UMPIRE CLARK AGAIN ATTACKED
By Norfolk's First Baseman-Clark
Gets Two Black Eyes.

The principal feature of the game
terday was a scrap between Umpire
Clark and Player Armstrong. This af-
fair occurred in the sixth inning and
caused Armstrong to be ordered out
Of the game and grounds and Umpire
Clark to retire on account of the Sc
we're beating given him by the big ex-
copper. 1t seems to be the consensus
Of opinion that the sooner the league
gets rid Of Mr.. Clark the better 1t
will fare He certainly takes every
opportunity to lay it on Norfolk play
ers. especially Armstrong, whom he
has fined $12 IN the four games which
the club has played with Richmond
because the player disputed his de-
cisions. when it is obvious to all who
attend the game that any Richmond
player who so desires may kick 20 his
hearts content and never be fined a
cent.-Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, May !.
At League park yesterday afternoon
there was a slugging match, in which
two pitchers and an umpire suffered
the former professionally and the lat
ter physically The slugging was done
by the Richmond and Norfolk bail
teams with their bats, and First Base
man Armstrong with his firsts. The
spectators were very much interested
in the former. but had rather not have
seen the latter. for it is just such exhi-
bitions of temper that tends to kill all
the excitement and fun to be derived
from seeing two well-matched teams
play the national game. No matter
what the justification, there should be
no fighting on the ball field. If an
&c
know his business there is remedy
he should be replaced. That is the
only remedy that the general public
will stand for. and the sooner this is
known the better for t}e promoters OF
the game. These gentlemen, neither in
Norfolk nor in any other of the cities
Of the league. are in sympathy with
such disturbances. and not only does
the local management regret the affair,
but will prevent it's repetition.
The fight between Armstrong and
Umpire Clark lasted but a very few
minutes. but in that time the former
had blackened both Of the eyes of the
latter and so hurt him as to render
him unfit to continue the game. His
place was taken by two players. The
scrap occurred as Norfolk was about
to take her half of the fifth inning.
Armstrong made a remark which
Clark thought was addressed to him
and he called the first baseman down
More words were passed when the um-
pire imposed a fine on Armstrong
More words and another fine and the
ex-policeman was put out Of the game
This was more than he could stand
and he punched Clark good and hard
When the men were separated Clark
face was bleeding and his eyes were
badly discolored. Armstrong; face
was scratched.-NorfoIk Landmark

THE POOL ROOM SAFE OPENED
Evidence of Weekly Payments TO Maj
Named James McQuade.

New York, May 1.-The safe seized
in the raid of the alleged gambling re-
sorts by the anti-vice committee of
fifteen last night was opened today in
the presence of Justice Jerome. The
justice who has said he is determined
to learn the identity of the person to
whom the gamblers are alleged to pay
protection money, had threatened to
blow open the safe If necessary, but
the owner gave up its combination.
Inside were found a number of roulette
balls, a lot Of poker chips $239 in cash,
a number of I. o. Us, a pile OF checks
and an account book. This book
showed that regular payments were
made to a man named James McQuade
The payments were for from $125 to
S250 and were made about once q week.
There was nothing to induce the identi-
ty Of McQuade nor the account on
which payments were made.
