Isn't it about time for the maj,
or league presidents to wake up
to the situation they are creating
by the employment Of incapable
umpires?
From practically every city
around the circuit has come crit
cism this year Of the decisions OF
the umpires in both leagues. Some
of these have been so persistent
that they deserve more than pass
ing attention.
Perhaps the most fragrant case
this year is that Of "Lord' Byron.
At least half a dozen times this
year Byron has been in more or
less less serious trouble.
The famous McGraw incident at
Cincinnati a couple months ago
was the most notorious case. In
cidentally McGraw was wrong in
protesting the way he did when
he left the field but as an UNI
pire Byron had the right to ap-
peal to President Tener rather
than make remarks rejecting on
