An Unlucky Umpire.

Umpire Jim Johnstone of the National league has a peculiar record in extra inning games. Three times he has. started out to handle a double-header, and every time the game has gone into so many extra innings that the second game could not be played. One was 20 innings long, another 1* and another 17.
