GEORGE NOT WANTED.

George Blackburne, the red-faced,
balloon shaped umpire, who served in
the Southern league during the 1919
season, will be missing when the roll
is called next April.
There are many reasons why Black
burne is not going to receive an en-
core-too many, in fact, to be related
here.
His services were unsatisfactory.
Wen let it go at that.
Good umpires are the most valuable
asset that a league can possess. Poor
umpiring does more to keep fans away
from a ball yard han anything else.
The Southern league is going to have
as capable a set of umpires as can be
secured. At the recent meeting Of the
Southern in Memphis, every club own
er in the association went on record
as favoring the best arbiters that can
be secured, regardless of price.
1t is false economy of the rankest
sort when inefficient umpires are
signed, for they drive more dollars
away from the gate than would be re-
quired to pay a capable official.
