A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times
says:
PoTTsvILLE, August 15.-Umpire Nc
Catferty was not permitted to umpire to-
days game between the Anthracites and
Actives. Manager John A. Sullivan, acting
upon the advice of all good people, forfeited
the game to-day rather play it under Nc
Caterty ard run the risk of mob
violence. McCaferty's injustice In yester-
days game is unparalleled In the history of
base ball. He remained at his hotel since
yesterday and this afternoon quietly took a
BACK way to the grounds, to avoid meeting
any of the rougher element. Umpire Grif-
hths, whose day 1t was to umpire, but who
had recently traded with McCafferty, was
on the ground and offered to umpire to-day's
game, but the Actives would not agree to
this arrangement. They also refused to play
an exhibition game, whereupon the large
audience moved out of the grounds, receiv-
ing their money back as they passed through
the gate. Yesterday and to-day's games
will go to the Interstate Association under
protest. Some members of the Active club
conducted themselves in such an ungentle-
the proprietor requested them to leave,
which they did.
