Including me and on my little tout of the spring training i camps which starts today I have decided to d i a little private spying on the hlue suit and whisk broom Icoys Too mtk h attention is centered; on the players during spring train-1 I Ing. and too little on the umpires What ind of shape arc they getting in?

By the time th< first game rolls around be- would be ready for the fans' abuse, even If the game were played In Brooklyn. t'mplres should spend a lot of their time these days going around picking fights to accustom them to the scraps and arguments that c ome up with players An umpire who has been peaceful for six months might not be tn proper < trim to take on Ducky Mui sick. • Ernie Lombardi, or George Halkirk It would be very Interesting tome to see what National and American langue umpires are doing | to fit themselves for their dictator - | ships.
