MADDENED MOB.
Crowd at Newport Attacks
an Umpire.
Local Players Interfere For
His Protection.
The Police Forced 10 Fight Their
Way Through the Gang.

Newport Sept. 3.--The BrocF ton New
port game of yesterday which resulted in n
victory for the former club by score of
3 TO 2 had Donny ybrook finish, and
Umpire Connolly narrowly escaped with
his life.
he teams were batting for the leader
ship of the league. a victory for Brock
ton meant a tie in percentage.
In the course OF the game Connolly
made "a number Of decisions that exaspar-
ated the spectators. The climax came
In the ninth inning. With the score 3 TO
i'm favor Of Brockton. Mills opened with
Crisham followed out died at first
Ellis came next with two-bagger, ana
reached third on Grants single.
Hawley was taken from tho bench to
bat for Foley, who pitched the game. and
the first ball up to him passed the catcher.
Ellis darted for the plate. and Hawley in
terfered with Shea in bis attempt to
nail Ellis. and was promptly put out of
the game for interfering, and Ellis was
urIiered to return TO third. Ellis run
would have tied the game Gilbert then
flied 10 Henry, and tho victory was
Brockton's.
The tall had scarcely nestled in Henry's
glove when the spectators leaped from
the bleachers, and ran wildly toward I'm
pre Connolly. and the widest confusion
and excitement followed. The Newport
players formed a Gordon around the um
uiTe. and battled back the infuriAted mob
that threatened to Kill him.
The struggle lasted several minutes
and the few police on the grounds beat
their way through the struggling mass Of
humanity, that was fairly beside itself
with rage. The women. excited as the
men. urged the latter to annihilate Con-
loly.
Meanwhile the Newport ball players
had maintained an unbrcken front and
prevented the crowd from reaching Con-
Colly, who was finally assisted TO the
grand stand and the mob was held mt hay
hy the closed gate leading 10 the stand.
Word had been sent to the police station
and the patrol wagon hurried to the scene
