Judge, umpire (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arbiter

I believe this is a double definition.

'judge' is the first definition.
(I know that arbiter is a type of judge)

'umpire' is the second definition.
(I know that umpire can be written as arbiter)

(Other definitions for arbiter that I've seen before include "One judges a disputed issue" , "One decides in disputes" , "Source of authority" , "One must exercise judgment" , "Ref" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
