The Umpire Troabls.

Umpires Hurst and Swartwood have
been discredited by President Young
The former is not assigned to a game
is not scheduled for Philadelphia Or
N5ston. Hurst will not ofiieiate In
game this season in which the Giants
or Reds take part. These two officials
are vouched for as capable and honest
umpires by the National League which
elected them to the staff. Hurst had
trouble in New York and Cincinnati
and Swartwood gave offense to the
Philadelphia and Boston maEnates
John T. Brush denies that he request
ed President Young to arrange the
schedule that Hurst should not be as
signed to Cincinnati. but it Is stated
that President Freedman declared that
he would close the gates at the Polo
Grounds before he would allow Hurst
to oficiate In one of the games played
on them. Mr.. Young failed to carry
out the instructions given him by the
National League. in scheduling the
umpires. The object OF the magnates
was to have each umpire officiate In
an equal number of games for each
club, thus giving all the clubs an
equal chance. Mr.. Young's motive is
understood, but 1t was none the less
a mistake for him to comply with
Freedman's demand Ii club owner
is allowed to bar one umpire from his
grounds, he can put all of them under
the ban and have the games on hia
grounds run to suit himself. In order
to protect himself from the charge
