Donnelly, Brodie and Padden
The sudden collapse of base ball eff
forts in the South has given still one
more blow to the, National league Gus
tom of training in Dixie 1t caused the
Pittsburg club to change it's practice
grounds from Atlanta to Norfolk. The
Bostons went to Savannah only after
the parties at that place interested OF
fered extra Inducements. The Baiti-
mores and Philadelphias proceeded to
their Georgia grounds, but both will
ourtail their stay and work northward
as soon as possible in order to secure
games whereby some monetary re-
turns may be secured.
1t is a matter Of history that the
weakest section of the Union for the
national game is the South and South
east. Virginia and Texas alone of all
the Southern states have enough base
ball enthusiasm to carry through a
season. The Southern league has been
a fiat failure for" two or three years
past. Probably rest this year will
restore some of the enthusiasm for
base ball which existed in the Southern
cities half dozen years ago.
The application of Emslie, Hurst and
National league umpires, will probably
be granted. with Sheridan included
These four men are four rare Jewels,
found by trying more than 100 NEIL
Their recompense has been $240 a
month, with all expenses paid, but as
the season is but little over five months
in duration it is seen that they have
been more poorly paid than half Of
the ball players by whom they are
abused. President Young by long ex-
perience must appreciate the worth Of
such men on his staff, and as the
league has referred to him the ques-
ton of increasing their salaries, with
power to act, he will no doubt grant
their request.
There have been umpires in the past
with judgments as good as if not better
than those of Emslie, Hurst, Lynch
and Sheridan, but they have fallen
out of the business either through
Indulgence in liquor or lack Of nerve.
Ball players will almost unanimously
agree that Gaffney was the best man
for correct judgment who ever stood
behind the plate to call balls and
strikes. But he couldn't overcome the
curse of drink. Young tried him over
and over again in the hope that he
would conquer his weakness, but to no
good result. Keefe was another whose
judgment was excellent. But the once
great pitcher lacked sand" The play
ers were not slow in discovering this
weak spot, and they worked it until
Keefe gave up in despair 1t is much
harder to get a good umpire than it
is to find a winning pitcher or a great
batsman. And. considering the abuse
to which they daily submit from play
ers and spectators, MesSrS. Emsl1e,
Lynch, Hurst and Sheridan are prob
ably the poorest paid professionals in
the United States %. P. Caylor.
