Oshkosh Terribly Trounced.

Something over thousand people were
in the seats at West Seventh street park
yesterday afternoon when, few minutes
before the hour for calling the game UNI
pire Tindill stepped to the plate armed
with two new regulation league balls, and
ordered the Oshkosh and st. Paul teams to
get ready for play. Capt. Kinzie. of the
Oshkosh team, walked over to the players
bench and told Umpire Cavanaugh he must
umpire the game. Both umpires got into
position and both captains got into row.
Tindill flashed a paper with Secretary
GUMS signature to it giving him authority
to umpire. Then Cavanaugh rushed over
to his coat and drew forth a document
signed by the same official ordering him to
umpire the game. Here was a pretty
kettle of fish. Oshkosh insisted on having
Cavanaugh and ST. Paul Tindill. Man
ager Barnes asserted that Cavanaugh
had beaten him out of three
games ON the Wisconsin trip and he
would not have him officiate ON the St.
Paul grounds He produced letter from
Treasurer Putnam. of Eau Claire. who
said Cavanaugh'S work was so unsatis-
factory to Eau Claire on Wednesday that
McGinley's services were secured on Thurs
day. Mr.. Barnes then ordered a policeman
to eject Cavanaugh from the grounds, but
when the copper started out with his man
the Oshkosh players followed declaring
they would not play without their umpire.
Umpire Tindill called the game to in
favor of st. Paul. and Umpire Cavanaugh
to in favor of Oshkosh. The Oshkosh
players then
TOOK THEIR CARRIAGES
to leave the grounds. Manager Barnes at
this moment said he would allow Cayan-
augh to umpire rather than disappoint the
crowd. although he was entirely opposed to
his acting in that capacity. The game
then proceeded, st. Paul going to bat, Dur
yea and Sage being the home battery,
and Harper and Gasttield for the visitors.
st. Paul scored two runs in the first in
ming on two bases on balls, a wild pitch and
errors by short and catcher; three more in
the third on hits by Wilmot and McShannic,
and on errors by center field and catcher;
three more in the fourth on two bases on
balls. a three Dagger by Cleveland, and an
error at short; another in the seventh on
hits by Adams and O'Brien and steal, and
three more in the ninth Oh hits by McShan-
mic and Tray, errors at first and second
and tielder'S choice. Oshkosh scored only
in the second inning. when Hillery and
Hoy crossed the plate on a
double and two singles, with a
passed ball sandwched between.
after this but two hits were made and but
three men reached first base. The batting
of the home team was heavy, Cleveland
hitting the ball high over the left-field
fence, OBrien getting three fine singles
and McShannic two. AS usual, Wilmo
led in the run-getting. making the circuit
the first three times at bat. The fielding
of the whole team was excellent. The
visitors got very little show at the bat. thu
last four in the list being called to the plate
but three times each. Their fielding. too
was wretched, fifteen errors being charged
up against them. GastfieldS throwing tt
second, however. was greatly admired
The score is as follows:
