Umpiring became an international crisis last week, when George Bell, a Toronto outfielder from the Dominican Republic, implied that baseball did not want a truly World Series and was conspiring against the Canadian semifinalist, which once employed a Canadian player. Nobody knows yet whether Arkansan Lloyd Moseby caught or trapped a crucial ball in centerfield, but that call and four or five other dubious ones went against Toronto.

Last year part of the liberal faction put up Arizona's Morris Udall, but a coalition of Southerners and members loyal to big city Democratic machines re-elected...
