The game between the Milwaukee and
st. Paul clubs yesterday, owing to the
ignorance of the game of ball Of Umpire
Gallagher, was the most unsatisfactory and
annoying league contest that has been wit
messed here this season. The work of this
new official was unsatisfactory to both
clubs, but it SO happened that it hurt the
home club the worse. He had no concep-
ton OF balls and strikes. and from Begin
ming to end it was mere matter of chance
what he called them. He was Just as
Liable to call a ball strike or the reverse,
as he would have done had he been blind,
and when men were running bases he evil
IDENTIFY had no idea of what his duty was
The result was that he decided when a
claim was made without knowing what the
fact was. 1t is useless to go through the
list of blunders he made and point out how
he was wrong. Twenty-Five hundr ed peo-
pie saw his laundering ignorance illustrated
yesterday afternoon. Fortunately we will
have no more of it. We could not have
anything worse.

and Doherty took third. Daily attempted
to steal second and Sage sent the ball down
in time to catch him. but the umpire de-
clared the base runner safe. In the meantime
Doherty came in. Everybody protested,
and the disgust at the work of the umpire
was so emphatic and universal that Mr..
Barnes came out on the ground and re-
quested the audience to keep as quiet as
possible and allow the game to go on,
promising at the same time that it was the
last time that Gallagher would be permitted
to umpire. In the last inning Holmes hit
to Frazee who fumbled the ball, and then
threw low to first, giving the base runner a
life. Isaacson hit to left field and McCul-
lom to right, which brought in Holmes and
closed the run getting for Milwaukee. Fol-
lowing is the score:
