Text | [The] theory that umpires must be looked upon as infallible and all their decisions received with either applause or respectful silence, whether right or wrong, and that newspapers have no right to criticise or condemn umpires, is silly twaddle. The newspapers have a perfect right to criticize umpires and will continue to exercise that right despite the senile bosh of old man Chadwick. Reporters have been the cause of sending numerous umpires this season to more congenial work and will continue to do so until fair, honest and competent umpires are selected. |
