Though the ball playing was fast
and spectacular. the ighting end OF the
was furnished by Umpire Jack Nc
Carthy and acting Captain George

delayed the game several minutes He
refused TO leave the field and finally

blocked. and before he could retaliate
the men separated and the game re-
sumed.

way home when Mccarthy stopped him
and called IL a two bagger, under
ground rules, and sent the runner back
TO second
Wheeler started to argue in behalf
Of Los Angeles, claiming that Lewis
should be allowed TO go on, for he be-
leVed that the runner would have
been caught at the plate. The whole
