UMPIRES DO WELL
ON FINANCIAL SIDE
Some Draw $9,000 and Ex
penses Per Season.
Umpires' salaries have risen along
with those of the players In the mujor
leagues In the last 20 years.
Twenty years ago, the top salary
for the good guesser was $1,500. He
paid his own living expenses, but the
league was sufficiently generous to
buy the railroad tickets. In those
days, by the way, a dollar was 100
cents, not 30 as In these high and
riotous modern times.
And while their money went a long
way In those days, no umpire wai able
to retire or buy large blocks of real
estate out of his salary. When the
campaign had run Its course, most of
them had to go to work ortce more
until April.
Nowadays, the high cost of umpires
Is a problem tn the majors, as well as
In the, minor leagues. A generation
ago, four umpires were sufficient.
Their combined salary amounted to
$0,000. To this Bum, the league had
to add $0,000 to $9,000 for traveling
expenses. A circuit could get along
on an outlay of from $12,000 to $15,
000 per season for umpires. ,
At present, each major league htis
a regular staff of eight umpires and'
usually carries two extra to provide
for emergencies. This change was
made necessary by the adoption of the
double umpire system some seasons
ago. The average salary Is $0JOOO.
Hotel and railroad expenses bring up
the average per man to $5,000 for the
season. Each league can hardly hope
to escape now wtthoqt a gross umplr#
expense of $100,0w to $110,000.
Recruit umpires, of course, are not
paid as irtuch as the regulars. The new
man usually starts at $3,500 and Is
raised year by year as his efficiency
warrants until his salary reaches the
$0,000 level. ? "
Such n salary, when It Is taken Into
consideration that he Is free from Oc
tober until April to engage In another
gainful occupation, should give the
average umpire sufficient funds to keep
from turning panhandler when the day
comes for him to quit baseball.
But sometimes, on a July afternoon,
when there are a lot of cloBe ones to
call, and the umpire must flght both
the' heated atmosphere and the torrid
temper of players who dislike to have
a declsloh go against them In a close
game, the hard-worked arbiter Is wont
to believe that the Job Is not worth
keeping at $100,000 bucks per annum.

Young and McBrlde ? Tell of Tour
Among Distributor*; Outlook Very
Good.
Columbia. ? Satisfactory arrange
ments have been clo6?d for co-opera
tive marketing of the South Carolina
peach crop, according to reportB made
to the executive committee of the
growers' asociatlon In Columbia by
the manager, T. B. Young, and the as
sistant manager, J. N. McBrlde, both
of Florida, who had recently visited
tho principal Northern distributing
centers and established desirable con
nections.'
Present at the meeting, which began
with luncheon at the Jefferson, were
the president of the association, A. Q.
Smith of Columbia, the vice president,
W. L, McCoy of McBee, and the sec
retary, A. E. Schllletter of Clemson
college, besides Messne. Young and
McBrlde and the following commit
teemen; W. M. Rowland of Meriweth
er, J. J. Cudd of Spartanburg and
Louis I. Guion of Lugotf.
Manager Young and Assistant Man
ager McBrlde on their trip north made
a circuit beginning at Washington,
going up as far as Boston and then
around by Rochester, Ftyiffalo, Cleve
land and Pittsburgh. They formed
trade connections not only for the
peach growers but for the dewberry
producers as well and carefully stud
ied market conditions.
Messrs. Young and McBrlde strong
ly believe in localization, or commun
ity specialization, in commercail pro
duction of berries and fruit. Unless
a neighborhood grows enough of a
given berry or fruit to make shipping
in car-lots practicable, they say, and
unless in fact that industry is domin
ant locally, complications arise, both
in production and in marketing. Mr
Guion goes further and says that in
tensive commercial fruit and berry
growing is hardly compatible locally
with general farming.
South Carolina first carlot shipment
of dewberries for the season was made
from tho Guion 50 acre tract at Lug
off, between Columbia and Camden;
the second from McBee, there the lar
gest acreage in the state is centered.
Beans Shipped From Klngstree.
Kingstree. ? So far this season 5 J
carloads of beans have been shipped
from this county under the direction of
the market bureau, which is sponsored
by the Kingstreo chamber of com'
merce. Bean shipments are finished,
or practically so, from this point and
many thousands of crateB, for which
there was no market, were hauled back
home by the growers and fed to'hogs.
Just now the bureau is busy chipping
potatoes and Mr. Mr. Batter, who is
in charge of the bureau, states that he
is receiving a fair price for the
tubers.
Program For Jersey Meet.
Greenwood ? The program for the an
nual meeting of the South Carolina
Jersey Cattle club and the dairy show
of the Greenwood County Jersey Cattle
club to be held here June 20, was com
pleted'- at a meeting. The date was
changed from the 13th to the 20th for
the convenience of the farmer-mem
bers who will be busy with their crops
during the next two weeks. County
Agent E .P. Gulledgo la expeoting be
tween 200 and 250 visitors hero for
the day.
The program calls for a business
meeting of the state club at the com
munity hall froto 11 ft. m. to 1.30 p.
m.; a barbecue at tho fair grounds
frqm 1:30 to 3; the dairy show at the
fair ground from 3 to 6 and a bancjuet
at tho community hall in the evening
at 8 o'clock.
Abbeville People Plan River Span
Abbeville. ? Plans were formulated
at a get together meeting at Calhoun
Falls of the Interested citizens In the
county for a temporary crossing of Sa
vannah river on the Calhoun highway
pending the permanent location of the
proposed Savannah River bridge. Tho
people of Calhoun Falls have deter
mined to build a road to Shuck Pen
Eddy, where vehicles will be trans
ported across the river without
charge.
The Elbert county (Georgia) authori
ties will build the road Into Elberton.
This means that the Calhoun highway
will be open to the public within a few
weeks.
