Secretary Williams has asked the unanimous consent of all the Association clubs to declare null and void that part of Rule 58 of the American Association Code which prohibits an umpire from officiating in any game wherein any club takes part which hails from the same city where the umpire claims his home. Mr. Williams says that if any umpire gets sick, as Daniels did recently, he can with difficulty fill the vacancy under the rule above referred to. The consent of all the clubs will doubtless be given.
