Our Senior has had large experience as Umpire in some of the most important games played during the last ten years, and he says the first impression should govern the Umpire. The decision should be quick, and given in a loud voice. Whether right or wrong, an instantaneous decision settles the question as to the honesty and sincerity of the Judge. The talk about giving decisions in favor of runner or of ball, ahs long since gone out of fashion. Every Umpire makes mistakes–but, he who decides quickly, is generally esteemed above suspicion.
