
at once, although many recent happenings
on the diamond where only one umpire
has worked, have shown the necessity
for two pairs of eyes.
1t seems reasonable to believe the Ma
tional League will also use two umpires
next season, although President Pulliam
has not expressed himself definitely as
yet.
Perhaps more than any other base ball
executive before the public, President
Johnson, ever since the origin of the
American League, has made a feature Of
his umpiring staff. has insisted on strong
men. whenever they could be obtained,
and has insisted that their decisions and
control of the players on the field be up
held. His support of his umpires has
brought him into frequent tits with own
ers and managers anxious to win, who OBJ
1ected to the suspensions he melted out to
players attempting to "bulldoze" the UNI
pre- When the umpires have been to
blame, a new face generally has appeared
the following season.

managers have promised to have out their
strongest line-ups. and IL such Is the case

HERE AND THERE

The Nationals wind up in Detroit to-
day and then start for home. It WASH
such a bad stay in Tigertown, after all.
All hail to Jerry Freeman! That makes
two games in as many days he has won
with his bat. About month ago the
hot-headed fans wanted some one to
take Jerry's place at first.
Just think of Clyde Milan swiping the
ball for three bases on his first time up
and then resting on third while the next
three men went out. Was it poor stick
work or fine pitching?
Fridays game between the Nationals
and White Sox will start at o'clock.
The lateness Of the season compels this
change in time.
The Nationals have played sixteen
games SO far on the trip. winning six
it is considered that the four Western
clubs are all in the first division. The
locals won one In st. LOUSY two in Chi
cago, one in Cleveland and two in De-
troit. Should they win today the show

when conditions are considered.

President Johnson's determination to go
into the double umpire system Is to be
commended. The big chief has doubtless
ascertained that men of the calber of
Jack Sheridan and Tommy Connolly are

into the contests these days by the crafty
