Who Loves an Umpire |?

Some day some Goethe of the dia- mond is going to immortalize himself by writing an epic entitled The Sor- rows of Byron" He. not the poet gentle reader, but the National league umpire, is having his troubles take it from everybody. A feud seems to have broken out in the East be- tween Lord Bill Byron and a number of players. The first blood was shed when McGraw manager of the Giants, exchanged some passes with the Czar of the Diamond Since then everybody has been picking on him, and if it were not for the fact that he is a mighty game man he would have thrown up the sponge long ago.
 The fans. incidentally, are getting pretty tired of the display of bum sportsmanship, and heavens knows they have no love for an umpire Some of the hardest work President Tener Of the National League has done in the past few weeks is slap ping the fines cn players who have indulged in umpire batting.

New York. Aug 6.-Although play ing away from home, New York in the national and Chicago in the Amer ican League increased their leads the past week.
 The opposition to the National League leaders crumb1ed and the Gi- ants gained more than thirty points while Philadelphia, Cincinnati and St. Louis were fighting among themselves. In the American, Boston continues at Chicago's heels.
 A scare was thrown into the Amer ican League leaders early in the week, when they lost two games in success sion to Boston and went into secord place while Barry's men occupied first place for a day. The White Sox wound up the series in Boston by talk ing two games, giving an even break on the four games.
 Except for the continued success of Brooklyn, New York mae the best mark of the week in the National The leaders apparently recovered from their setback of the previous week. taking one game from Chicago, four out of five from Pittsburgh and one out of two from Cincinnati.
