The Nationals started poorly. They
had little or nothing. No one really
thought they would finish as high as
fifth. For a month they threatened to
fall out Of the league, as they had for
SO many years before. Then they got
started. Even then the fans and the
baseball writer's made fun Of them. Pre-
dictions were made that they would
soon fade away. but they didn't They
stayed right where they were, and to-

Bob Reads Staff of
Umpires a Good One

Harry E. rabbit" Taylor is the
latest to sign a contract to umpire
in the Ohio state league. The other
umpires are Harry Truby and Harvey
Pastorlous, of last years staff and Al
Weddige, the cd time player.
Whatever may be said as to the
smaller cities and lower class of
the Ohio state league, it will not
be said during the coming season
that It has a poor staff of umpires.
Last season President Read went
through the season with six men on
his stam and he would have gone
through with only five but for the
fact that one Of them was injured and
compelled to retire This is almost

given his release. He is a compe-

will have the players and fans alike

ago, will be in the circuit as will Har-

owners are few and far between, but
these four men are quartette who

think they would make good indi-
