Ormond H. Butler, the well-known ex-umpire and ex-manager of the Alleghenys, now in the theatrical business, has borrowed an idea from our Southern friends. He is now in Chicago negotiating for a downtown theatre or other eligible hall, to report games by telegraph. The stage is to be set in the form of a miniature ball field. Every player is given his position, and every movement of the game is to be shown on the platform, each stage of the game being closely followed. Each ball and strike will be shown, each foul, base hit, home run and every feature of the game enacted. He was to have opened with the Chicago-New York game of yesterday.
