This is "Dolly" Stark's thirteenth season as a National League umpire. "Dolly" was a protege of Bill Klem and has proved himself one of the most able arbiters in the league. Never a major league player, Stark became an umpire quite by accident. He was asked to fill in as an umpire in a college game at Vermont, and did so capable a job, he was induced to take it up as a career. He was voted the most popular umpire in the league several years ago. Besides umpiring, "Dolly" has done radio broadcasting, and was basketball coach at Dartmouth for many years.
