NEW YORK, Dec H. -Umpires rate very low with rabld baseball fans, but oHe man who started in big time baseball as an umpire now is rated by National League club owners Is worry aslc lsssae chief.
 His name is John H. Heydler. He has been connected with the National League as an executive for 26 years, the last 10 years as president. He will be up for re- election at the annual league meet ing today. The probability is that he not only will be reelected, but that his contract will be renewed for a longer period than at any other time in his career.
 As the baseball jargon goes John A. Heydler has somewhat of q record as a pinch h-hitter. It was his pinch hitting, not as player but as an authority, that enabled him to work into the game as an executive.
 When Harry c. Pulliam succeed ed to the league presidency in 1903, ino records were available of the preceding season. Heydler, . sports writer on the Washington Star, came through with the necd- ed statistics. Pulliam rewarded him with the private secretaryship b the league president.
 The first time Heydler delivered for the league in an emergency was a few years earlier when he substituted for regular umpire who failed to- appear for a game in Washington. Heydler later was appointed to the umpiring staff. Heydler continued as priva e secretary to President Pulliam from 1903 to 1907, when he was elected secretary and treasurer of the league. Two years later, upon the sudden death of MT. Pulliam, he became acting president of the league, serving until the election of Thomas J. Lynch at the annual meeting in 1909. ln 1915. non Tener was elected president, he accepted or condi- Lion hat he be permitted Q scgYa out bis term as governor of Penn sylvania, which did mol expire un. til the end of 1915 Meanwhile MT Heydler handled much of the ex- ecutive routine and became acting president again when, in August 1918, Governor Tener resigned. Al the annual meeting in December that year MT. Heydler was elected president for term of three years In 1920, although he had another year of his term to serve, the clui owners reelected him for thre, l additional years. Then in 192. they reelected him for a term O four years.
 Heydler is the leagues eight president. Morgan c. 'Bulkele, of New Haven was elected frs lpresident of the leaghe in 1876. H.
 was followed by William A. lInl
 bert of Chicago, who served iron { 1877 to 1882. Then came Col A G. Mills of New York for the sea

LONDON. Dec. 1.-The

LONDON. Dec. 11.-The Kings physicians are waging a battle against death, it is unofficially said.
 The chances of King Georges recovery are slight. it is 1icasey 4
 Most persons are wonder ing whether the Prince of Wales, who is expected to reach London tonight or to- morrow would win the race in time to see his father alive.
 The official bulletin this moning. which was brief and still noncommital, con- veyed little to the general public and certainly gave no ground for belief there was any change for the better in the Kings condition.
 It is evident that the persist ant fever which wracked tn Kings body for more than thre weeks and sapping his strength still held firm grip upon him. The Kings power of resistanc has been ebbing for days unde the strain.
 Lung infection which sprea to his general system has bee evident from the physicians re rent reports.
 There was some comfort for tn Kings anxious subjects who hay been hoping almost against hope in today's bulletin. that ther had been no further dimunitio of strength after night i which the King had several hour sleep. Whether this was nal ural sleep was no stated in tn bulletin.
