KNOCKS FOR JUMPS

CHICAGO, July S.--Charles w. Muir
ply. former owner OF the Cubs. declared
today that Judge X. NJ, Lands was
right when he said In a recent speech
that something is lacking in baseball
as It is played today. Murphy says It's
the umpire. What he means IL. that the
umpire should be lacking. but isn't.
Murphy contends that the American
and National Leagues have made no eff
forts In recent years to improve the UNI
piring. The umpires in the American
League have been backed UP for years
whether they are right or wrong" says
Murphy. Now the National League Ia
doing the same thing. II Is easier for
John K Tener and Ban johnson to sit
back In their offices and back up their
umpires than to ascertain II they are
fitted by temperament to be judges Of
play"
Murphy says that when Tener makes
his tour of the league cities he makes
his presence known instead of watch
ing the umpires unknown to them,

The most serious failure has been
