The Wilkes. Barre players doubtless left
Lancaster with much better opinion OF

claring themselves too fast for their

The following is what an exchange has
to say relative to New Yorks forfeit TO
Brooklyn last Friday: Umpire Burns,
who declared the game forfeited, did so
after the locals made life miserable for
him. The kicking began in the first In
ming. The trouble came to a head when
Casey, the first Brooklyn batter in the
second, was at the plate. Seymour, who
was pitching, sent a straight one over
the plate that Burns called a ball"
Seymour and Warner threw up their
hands. Warner was Immediately re-
moved. Then came Gleason and this put
the homo team in a helpless condition.
The game was finally continued and Will
son went in to catch. Coakley, pitcher.
replaced Gleason and Foster went to
short. The first ball pitched by Seymour
was a strike but catcher Wilson stepped
to one side and the ball came close to
Umpire Burns. He promptly removed
Wilson from the game for what he
claimed was a deliberate move to allow
the ball to hit him. This caused another
row and Gleason and Warner were or
dered oft the grounds, They did not go
promptly enough to suit Burns and he
declared the game forfeited. The for
feiture places the New York club liable
to $1,000 fine which must be paid to the
Brooklyn club"
