ANOTHER INTERRUPTION,
-Four runs, none OF them earned, how.
ever, had been scored, and the crowd
was happy; but it is to be said to It's
credit that It contained itself admirably,
There were several longdrawn signs and
"Ah's" OF satisfaction that sounded like
the escaping Of some iar.oR gas well,
but there was no cheering. II was es-
peCially hard to keep quiet when thinner
bit out that two-base hit
The absence OF the noisy coachers
with their cries OF "Now you're oil"
"slide! sl.i.d.el" and other pet express
sions, together with the silent audience,
made it all seem very strange,
The first three Dayton men at bat
went ont in q one, two, three order,
Williams went out on an assist by Miller
to Speidel. Cans was put out on a
groander by Speidel, unassisted, and
Uhrisman flew out to Meehan, who was
in right field,
Kennedy was in good shape, and
Wheeling was almost certain 10 have
won the game, but at this junctuTe there
was an interruption that put a stop TO
any further playing.
Justice OF the Peace George Arkle had
been sittingi in the directors box, attend.
ed by Constables "CuTly" Lauchlin and
Pate st, Myers, Squire Arkle beckoned
To Sheriff Steenrod and John Whyte,
one OF his deputies, who were seated in
the grand stand, They responded, ap.
parently somewhat reluctantly, and
were asked to assist in arrGsting the play
ers, which as officers they had to do.
Lauchlin and st. Myers did the active
work, however, They sailed out into
the field and soon had the nineteen once
more under arrest,
There were no warrants, but the ar
rests were made ION view" under the
same charge that Squire Phillips had
made his arrests a few minutes before,
AS o o Us the crowd realized what
was up they threw oil the restraint they
had put on themselves and became mad
and noisy. LauChlin appeared to DO the
special object OF their wrath, and he was
Kissed and ieered at on every side,
TIE CROWD MAD,
The grand stand occupants shouted,
"Why don't you go oyer to town and
close the saloons that are run wide open
every sundayW
"Why don't you stop the Sunday con-
certs and beer drinking at the ParkP"
"Whats wrong with Seibert's?"
These and other queries were shouted
out many times. There were others
who wanted some one else TO hit LAUGH
lin with a brick, OF brain him with a
base ball bat. Indeed, so belligerent
did the crowd become ut one time that
had it not been for tho counsel Of the
cool heads, some heads would probably
have been broken,
The players were finally gotten by
Lauchlin and those he had deputixed to
assist him, though tho dense crowd that
overlooked the diamond, to their dress
Ing room, where they we're allowed time
to change their clothes, and then marched
over to Squire Ankles office oil Four

As the officers started with their pris-
oners down to the skiif ferries they
we're met by nearly all the crowd, and
agaip things looked saually, but COOL
headed friends Of the club prevented the

Reaching this side Of the river, 1t was
developed that Hon. j. B. Sommeryille
who had had n seatin the directors box,
was to act as the prosecutor. Mr.. j.
Dallas Ewing appeared for the Associa.
ton. After some discussion oyer legal
points among Themselves, thege two
agreed that q hearing should be had at
10 o'clock this morning. After some
further parleying the players were re.
leased on their own reCognizance In the

A vast crowd gathered outside the
office Of Squire Ankle and discussed the
situation very aminatedly for some time
after, aud last evening was the talk Of
the town.
