The alleged write up in the Sheboy
gan Telegram of Sundays base bali game
in this city, is simply disgusting mass
of abuse and invective hurled at the UNI
pire Their story is always the same,
''the umpire robbed them" This used
to be the wall of defeated teams for
years after base ball began but it has
now fallen into disuse. Occasionally
some old Rip Van Wrinkle in the sport
ing world awakes from his twenty years
sleep and hurls abuse at the umpire but
his listeners turn YEARLY away, and the
umpire excuse is fast become obsolete.
The kilograms reporter still uses it the
rest of the world doesn't. The abusive
article in question closes with bit of
sulphur scented doggerel verse about the
lower regions in general and the umpire
in particular which judging from the
writing which precedes it, is original
and was written during an attack Of the
side jumps. The article says among
other things that Manitowoc's first two
runs We're secured by the wind carrying
the ball over the fence. OF course the
tickle wind would not carry Sheboygan
hits over the fence if they had had steam
enough to carry them that far The
Telegram reporter is evidently from
Missouri and ought to be shown Per
haps he was right, but if he is other peo-
pie are mistaken. He says the chair
makers easily demonstrated their superb
ority over their opponents. Here is the
way in which they demonstrated it, to
quote from the kilograms own inaccu-
rate score:
H. f. 2B. H. II. X. s. o. r.
Manitowoc. g 3 3 10
Sheboygan. A 6 0 5 6
Did the umpire have anything to do
with these figures as shown by the Tele
grams score?
