Dirty HustOn
Dirty Mahanoy!
The umpire was very Leary
Shenandoah plays at Pottsville on Satur-
day.
Ely, late pitcher for the Yorks, has joined
the Mahanoy City nine.
One Grif Grfliths is put down as leading
the mob on the grounds.
Yesterdays outrage has killed Mahanoy
City as base ball town.
No respectable club will play with Mahanoy
City either on or off its grounds.
Bradley's one hand stop of hot ball from
Huntzinger's bat was another feature
Shenandoah went to Mahanoy City to play
ball, not to take part in a stone battle
The best part of the Shenandoah club is
that they are all gentlemen,-JouynaL
The Pottsyilles will positively play game
with the home team at the Trotting park on
Friday.
Our champions are in great demand. A
number of towns in the region would like to
get a date.
Frank Henry's assist by throw from
deep centre to third base was feature of
the game.
Ward displayed his abilities as base run
ner yesterday to great advantage. And he
hit the BALL too.
The rowdy element has killed base ball in
Mahanoy City and the manager of that
club is responsible for it.
Whoever says so is a id liarw was one
of the expressions used by Manager Webber
ON his grounds yesterday.
Manager Weber was personally responsible
for many dirty insults addressed to Shenan-
doah people on the grounds.
Shenandoah audiences always treat visiting
teams as gentlemen, and expect the same
treatment for our team when they leave
home.
Everything indicated that the game was to
have been broken up in wrangle and
Bumpire Leary was finally obliged to do the
dirty work himself
Huston knew Mahanoy City. He made
the management pay him weeks salary in
advance and it is said the money had to be
raised by subscription.
Hon. William E. Jones, Of Mahanoy City
and Phil. Connell, of Pottsville, denounced
Manager Wobber for engaging and upholding
such an umpire as Leary.
In the fourth inning Ward said to Manager
Webber, "Ifyoure gentleman you will give
us another umpire" Webber replied, "Play
under that umpire or leave the grounds"
,tsrl,t ,,11-, Of
ball club in the Sandwich Islands, but he is
absolutely unfit for such a position in thi:
region. He has neither control of his players
or himself
If Manager Bradigan allows his club to &C
| to Mahanoy City again or gives the club Of
that place a date here the Shenandoah people
will withdraw their patronage from the
Trottng park. This is not a heated con
| clusion.
Buck" McGetttigan tells a Pottsville paper
that the one ambition of his life is to wbir
Shenandoah Buck" will have to live
many years more to see his ambition realized
if he continues playing in the PottsvillC
team Besides "Buck" and his Pottsville
friends are not in our class.
In the fourth inning ball knocked by
Huston was iielded by Toman just as Huston
got on the bag. The latter grabbed Fox and
prevented him from throwing to third to put
out Ely, who had started from second. The
umpires attention was called to the fact.
and he was asked to either declare Huston OF
Ely out but he declared both men safe.
In the sixth inning ball was hit foul t
left field and was felded in by setley
Webber, the manager, threw new ball out
and Henry threw it back. Webber told the
umpire to make Bradley use it. During
the wrangle Ward rubbed the ball in dirt and
otherwise changed its appearance to so much
like the old that Bradley finally took it and
pitched.
Huston had been counted upon by Shenan-
doah as one of its regular players, the club
having paid his expenses from Harrisburg
Monday night Huston received telegram
from Mahanoy City offering him $50 week
and expenses. Yesterday he left Shenan-
doah without word to anybody and donned
a Mahanoy City uniform. He will be re-
membered by Shenandoah.
Another sample. In the sixth inning Salmon
was at the bat The umpire called 1.-TWO
strikes" Salmon protested and after dropping
his bat walked toward Leary, who at once
called out to Manager Webber Chow many
strikes were there?7 The manager answered
"One!' Leary then turned and proclaimed
aloud, zone strike!' Salmon walked back Il
the plate again, but went out soon after on &
| pop TO Bradley.
