Findlay is represented in the Inter
State League by an aggregation OF
hoodlums. But rowdyism and bully
ing often win games. and Wheeling S
defeat yesterday may be ascribed 10
that cause. Captain White materially
assisted in the result 10y coaNing the
Gas City klckers back TO the field
after they had forfeited the game. 1t
was a continual kick on the part OF
the visitors from start to finish, but
they played their star engagement III
the firth. when they did the baby
act TO perfection. Howard Branden-
burg led his players in their school
boy performance, ana he masticated
the cloth so persistenuy that McNa-
mara imposed fire of 50 upon him.
If the umpire had been actuated by a
desire TO make the punishment fit the
crime. very few OF the Findiay play
ers would draw their salaries at the
end of the week. Anything 10 win
should be Findlay's motto henceforth.
Captain White may be excused for
his share I'm yesterdays defeat, on ac-
count of his evident desire 10 please
The patrons of the game. many Oh
whom advised him i'm the course which
he pursued. Two men were out IN the
filth. when the Fudlays gave their
childish exhibition. CrOtJy WAS on
third and Davis on second. The third
strike was called on Kerr. GanSs
dropped the ball, but picked IL mp,
and started after Kerr. He touched
Kerr and again dropped the ball
Mcnamara very properly called Kerr
safe when he reached first and as
Crotty came I'm ON the play, the score
should have counted. The howl which
went up from the h00diums would
have been hearUeudiug IL IL was not
so positively ridiculous. Branden-
burg became real downright sassy,
and under his instructions the play
ers left the field. packed up their
bats. and started 10 leave the grounds.
The gate receipts had not yet been
divided, and Findlay made desperate
but unsuccessful effort to connect with
it's share OF the long green All the
spectators thought NcNamara's decis-
ion proper but they wanted TO see
the game finished, and called loudly 10
White To give in. After about tweu-
ty minutes Quarreliug, during which
the spectators SWarmed the field.
Brandenburg got everything he asked
for. and the Fudlays went 10 bat
amid hooting and derisive cheers from
the "bleachcrs.'

visitors eliminated from the contest.
