Not at all. When someone says, "hey ref!" or refer to "the refs," at least they would be correct.
Anyway, nice catch, Welpe. Obviously, I overlooked the original 13, but when you consider that referees and umpires had separate duties -- far different from today -- you wonder if the term "umpire" has long outlasted its use.
