Captain Stovey objected to Goldmsith umpiring from the centre of the diamond last Monday, claiming that with two umpires it was not necessary to run any risk of blocking the players. Goldsmith umpired from that position only when there was a man on second base, but it was quite evident that he interfered with the throwing of both Cross and Weyhing to second. With two men umpiring no standing in the infield should be permitted.
