Text | [from the Indianapolis correspondent] President Brush is a warm advocate of the double umpire system and will try to persuade the League to adopt such a measure. As a matter of economy he suggests that the League have four regular umpires and also a staff of three in each city, the latter to be local and receive not more than $5 per game. His idea is to allow the visiting captain to select one of the local men to assist the regular official, the latter being behind the bat, while the assistant occupies a position to make base decisions. |
