From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper'S weekly.
According to, bleacher law, there are
three particularly justifiable motives for
doing away with umpires. An umpire
may be killed. first, If he sees fit to adj

against the home team at a close point
in the game. Secondly, an umpire may
be killed If he sends member of the
home team to the bench when the play
er in question has done absolutely moth
ing but call the umpire names and at
tempt to bite his ear off-an umpire has
no business to be touchy. Thirdly (and
this is a perfect defence against the
charge of murder). an umpire may be
killed If he calls any batter on the home
team outson strikes when the player has
not even struck at the balls pitched.
That the balls go straight over the plate
has nothing to do with the case.
There is ample proof at hand to show
that killing the-umpire is distinctively
