Mr. Martin, the umpire in the Baltimore-Athletic game of the 30 th ult., states that he was ignorant of that section of rule VI, which says that “the substitute shall be the player running the bases,” and says he would have reversed his decision had he known of its existence. He will appear before the Judiciary Committee when the case comes up, which it soon will, and then reverse his decision.
