Text	[quoting Young] I wish the League had given me the power to appoint the official scorers. Under the new classification rules, they will be as important to the success of the game as the umpires. If I had the appointment of them, I would select men and not allow the clubs to know who they were . That is, I would have the League buy the tickets from each club, so the scorer would be independent, and not under obligations to the club he represented. Of course the clubs would eventually find out who was their official scorer, but I think it ought to remain a secret as far as possible. I do not approve of a corps of traveling scorer, although I am aware that each man favors the home time some. That is only natural, and is evened up throughout the season, when the club is away from home.
