There was wrangle over a decision
in the seventh inning yesterday, in
which Umpire SpilmaE became a little
bit ratified. ogden had two men on
bases with no one out when an iufield
fly was knocked up. Thomas dropped
the fly and picking it up forced one of
the players out at third, while the bat

play to so that way, while Ogden
claimed the batter was out and the
man on first and second safe In this
ogden was right and the umpire should
have called the batter out as soon as
the ball was knocked into the air,
However, the decision made no differ
ence, as it left man on first and sec

Thomas struck out again four times
in yesterdays game. Nephi should take
a day off and read the poem published
in Mondays Herald

field fly, which retired Ogden in the
ninth.
