Letters o The Editor'
WHAT IS ' AN UMPIRE FOR?
• The' life of an Umpire, in his
official capacity, is a short. one,
but not. nearly so short as it
should be, or would be were :our
sporting activities conducted un-
der. a system of proportional re-
presentation, so "far as his election.
to office is concerned; .or were
his badge '. of authority„ . alloted.
him on the ;basis' of • universal
suffrage,and he was,' "in':addition
made .. subject to inunediate ;,
call att,• anytithe 'withou n'o ce,
Long', long ago '"I •tame. to the
conclusion , that • " something very
drastic should be done : about
Umpires, something of a- .tightiy
constraining • nature. I; . myself,
am disposed to 'think that an "off
with his': head" 'command. would:
be • strictly in , order•, 'besides be-
ing '.inordinately�' merciful, and
.tastefully appropriate. The head
he :Carries anyway is no good,
and he would be 'very. much :bet-
ter off Without it. •
I remember at .:a footbail"game
in Scotland hundreds of • year's
ago, my kid brother, who was six
Year's younger, . than 1, . and nine
years all told, "asking me . very
earnestly "What does . ;the : itm-
pre re4,11y : do? What : is. e' for _
'Nova, as to what he is for, that
is' : easily. answered:, Beyond.. per-

Cannot . understand: But . t'here' it,

P.S. The time is now' ripe for:
the removal of my mental mask.
I •.confess• unashamedly ;that, tho'
I have. written of Umpires in the
first person, 'what' .I have said of
them ' was simply an. endeavour`
to portray in clear understand-
able .language .somewhat of the
savage mouthings which ; •rny
burning' ears have,: en subject-
ed to by a section , of , Fan4om
,which ist always j'agin" the Urn-,
Tire.' In their opinion the Umpire
is: to blame 'when their favorites
lose, and 'even when . they.' win
he . is to. blame 'because their win
was not.. decisive 'enough: Now -in
My 'Opinion Umpires` are .4 brave,
,brainey''•bunch of fellows who: re-
gardi their duty as. a sacr'.ed trust,:
Indeed I go further, I . will, not
even , admit that .they :make this-;
takes Sometimes •. they may.; be•

MAKE mistakes. Here's long life
•to them, anddamnation to. their
detractors °
