twenty doubles, SIX three-ba@gers and
seven home runs. Big Thompson had

Doran, OF the Eau Claire club, batted
ball over the left field fence and ran very
slowly around the bases. In the mean
time one of the home team went outside
ana helded the ball in to the home plate in
ample time to put out the base runner.
The run, however, was counted, estab-
fishing the fact that ball batted over
the fence, legally, is necessarily a home

made personal complaint to Umpire
McQuade about his decisions. McQuade's
umplrlng here was very good and Charles

that he had been intimidated by the Sa.

this assertion, and McQuade admitted In
the presence OF two or three of
the Charleston players that he

before the season opened, might make him
personally somewhat unfriendly toward
