Williams, assistant manager of New Orleans claimed 'nSs md he had nobody to take their places ana Ehret forfeited the game to Montgonh- cry by score of 9 to Q.
 There was a good crowd present an6 while the incident is to be regrettea, there is no question that Umpire Enret was nnqualifiediy right in his action;
 Exactly nine men had faced McCoy during the three innings and the only time that the ball had seen hit out of the infield was in the third inning, Thornton got by a nice catch. Ot the other eight men Schwartz got three. Busch two, Br9uthers one While Mceoy- struck out two in the second innlns.
 Molesworth hit safe to. center and stole second, Mullaney cracking out nlt 10 right field and scoring Molesworth. oldring hitting foul fly that Sullivan
 In the second inning with two out Millerick hit safe past third base, max ing the third hit off Phillips in two ln
 ninEs. Thcn in the third inning came fans and has made the New Orleans team unpopular in Montgomery. Brouthers, the first man up in the in ming had walked. He started on nrst when khillps made s.rd1SE pa,p1 RreutSers sn to second on the ba1k. Then Beck flow of soul" began and for the next few moments the solid stream or ofato- ry exuding from first base would nave put Chauncey Depew to the oad. iI IS doubtful. however, if the famous after dinner speaker ever used the language that Beck directed at Ehret.
 Finally Ehret concluded that he nad absorbed as much of the Beck English as he could stand and ordered that player out of the game. Beck couldn | see 1t that way and like the boy on the burning deck he declined to move. and In order to make u very p,am, ps,n ,u ', the services of policeman were brought into play and Beck was assist ed from the field. Stratton, the Fell can backstop. succeeded Seck is,.a a' onns nrS. menced, Sullivan being ordered out or the game. Just what Sullivan said could not be heard. but he evidentiy used some terms that don't go even on a bali field.
