THE DIAMOND.
THE UMPIRE'S
 DECISION
Dave MuIcahy Presents a Unique Settlement of That Sunday Baseball Game.

One of the strangest decisions ever
 sndered by an umpire was the one given out last night by Dave Null cahy, deciding the game which was played on the Riverside grounds last Sunday between the Merrimacs and the Moonlights. It will be remember cd that the game broke up in the first part of the ninth inning with the score eight to seven in favor of the Merrimacs, two. men out on the Mer- rimac side and a man on base. Dark ness came on during the squabble and the umpire decided to call the game and give his decision later. The de- cision is as follows: The Moonlights by the score of 2 to 6, which was the score at the end of the eighth inning. All bets are called off aHd the purse of $150 is to be equally divided be- tween the two teams.
 While the umpire may have over- stepped his powers in rendering such a decision yet there are many who be- Iieye that it was the best thing to do under the circumstances, and certain Iy 1t was the best way out of the trouble for the umpire himself. 1t was a bad position to be placed in and would require the judgment of a sti- preme court justice to find an avenue of escape from criticism if from noth- ing else. It has always been ques- ton, however, whether referee or umpire has the right to call off all bets if decision has been made giv- Ing victory to one of the contesting parties. If 1t had been declared no game or no contest and then all bets called off, that might be piNper. How a purse can be divided either, after one team has been declared the win ner, unless both captains agreed to 1t, is another mysterious part of the de- cision. Look at it whichever way you will, however, the decision was the safest one the umpire could make, if 1t was not strictly according to rules.
