Carroll Denison Game Was a
Rough House.
CARROLL PLAYS BABY ACT
Umpire Awards Game to Denison
After an Eleven Inning Talk Fest.
The i'll feeling that has long ex-
listed between the sports of Carroll
and Denison found expression in the
game played yesterday. The Denison
boys have always felt that Carroll
sports cheated them out of the Fire
mems belt year ago and they are
now more than ever convinced that
the Carroll sports are not what
they should be. The game was
ragged one all round. Faul was
batted freely but only a tritie more
so than the Carroll pitcher. Twenty
FIVE safe hits were made during the
game. thirteen off Faul and twelve
off Rothemel. There were many errors
on both sides. much base running and
many exciting and close plays. It
was the hardest game to umpire that
was ever witnessed here and the fact
that Everett Kemp who acted as sup
RENE judge, was honest and impartial
in his decisions is shown by the fact
that while Carroll disagreed with
some decisions. the Denison men
We're equally sure that other decisions
should have been in their favor. Car

as soon as the first ball was thrown.
1t seemed to be the settled policy
to kick on every decision made. So
much so. that at one time the Carroll
players and manager rushed out to
the diamond to protest against de-
cision in their own favor. Baby Better
made himself particularly objection
able by his unsportsmanlike conduct.

Wow-wow- VOW says Carroll. This

the crowd took it good naturedly but
it finally ceased to be funny and the
Karroll Kickers were called down
good and plenty.
