The press box is now the real thing
and is very comfortable place for
the scorers.
Some of the patrons seem to think
that the City league games should be
up to National league standard. Be
reasonable, gentlemen. Most Of the
City league players are occupied in
different vocations during the week,
and can not be expected to 'be Dele
hantys and LaJoies.
The Niagaras will play at Buchtel
field for three successive Saturdays,
beginning next Saturday.
The two City league games in dis
pute were taken up by the board Of
managers at their meeting Sunday
and disposed of. The South Ends
manager Withdrew his protest and the
game in question goes to the Niagaras
8 to O. In the disputed game be-
tween the Niagaras and North Ends,
the umpire being given proper author
ity to decide the game, decides it
tie and it will be played off later.
A STRENUOUS GAME.
There must be something in the air
Mt Silver lake that causes turbulence
and strife to fill the minds and hearts
of the players on the team of the Ak
ron league, for there has not been
game mt these grounds which was not
accompanied by strife. Saturdays
game between the Nlagaras and the
North Ends was not an exception, and
the last three innings of the games
were played in the midst of an argu
ment Of great strenuousity.
The game had gone six innings with
out the Niagaras having scored, while
the North Ends had piled up score
of five Mt the end of the first half of
this inning. Niagaras came to bat
and Hunt knocked little one in the
direction of first base and was put
out. williams followed and knocked
another little grounder in the same
direction, which Schlatter found and
beat him to first base. The score was
then to o. In favor of North Ends,
and the Niagaras had two men out.
Then Detrick passed Cans and kit
finger on balls, and Coyle got to first
on being hit by the pitcher, "a favorite
trick of Coyle's), McAllister hit sin
gle which scored Cans and Kittinger,
Kossuch hit Il two bagger which
scored Coyle and McAlllster, and then
Stevens came to bat with Kossuch on
third base and the score 5-4.
Stevens hit the ball into center field
and made first safely, while Kossuch
scored. Stevens then tried to make
second base, but was caught and then
the North Ends protested against the
score made by KOssuch being count
ed. Neither side scored again during
the remainder OF the game, FeddersOn
was Incompetent to decide the point
without the rule book, the North Ends
refused to play off the tie and left
the field at the end of the ninth, thus
forfelting the game to the Niagaras.
Watts pitching was easy to solve for
the North Ends and he was replace
by Klttinger, who did somewhat bet
ter after the fourth inning.
The players on both sides lose much
prestige by reason of the fact that they
indulge in loud personal remarks about
each other, argue volubly during the
game and lose sight, temporarily, of
the business in hand. They also linger
when coming from or going into the
field, as though they had hours in
which to do IL.
