Text | The most important legislation was that regarding umpires. It was decided to appoint four men at a salary of $1,000 a season. The umpires to be under the sole direction of the secretary of the League, and to report at games according to the order of the secretary, so that the clubs will not know who will umpire the game until the umpire reports for duty.... A bad feature of the League legislation, however, is the decree that all umpires shall be uniformed. It is not likely that any competent umpire will consent to be arrayed in costume, as his position is conspicuous enough without any extraneous adornment. |
