out Of their nine to umIi>e for them
they had no show to win. From that
time on their who efforts were putforth
to fluid some chance to raise row and
jump the game so as to give them en-
excuse 10 draw their money that they
had bet on tie game. Their head
Moguls, Bishop, Mclndoe and Squfes
instructed the other players to find or
make a chance for a row and that
quickly forif FIVE Innings were played
it would constitute Il game and their
money would be lost. IN the further
ance OF the scheme the ticket seller
was instructed, On the first appear
ance OF any row to skip for town
town with the gate money TO pre-
vent the possibility CT being obliged
to refund it to the people who had
paid to see n game OF bail and who
were to be cheated out Of that rrlvi-
lege. Their dirty scheme worked to
perfection in all its details. In the
last half OF the third inning with
Eagle River to the bat In0rp on
second base when JOrd0n hattel a
hot oronndcr dicoctIy over second
base. Cohen who was PLAYING, short
stop for the Rhine!anler instead OF
running for the bah ruu directly up

n,nyent his upiao. G1v3 10 T'hitll but
he was to light and Thorp threw
him out OF the way and run down To
Third and and started in home. The
bah was thrown in home but not

and Jordon reached Third This

McIudoe and Souircs were luol<ing
for. They came II clyi aing that
Thorn had interferea with one Ct
their PLAYERS ana refused to play any
more and took their men Off OF the
ground AT tbs first sign Of trouble
the ticket seller left for down town
with the gate money as he Lad been
instructed to and when the disgusted
crowd clammored for tho return of
their money OF course it could not be
got. 1t was q dirty contemplate
trick and McIndOe and Bishop have
both admit it and their only excuse
was that Rhinelander had to much
money upon the game they could not
afford to loose. Says McIndoe had
ten dollars upon the game myself.
At the time the game broke up the
score stood two to three in favor OF
Eagle River and the contingent from
here claimed that under the circum-
stances they had won the game by
all ofrules base ball by ascore of9 too
and that they had won their bets but
