Curb on Umpire Baiter
The life of a big league umpire in
these days is pretty easy, compared to
what it used to be twenty years ago.
There are occasional incidents, of
course, in which the arbiter is fnauled
by some strong-armed but weak
headed player. But it used to be the
rule some time ago.
When the American league made its
bow, howewer, Ban Johnson took a firm
stand In favor of the umpires, and
ball players felt the heavy hand when
they went on the warpati.
At least one bull player was re
leased from the American league for
striking an umpire with his fist, and
other athletes fined and suspended for
outbursts. Now the noble athlete
hardly may call his soul Eis own. But
it Is all for the hest,
