Glenalvin Charged Umpire KeDermOtt With
Fraud and the Last Game Broke

Big Bill Everett Of San Jose kick ed the
ball: Captain Glenalvin of Portland gave
Biz Bill a sudden, swift and silent kick on
a spot originally designed by nature for that
purpose, and then, before that sweet and
holy calm which generally follows greatmen-
tai excitement had time to soothe the ruf-
hed spirits Of the athletes. Umpire Nc
Dermott of the Pacific Northwest got in
his work; Glenalvin kicked again, this
time over tie traces, and the Pacific Coast

Another factor which tended 10 mar the

Glenalvin tried to have justice done in the
lower court but falling he took a change Of
venue to Sheridan, who was making inn
p0rtant rulings behind the plate. The Port
land captain walked in from the field fol-
lowed by his men, and while they we're
talking TO Sheridan Big Bill sneaked in
from third base with the winning run.
GlenaIyn then called his men together
and left the grounds, giving as his reason
that he did not propose to submit to bold
faced robbery. The crowd then swaTmed
into the diamoIA1 and after several minutes
the game was declared forfeited. Glen
alvin probably knew whereof he spoke.
