 DOUGLAS, Sept 27.-one indlvld nars work in that Dougias-Bisbes baseball affair Sunday was responsible for the aspect of the score card aftai it was all over.
 While his name does not appear in the lineup, he is officially known as "Umpirep, and his name is Me lntosh. And his decisions were ii rectiy responsible for the loss of bo;h Saturdays and Sundays games.
 Over one hundred and fifty fans from Bisbee were on hand with leather lungs and megaphones, and they form ed nearly half of the grandstand con tingent. And it was 8 pretty mad bunch that in the second innins swarmed onto the diamond bent on wreaking summary vengeance upon Mac for a putrid decision that gave Douglas another run. Pelkey was or second. Ford singled, putting Pelkey on third. Ford stole second and Bous quet was walked, to get Woolen up woolen hit to Brooks and Pelky was thrown out at the plate. Corr made a short throw to McCann, who whip ped the ball back as Ford slid for the talley rubber. Corr had him by two feet. Even the partisan Douglas fans said he Nae out. But Mcintosh said he was not
 Then things broke loose. A bunch of Bisbeeites, headed by Justice Mug phy. NJ. D. Betts, of the Royal theatre and including Hogan and Bin White started for the umpire. Some Of the players went with them, and there would have been something doing ha' not the coolness of Teddy Bear vii son prevented a scene. That didn stop the argument, however, and Me Intosh was told in pretty plain terms just what the representative people of Bisbee thought of him.
 |. Picher Lou Woods was the worst sufferer, though. at the hands of Mae In te eighth inning he had two mer plaiDtly struck out. One of the foul strikes which hit Clifford's bat, ant then hit Corr's mask and rolled tc the grandstand, Mac called a ball. A, that Woods lay down in the middle of the diamond. then raised up, his hands folded in an attitude of prayer and he crawled toward the umps upor his knees. begging for mercy. Ther Mcintosh walked Ford-Woods didn't When the side should have been re tired, Bousquet got lucky double that scored two. Douglas had bat one run, out of the total of five, that was earned.
 It is a we'll known fact that tra pitchers box, the rubber of which i, fourteen inches long, is often over stepped when the pitcher is deliver ing the ball. The rule is hardly eve enforced as to the pitcher standing directly on the rubber. In fact there is a hole worn in the Douglas rubber that shows how they run up ster more than the law allows. Rube Wal ters did it yesterday. So did Woods until the eighth inning, when McIn tosh ordered Woods farther back whcr he saw Douglas had chance to sneak over a couple of runs. Woods, there fore delivered the only 'legaF' bail thrown in the game. Mcintosh didn' see that the box was oyerstepped be fore, all during the game.
 Tt Is no more than I expected. sasi Justice Murphy, after the game
 Mcintosh is noted for that sort oi thing, works it in such a manner thar the ordinary fan doesn't see anything wrong No visiting team has a ghos of chance to win at Douglas witt Mcintosh umpiring. The sportsmer of Douglas should take the thing ul and see if they can't find a non-par.i san umpire somewhere"
 If had my way, the Bisbee tean would have walked off the diamont
