Text	[from Brunell's column] The Cleveland Club will also be found to favor the double umpire system, so successfully tried in the world's championship series. The cry of economy raised against the system will not do. Base ball cannot afford to let economy stand in the way of a so9lution of the umpire problem. It has presented too many knots for too many seasons for that. The Association should adopt the system and use two umpires in all its championship games next season. By means of it all the annoying errors made by umpires on base decisions will be wiped out, and it is worth a great deal of money to have them wiped out. Of course, the chances for bad calling of balls and strikes will not disappear; but they will be diminished, since the calling umpire will not have his attention diverted from that branch of his work by base plays.
