| is out, retired him to the bench with
the second out credited against the
Crescents. They protested but felt
sure OF the game anyway and played
on until they got a runner each on
second and third bases. The next man
struck out and the umpire called three
outs. when the Phoenix team left the
diamond The co1tention of the Cres-
cents Is that the second man called
out WAS not out. that he was batting
only through an error OF the score
keeper, and Iha, It ought no: &c count
against them.
Later in the day Il delegation of the
Phoenix team called to give its YER
Son OF the story which agreed as far
as the Crescent story went in the
statement Of what took place. except
as to the points that the man count
cd out was the first batter up and
that there was at the finish one man
on second base and no player got 90
third in that inning. The points are
irnmaterial as to the correctness Of the
decision. They contended. however.
that the ump.re's decision was i'm ac-
cordance with the rules and as some
money was up on the game by GER
tain of the fans. the rules should not
be deviated from. Furthermore they
say the rule should be observed any
way and in relating the facts they
state in addition that there was an
evident effort on the part of the Cres-
cents to juggle with their opporunl-
ties. Under the rules 4 man may be
substituted at any time during the
game. if he is on the bleachers In
readiness. In this instance. though IL
was the last half of the last inning,
a heavy batter from Tempe was SUBJ
stituted. The Phoenix team, recog-
niZing the rule. made no objection
though it appreciated that the purpose
was to let the swift base runners bat
first, and be followed by the heavy
batter 10 bring them home. Half the
Crescent team was roofing for the
heavy batting and the other half was
roofing for the swift runners. the
judgment of the team being seemingly
divided. When the man ruled out had
secured one strike. half the Crescents

that he was batting out Of his posi-

PHOENIX TEAM WON
CRtSCENTS PROTEST
A Lively Function and Controversy
Which the Reader May Take Either
End of.

The baseball game at Eastlake park
yesterday resulted IN n close argument
with a decision by Umpire Reno Rudd.
of 9 to in favor of the Phoenix team
against the Crescents. the rejuvenated
organization formerly known as the
Phoenix Juniors. The first six inn
ings were an exhibition Of good ball.
Then came a couple of innings in
which neither side made much Of
showing. as the balls were wet, having
gone into the lake, and the pitchers
could not control them. Both sides
made more runs than they otherwise
would have done After that il was 4
good game until the last half of the
ninth. the closing moments. Then
controversy arose which left sore
spot on the part Of the Crescents, the
umpire having decided the game over
with three outs. while the Crescents
claim there were but two. The UNI
pire seems to be backed by the rules
however. and good ball has to be play
ed by rule.
Contrary to announcement, Williams
pitched for the Phoenix team and

his stead. Graham. who had to work

saws. because he is and always has
been a Crescent. or Junior player. He
saws he never was a Phoenix player
and played yesterday with the Cres-
cents. not as a loaned player from the
Phoenix team. but because that is
where he belongs. These battery
changes will be referred to later at
ter mention of the controversy at the
end Of yesterdays game.
Yesterday a delegation of the CreS-
cents called at the Republican to give
their version of the finish Of the game.
The score stood. Crescents 4. Phoenix
q. at the end of the sixth. Then the
balls were wet and in the two sue

and the Crescents made 4, the record
! that stood at the finish. Thus far
there seems to be no conflict in the
stories. In tho last inning Phoenix
made nothing and the controversy

THEIR LUCK CHANGES.
The Middies Lose Game After Winning Ten
Spafrow's Point Wins.

After winning ten straight games.
the midshipmen lost 10 the strong
nine representing Sparrow's Point
yesterday by a score of G to 3. The
visitors played better ball than the
Navy boys al the critical periods of
the game. Rosper pitched a strong
game for the Pointers and kept the
midshipmen' hits well scattered.
Bacon, Gillian and Hnmbsch, OF
the Navy team. all made costly err
rors. Though eight hits were made
off of Lanphier, the Navy pitcher,
Pitcher Roeper WIS the only one who
got more than one clean drive and
no extra base hits were made ON
either side. The game yesterday was
hastily arranged by Manager Pugh
in order to give the Navy nine some
good practice before the contest with
the Army team next Saturday.
The sparrow Point nine will
play the midshipmen again this after
noon and il is probable that this Will
be the last game of the season here.
The move OF Manager Pugh in schedul-
ing the games with this strong semi
professional team was a good one, as
the Pointers are about the strongest
aggregation in Baltimore city and are
thoroughly expert in every phase Of
the game. Richard Mudd. who caught
for st. Johns some years ago. and is
now student of law at the Maryland
University, played FIRST base for the

Graduation Of Midshipmen

The Secretary of the Navy has APP
proved the recommendation that ex-
ercises be held at the Naval Academy
on June for the graduation of the
remainder of the class of 1907. There
are now seventy ty-four.members of that
class, which has had two graduations,
one last September and the second in
February. This will probably be the
last class to have these premature
graduations, as the Naval Academy
authorities are opposed to any shorten
ing Of the academic term. Succeeding
superintendent have filed protests
against having the midshipmen leave
the academy within shorter period
than four years to be succeeded by
two years at sea.
