DUKE PUT IN THE BOX.
After Savannah had played her half of
the next inning Duke was put in instead
OF Cain but the game was long past saw
ing. During Memphis half of this
inning quite an excitement was caused by
Jantzen hitting Umpire Conaly aud
knocking the mask off Of his face. Ken
neuy was at the bat for Memphis. Duke
pitched what he thought was u strike,
Jantzen also thought it was a strike, but
Conaly called it a ball. Jantzen seldom
kicks, - but he threw the ball on the
ground as II in anger, uttering some
thlhg which was inaudible An
infant afterward the now familiar that
costs you five" was heard from Conaly,
ana an instant later Jantzen had struck
Conaly on the side of the face with his
goyed hand and knocked his mask Off
Oonaly then put Jantzen out Of the game,
ana play was resumed.
CoNALY's SIDE OF 1T.
Conaly was seen after the game and
SAD mat he called the ball correctly and
Uu seeing Jantzen angry, said Whats
Ihe matter, Jantzen; that was too low"
IN reply TO this JantZen used very
aaosusile language to him. and on his fning
MN, Jantzen struck him. 1t was for
ms Conaly said, he put Jantzen out of
the game.
Jantzen claimed TO have said nothing to
Oonaly, but he was so provoked at Conaly
ealing ball that split the plate about
Two and 4 half feet from the ground, a
oall, that he threw the ball on the
ground In an impatient manner Conaly,
ne says, then asked him what the matter
was and he told him that when a man
was pitching that kind of ball he ought
10 give him credit for it. One
WORD led to another until Conaly
soIu him that he was liar and
uhed him. Before he thought what he
wa, vas oolng,Jantzen said, he struck Conaly.
nus story is suostantiated by those near
enough TO hear what was said, and the
general opinion is that, though Jantzen
was wrong IN striking Conaly, he was in
.he main right and had been very much
'rled by the umpire. The score was:
