from a close friend of President Tener
of the National League this afternoon
that Hank O'Day, former umpire of the
National League and later manager OF
the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati, will
again ofiiciate in the old league. Take
it from me. Hank will be back in the

into the Evers-Quigley run-in of Thurs
day. he said, the head of the National
League let the cat out of the ba g
when Hank O'Day's name was brought
UP in the course of the conversation.
Every club owner in the National
League is ready for Hank to come in
as an umpire and add his experience
and wisdom to the supposedly small
stock of these commodities now held
by the afbitrators of the National
League and he will surely receive a
royal welcome if he gets back into the
fold again.
