How the Clubs stand.
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
NATIONAL IEAGuE.

| CHICAGO, H., June Sin the Ameri-
| can League it is not the magnates who
put the umpires off the field, as did Andy
! Freedman at New York, but the umpires
who compel the magnates to bow to their
power while they are masters of the dia-
mond. Magnate James Manning, of the
Washington club and Umpire Mannassau
mixed today at the South Side grounds
and Manning got decidedly the worst or
the alteration. He was sitting on the
bench with his men at a critical time just
before the game was stopped by rain, and
! in his excitement objected not little
to the way in which Mannassau looked
at balls and strikes.
Manning thought that Patten was
shooting them over" but Mannassau
did not. Manning spoke above a whisper.
probably a little louder than ne intended
to. and Mannassau heard him. Only a
few persons besides Mannassau know
what Manning said, but the umpire turn
ed around and informed him that his
presence on the bench was obnoxicus and
ordered him into the grandstand. At first
Manning was somewhat dumfounded and
did not offer to move.
'Well, are you going?" sharply demand
ed Mannassau.
If you are not I'll know the reason why.
Now get off this field and get off quick"
Manning was pale with anger, but after
relieving his feelings somewhat he walked
into the grandstand
Not quite three innings of the game
were played when the darkness became
intense and the rain began to fall. But
more things were crowded into these three
innings than are usually found in an en-
tire game Manning was not the only one
to fall before the wrath of Mannassau.
Tame BiII' Everett-he used to be wild
Bill'-was put of the grounds. too for he
forgot for moment perhaps. that he
is domesticated and he ''butted in when
Mannassau thought he ought to be over
on the bench, where, indeed, he belonged.
Everett was not the only one. Quinn
was fined $40, and told that If he did not
shut up at once the fine would be made
500. So, perhaps, it is just as well the
darkness and the rain came Just as they
did for it is hard to say just what would
have happened if the game had gone the
full nine innings.
Washington was ahead to 0, when the
game was called after two men were out
in the last of the third. II was in this in
ming, too, when Mannassau got in his
work
At the end Of the second inning dark
ness caused the umpire to stop the play
ing for time. The rain was expect ed
every minute, but when it did not come
the men were told TO take their positions
and get TO work. Washington was at
the bat, and Harvey's giving three bases
on balls, making an error, and a wild
throw, and then allowing a hit gave to
the Senators two runs.
Up to this point the Washingtons felt
pretty good. but when the darkness pre-
vented Patten frCm seeing the plate when
the White Stockings batted in the last Of
the third, they got wildly excited. Pat
ten gave Mcfarland a hit, and Sullivan
hit, and then he gave Harvey and Hoy
bases on balls. Mcfarland tried to steal
when he was caught, and Hoy was forced
by Jones. Mertes bluffeG the umpire and
made him think he was hit with a ball,
and trotted to first Isbeli came 70 the
bat. and then the rain came down.
The two teams will leave for Washing
ton tomorrow at noon.
Manning is proud of his team and he is
justly so.
Il am not worrying al all about my
chances" said Manning today. Il know
have a corps of the best pitchers in the
league. II We keep up our pace it is not
very hard to figure out where the pennant
will be next fail.
say, do you know this is the first time
was ever ordered off the bench2 II is.
don't know what l did either Oh, well,
its all right, and the magnate went over
TO console Tame Bill"
