 Umpire Mannassau had lively eX- perience at the close of yesterday $ game in Cleveland The Milwaukee players made a run for him because he would not call Bracken's hit i'll the ninth a foul Duffy, Friel and Conroy struck him and were in turn punched by pitcher Pete Bowling of the Cleve- lands. The crowd naturally sided with Mannassau and was about to mix things with the Brewers when the pc lice interfered. Mannassau says he will report the affair to President Johnson at once.
 Up in Woonsocket they are baseball crazy. A small crowd numbers about 2,500 people while they have 5000 and over at some of the games. They play with surrounding towns and the play CTS are mostly college men. The man. agement pays as high as $50 and $60 q game to some of the players and it is nothing to see two or three National leaguers playing for one day with the teams. Shorty Brennan of this city, is the regular catcher of. the Woon- socket team and William Fox also plays with the team. There are hum dreds of dollars up on each game and owing to the fast players that com- pose each team the games are usually close and exciting. 1t is the warmest independent baseball territory ill the country.
 Hugh Duffy has had change of heart regarding umpires and has the following to say: "When I came into the American league last spring and saw how umpires were conducting af- fairs, l was surprised, for it was so different from the National league methods. I thought the players were being trodden upon with both feet by the umpires and every one else. have changed my mind since and now take off my hat to the officials of the American league. It is the only method that will keep the game before the pub lie in a proper manner. and the sooner the National league adopts the rules set down by Ban Johnson the better it T1L is better to have discipline than disorder. Players will do well to try to help un- pires along rather than make trouble for them." And he might have added, magnates would do we'll to impress up- on players that they must help the um- pires along by not kicking.
 Pitcher Michael Mullins of the Waverly State league team jumped from the top story of the Lewis house, one of the leading hotels of Bingham ton, at 2:15 o'clock yesterday morning, and received injuries which will prob ably prove fatal Mullins is one of the best known pitchers i'll the state, hay ing been connected with the Rome, Cortland, Utica and Schnectady teams for several seasons. He went there with the Waverly team Tuesday and yesterday morning awakened his com rades by shouting, Take that ball; take that ball. and springing from the bed rushed to the window. vaulting out as though jumping fence. Pitcher Cling, who was rooming with him, gave the alarm. Mullins dropped two stories, striking on porch roof and rolled to the ground. Manager Heine was among the first on the ground and tainted at the sight of Mullins's crush ed form. It was necessary for physi- clans to work some time to bring him to. Mullins was carried into the hotel, and though no bones were broken, there are several internal injuries, the extent of which cannot be determined at present.
