BOSTON, Sept. 14. — Life for major league umpires nowadays is just one long, sweet dream—over- looking, of course an occasional shower . of epithets or pop bottles from irate fans—in the opinion of lold Bill Klem. 11 And Bill should know, because ¢ he has been calling ‘em in the Na- 'tional League for nigh onto thirty- five years. Klem sighed when he recalled that umpires once registered under assumed names, crept out of bali parks via a rear exit, and lived ia constant dread of being assaulted by players and fans alike. | "But all that has changed, and| 'y\u‘nph‘cs today have as good an opportunity to pursue long, useful careers as have average citizens, old married woman” at 12.

Similar meet- ings will be held every Thursday The veteran arbiter insisted he first tried the idea of standing in front of the bag and watching the runner’s foot while waiting for the ball to reach the first baseman. He listens for the impact of ball on glove, keeping his eyes glued on the runner’s feet. Umpire baiters of the McGraw type have virtually disappeared from the game, much to the relief of Klem and fellow umps. Managers like Bill McKecknie, pie Traynor, Gabby Hartnett, and Bill Terry have helped to lighten the umpire’s burden, according to Klem. “Compared with McGraw,” he added, “they are as gentle zephyrs to a Florida hurricans.” And today no ball player would risk calling Klem “Catfish,” the nickname given him when he en- tered the league.
