Olliver, who is also a member of the executive of the association. The suspension will stand until Olliver withdraws allegations mado by him aga an umpire in a letter to the Umpires' Association. A protest was received by the executive from tho Umpires' Association, which claimed that there had been an unwarranted reflection upon the honesty of purpose of certain umpires. The chairman, Mr. A.
