THE STAR’S PANORAMA OF BASE BALL A Pictorial Highlight History of the National Game (Copyright, 1923, in U. S. and Great Britain by North American Newspaper Alliance. All rights reserved.) NO. 14—THE EMPIRE OF THE UMPIRE. We present here some pictures of the umpire, showing how the development of the national game was indelibly stamped upon his features. When the papers of old were scornfully reproaching the ball player for his professional- ism, the umpire, in frock coat and top hat, was upholding the gen- tlemanly aspects of the game. He s doing more than that; he keeping a safe distance from any possible damage to his hat from the fly ball. The umpire, in days of old, was statuesque and had an eye for pose. The Beadle Dime Base Ball Player for 1860 waxed eloguent about him. The words are those of Father Chad- scientific point where their de- cisions are like iron. In the old Knickerbocker score books you will find frequent marginal notes against a player's name—‘“fined by the umpire.” This was 'way back in 1845, showing that what- ever czaristic temper the umpire may have is a traditional one, and much needed in tight places, where his opinion differs from that of a player to the extent of heated collar and strong lan- guage. And there is a moral stamina needed for the umpire, when the grandstand disagrees with him and the world is one great enemy and a jeer.
