STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

The fans who came through with IS
cents at the box Office at Recreation
Park yesterday afternoon did not get the
customary run for their coin. Umpire
STATS Davis broke up the game in the
fifth spasm, when he called time on the
Oakland bunch after putting Moskiman
out for sulking. Davis took this extreme
measure because the Oakland players re-
fused 70 get into action in time When
the game was called San Francisco was
leading. 70 0. BY Davis decision they
win 10 o.
There was merry old time at the en-
trance to the park when the fans realized
what was taking place. About 1000 lined
up and began 10 make a talk about
money back" rain checks and get
the umpire" They secured neither money
nor rain checks The umpire made his
getaway, though one youth with a mega
phone delivery insisted that Hank Harris
give up either Stats or rain checks.
Moskiman seems TO be the man be-
hind all the trouble. He was kicking at
Davis rulings from the start. and in the
fifth inning. the umpire claims, he was
called e vile name by the twirler. The
doctor was ordered TO the woods, but did
not go I'LL a couple Of cops came along
and helped him make a getaway. Iberg
was ordered 10 the firing line. and Papa
Van Haltren came in from center field to
register a few mild kicks.
The whole Oakland team was mixed up
on the field and the umpire pulled his
watch. When the four minutes were up
Davis announced the game was forfeited
10 San Francisco, TO 0. At that time the
Oakland players were getting ready TO
go 10 their places. though they were a bit
too slow 10 suit the pleasure OF the in
dicator wielder.
The fans were sore They swarmed in
front OF the grounds and passed out va
rieties Of unkind remarks about Hank
Harris and the league officials in gen.
eral- AT that they were not entitled to
rain checks. as four and a half innings
had been reeled OF and the game was
played according TO law The crowd did
not take this view Of the situation, feel
ing the bunk had been handed out
No doubt the umpire did give Moskiman
the worst OF balls and strikes through
out the game. The doctor was sore on
the first ball pitched, but he had no IL
cense 10 sulk the way he did. He was
kicking and acting like q kid all the time,
and this did not seem TO make the UNI
pire bit more friendly disposed toward
him.
The crowd hardly received a fair deal
at the hands Of Davis. Every fan paid
his money to see the game, and it was
not played 10 the finish. Many Of the
diamond stars do not take the public into
considerat ton at all They imagine they
are the whole show at q ball game, and
when everything does not go right they
holler The public should not be made 10
suffer just because couple Of ball play
ers imagine they are getting the worst
OF II from an umpire.
Il was a good game OF ball while il
lasted. and from the way both teams
were playing il might ultimately be cap
tured by either side. The Commuters
made several costly errors, while the
Seals hits all counted. Many OF the fans
thought Moskiman wanted to quit, and
adopted the means he did as the easiest
way out Of the difficulty. The score:
