 Holyoke, June 20.-Holyoke defeat ed the New London contingent at Hol- yoke yesterday in a game whose prime factors were Tom Bannon, the umpire, and the small boys. Bannon did the kicking, the official furnished the cause and the "kids'' expressed their tisapproval of both. Dan O'Neill also played a prominent part. The crisis came in the eighth inning. Previous to this there had been some dispute as to the right of Fitzpatrick to take third base on a ball that went into the crowd 'sFitz'' was on his way to &hird when Moves secured the ball, which had rolled into the crowd, and touched the runner before he reached the plate. Umpire Tyler. new mem Der of the staff, called him safe, and Bannon crossed the diamond in a hur- " to argue the matter with the um- pire. But all to no purpose. The of ficial was firm and the players were sent back to their places, and it was not long before the Holyoke captain was over the plate. This was in the fifth inning. Tn the eighth the same thing occurred again. This was too much for the s'lSicker,' and he and his aide-de-camp, Moves, fairly exploded. The result was that the umpire or deFed Bannor off the field. and when he refused to go, took out his watch and declared the game at an end. The New Londoners came in from the field and were about to leave the park. At this stage of the game Manager O'Neill appeared on the scene and used his in- fiuence to have the game go on. The umpire refused toeallow the playing to continue unless Bannon should leave the game. This Bannon absolutely refused to do. Bannon asserted that the umpire was drunk and in no con dition to umpire the game. "Put some one else in,'' said he peacemaker, land let the game go on" but Bannon seem ed disinclined to do it. ''Either I play or the game stops.'' said he emphati- cally. Manager O'NeiM then told the umpire that he wished the game to be finished adding that The didn't want any game given to him in that way, faat he wanted the side to win or lose it.v and through his words it came about that the New London team went back to the field. Bannon includ- ed, and play was continued. Moves seemed reluctant to return. and re- fused to do so, but after a few kindly remarks to the man with the indicator he ran along with the rest of the bunch and finished the game.
 At first it looked as if it was going to be a fast game and that the man from New Britain was going to do the job with the indicator dn good shape, but these conclusions were incorrect. A new player was expected for the vis- itoss on second base. but the lateness this arrival necessitated the use of Rachford on that bag. and Bannon hksId down first. Rising played the game for. the Whalers, both in the field and at the bat. He knocked out two good ones and succeeded in capturing two hard balls in the field The home team tried out their new man from Afdfton college, one, Teyfel, who wishes to bear the name of his college and be called Milton" He did good work, but at critical time the captain pre- ferreei to put the. standby. Schincel, in the game and not depend on untried material. ssKellogg dfd well lin center garden, and swiped single and dou- bIe that were both good for runs. Nc Andrews dropped a couple yesterday, and Rossnla1i and Kid Mccormack thought that they would be Justified hn doing the same When the Kid dropped an easy fly for which he was waiting, he stood and looked at 1t for moment and then laughed. Clancy had much better control than he had at the last game but was not up to a1is usual standard. Bass was in the box for the New Londoners, and he got a hand from the fans when he came to the bat. Bass pitched a good game of ba1l-a better game than he ever pitched when he was twirling for Folyoke- and he was successful in his efforts to fool its old friends The score:
 HoLYoKE.
