Diamond Notes.
Come, Tim, play ball.
Mullaney has been suspended by
President Sexton for his rowdyism in
connection with yesterdays game.
1t is Il little early in the season to
begin protesting against umpircs,
but Hogan's work of yesterday fol
lowing the frightful exhibitions of
judgment on his part that have been
shown throughout the home series
cannot be passed without notice.
While the loss of the game can be
charged to no one but Smith, and
there is under no circumstances a
disposition to charge Hogan with
partiality, as he has been punk on
both sides all along, his weakness in
permitting the visitors to play horse
i'm the last inning, first in seeking 10
delay the game until Barber recov-
cred his head when he was up in the
air and then allowing McGreevey tn
warm up i'm the diamond in the face
of his protests and go in and pitch
was not only condemnable, but nau-
seating. To every lover of the game.
lMcGreevey and Mullancy should both
have been bcnChed for their perform
anccS, but Hogan was afraid of both
and he knew no more of what was be-
ing done after McGrecvcy went into
the box than a man outside the lot.
1t takes a man of exceptional force
of character as we'll as knowledge of
baseball to umpire in Il game when
the Bloomington rowdies are playing,
and Hogan is not equal to the emer-
genoy.
Mullancy demonstrated that nc has
struck players with whom he is per-
fcctly at home in the Bloomington
bunch. He would feel decidedly out
of place among the gentlemanly play
ers of Rock Islands present team.
