Four umpires will preside over the

but they may operate under a new
scheme. Formerly two Of the um-
pireA have been assigned to guard
the outfield foul posts. But this
time. in addition to the. umpire be-
hind the plate, three officials may be
stationed at the bases. The one at
first base can watch four balls nit in
his direction. The umpire at the
middle bag can devote his attention

plays are made by the second base-
man or a shortstop, while the ottl-

the plays on the runners, but also
pass judgment on the drives along
the foul line in left field. Advocates

When Jack Ness OF Chicago. and
with the Oakland club of the Pacific
Coast league. went of on the
rampage in 1915 and hit safely in
forty-fiVe consecutive games, Harry
Krause, who once worked for Connie
Mack, tried hard to check the on
slaught.
Ness had made a hit in each Of
twenty-elght games when he faced
Krause for the final time in game
with Frisco. Krause decided that he
would walk Ness. Jack, who hadn't
made a hit yet, had to crack out a
safe one to continue his record OF
hitting In every game. Krause had
thrown three balls, all far on the
other side OF the plate. which caused
Jack to accuse Krause Of being
afraid of him and all such things as
that. However, Ness double crossed
Krause. for on the next pitch he took
the bat in one hand stepped across
the plate and whacked out q single.
A number Of pitchers tried the same
scheme after that, but It failed to
work.
II may be that al Orth has un-
pired his last game IN the National
league. The veteran Judge OF play
was injured in a game in Brooklyn
recently, when he slipped and threw
his right knee out Of joint. This was
the third time such an accident has
happened TO Orth. He first hurt his
knee in 1915. when he slipped IN go-
ing into the Phillies' dugout and so
disloeated his knee that he was con-
fined in a hospital for a month. At
that time orth was warned that II
he suffered another severe oisloca-
ton 1t would end his career as an
umpire. Last year he suffered an
other hurt but It was slght. sut
the last was as serious as the first,
and Crth Is now at his home IN
