During the season OF 1885 the strain
or pitching these amazing benders began
TO tell on the throwing wing of Robert
ana Tor the first time during his career
as hurler he found himself at the
mercy of the batsmen. Emslie closed
his days as big league pitcher with
the Athletic club Of Philadelphia, In the
latter part OF 1885.
While with the Toronto club of ths
old International League in 1885 Ems
lie gave signs Of regaining his pitching
arm and effectiveness by winning twelve
out or the ;'rst sixteen games. This was
mere flash in the pan, for when his
big league reputation wore off and the
opposing batsmen discovered that the
once great Emslie hadn't much left of
his former skill, only a very graceful de-
livery and pleasant smile, they banged
his slow delivery in every direction.
Started in the International.
In the season of 1887 Enslie signed
with the Memphis club Of the Southern
League in hopes that the baImy winds
OF the South would restore the strength
10 his pitching arm. but the heartless
batsmen of the sunny South made II SO
hot for Bob that he shook the skinned
diamond dust from off his feet and made
Tor good old Canada. Emsle didn't
nave a chance to rest much from base
Dali, Tor on July /. 1887, he began his
duties as umpire in the International
League and remained in that circuit as
umpire until the end Of 1889
In the year 1890 Emslie had his first
experience in umpiring ball games in the
select circles of balloon. That season
he did duty on one OF the STATS OF um-

the year 1891 the Western League was.
after fashion. n major league organi-
cation and all its umpires were under
the national board OF control, and Emslie
was appointed as one OF the etafr to
render decisions in that body. Up until
midsummer Robert performed nobly. so
nobly In fact that on August 10 he was
transferred to the old National and at
Cincinnati on that date Robert Emslie
began his career as a National League
umpire and has reported for duty every
season since.
For over quarter OF a century the
famous umpire has handed out decisions
In the parent league. At the least esti-
mate Emslie has rendered $4,000 de-
cisions in that time. If It were possible
to ascertain just how many genuine
kicks were made during that period Il
would be possible to figure UP Bob's
average as an umpire.
