BY r. w. KENT.

Few men are better known In base
ball circles than Robert ID. Emslie, the
dean of the National league nInpires.
Mr.. Emslie is generally perfectly
#ccol and calm in the performance OF
his duties, and pretty nearly always
correct IN his decisions. and therefore
lis seldom the butt Of the merciless
joke writer's wrath. or the spite OF the
sdisgruntled crank, or the small boy:
Emslie has been connected with
the game for long number OF years,
having been successful pitcher prior
to his becoming an umpire. He was
born in Guelph, Ontario, on January
81, 1861. AS pitcher his first probes
sional position was with Camden, y.
J., in 1882. He was with the same
club in the Interstate Association In
1889. until the club disbanded In An.
gust of that year, when he finished
the season with the Baltimore club,
then a member OF the American As
sociation, which was a major league.
He remained with Baltimore through.
out the season of 1884 and part OF
1885. In 1886 he was with Toronto
in the international Association. In
1887 he joined the Savannah club and
remained with it until June i, when
he retired from the game as a play.
er and returned to his Canadian home.
He was offered position as an UNI
pire In the International Association
the same year. and assumed his du-
ties July / of that year, and remained
with that organization throughout that
season, as we'll as those Of 1888 and
1889.
This was the start of a work un'
equaled in length of service and eff
cheney. In 1890 he was with the
American Association, and in 1881
he was with the Western league. In
August of that year he was given a
position with the National league,
where he has been ever since, and
commencing this year, makes twenty
three consecutive years working as
an umpire in that organization. His
career as an umpire has been a bril-
liant one. He has a clear voice, and
is quick in making his decisions. His
long service in the major league Is
the best evidence that he has attend.
ed to his duties in an honest and
fearless manner. -
He once said of his career: Il stood

years back. when we had the Isimple

En,slie Is TIE Dean Of
National League Unlpires

[umpire is only on the field to be held
up to the ridieule OF the crowd and
they lose no opportunity Of showing
this. They viii kick over everything
with no conceivable idea Of what they
are kicking about, only they have a
notion that they must do something 70
cover up other shortcomings.
Some years ago writer had the
following to say about umpires:
.A minor league umpire has ev-
erything to contend with. He has to
deal with those young bucks who are
cut for the first time. and who think
it is part of the game to object to
every decision of the umpire. He
has the old-timers who cannot play
ball fast enough to keep warm, and
try to hold their jobs by showing mp
the umpire. What can the umpire
do? He. can fine them, and he can
put them out of the game, but very
small percentage of fines go in minor
leagues. and to put a man out OF the
game generally costs the poor abused
umpire his job
Mr. Emsfie worked with lot Of
men since beginning his career.
Among them were Tom Lynch, last
year president Of the National league
and an umpire that never umpired
game of ball on Sunday. The Ma
tional league did not play Sunday
ball in his days Tim Hurst, the
pugnaciGus, and one of the most popu.
lar men who ever wore mask; Jack
! MeQuaide, one of the most fearless
umpires, now dead; John Gaffney,
also dead; John HeydIer. now secre-
tary and treasurer of the National
league; Jim tombstone, whom Nc.
Graw locked out Of the Polo grounds;
Bill Beauty" Brennan, now umpire
in-ehief of the Federal league. In
1900 there was but one big league and
the umpires for that year were: Bob
EmsIie. Tommy Connolly, Hank
o'Day. Tim Hurst and Ed Smartweod;
Just fourteen years ago. Emslie we
find still in the National Connolly is
with the American league. Hank
O'Day is manager of the Chicago Ma
tionaIs. while the other two have
/ dropped the game entirely.
l. In closing. cfle cannot blame the au-
diences for getting after .umpires and
making it unpleasant for them In
the first place, there is an unjustified
prejudice against the umpire. Then
there is sympathy for the players. So
when an umpire gives decision that
is, not to the liking of the players
| a howl goes up against that official,
| for by the unwritten law, the home
players is always right in his conten-
items, while the umpire necessarily
must be wrong; else why is he an
umpire? l have seen SO many cases
where players, by their senseiess
kicking, have worked mp audiences
almost to a frenzy against urnpires,
when in reality the nmpires were en-
tirely right in their decisions and the
players. kicked simply to disguise
their own mistakes. There was 4
play in Seattle the first week OF the
season that caused much abuse to be
handed the umpire by the spectators.
