He was heartily cheered by everyone,

Baekus started the game in the box for
the Bohemians and did fairly well for
seven innings when he was relieved by
Hoover, Astoria's south paw, who fin
ished the game and practically won It
for the Bohemians by making two two
base hits in his two times up and scor-
Ing the winning run which broke the
tie.
The Brewers stood a good chance OF
winning out mp 10 the ffth; Robinson
their clever little righthander had the
game cinched by a score Of 3 to and
was going strong when the manager of
the Brewers substituted Pender, their
crack southpaw who went in without a
proper warming up and before he had
settled down, the Bohemians had cross
I'd the plate four times, putting them
in the lead, two runs to the good.
The game was rnarred by frequent
wrangling by the players of both sides
due TO the decisions Of Umpire Binder
who had but little control over the
players and did not hesitate to change
his decisions on several occasions.
While his decisions did not lose the
game for Portland, they were a trine
in the Bohemian's favor. At the same
time 1t coald be plainly seen thai he
was trying to be fair to both teams but
simply was not yersed in the rules tol
the extent that an umpire should be.
The Brewers can only blame the loss
Of the game to the several boneheaded
moves Of their bench manager who
handed his men in an arbitrary manner
and certainly does not get the best
there Is in them.
