EVERYBODY IS
AFTER UMPIRE

Has it ever occurred to the patron of
a baseball game who yells his throat
hoarss over an umpire's decision. which
nine times out Of ten is right but for the
sake Of argument may be granted 10 ho
wrong. that he is largely responsible for
the scarcity OF good umpires.
Has it ever occurred to the bah player
who complains that he was robbed OF
this or that or 10 the manager who
blames the umpire for a defeat. that
nine-tenths of the fault for the existence
Of bad umpiros is MIS- There is only one
cause for the small supply of good UNI
rircc and off the necessity of retaining
~ service those who are dmit-ediy mac
curate. The number Of men who have
tho brains, nerve, and judgment to make
good umpirea and will devote such abil-
tiles to the profession Of baseball umpir-
ing is decidedly small Few men of the
requisite ability will submit to the abuse
insult, and general rowdyism aimed at the
umpire during the average baseball game
They will accept far less money in other
lines in which they can retain their self
respect without wearing armor plate to
protect It. For the greater part of the
abuse and insult hurled at the umpire the
average player or manager is responsible
The average spectator would accept the
average umpire's decision as correct If
the player did not feel called upon to pro-
test, either verbally or visibly. when the
decision does not favor him or his team.
oftentimes when knows perfectly well that
the decision was correctly made This
common practice incites the spectator, gen
orally preiudced anyway, to believe the
umpire never is right when he makes an
adverse decision. The major leagues have
the matter so well in hand that players
seldom can incite crowd to violence
nowadays, but in the minor leagues one
constantly reads of attacks or threatened
attacks on umpires. The result Is that
the majority of umpires in the minor lea
CUES are men whose nerve and fighting
spirit exceeds their Intelligence A "brui-
ser" who makes mistakes will last long
er than a man of good tact and judg-
ment who is thin skinned Consequently
when major league president seeks to re
place an incompetent umpire he knows
not where to find man who may not be
worse than the bad umpire he has
When baseball crowds and baseball
players learn 10 treat umpires the way
football crowds and football players treat
the officials in charge Of football contests
Il will be possible to obtain high-cass men
to umpire baseball games as intelligent,
careful, and conscientious IN the discharge
OF their duties as those who are ready TO
officate at football games, and esteem it
high honor TO be chosen. There arc a
few baseball umpires of that class, but
mighty few Of them. And for that fact
the average baseball patron and the aver
age baseball player has only himself 10
blame. Think II over.
