TIM ERUDITE SPIDERS ON JESTER
DAY DEFEATED THE COLTS.
The Game Was Nip and Tuck From Start
to Finish. and Was Tied in tho Sixth
Inning by the CoiIegians.

winning run had been scored for the
Spiders. The four hundred spectators
were not sure Of the fact any more than
Bahen, but subsequent events proved that
the Spiders were the victors. and they
left the field with triumph perched on the
top of their banners like the eagles Of
Napoleon.
The game had been well-fought bat
tie, full OF brilliant fielding as n Perry
street line car at game time, and had
Frost been less nervous at third there
would have been difference In the score.
He had wheels in his head" throughout
the game. and made some Of the prettiest
fum0les ever seen in the infeid. Every
time a ball was thrown to him 1t was
twenty to one shot that he would miss
1t. and four times out Of five he did so.
The umpiring Of Mr.. Fleming Phillips
was not satisfactory The crowd DIFF
fered with him, and when the crowd Is
opposed TO the rulings of an umpire 1t is
about time for some other individual In
citizens clothes TO go on the diamond and
show what he knows about ball playing.
No umpire can be perfect or give every
one entire satisfaction, but a great many
can do better than Mr. Phillips, and they
should be secured by the qIadri-City
League II has been mentioned in these
columns before that the league could not
do a more satisfactory piece OF work than
to arrange with certain men 10 umpire,
and let what those men decide be de-
cisions from which there Is TO be no APP
peal. Then the spectators and players,
realizing that the umpire had entire con-
troll. would govern themselves accordingly,
and white-winged peace would then
stretch her wings from centre-held fence
clear up to the catcher's stand. There Is
no doubt that Mr.. Phillips meant 90 be
fair and had pluck to stand by what he
said, but those were his most redeeming
points.
The College men, however, would have
improved their chances in the first part
Of the game had they put Bahen behind
the bat instead Of Blair. The latter made
two costly passed balls and gave to the
Virginia team a running start.
