Newmarkets fivegame winning Both teams played a running game from the opening faceoff SPORTS COLUMN The baseball season in full swing on all fronts A thousand wordy battles have already been fought with umpires on diamonds the width of the continent For as in all sports where the contacts are close and split seconds divide the issue no two persons ever see a close play alike Baseball hasnt made many changes of playing rules in half a century But in one respect the game has since undergone some notable improvements Thats in its um piring Fancy in those days of from two to four umpires per game the job of the single umpire in The hardy offi cial of that era began his arduous days toil behind the plate balls and strikes But when men were on base he hurried out from behind the bat and took his stand behind pitcher calling the close ones from distances of sixty feet more For he also to decide the plays at alt the bases Not eyes In the rear of cranium he had to turn when ill was hit so that he could watch the fielder the ball running around the bases and then perhaps turn to a slide Into the He had to run out to foul lines to whether a ly ball was fair or foul And he had to make a long range judgment as to what happened to the batted ball when it was wasnt a homer because of various ground rules In some games decisions were so many and so difficult that it was certain he could make only snap judgment de cisions then hope for the best knowing that he had tried to fair all over the umpire made his troubled way room En route the players abused him the dm and quite often attacked him He didnt like the supreme authority of todays umplrea ibles he received around awl have for umpires the hatter 100 assembled fans saw one of the best games of the season and enjoyed it There were just enough sentences on the crime sheet to keep things boiling The teams ended the first quarter the Teepees led at half time A galloping four- goal effort In the final four min utes of
