INKS WAS VERY WILD
But the Umpire Was q Great Deal
Worse Than He.
The CiNUCKS WIS The SECOND CANE
they Gain Very Loosely Played contest
The Third Annual summer Meet
Ins OF the Grand Rapids
Horsemen's Association.

"You can just about put up every
thing you have got that We are going
TO win this game" said Short Stop
Casey, who halls from French settle
ment called Montreal, which Is situated
on the 81. Lawrence river, Is be was
getting out OF the buss at the Fountain
81. Park yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Casey, who, by the way, is brother OF
the redoubtable Monkey" Casey, who
earns somewhere in the vieinity of
$1,000 year pitching in-shoors for the
Syracuse Stars. could not explain his
reasons for making such an expression,
except that the Montreal's had the nee
essary amount of ginger To get there
when they wanted TO.
During the first innings Of the game,
however, il looked as If Mr.. Casey's
pred ctions would be case of mis-
placed confidence, and the sturdy
shortstops lower lip looked as If II had
gone on a vacation when he made an
error that was not IN the leastwlse ex-
cusabe. Foulkard and LatoUche seemed
to catch the infection, and the result
was that three errors were credited up
TO Montreal III the short space OF two
minutes. At tins iuncture 1t looked rs
ii the Grand Rapids boys were going 10
be presented with the game then and
there. Poor base running was the
cause of the score being a blank III this
inning, and by the time our boys began
to realize it the ginger commenced 10
assert itself in the visitors, and Short
stop Casey's lower lip was seen TO re-
turn to its natural position.
Grand Rapids did not play up to Their
usual standard. Umpire Hengle. an
elongated individual, with very slim
waist and very thin voice, made some
very rank decisions which helped the
Montreals very materially. lie was
decidedly off on balls and strikes, es-
pecially when Grand Rapids was at bat.
In one instance he called ball falr
that struck at least two feet foul.
This decision only yielded two bases.
The Montreals did not take kindly to
his style of umpiring either, and IN the
sixth inning Cartwright demonstrated
with hlm. Hengle waved his hand for
silence. but Cartwright did not take the
hint and he now owes So to the league
treasury.
Inks was wild and erratic, but Nc
MahOn played a great game behind the
bat, making several fine stops. Quinn,
who was playing poorly, was taken SICK
i'll the fifth inning and was relieved by
Whalen in hesIxth. McMahon played
fine game at short, accepting nine
chances out of 4 possible ten. Some
sharp double plays were made by both
sides.
Grand Rapids made their only run In
the fifth inning. Inks landed the ball
to left field for a single and AndTus sent
the sphere on an excursion in the same
direction. Sales fumbled McMahon's
grounder and Andrus scored.
The Montreals won the game in the
fifth inning on errors by the home club.
The fun was started by Meister. vino
made poor throw of Twohy's
grounder. Latouche made a hit too not
for Mcmahon to hold, and the bases
were full. Powell hit a grounder to
Quinn and Twohy was put out at the
plate. Quinn tried to play lawn tennis
with CaSey's grounder, and Latouche
scored. He finally got his hand on the
ball and threw it to Meister, but the
third baseman muffed it, and Cart
wright trotted across the rubber. The
inning was finally ended with q sharp
double play.
Montreal made their last runs in the
seventh inning on a two-bagger by La
touche, singles by Powell, Casey and
Hulin, assisted by wild pitch. The
score:
