frinters' Ink Wins Another Game-Um-
pfre March Criticised.
TACOMA, May 2S.-[Special. Painfully
unpleasant discussions arose at today's
game between Tacoma and Spokane.
Printers Ink Lucid was again put in the
pitchers box by the visitors, while Borch-
ers was up for Tacoma, and was winning
his game by careful. judicous work, when
the disposition Of pretty nearly everybody
was to have Umpire March steady down to
very small doses his creditable work of
eliminating snarling, unmannerly kicking
from the games at which he presides.
His good work in this line eliminated in
disposition on the part of players and
the bleachers to kid" him. Still Mr..
March, barring tribe too much of the
autocrat. was zealously pursuing his de-
sire to improve the game. When Good.
enough came to bat in the eighth, and the
umpire previously having had scrim-
mage with that player at Spokane, it was
naturally expected the batter would be
Judiciously treated. When the batter
grinned broadly at one of the
umpire's decisions Mr.. March informed
him that he would be fined if he
looked grinningly at him again. The
bleachers caught this remark up, and
"iiSh oooOCHOuSn, ScltlDS uTSt on
balls, was declared out while playing off,
there was howl, many accusing March of
allowing personalities to prejudice his
work In declaring the runner out, when,
in the opinion of many, he was SAFE The
grand stand also objected and Kissed.
Then, from among the hissers and object
ors, March singled out Professor James
Whalen and ordered him elected. A hun
dred or more of Whaen's sympathizers
left with him. many joining in the exodus
from the bleachers. Then the game went
on after a five-minute delay the home
team being slightly ratified by the contro-
versy with the umpire. Beard was al
lowed to reach second on Patton's error on
hunted ball fielded by Borchers.
This let Beard tie the score. Later, after
Dalrymple was forced at the plate, Cody,
without much hope of throwing out run
ner at first hit him in the back, Cartwright
returning the ball wildly and letting in the
winning runs. At the same time Spokane
men swarmed around March clamoring
that the ball had been pocketed, and be-
cause of March's failure to call out a rum
ner who was touched at the plate with the
alleged blocked ball, many of the rebel
lious spectators again jeered and Kissed.
The decision seemed fair enough to con-
sentative critics, as the runner would have
been safe at third under any circumstance,
and he was sent back to that base. Tacoma
had been out-batting the visitors and had
also been out-tielding, and at this unex-
pected turn Its hopes went down below
par. 1t did not rally, and in the ninth,
when Klopf repeated SIppi's trick of
Thursdays game, the bottom fell out and
it was ball batted by Sippi that did it.
Routcliffe was on first, and the visitors
made claim that Klopf trapped Sippi's fly
in field, and March's decision IN their
favor precipitated boots. Kisses and jeers.
A pair of two-baggers and a sacrifice
scored Patton for Tacoma as starter.
Patton and Cartwright drew the triple
bags, Goodenough sandwiching in the
sacrifice. For the visitors, with Cline and
Beard flown out, Mari and Dalrymple got
their bases on balls, but Polhemus fouled
out to Lauer.
Sippi had flown away to Cline when
Jauer came to the bat in the second. He
lined a pretty grounder TO the left field
corner, and when Cody popped over TO
right Lauer was coached on TO third, and
of course could not get back to his base
and both went out on Dalrymple's catch
of the fy. The visitors did nothing. the
feature of their half being the clever way
IN which Borchers struck out klopf.
Printers Ink showed his science. too,
striking out Goodenough in the third just
as cleyerly as Chief Borchers had famed
out Klopf in the second. Borchers and
Patton had already gone out via the
Beard Mari route, and when Spokane
came 10 bat Printers lax went out TO
Lauer to Cartwright, and Routclitfe made
a nice running catch of Cline's hy, Beard
going ont Sippi 70 Cartwright.

the wind Cartwright's heavy drive IN the
fourth would have been home run. AS
it was. the zephyrs veered it over the lett
corner of the back fence, but Captain
Cartwright came in on Work S grounder

irving for second on his pretty hit and
was lost, Dalrymple throwing him out at
first. Then Roulette fouled out to Bren-
nan, Sippi hit safe TO center, stole second
and trotted in on Lauer's two-bagger over
the left fence. Cody went out on hot

Polhemus went TO first for Spokane on
balls. but went out trying to steal second,
Cody's careful throw being the cause.
