New York, Sept. 20.-As everyone

the national game are the men behind
the catcher who decides whether
pitched balls are strikes or balls, and
the field umpire. Every time either

ready to utilize the moth-caten ex-
pressions, "Oh, you robber!" Get a

President Thomas j. Lynchs staff of
umpres is not kindly one. Persons
' who claim to be authorities on the
game have taken n upon themselves

Saturday to decide the fate of the
proposal to bond the village for $685.

of installing water meters. The board
of registration will be in session to-
morrow to record the names of new
voters, including women who are tax
payers and are properly qualified.
Those in close touch with the situa-
ton are of the opinion that the pro-
posed bonding issue will carry. The
vote probably will be very heavy for
a special election, although not as
heavy as at the annual spring elect
ion.
The members of the council and
president are very anxious that the
vote sail represent the feeling of the
majority of the tax payers, and they
urge all voters who can possibly dc
so, To vote. 1t is pointed out that il
the proposal passes with only smol
