Umpires Delay Strike in 08 World Series
Major League umpires met in Chicago and decided not to strike during the World Series but warned of a general strike next spring unless two discharged AL umpires Salerno and Valentine are reinstated. Salerno and Valentine were fired Sept 16 by Cronin, who cited incompetence, while the umpires claim they were ousted for union activity. In St Louis Cronin declined comment on a formal request from the umpires. Funeral services were held today for Russ Snowberger, veteran auto racer of 40 years, in Mount Clemens Michigan.
