Should the Game Be Protested?

Should the Game Be Protested?
To the patrons of baseball at Barton
Landing | wish to address this much
about Fridays game. There seems
abundant good authority that ,Elrod |
properly scored in the 9Th inning, on
Leonard's drive past third base, be-
cause the hit was fair, and that, if the |
umpire had declared the hit as it |
actually was, the game belonged to
Barton Landing, 5 to 4. Suppose that,
in addition to this, the umpire, after
the game did say that he had judged
hastily, that he knew, moment after
making his decision. that the hit was
fair, and that the game rightfully
belonged to Barton Landing Gt is
reported that he made these state
ments), suppose all this should prove
true, still doubt the propriety of pro-
testing the game. Every lover of
( baseball should accept certain things
as of the very essence of the game
this much at least. AS game pro-
crosses the plays therein become part
| and parcel of the game; and the sum
| total of the game is made up of these
| plays, not always as one sees them nor
even as they actually are, but as the
umpire rules them. Any other theory
would turn the finest game in the world
into ichaos. Umpires cannot always
give perfect judgment any more than
courts can. 1t is often impossible to
perfectly judge hard drive past third
or first base. | have no proof that
Umpire Brown was other than honest
In his decision. If it is fact that he
| knew his mistake an instant later, but
would not change his decision, it is to
his credit probably; at all events it
does not change the result. The base
ball result is the game as he ruled
1t up to the time that play ceased.
team have but to scan the score of
that game as tabulated and reported
by Barton authority, and published
in the Boston Globe Of last Saturday,
to be proud of their team. 1t shows
an errorless support of their pitcher
in free-hitting and fast game of II
innings. That's state record for the
season. The great majority of the
5000 people who watched the game
with all absorbing interest for two
hours will concede that the team that
gave such magnificent support to
Pitcher Connolly while almost every
man up hammered him, was not infer
ior to any Vermont team of 1908.
Let's accept the result gracefully, in
sportsmanlike spirit, make no pro.
tests, and say to our Barton neighbors
the courteous thing: that we do not
J consider it any disgrace to lose this
game to the State Champions.

Baseball Notes.

Anyone who compared the crowd
watching the ball game Friday morn
ing with that watching the excellent
racing in the afternoon can easily
judge which has become the most pop
ular and absorbing outdoor sport in
Orleans county.
On all sides expression of regret is
general over the departure of the
young men of the ball team. Their
genial and gentlemanly conduct and
their clean playing won praise for them
on all sides. Jaques, Kipp and
Stafford remain. Capt. Grow is again
summoned to the sick bed of his sister,
but is expected to return. Sharpley,
who has been with us the longest, has
returned to his home in Essex, and
will go next week to Florida to play in
the Hotel League of the South. Hunt
returns to U. V. M. and Thomas will
go there at the opening of the college
year. Grape has returned to Montpel-
Ter. Leonard will soon return to
Dartmouth, and Hobart will return
there and enter the medical course.
Elrod returned Friday night to his bus
mess in St. Adams, and Currier contin-
ues his work in the freight Office at
Lyndonville. Connolly, thong h a
veteran of many victories and defeats,
was very much broken up over his
poor showing in Fridays game. He
returned home Saturday afternoon.
The fine work of the team during the
past four weeks or more evOkes gene
raj praise it has lost but four of the
last II games. and two of those went
through an unheard-of combination OF
"ifs."
Methodist Church Notes.
A largely attended and interesting
concert was given by the Woman s

PATIENT JUMPS FROM WINDOW
Miner Dellrious With Pain Tries to
End His Life.

While in o delrious state from pain
and suffering, Harry Hoodless, a Park
City miner, jumped from window OF
the Holy Cross hospital early yesterday
morning. and while not seriously hurt

up. The man had been at the hos

for cuts and burns received in an ex-
plosion He seemed to be recovering
fast, until Sunday night it was no.
ticed that he acted strangely. The
nurses and attendants were alert. and
when Hoodless jumped from his bed
with scream early Monday morning
and made for the nearest window. at
tempts were made by several persons
to stop him.
Reaching the window, Hoodless
smashed the glass with his hands and
endeavored to jump out BY that time
several nurses and attendants had hold
ct him, but as the patient is a large
end powerful man and fought desper-
ately. the united strength of the res
cuers was not sufficient TO pull him
back into the room. When Hoodless
did fall, however, II was only short
distance. as he had been lowered as
far as the attendance could reach. The
mans greatest injuries were the cuts
upon his hands from the broken glass.
