Has Resigned as Umpire and Will Ac-

Soap Company.

Billy Thompson, who worked during
the Jacksonville -Keokuk series has
resigned and will accept a position as
travelling salesman for the Burlington
Soap Company. Mr.. Thompson had
the position offered him several days
ago. but did not accept until after his
first series. He would probably have
made good umpire and his return to
active baseball work would have pleas
ed many OF his old time admirers.

Keokuk and Quincy will play this

President Justice is not the only
president who is having trouble in
securing umpires. The American as
sociation is in need of a man at the
present time and an effort by Justice
to secure man from the Western
league caused an increase in his (the
umpire) salary of SIS per month. An
umpire was mobbed at jackson, Mich,
Saturday. Many other incidents will
go to show that the Central Associa-
ton is not having more than share
of the misfortune which often results
from the Indicator men.
