II Gcosgc uogriever had appeared at
Vinton stree: park yesterday afternoon he
would have been borne aloft as a martyr
to a great cause.
The man who led to his expulsion from
the Western league handed out some of the
stuff to Omaha that drove Hoggie to des-
peration and ended IN his retirement by
the president OF the league.
Bob Glenalvin was once a great ball
player. The pity Is he ever undertook to
umpire. II the work he did yesterday may
a. taken as a fair sample. 1t is not that
xincoln beat Omaha, not thai the Prohibs
DATED Kelley out Of the box in the first
i~nning-thc point is. Glenalvin simply irri-
tated the hpme. team beyond all endurance
b. his decisions. They were so p~alpably
rank that President Rourke Of the Omaha
team wired President O'Nein Of the league
last night a protest on the matter, and
this is an unusal action, never resorted TO
except in the most extreme cases.
Glenalvln made the mistake Of ~pricking
his ears to hear every word the players
said and peeled his eyes to catch every
ching they did. lie was peevlsh and i'm
patient. Ills umpirlng put the home team
up I'm the air and took all the pleasure
out Of the game which 5000 fans had
counted on having. He persisted In his

any time. Chances are II he had taken
his position there, like every other umpire
\ in the country. most, II not all, his trouble
could have been avoided.
1t was the most tempestuous day that
Vinton street park has seen for many
A moon and II is a stout tribute to the
Omaha fans that they did not permit their
passions to get the better of them.
The umpire sent Welch off the grounds
because he protested a decision. WEIGH
I had apparently beat the ball to first, but
' was called out. schipke and Franck barely
escaped being benched several lines. Men
were moved down on strikes when the
ball was nowhere near the plate. Three
distinct times Glenalvln changed his de-
cisions on balls and strikes.
When the game was over the crowd
swarmed down upon the diamond and de-
rided the umpire with jeers and boots,
but he strobe out through the mass to
the street car unframed. President Rourke,
though tried beyond endurance, had sta
toned himself at the entrance through
which Glenalvih passed from the crowd
and counseled peace among the excited
fans. Even the Lincoln players were dis
gusted at the work Of poor Glenalvin.
Fans saw how it was that patient old
Johnny Gonding was fined and sent from
the field at Lincoln Saturday.
What Glenalvin intends to do is to con-
troll the situation and command order.
What he does is to rattle the players and
create disorder. He has been a player him
self-was a star many years ago-but in
stead Of maintaining discipline, he displays
a belligerent attitude and challenges the
pugnscity OF a player by his manner.
But He Didn't DO This.
