Although the east wind made the afternoon
uncomfortable and the bad condition of the in
held did not permit the players to make the
best showing, yesterdays game of ball between
the Portlands and Pawtuckets was rather in
teresung. 1t was closely contested, it was pro.
tested, and the umpire, Mr.. Mulcahey, was
roundly Kissed and yelled at. All these Incl
dents gave the 300 people there plenty to do.
Inc umpire may have been in error in adjudg
ing high fly knocked over right field fence by
Klobendenz in the seventh inning a foul instead
OF hit. The crowd decided that he was
wrong, and made life very burdensome for him;
but some old players in the audience thought
the umpire right. The decision, had it been the
other way, would have made Portland winner
But already. in the third inning, when Tobin
had Knocked the last of series of high flies
over left field fence, there was found to be no
suitable ball to continue the game until the ball
Knocked over the fence should be returned
The Pawtuckets claimed that under the New
England League rules the Portland manage
ment should have plenty of balls at hand ana
therefore continued the game under protest
At this time the score stood about to / in
favor of Portland. As the Pawtuckets
ultimately won, they may not insist on
their protest. The umpire undoubtedly showed
poor Judgment in some of his decisions; but he
evidently tried to do right and bore himself in
gentlemanly manner In spite of the Kisses and
boots of his audience.
The Portlands went first to bat and their
career was short Annis was retired on fly he
sent to Hamlll in left field; Kirmes sent
grounder to Fern and was thrown out at first
OBrien got to first on hit, to second on an
error which O'Donnell made, and was coming
home flying on Rogers base hit, but Cronin
delded to Connoghton who put the runner out
at the plate. This retired the Portlands.
The Pawtuckets opened better, Hamill hit
ting for two bases at once, and getting around
home on wild pitches, scoring one. This was
all; for Connoghton, after getting base on balls,
was thrown out at second by the catcher
Mather went out at first after hitting to Kirmes,
and Cronin went out on foul fly to Rogers.
ODonnell before this had got to first and
second on missed third strike and around to
third, where he persisted. The Pawtuckets
were ahead, 1 to O.
The second inning was prosperous for Port
land. Burns began with hit, Clymer follow
ing hunted another, and, although Tobin struck
out, Lachance and Klobendenz followed with
hits which brought Burns and Clymer home.
This was all, for Lachance, in endeayoring to
steal home was thrown out at the plate, while
Kirmes went out on fly, after Annis had
reached first, having been hit by pitched ball.
The Pawtuekets did nothing this inning, Feen
being thrown ont at first by Clyrner
and Dugan and Condor striking out
The third inning was a great one for Port
land, although O'Brion, first at bat, was
promptly thrown out at first after hitting to Du-
gan. But Rogers lifted the ball so that it
scared like lark over left field fence and went
around the bases to home leisurely while the
crowd cheered. Burns followed with a hit,
took second on an error by Cronin, while La
chance, who came to the bat after Tobin had
gone out on fly to left field, advanced him to
third, whence he got home by an error of
ODonnel. Lachance got around by aid of
passed ball and error by Fern. Clymer, who
was ahead of him, came In on this same error,
having started with a base on balls. This in
ming finished Condor, and Lynch was put in his
place.
The Pawtuckets got one run only in the third,
Hamill leading off with a hit, stealing second
and coming home on an error by Kirmes.
Inthe fourth Kirmes made a hit, but was left
on second, OBrion, Rogers and Burns going
out in one, two, three order. The visitors
made grand rally in this inning, getting four
runs on doubles by Connoghton and Mather,
and singles by Dugan, Quinlan and ODonnell
The score was now to 6.
In the fifth, Portland didn't score but for
Pawtucket Dugan hit for two bases and man
aged to get home on two errors by Rogers. This
put the visitors one ahead.
Neither side scored in the sixth. In the sew
enth Rogers led Off with two-bagger and man.
aged to get round on base hit by CIymer and
Tobin's sacrifice. -Clymer also got home. This
gave Portland lead; as the Pawtukets went
out on Dugan's fly to Clymer and the double
play of Burns, Clymer and Rogers, who caught
Quinlan at second and Lynch at first.
But Portland scored no more, while in the
eighth inning Hamill and Connoghton made
each single hit, and with that, O'DonnelPs
