| Text | [from an interview of Young] There is no doubt in my mind that the patrons of the game would be better pleased with two umpires than one, and the experience of this season has demonstrated this fact to my entire satisfaction. Not that there is any objection to the staff of League umpires as it exists to-day, so far as the officials of the League are concerned, for we think our selections for these trying places have all endeavored to do their duty conscientiously and without favor to home or visiting clubs, as often alleged. But there is a demand for two umpires which cannot be ignored, and for my part I shall favor eight good men being chosen for these places next year. It will not do to have home umpires. That experiment has been tried too often and invariably resulted in more evil than good. What is required is to have an octette of umpires who shall be subject to orders as at present, and thus all talk of favoritism will be reduced to a minimum. |
