End umpire baiting in baseball say editors
The piece urges Ford Frick and Will Harridge to curb umpire baiting and profanity from managers and players. It lauds umpires for honesty and skill over blame shifting, citing Southworth and Dyer and noting the Cardinals as aggressive on the field, not at umpires. It argues that fighting on the field, not by vilifying officials, should define the game.
