 LOWELL, Mass, Aug. 2.-Of course 1t was
 impossible to play yesterday, as 1t poured
 all Wednesday night and yesterday. Some
 of the streets in Lowell have been turned in-
 to small rivers. The weather is against ball
 playing and it seems as if the rain was doing
 its prettiest to break up the Atlantic associa-
 tion. But, rain or no rain, there is a much more
 interesting story to tell. Up to the present time but little has been said about Manager Henry of the Hartfords in the papers, as it was supposed that he would take warning from other episodes. People of New Haven are familiar with the scene that occurred on the ball field on July 4. He bulldozed poor Hopkins in New Haven and Wilkesbarre, and yesterday he tried this
 practice on Umpire James Kelly of New Ha- ven. For once this season he ran up against snag. Henry went out to the field with the idea all fixed in his head that Kelly would either give him everything or he would pro- test him. He made those boasts openly. It was ten inning game. In talking with a Lowell player he said that Kelly gave the Hartfords gosd share of the close decis- ions. But Henry wanted the earth or noth. ing. At one decision Henry rushed in and wanted to know what it was. "Out," said Kelly.
 "Is that so," was the response. "Yes; and If you don't get back in your position I'll fine you. You have no busi- ness up here anyway. You are not the caps | tain."
 "well. you won't fine me-" emphatioally declared Henry. "You daren't do it." "Mr. Henry, I'll see what effect $5 fine ! will have. Now go back to your position" !" After seeing that he could not bulldoze Kelly, and that he had been fined, Henry went back into center field. Later on, when Hartford player was de-
 clared out, Mann questioned the decision. quiet, too. Let the captain question de- | cisions."
 "well," said Mann, "you're pretty fresh duck anyway"
 "Thst will cost you s5," said Kelly. And Mann subsided, After the game there came near being @ | fight at the St. Charles Hotel, where the | Hartford club and Umpire Kelly are stop ping. People in the hotel tell me that Henry threatened to whip Kelly. An onlooker says: ! "Henry met Kelly on the stairs at the hotel | after the game and asked him, in rather an | insulting way, If those fines went. Ger ! tainIy," said Kelly. This evidently made Henry mad. He had expected to find anoth- CT Hopkins. "Those fines wont go," said Henry, "and furthermore, I'll have you re- moved as on umpire" "Remove me if you l will" said Kelly, "but those Gnes will go in | to the secretary"
 Henry here said that he thought he could | whip Kelly. eff you think you can, you can come right | upstairs and we'll try it," was the response. But Henry had changed his mind. It has come to pretty pass when man | on the field. who has no jurisdiction at all | over the men, can create such disturbance
 as Henry does in nearly every game the Hart ford's play. And yet the Hartford manage ! ment uphold him. Tom Forster is the cap. tain, and Henry has no right to say word while on the field.
 Forster was heard to say that he was glad Henry was fined, as the latter had no right to question a decision.
