EPoRTs from throughout the TX world of baseball this season in- A dicates that the work of the ar biters has not been of a satisfactory nature. In all of the major leagues the players and the public have loudly complained of the poor decisions of the umpires. In our own Southern circuit the umpres almost without exception have been awful on balls and strikes and on field decisions. In fact, 1t has beer surprising that no riots have fol- lowed some of the exhibitions of um- piring displayed in the Southern this season.
 Just what is the trouble with the umpires this season?
 
 To us, it appears that the umpires have been given a superabundance of authority and by the misuse of this the game has dulled and public interest has Jagged. Something really should be done to liven things up.
 By this is not meant that the old rowdy days are desired. But there is . happy medium The old rowdy days were bad. but the present when an umpire is so inflated with his own i'm portance that he fines and removes fl om the game any player that frowns at his rank decisions is worse than the riotous old. exciting days of the beginnings of baseball.
 The public naturally goes out to the game with the object of seeing some
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-26

favcrite player in action. This player as often as not is likely to be re- moved from the fray in the early in- nings because of some ironic remarks regarding the optical illusions of the umpire, and some of the fans are nat urally displeased. There should be some maner of preventing this indiscrimi- nate yanldng from the game of players by the umpires In fact, 1t would not be a bad idea to yank the umpires now and then when they have off days.
 This season in the National and American leagues we have had fist fights between players and the arbit- CTS on the playing field. Players have been removed from the game on the slightest provocation, and if we know the temper of the baseball public 1t is rather weary of this arbitrary and dictorial policy of the judges of base ball.
 The umpires have too much power It has gone to their heads It makes them clannish, and they feel su- perior to the players and are therefor irritable to the men on the playing field.
 II is current gossip at the present time in the Southern league that the unpres have banded together for nut ual protection, as they state. That is, any player that often disputes de- cisons and otherwise shows himself to
 
 the umpires get together and write to the league heads demanding that the player be punished for his presump- ton. This is not right, and should be investigated.
 Of course, some of the older player., desirous of any alibi to remain in the game. will often kick at excellent de- cisions. and these men should be pun ished, but it is dangerous for a group of umpires to have an understanding as to which player shall be boycotted.
 If this is so in the Southern league it is quite likely the truth in the majors. Empires are all the same the world over, and the arbiters have a fairly workable understanding in the American and National league as to who are the live and aggressive play CTS and what toleration shall be given them. A careful consideration of this readily explains the numerous fights between umplres and players this sea- son on the ball field.
 Of course little can be done during the rest of the season. but it seems to us that this winter careful considera- ton of the umpire situation should be given by the baseball moguls.
 The arbiters should be shorn of a little of their tYra nical noWers

The Cubs prospects now seem asout the poorest of any of the lot mentioned The Cubs have been on the down grade and appear unable to strike a winning gait Six straight losses during the week dropped them to third place. The Phillies played their usual steady game and main tained their advantage. The Brooklyns pulled up into second place with five out of seven games won.
 The record of the Philadelphias so far this season is one Pat Moran, of which they well may be proud of. The Quaker leader had little to start with. but he has built up a capable infield, while the outer works have proven strong. Philadelphia s box work generally has been better than expected and the catching department has been more than up to the mark.
 The work of the Brooklyns continues to excite enthusiasm among the patrons of Ebbets field, for although they lost two games during the week they won five and have dropped only five out of their last 27. Robnson's men now are a strong second and making the Philles hustle.
 Giants In the Race
 1ttSDurS ana New 1Ork are running neck and neck. The Pirate infield is im- proving and Clarke's boxmen are holding their end up well.
 St. Louis lost five out of seven games, and Cincinnati continues in the ruck, seeming unable to do better than win one game in a series.
 The. American league battle still lies between the only three clubs in the cir cult that have shown real class this sea- son-Boston, Chicago and Detroit. The White Sox have not been doing well of late. The loss of the lead to the club that had held it so long was regrettable from a Chicago standpoint, but the ar dent supporters of the team are con vinced that the slump was such as any team, however capable, may experience at some stage of the race and that the recession Is only temporary.
 There has been no denying the BoStons in recent weeks, and the Red SoX, now fairly well entrenched in first position, are due at home within a few days for a long stay. They lost only one game of eight played during the week and started in well on the new playing period against St. Louis today.
 The Detroits remain third, although once during the week they were ahead Johnson Saturday, but lost a chance to regain second place by dropping the sec ond game to Washington. Today another opportunity to gain percentage points slipped by Jennings men, the Griffith contingent taking another game.

Burleigh Grimes secured sweet re- venge on the Vols, who drove him from the box in two successive days when last the Vols were in Sulphur bell, and never allowed them to get dangerous, although he was touched for 10 hits.
 The big three routed Jack Frost in his debut appearance before Vol fans as a member of the Schwartz clan in the second frame with one out and Floyd Kroh, who succeeded him, was touched up lively and poorly supported.

Coyle flew to Kircher, but Sheehan dropped Stark's toss on Coombs roller and the sacks were filled Lindsay lift ed tall fly to right that was impos- sible for Baker to reach and the Baron boss counted after the ball fell safe.

 closing yesterday with n margin of cne-haIf n game over Memphis, which

 Outside of Memphis the only clubs tc improve their percentage of victor ies were Little Rock and Birmingham. The Barons. with four victories and four defeats, had the best week of any team and are challenging Memphis and New Orleans for the league leadership. The closeness of the pennant race is shown by the fact that Nashville, in fourth place. was only five games be- hind New Orleans at the end of the

 have not shown the winning form that marked their early season leadership and the best they could do was to break even in the six games played In the second division, Atlanta and Mobile, whose recent rushes gave promise of carrying them close to the top, fell back, Atlanta winning only two of six contests and Mobile break ing even in eight games.
