Fob. 19. —There may be no way of changing the general or nery disposition of an umpire, but President John K. Tener has decided to do the best he can and see that every one of his arbiters enter the fray in April physically tit as a tlddle. Just how fit a fiddle really is nobody appears to know, but that is exactly how they are point? to be, according to official announcement. A training camp for umpires, far from the madding workshops of_ the players, will be established at Warm Springs, Va., and there you may hear the roar of Bill Klem and Bill Rigler at any time within the next month without fear of personal violence or a favorite player being put off the lot. George Cockill, the Tri-State man ager will also break into the game here. S>>tem Long Advocated Yes. it has come at last. For sev eral years baseball managers have claimed that the officials came in as blind as bats, as deaf as posts and as peevish as settings hens, all of which was due to lack condition. On sev eral occasions McGraw and Clark 1 Griffith have urged the necessity of j, having umpires put in shape as well j as player*. The men offered to accept j such officials as guests at their camps.' but a feeling of danger kept them j away. Mr. Rigler signed his contract with the National I-ieague yesterday and, I paving his choice of training grounds, | declared that he would begin at Warm [' Springs. Bob Emslie, Mai Eason. Hart i and Bill Klem are expected to join him next month. Rigler plans to do i hard work so as to take off weight, and t tblnks he can sharpen up his eye byj' officiating in games between th'e school | ] teams. What the players may think j i remains to be seen- —or heard. I Mr. Klem already has been in train ing over in New Jersey by playing 1 golf and shooting at the traps, but to 1 put on the finishing touches he feels;! that he must be where he can get in|l sight of a regular league baseball in , > flight. The others will strike direct!] for the Springs.
