The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-06-24

A few more repetitions of yesterday 2 performance at the ball grounds, ana
 baseball will be killed in Montgomery for good and all. From 415 o'clock until af- ter o'clock there was gabfest in which both teams played star parts. It was a
 kind of frog in the middle game, with the weakkneed individual, Umpire Brennan, acting the part of the frog.
 The game, If it should be dignihed by the name, was one continual wrangle from start to finish. The ball players saw they could run over the umpire and never for an instant did they hesitate to take
 advantage of that fact. The actions of
 the Atlanta players were just about the
 worst ever witnessed on Montgomery
 ball field. Brennan finally got up sand enough to put Stafford and Mathews out of the game After these two star per
 formers in the kicking business were out of the way, the game proceeded bit more smoothly, though the wrangling continued.
 Both Polchow and Frank Wilson were
 wild, but the Black Sox hit Wilson harder than Atlanta did Polchow, twelve hits being made off of Wilson and ten off of
 Polchow.
 Flanagan led the batting with four hits
 in five times up. including two-bagger and three-bagger. Jack Brennan got a couple of two-baggers.
 The continuation to the wrangling came in the ninth inning, when, after F1ana- gan's three-bagger, which tied the score, he was called out at the plate by Brennan. For awhile it looked as If there was to be serious trouble, both teams surrounding the umpire in manner that had all the
 marks of a big row. Finally something
 like order was restored and the ming was
 played out 1t was so dark then that the
 game had to be called with the score
 tied, 5 and 5.
 The tie will be played off today, George Stultz pitching for the Black Sox and
 Killen for the Crackers. The Montgom- cry team behaved better than Atlanta, | oil k~
 resort to the same tactics today, he should be put out of the game himself. The crowd was a tremendous one, some thing in the neighborhood of 2.300 per
 whom were ladies, 1t being the first la dies day since the team has returned | home.
 The game was scheduled to be called at service of the Montgomery TractoN Com | pany 1t was not called until later. | Just why all the cars were not put in
 service. is a mystery, but 1t is fact that
 four of the traiers remained in the car shed at Pickett's Spring all the time,
 tnE 4nIy two of the 9ta tFaiers being in opera
 reached the S city. ladies having if to 'fTT fight their way to the cars, and being almost | suffocated after they were on board. The Traction Company officials were | notified yesterday morning that there
 would be an unusual crowd. but 1t seems
 tra trailers would have made big differ | ence, but for some reason they were not
 used and the patience of the people of | Montgomery. was again strained almost | to the breaking point.
 The people of Montgomery have sup | ported baseball literally this season In spite of the poor transportation facilities. | but there is limit to human endurance and if there Is not an improvement in | the car service It simply means a death | blow to baseball.
 To return +o the Same If inc tiresoroa wrangling had been cut out it would have
 been very enjoyable only one error being made by each team.
 A couple of bases on balls. a sacrifice; | stolen base and Koehler's two-bagger put two runs over for Atlanta in the first in- | ntng. Nothing more was done until the
