OF the several veterans who lorded
1t over major league diamonds last
season, the oldest in point Of service.
was Robert D. Emslie. This week
marked the ffty.fourth anniversary
of the birth of the dean of major
league umpires. Emslie made his
mundane debut in Guelph, Ont, and it
was there that he absorbed that en-.
thusiasm for the American national
pastime that made him famous in
later years. The Royal City, Of
Canada, while little more than a vii.
|lage, was from the beginning of the
game a red.hot baseball; center. Many
old.time fans can recall the fam OF the
old Guelph Maple Leafs Of the ,70s.
The old Leafs" were charter mem.
bers Of the first international League,
which was launched in 1877.
Emslie broke into the professional
baseball game in 1882, when he was
engaged as a pitcher by the Camden,
n. j., club. The following year he
twirled for the Baltimores, and in
1884 he was one Of the star pitchers
of the old American Association. It
was more than a quarter Of a century
ago that Emslie started his career as
an umpire. For three years he fol.
lowed the clubs Of the old Inter:
national circuit; and then spent a
year with the American Association
and another annum with the Western
Association.
It was in 1s1 that Emslie was
signed as an umpire by the National
League and began the career a big
league arbiter which has never been.
surpassed in length or devotion to.

Few ball players have worn the
uniforms Of as many different clubs

Nobody for a moment believes that the

When the republicans were in power
the tanks on top OF the building were
kept fun OF water for use OF the depart
ment clerks. but since the democrats
have come in they have allowed the tanks
to become dry because they were afraid
they might burst and flood the build
