There was more dissatisfaction with
Creams umpi-ing THAN in any game Ia
which he has yec OBLIGATED. This was
because he was called upon 70 make a
numGer OF close decisions, in which the
visitors invariably SO, the better OF 1t.
He made some mistakes on balls and
strikes. also in favor of Youngstown,
but no umpire IS perfect, and Crogan

ed il the home team had not suffered.

the New Castle team questioned num-
Der Of his decisions. but CrOgan was q
good umpire ulen. II makes a great
deal oil Giuerence when the shoe pinches
the ether mans foot. The lot OF the
umpire is hard enough when he has
only ball players TO deal with.
The game was rather loosely played
on both sides. ard was marked by no
especially brilliant work, except thaa
of Gallagher. Tie base running CT
shorty was the feature OF tine game.

hes, base runners in the Interstate
league. Iris work with the stick was
also very goOd. He made clean sim

II was a very pretty contest up to the
sixth inning, when the record OF blanks
WIS broken by the visitors. In this in

bringing in two runs. In the next in
ring Babb's error gave Berry life. but
he was forced out AT second by Jordan.
