EASTERN LEAGUE.
Syracuse Won by Single Run-Faatz
Fired Out of the Game

Jay Faatz lost his head yesterday after
noon and made life miserable for Umpire
Daniels. He has no rival as a giant bull
dozer and he posed as a tough OF the
lowest water. He opened up in the second
inning when Wilson smashed out long
fly to the left field corner which Murray
failed to cover and turned a
somersault. Wilson took a short
cut to third base and the ball
was fielded TO second and the runner de-
clared out. Faatz promptly paid his re-
spccts to Daniels. calling him a STAT head"
and cursing him repeatedly, backed up by
Wilson, Egan and Bauswein. Daniels
weakly delayed in putting a quietus upon
his reviler but finally spunked up suffi-
cient sand to fine him si0 in sections of
bench. He resumed his position,
however, and then the war broke
out afresh in the seventh inning when
Faatz was declared out at second on a
close play. Daniels was mercilessly ridi-
culed and abused, and influenced by the
indignation OF the crowd, he compelled
Captain Jay to leave the game
and hold down the bench. Faatz hung
to the bag for q time, but was
compelled to surrender, much to his dis
gust. 1t was a disgusting exhibition, and
should have been terminated at the first
outbreak by his summary removal from
the grounds. His expulsion from the
League should be promptly demanded, as
the influence of such a character is per-
nicious and degrading. His obscene and
outrageous language was better fitted for
the Bowery than in the presence of highly
respectable gathering of citizens, many OF
whom were accompanied by their ladies.
Umpire Daniels would have performed an
invaluable service to the public and to the
self-respecting baseball profession by
making an example of such a reckless and
foul-mouthed specimen of a ball player.
Up TO the fifth inning ii was a dull and
listless show. The batting was light and
scattered. Both pitchers had excellent
control OF the ball, and the fielding was
effective. There were sundry question
able decisions on balls and strikes
which gave rise to the suspicion
of defective vision. Providence should
have tied the score in the second inning
but lost the opportunity in a poorly ex-
ecuted combination steal by Stricken and
McAuley. The visitors got the hang of
Rudderham's delivery in the fifth inning
and earned four runs after two men were
out on four singles and a doublet A
dark silence brooded over the field. But
soon JOY reigned supreme by the tieing
of the score. Petit opened up with a
single, followed by Lyons with a
his eye simultaneously on the ball and
left field fence. He filed out his breast
aud smote the leather squarely. 1t was a
homer, and the trio sprinted to the plate
Bassett and Stricker lined out singles,
Rudderham was hit with pitched bali
and little Jimmy Cooney found an opening
in left field and sent the runners to the
plate. The bases were filled again, Petit
taking first on called balls, but Lyons
bid for a safe drive was sized up, and on a
close decision at first the side was re-
tired. The winning run was scored by
Welch, who was hit by a pitched bali,
and singles by Wilson and Hess. 1t was
a close decision at the plate, and Daniels
was reminded that his Judgment was off
color.
Summarizing the game it is seen that
he Grsys batted total of 10 hits to 13 for
syracuse, each team earned five
runs and the visitors played an error
