PITTSBURG April 21.-Pittsburg opened
the ball season here with Louisville before
a crowd of nine thousand people. The home
team won out in the ninth inning. when
Hawley knocked a t~hree-bagger, which the
visitors claimed was a foul. The feature Of
the game was the splendid work Of Hill,
Louisville's young phenomenon. The visitors
were weakened materially when in the
fourth inning the umpire put O'Brien out Of
the game for disputing decisions.
Throughout the entire game the visitors
were contending with the umpire over what
they considered unfair decisions. In the
fourth inning, while the Louisvilles were at
the bat, Captain O'Brien and four or five
other players lined I'D with their bats in
hand behind the batter at the plate and the
umpire at once put O'Brien out Of the game.
To cap the climax some one on the bleachers
tore I'D a newspaper into bits and threw
them into the air. Hundreds Of others fol-
lowed his example and In a moment a per-
feet paper snowstorm enveloped the dia-
mond. The Louisvilles refused to play and
game was called until the nuisance was
abated. When play started again, with the
score 8 to l in favor of the visitors. Hawley
knocked a long drive along right field foul
iihe,n which the umpire called fair. The Wis
ftofs fairly went wild over this decision and
lit was some time before play could be re-
sumed. Hawley's three-bagger at this time
