been after his scalp. He should not
be called upon to umpire games in
this city, where M thousand to
twelve hundred people turn out to
see a game. Kelly, the Railway UNI
pire. 1t is said. will not umpire In
this city any more because of the
"razzing' receiGed here. Kelly to
the knowledge of a majority of the
fans who turn out regularly for the
local games, received no "razzing'
while serving in the capacity of UNI
pire here.
