Umpire Ed Hurley fights AL retirement rule
Ed Hurley of Holyoke mass claims the American League forced his retirement at 55 after 18 years as an umpire. Also retiring were Joe Paparella and Bill McKinley with pensions about 5000 a year. President Cronin says the move followed a league proposal to lower retirement age and fund a pension plan with 300000 from owners. He plans to pursue the case with the commissioner or an attorney.
