while in the second, Latham was made
the target. The offending players were in
both camps. Freeman kicked himself out
Of the earlier struggle because he came
all the way in from right to give his views
on a play made by Wood. That was the
second writ of ejectment he has drawn
in Cincinnati this year. Neither the de-
cision nor Freeman's retirement had any
effect upon the game. Only the errors of
the Senators enabled the Reds to fight
them hand to hand through seven innings.
