The game of Sept. was passed upon
| first. After hearing the statement from
Mr.. Won Der Abe and Capt. Comiskey OF
| 7 Il. r i
| of Milligan, Mccarthy and Chamberlain of
st. Louis, Mr.. Byrne Of the Brooklyns pre-
seated the affidavits of Umpire Fred Gold
smith, all the Brooklyn PLAYERS, and of rep
sentatives of the New York press present
at the games in question and also of the tel
egraph OF orators.
THE POINT AT STAKE.
The point to be decided was whether
| Umpire Goldsmith was warranted in the
decisions he gave. All the testimony was
as to whether it vas light enough to pro-
| coed with the game on the 7th. Before the
decision was pronounced in this case the
Sunday game of Sept. 8 was taken up,
| the one in which the st. Louis
club is charged with having refused
to go to Ridgewood park to play. Both
mines offered mucl ties imony. That of St
| Louis was their fear of violence from the
crowd. Against this Mr.. Byrne's affidavit
was presented that Won Der Ane agreed to
play provided the forfeited game of the day
before should be played off.
A COMPROMISE.
After a long consultation the board of
directors decided upon sort of compro-
mise, awarding Saturdays game to the st.
| Louis club, and remitting the fine on the
| ground that Umpire Goldsmith's decision
was wrong As to Sundays game the
