Text	[reporting the AA special meeting of 9/4/1887] President Von der Ahe, at the solicitation of several members, agreed to withhold his charges of incompetency against President Wikoff, but he insisted that the power of appointment of umpires should be taken out of Wikoff’s hands. To this the Association agreed and Messrs. Byrne, of Brooklyn; Robinson, of Cleveland, and Phelps, of Louisville, were appointed as a committee to attend to securing umpires for next season. The committee was given ample power and discretion to secure good men. There was a unanimous sense of the meeting that there should be an improvement in the umpire system and all the delegates were in favor of high salaries and also make the situations a permanency. Hereafter no umpire will be removed at the request of three clubs until he has been given the benefit of a hearing before the committee.
