UMPIRE COLGAN RESIGNS.
Says That He Refuses to Take. Abuse
Fred C1arke's Confession.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
P!ttsburg. Pa. May 4-Because he could
no longer stand the abuse Of National
League players. Harry Colgan Home
stead boy. has resigned from Uncle Nick
foung's stan Of umpires. Colgan was for
merly the star umpire Of the Interstate
Leasue. He was appointed on the League
stan before the season opened through local
Influence. Colgan to-day said:
Il thought 1t the best thing to do, as l
had lost my nerve and could not stand
the abuse from the players. I did not get
started right. in the first place, and it
would have been hard for me to get going
right now. 1t was all my own fault-nobody
to blame but myself"
Billy Nash took his place at Boston yes
terday. and will likely succeed him on the
big League staff.
Clarke of the Pirates to-day pleaded
guilty on the charge of poking Pitcher
Harper of the St. Louis team during the
last game here. but the Pirate chief tells
cording to his story. Clarke was on sec.
ond, with two out. when Wagner knocked
right-feld fly, and probably would have
won the game If 1t had escaped Donovan.
Clarke started for the plate with his head
down. but turned toward the outfield. Har-
per edged over until he got on the base line
between third and the plate. and, like
Clarke. he was intent upon the doipss in
Patsy's territory. AS a result, runner and
pitcher collided, and Clarkes elbow struck
Harper. Clarke stopped and apologized. but
Harper refused to accept the apology.

Western Military Academy Cadets.

Western Military Academy's baseball
team received sound trouncing from the
crack Smith Academy team. by a score of
~ to IA. at Pastime Park yesterday after
noon. A poor exhibition of baseball. as
both teams had many errors to their cred
1t. and some mighty dumb bail playing was
done by the players.
A. Hoffman was the star of the game.
Out of four times at the bat he knocked
out two home runs and couple of two
baggers. while his fielding could hardly be
improved.
Smith had such big lead at the end of
the fourth inning that both captains agreed
to call the game after the sixth inning.
Western hraced up in the last inning. and
by some timely hitting brought in five
