The game of ball which was played
at Riverside Park In the afternoon be-
tween the Yale team and the Port HUI
ron Tigers was very interesting game
at least the Tigers made it interest
ing for our boys, and at the same time
treated them to the first defeat of the
season. OF course if it were only the
visitors that Yale lined up against it
would have been an easy victory. But
when an umpire who couldn't tell a
strike from home run, is put in to
show how little he knows about the
game IL is hard work to win. Accord
ing to all reports some of his decisions
were 80 "wroughten" that the odor is
still noticeable at the park. One Of
the Port Huron players was heard to
remark that the game was won before
the team left Port Huron

NOTES
With fair umpire our team could
beat the Tigers easily.
Dusty says our boys put up the best
game, and Dusty knows.
Even if Port Huron did win, Yale
still leads that town by 26 runs.
Over 1000 spectators witnessed the
game, and nearly all of them say Yale
played the best ball.
'Twould pay the Tigers to hire that
umpire by the season. They would
certainly win every game.
Wonder if the umpire received any
more than his expenses? Don't hardly
think it. He looked like cheap guy.
1t seems strange that town the size
of Port Huron can't get up a good
team without importing some timber.
1t is said that they smuggled one across
tba ditch
