Support L Umpires!

Of all the foolish moves thar have
been made at one time or another
by the National League magnates, it
IS doubtful II there has been anything
more pUeriIe than the talk of leaving
the retention OF dismissal Of an UNI
pire to the majority vote Of club
owners
If there has been one thing more
than another that has made the Amer
fcan League an unqualified success
Il has been the absolute support
which Ban Johnson has always given
his umpires. If there were complaints
he dleo them away until he could
personally look over his staff and.
If he <ognd them well founded. he has
not hesitated TO release the errOring
arbitrator On the other hand II
there was a dispute between owner
and um pire, he has not presumed
that the magnate was right, but de-
cided the case wholly on its merits
In this policy he has commanded the
respect Of club president, umpire. and
public
Rent as it IS by Internal dissensiOn.
the National League cannot at this
time adopt a policy that would allow
the warning factions 10 show their
displeasUre toward the head Of the
organization BY attempting 10 make
light of the work Of the men appoint
ed by him TO conduct the game
In electing Tom Lynch for only one
year, the National officials handicapped
their leader by making his term too
short 10 effectively bring about changes
that would work for the betterment OF
the league. but Il is 10 be hoped that the
better element VIII prevail on the Ques-
ton OF the umpiTes, and thai Lynch vii
