comes to hand of the first appearance
of the Vernon pride, John Raleigh, in
major league ball. The game was
played between st. Louis and New
York at st. Louis on August s, and has
been carefully saved for a Sunday NOR
sci for the local admirers of the rising
young pitcher. In part it follows:
with five left-handed hitters in Nc
GraW's. lineup, Bresnahan took a
chance and sent in a left-hander in the
person of Raleigh, the young twirler
from Vernon, Cal. The game was a
good exhibition of baseball, the Giants
playing an errorless game and the Car
dinals making only one misplay.
young Raleigh held out wonderfully
well for seven innings. He showed
signs of weakening in the eighth, and
Manager Bresnahan substituted john
ny Lush another southpaW, off whom
the Giants made their final run.
"The first tally in the sixth was
counted by Doyle, who drew a pass to
first. Seymour then lined to Evans,
On a hit and run play Mccormick shot
a grOunder through the shOrtstOp's po-
sition, and Doyle by fast running
reached third. Deylin hit over second,
and while Charles was throwing him
out at first Doyle scored.
"In the eighth Wiltse singled to CEN
ter but was forced by Doyle, Dele
hanty to Charles. Doyle stole second,
and then made third on Raleighs wild
pitch. Doyle trOtted home with the
second run on Seymour's sacrifice fly
to deep center.
Here Lush went in to relieve Ra-
leigh After two men were out he
walked O'Hara, who stole second and
third BrideWell walked, and the two
pulled off a brilliant double steal,
O'Hara scoring before BrideWel died at
second.
"Bresnahan got in the game himself
in the eighth to bat for Raleigh and
was given noisy welcome.
Jack Murray, the eX-Cardinal, re-
Ported with a bunged UP whip, a big
boil having put 1t out Of commission,

Beware, We troublesome players! The
mills of The gods still have a way
OF grinding slowly but of grinding
exceedingly small 1t was not many
seasons ago that John Arnold Heydler,
the new president of the National
league, was driven from his job as
umpire in that organization by the
rowdies of the diamond. Now Heydler
is in a position to deal with rowdyism
with an iron rod and a mailed fist.
Heydler made his debut as umpire
in game played by the old Clevelands
in Washington twelve or fifteen years
ago. Before the game began President
Young, then in charge of the National
league, sent for Capt Tebeau of the
Cleveland team.
Il am assigning Il new umpire to
work today" said Uncle Nick, and
bespeak for him your kind considera-
tion. He is a young man, but he has a
thorough knowledge of the game.
Moreover he is a gentleman, and it is
my earnest wish that you and your
teammates do not treat him roughly"
"All right" said Patsey pleasantly.
please tell Jess Burkett and Jack
O'ConnOr."
IN tell EN-" said Tebeau.
Along about the third inning Heyd
Ter called Burkett out on a !lose play
at the plate Then the storm broke
Surrounded by O'COnnor, BuTkett Te-
beau, McAleer, Childs and Blake, Heyd-
ler was probably called more names in
twenty-five seconds 'than he had been
before in all the twenty-five years of
his life
There was nothing to do but to grin
and bear it, for umpires had no au-
thority to put players out Of the game
or to impose fines that would ever have
to be paid. But it is said that Heydier
at that time very firmly resolved that
if he ever had authority he would give
the umpire power to deal with roWdies
as they deserved.
