UMPIREs WANT THE MAzUMA.
Worlds Series Arbitors Think $500
Too Little for Their Work.

Too Little for Their Work.
Pittsburg. Pa, Oct. 23.-With the
worlds series games at an end and the
champions of the world known. a story
comes from Detroit to the effect that
the four umpires would like to make a
little extra change as a result of the
battles.
There are four umpires in question
Each received $500 and expenses for the
series, whether four or seven games
were played. which is certainly consid-
cred a good pot at the end of the sea-
son. Still. they want more. and, ac-
cording to all reports, were not slow In
asking for it.
Their demand is for a sum equal to
that which the members Of the losing
team gets out of the series, which in
this case will be at least $1,000. Their
demand looks exorbitant, but the jumps
have Joined the get-rich-quick club and
are out for the stuff. Still, good UNI
pire is worth every cent he earns, and
more, too. especially in series of this
kind; but, again, $1,000 reminds one of
the $4,000 purse that Jeffries wants to
meet johnson.
Bill KLEIN of the National league was
the man chosen to make the first break,
and he took the matter up before the
national commission. OF course, Garry
Hermann was the man seen, owing to
his generous deeds in the past. In dis
cussing the matter afterward Garry
said that he realized the importance OF
the demand.
1--WE shall hold a meeting to consider
this matter before paying out the
checks" continued Hermann. IT real
ize that good umpiring is very impor-
tant to the success of the series, but I
am taking no part in the discussion as
to raising the fees of the umpire in
this series. 1 think that is a matter
which is up to my two colleagues. I
shall leave 1t to them and will ac-
quiesce in anything upon which they
agree"
president Heydler did not seem to
be very much impressed with the sug-
gestion that the umpires get raise
amounting to 200 per cent.
when I was secretary of the
league he said, "I used to be glad to
go to the worlds series and take charge
of the business end, working hard all
| through the series for 5000. The UNI
| pires get twice that sum now and do
not have much work to do. 1t seems to
me that their demand is rather ex-
travagant Good umpires are neces-
sary, but it is mistake for. them to
suppose that anyone goes to the games
to see them work. People go to see the
players, not the umpires. though have
no doubt some officials think differ
ent''
Mr. Heydler is not in favor of boost
| ing the umpires' pay too high, and 1t
| will probably not be done. They will
have to be satisfied with the glory and
| the 400 bucks.
