[editorial matter] Only a spirit of cheese-paring economy in this one direction has hitherto prevented the adoption of the double umpire system, and this spirit must ultimately yield to pressure of public opinion, even if the reform be not quickened by some deplorable occurrence. Give us double umpires for all championship games, for it is more than ever needed this season, because under the new rules there is more batting and more bases on balls, thus keeping the bases occupied very much oftener and adding correspondingly to the number of decisions and to the great labor of the umpire's never easy task.
