postage stamps. The Cincinnati

in row except once and the
Dodgers haven't won more than two
in a row except once.

HIDDEN ''MIKE" AIRS
PLAYER=UMP BRAWLS

Wichita, Kans., July 26-(UP)
Arguments with umpires being
what they sometimes are, the
worlds premiere of the peri
scope microphone" last night was
considerably more than it's spon-
sors had expected.
At the touch of a button, the
microphone springs from hid
den receptacle at home plate
and feeds the vocal part of UNI
pire-player disputes into the pub
lie address system SO that specta-
tors can hear what is going on.
Leftfielder Ernie Miller of Cha
mute, who was batting, didn't like
the way Umpire Paul Fair was
calling them in the Kansas State
semi-pro baseball meet. He
turned around to tell him so and
the microphone sprang up before
his face. Some of the spectators
blushed. The public address sys-
tenn operator pressed a button
and the microphone retired. Mil
Ter and Fair finished their argu-
ment in comparative privacy.
