LEAfiUEU IPIRES
Chicago Doc 20Vben club own
ers of a baseball league decldo to pass
on the fitness or unfitness of the um
pires It is time for a change An
owner would stultify himself were ho
to dictate how the umpires should bo
handled and I do not think there is a
single owner in the American league
at least who would cheapen himself
by Interfering in either picking or re
taining the umpires That function
belongs to the head of the league and
If he is not able to handle such
matters it Is time for the owners to
look fOr somebody else
The above was the comment of
President B B Johnson of the Amer
ican league yesterday regarding the
suggestion made by the National
league magnates that a majority of
club owners could bya vote dismiss
any of the Indicator handlers on Pres
ident Lynchs staff
The American league owners are
a unit In believing that the election of
umpires should be loft to the head of
the league President Johnson con
tinued and 1 would not work under
any other arrangement I believe
and I think the majority of fans nro
with me when I say that baseball
became much cleaner with the added
authority of the umpires on the field
and the fact that they were backed I
up In their decisions at all times
1 If a club owner folt that he had
legitimate complaint on the work cf
an umpire he could appeal to the
board of directors but tills has net
bcTi necessary with us For the sal
vation of tho game the umpire must
he backed up If be Is Incompoten Il
Is np to the league executive to let
him go but It would mean chaos In I
baseball were owners to have to say
as to what constituted a good um
pire In the heat of the battle an
owner or manager might think he was
getting the worst of It when on more
mature reilectlon he might want to
change his mind

PITCUINf RECORD
OF THE LEAGUES
New York Dcc OA baseball I
statistician here has figured out that
since 1872 when records were first I
kept four thousand batmen have
faced major league pitchers and only I
450 of them have shown averages of
200 or over Ever since the National
league was organized In 1S76 the ef
fectlvcncss of thc pitcher has grad
ually increased in spite of riles
passed to bring about more batting
Nino balls originally entitled a hit
ter to a bsea hit the number was
cut to six then to four while the
strikes were increased from throe to
four The records seem to show that
In recent years the batting has de
eased In strength until last season
the pitchers had a greater advantage
than ever beforo
That the overage manager believes
the success of his team depends chief
ly upon the effectiveness of his pitch
ers Is shown by tie fact that twice
tho number of twlrlcrs arc carried
nowadays than was the case In 1895
Then three or four firstclass pitchers
were sufficient whereas nowadays a
sufclont nownlnBl I
major league team is not considered
well equipped unless seven or eight
buxuion are on the payroll

The danger of disaster to New l

The extent of tho San Franc s o

the water mains and that Is the dang I
er we face Right now we are c g
glng tunnels through the heart of the
city using largo quantities of dynamite

Any dav a terrific explosion aa
sudden and unexpected as the disas

of our principal water mains I this I
