Omaha daily bee., 1909-08-15

most of them have been directed against
managers. The umpiring hasn't been SO
awfully good that the umpires can claim
any special credit for zeal on their part.
1t is simply the disposition Of the players
to let the judges of play alone, and IL they
do say anything to them to poke fun at
them rather than abuse them. 1t is true
there are some umpires who haven't any
sense of humor. II they had IL would be
difficult to get one or two Of them to go
on the field.
Broadly speaking, the days Of umpire
batting seem to be waning. Now and
then there is a sporadic outbreak of clamor
and hullabaloo, but it doesn't last. If the
umpires are very bad there is hope that
they will strike an equitable average
somewhere, and If hey are very good no
one wants to say anything.
1t would be we'll II some Of the spectators
would accept the situation in the same
light. There has been so much written in
fun about abusing the umpire that some
of the younger element of New York who
are desperately fond of base ball, but
accept American humor with a grim sense
of seriousness, look upon the Judge Of play
as an enemy to all mankind.
