UMPIRE IN A SAFE PLACE.

the Stand and Enjoyed the Kicking.

Umpire O'Loughlin was a spectator at
yesterdays game at the oval, sitting in
the stand. He smiled when Tom Brown
got after Gruber in the early part of the
game. The official had day off, being
assigned to begin in Springfield today and
he thought he would like to see yester-
days contest in this city from specta-
tors standpoint.
One of the crowd wondered Il he was
following Doescher's example and retiring
from the business. When OLoughlin was

1t was something like old times at
the oval yesterday, when Worcester
trounced Springfield for the second
time In succession. The Farmers acted
much as they did few weeks ago.
when they were chuck full of ginger
and could trim everything that came
down the pike. They were as frislzy as
a flock of lambs, and save in one inn
ing Springfield didn't have a look in.
Just once during the game was there
the slightest fear Of the Ponies strik-
ing a fast gait. That was toward the
close, when they drew up on the Wor-
cesters too near for comfort. Things
began to come their way, and it seemed
as If they had a chance to win. But
Worcester settled all fears In the half
inning that gave them as fair a show as
Springfield had. They made enough
runs to show Springfield what they
could really do If they tried and if any
hope existed in the breast of the
Springfield players it went out like a
late slayer before an angry fathers
boot.
The playing Of the Worcesters was a
delight to witness. 1t was the confident
playing Of winning team such as was
seen at the oval before the club left
