 | Never in Montgomery has such out l rageously rank decisions been seen py
 an umpire as were given by Joe Burke | yesterday afternoon. Time atter te tinte
 Mccoy would almost split the bR}.tie Riaiie
 ball" Mccoy had nice speed ana an
 unusually sharp curve and with tne | least semblance of justice in the um-
 pires decisions his delivery would nave | been even more effective than 1t was, l That he was effective in spite Of the umpire Is shown by the fact that wnile
 he had given four bases on balls ana
 only struck out one man up to the ninth infnng the six hits made on him were so admirably scattered that with the help of fast fielding behind him the Egyptians were shut out.
 line steady work of Mccoy was shown in the eighth inning when a base on
 balls and two punched hits filled the
 bags with redcapped Egyptians with
 Whistler two of the heaviest hitters in the league were next up and it look
 ed like sure thing that at least one
 run would come in. Mccoy let Dungaa niS

 Big round o's for both sides was ing great bali and their respective | teams backing them up In great shape. In the last of the third Lew Whistler

 was line drive towards first and Mo Coy had started for third and Lynch
 for second when Lew grabbed the line fly. and running to the bag, got Lynch, completing the double.
 In the last of the sixth Charue Schwartz, the brilliant field captain of the Pretzels, whc won the game Tn
 the tenth inning with his two-bagger, to left for two bags. Broutbers dumped a bunt that Brown ran in on
 and tried to throw Schwartz out at

 worth's drive to right. Brouthers got
 to third on Lawler's neat sacrifice,
 Molesworth getting to second end both
 scoring on Pat Millerick's drive to right.
 Mccoy had been feeling very unwell and had asked to De relleVe0 put when
 the three runs were pulled over in the sixth he thought he had his game safe and decided to stay in, even with the rough deal being handed him by Burke. When the ninth inning started Burke reached the zenith of his poor attempts at umpiring. Burke would not give
 Mccoy a strike if the ball was even
 the fraction Of an inch outside of the center of the plate. The result was that Mccoy was forced to rely on speed and straight balls and the first man up,
 Lew Walters, got a base on balls. Stil not being able to use any curves Mo-
 Coy had to- stick to putting them
 straight over the plate, Tamsett and
 Hurlburt punching hits. Brown was out on a hit to Busch, but the con
 tinued strain of Burke's wretched work
 was beginning to tell on Mccoy and
 he hit Beecher with the ball, Beecher
 being forced at second on Duff's hit.
 When Cannon was hit by the ball and sam Dungan hit safe the score was tied, Whistler ending 1t with fly to Mullaney.
 In the tenth Busch, the first man up. hit safe and scored from first base on Schwartz's second two-bagger of the game, Starkell having let them down In rotation in the first half of the tenth The score was.
