.EMSLIE AN ARBITER
TWENTY-NINE YEARS
Famous Umpire First Handled
Indicator in Parent League.
Fans Chidc Bob About His Wig and,
Tell Him He Is Blind as Bat, but
He Continues to Hold His Own
With Best of Them.

One of the pleasing bits of informa-
ton announced from the National
league offices last winter was the state
ment from John Heydler, president OF
the league, that Bob Emslie would be
retained as a regular umpire in the
coming season. A few years ago old
Bob was only substitute, but his
work has been so successful during the
last two seasons that Heydler did well
in putting him back on the regular
staff.
They may chide Bob about his wig,
writes Frederick G. Lieb, and tell him
he is "as blind as hat" but just the
same old Bob continues to hold his
own with the best.
The season Of 1919 marks Emslie's
twenty-ninth successive year as Ma
tional league umpire, as he came into
the league on August 10, 1891. On Au-
gust 10, 1915, the National league had
quite a celebration in honor Of his
twenty-fifth National league birthday.
Emslie is a Canadian and was born
in that extremely virtuous city Of
Guelph, Ontario, on June Fl, 1861.
Later in life Mr.. Emslie removed him
self and all his earthly belongings to
the lovely little city of st. Thomas,
Canada, where he now resides. 1t
was many, many seasons ago that
Emslie was first heard of in baseball.
Along in the late seventies q young
hurler was making great reputation
as an expert in making a baseball
curve and curve in a very deceptive
manner. Emslie soon gained recogni-
ton as one Of the best pitchers in
Canada, which, of course, was not say
Ing much, for there were few hurlers
cf class residing within the domains
of Queen Victoria at the period. i

Then came the battle of May 4, in

Kernels of corn were used instead
of money. Lopez lost several pecks of

In this way Steve won his release
from the bandits.
He concluded he had enough thrills
to last him for time, and started hik-

Loses Pennant on 1t.
Jack Chesbro was the first major
Lacquer to make much use of the spit
ter. He worked hard on 1t in 1904
when he was one of the New York
Yankee regulars. But Chesbro did
not get perfect control of it and lost
a game that might have given the
Yankees the pennant in 1904 by MAX
ing wild pitch in the ninth inning
OF the next to the last game Of the
season.
In recent years the spitball is not
used anywhere nearly so much as the
public believes. There are numerous
pitchers who can use it, but they do
not do SO regularly. 1t is merely
bluff most of the time when they seem
to moisten the ball. That serves to
keep the batsman guessing.
