A Yellow Exhibition.

T do not believe that in the history gomery- ever leave the grounds so dis gusted as did the big throng which witnessed the game at the ball park this afternoon" said well known bus mess man and ardent ball fan yester-
 Tt is an unusual thing for the crowd to leave dissatisfied and discont tented locals yesterday. but we had reason to be disgusted by the town-lot and kiddish playing of the Shreveport team
 donbleheader had been to there by that announcement the largest crowd that perhaps ever witnessed a ball game in this city went to the park A rain early in the afternoon delayed the beginning of the first game less than an hour. It was freely declared by people in the grand stand that the earlier than 1t was called by Umpire Mclaughlin. ...
 When it was called both teams nnnss in % pay he tas' locals a had m % away from the visitors and the Pirates then adopted the most palpable time killing tactics. to keep from playing playing the Pretzels in the fine form they were showing. In every possible way they adopted dilatory tactics. It was Ike to keep from giving their opponents the innings they were entitled to.
 And the disgusting, part Of 1t was that Umpire Mclaughlin sunered tnls to go on without protest. The peo- pie who were buncoed. who were pun ished by the yellowness of the Shreve- port team, aided and abetted by the weakness of Umpire Mclaughlin, were the people who went out and paid 10 sec a double header. The locals were not to blame for the repulsive exhiDi- tion They were oEly too anxious to get another whack at their yellow op- ponents. -., ,,o1,, ed too things, first, that Shreveport is A ouitter and second that umpire Mc- Laughlin aided and abetted them ih their quitting This afternoons per formance is a blot on that umpires 5 record.
