UMPIRES DO WELL
ON FINANCIAL SIDE
Some Draw $4,000 and Ex-
penses Per Season.

Umpires' salaries have risen along
with those of the players in the major
leagues in the last 20 years
Twenty years ago. the top salary
for the good guesser was 81, 500 He
paid his own living expenses, but the
league was sufficiently generous to
buy the railroad tickets In those
days by the way, a dollar was 100
cents. not 80 as in these high and
riotous modern times
And while their money went a long
way in those days, no umpire was able
to retire or buy large blocks of real
estate out OF his salary. When the
campaign had run its course, most Of
them had to go to work once more
until April.
Nowadays, the high cost Of umpires
is a problem in the majors, as well as
In the minor leagues A generation
ago, four umplres were sufficient.
II cir combined salary amounted to
$4,000 To this sum, the league had
to add $4,000 to $4,000 for travelling
expenses. A circuit could get along
on an outlay Of from $4,000 to $751;
600 per season for umpires.
At present each major league has
a regular staff Of eight umpires and
usually carries two extra to provide
for emergencies. This change was
made necessary by the adoption Of the
double umpire system some seasons
ago The average salary is $4,000
Hotel ana railroad expenses bring mp
the average per man to 5000 for the
season Each league can hardly hope
to escape now without a gross umpire
expense Of 100000 to $4,000
Recruit umpires, Of course, are not
paid as much as the regulars. The new
man usually starts at $500 and Is
raised year by year as his efficiency
warrants until his salary reaches the
$4,000 level
such salary, when Il is taken into
consideration that he is free from 0c-
tober until April to engage in another
rainful occupation. should give the

Eight Spitballers on
Major League Teams

How long will it be before
the spitball becomes a thing of
the past in the major leagues?
When legislation was passed
against the use of the splitter
q twirlers in the big show
we're using it.
These pitchers were given the
right to continue its use adur-
ing the remainder Of their ca
reer In the majors.
The number of pitchers still
using the moist delivery has
dwindled to eight. Seven of
them are right-handers, one a
southpaw
In all probability Urban
Shocker Of the Browns will be
the last to pass out. Shocker
has a great repertoire aside
from the spitball, which he
uses only occasionally.
No pitcher in the major
leagues mixes them up more
than Shocker, conserving his
strength at all times.
