Before the game Was called Umpire Nc
Cue insisted upon Captain Hassamer. Of the
Portands, paying the three IS fines placed
against him for back talk upon the diamond
last Sunday. whsn Whitaker was called
down for the Illegal delivery Of . ball. Has
samsr not only protested against McCue's
decision, but insulted the umpire three
times and was fined s. for each offsnse.
Hassamer not only talked back
on the diamond. but afterward went
I o McCue and threatened to punch his
bead. The penalty for licking the umpire
Is TO be placed upon the "blacklist," which
shuts the player out Of MI leagues playing
under the national agreement and this
probably kept Portiand's big shortstor
from carrying "a his threat.

are hopeful Of winning at least

II is quite probable that the SeattIes will
return here for two games on ths Fourth
of July and the Sunday following. The
players are anxious to come.
