SA;s was due to the fact that the

| psssor to Blame
Regardless Of the work of the DIN :
Ill. Passon is at fault. No matter
where the game nowadays, the jumps
srnerally come from some regular as
nciation. and the work Of the ofncinis
Iahould have been reported to the proper
authorities.
The umpire problem is one that hos
| Ieen the bane Of local baseball this
sason, and has caused the only dissen :
ION in the ranks. The Philadelphia
. IeDociation Is wrestling with the prob
km, md will no doubt have an impor- :
tant case brought before its attention
this evening. ,,
On Saturday at the South Philly
grounds, 1t appears that only one OF the
officials assigned by the Philadelphia
Association put in an appearance. After
the sole arbitrator worked single hand
ed for three innings, Manager Rudolph
placed two officials of the United Um.
pires' Association in the field.
The matter will receive the attention
Of the Board Of Governors at theiI
meeting tonight, but 1t is about tim,
something was done. as the fans are
tired Of hearing the yelps Of both thu
managers and the umpires on the sub
jsct.
