Wm. R. Park has applied for an Eastern League umpireship. He resides in Easton, Pa. He would fill the position with credit to himself and give general satisfaction. He has had large experience and has made a reputation for excellent judgment and strict impartiality. In 1874 he was a member of the famous Easton nine, and in ‘75 played with the Washington, D.C. Club. In 1876 he was with the Boston Club, and umpired all the prominent games inthe East in which his club was not engaged. He has been connected with all the prominent clubs in his native town and has had numerous engagements as umpire for local nines. Last year he was appointed umpire for the College League, and umpired for the Lafayette, Stevens, Rutgers and University nines. In all his wide experience with all sorts and conditions of players, William Park has fairly earned a reputation as a good, careful, safe, reliable and courteous umpire.
