A Kentucky baseball fan who likes
to butt in here and there and who
generally makes himself heard be-
lieves that it is undignified for um-
pires to lug around a whisk broom and
sweep off the home plate at intervals.
He suggests that a servant be en-
ployed by the home club to perform
this distasteful duty. For argument he
asks how would it look for judge In
