Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 23.-The Chicagos re-
turned from Detroit this morning in any
thing but pleasant frame of mind. The
cause of their wrath was the filming of
Capt, Anson in yesterdays game and the
umpire's strong partisan feeling in favor Of
the Wolverine club. The boys say that
While they made some mistakes, their errors
would not have lost them the two last
games had Gaffney ruled as an impartial
umpire should have done. They complain
bitterly OF his discrimination ON balls and
strikes, and assert that had he been fair
the results would have been different.
Gaffney, they say, has umpired in all the
games played on the Detroit grounds
thus far. and has favored the home
team in every contest. He has been
wined and dined, given carriage rides and
been presented with flowers by friends Of
the Detroits until he has become biased in
their favor. Concerning the filming of Capt.
Anson, they say that when the big first
baSeman left his position to ask about a
ruling at second base, and before he had
opened his mouth. Gatfnsy said: 'Iu fine
you So" The captain then
ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION
when Gaffney, without answering said:
Fifty dollars more" Then Arson talked
very plainly to him. when he was fined an
additional $50. Kelly was also fined $40
for standing too near the coaching line. To
this procedure Mike objected. when Gafney
told him that ii he repeated the act the fine
would stand. Kelly is assistant captain
ald had a perfect right to stand on the line
and coach the basemen, while Arson

Gatfney had declared man safe at second
when Pfeffer and the runner himself says
he was touched four feet from the base.
The matter will be reported to President
Young.

They outplayed US in the three games.
Why, we only won the first through excellent
management and team work. The Detroits
were playing on their own grounds and had
the eclat of success and played ball from the
word go. The few of the boys whom I have
seen since their return say that Gaffney's de-
cisons favored the Detroits; that he has UNI

this season and has become local favorite,

saw Saturdays game and / thought the UNI
piring very fair. He may have erred in
calling balls and strikes, but he made no
really obnoxious decisions. The boys were
outplayed; that's about the size Of it.
Oarsmen i'm the City,
Gaudaur and Hanm. who will take part
in the race at White Bear lake on Saturday,
are at the lake taking their regular exer-
else. Both were in the city yesterday and
appear to be in splendid condition. Gaud-
aur is a large man, not stocky. and but
six feet high and as hard as bone. Both
of these men appear very much pleased
with the lake and anticipate big crowd.
Teemer will arrive in st. Paul this morn
ing from Pittsburg and go directly to the
lake, where he will remain till the race is
over. At 10 o'clock Gaudaur and Hamm
take their morning exercise and at in the
afternoon they have another turn at the
oars. Possibly Teemer will exercise with
them this afternoon. The proposed anna
teur race will not take place as was at first
intended.
