CUMBERLAND PROTESTS GAME
Claim Fences Decisions In Nor.
NAL Game Unfair.
Ask State Athletic Association to Reverse
Ruling which Caused Visitors to
Quit the Field.

The Cumberland College base
ball team of Clarksville has filed
a protest with the State Athletic
Association asking that the decision
of Umpire Hugh Pence in the State
Normal game Wednesday, forfeit
ing the game to the Normal, be
reversed. In letter published in
the Gazette this morning, the team
states its case as follows:
"Clarksville, April %, 1909.
Sporting Editor Gazette:
eve quit the game at Conway
because we could no longer stand
til, deal that Pence was giving u.
as umpire. We refused to go in
the game with him as umpire, but
we were forced to take him or not
play the game. We had been told
he was unfair by Henderson Col
lege men who had played at Con
way lately. Hence we objected to
him.
Mr. Kirby, who went in to as
sist him umpiring, did not quit the
game because he was disguised a.
the Cumberland players, and no
fai- man will say so. If Mr.. Kirby
will say he quit because of our &C
tons we will give the Normals the
game. We have filed our protes,
with the Athletic Association ano
believe they will give us the game
We had the game 8 to I in the
sixth inning when Pence's decision
on ground rules allowed the Nor
NAL to score two runs. The Nor
NAL is not entitled to this game
and if the association makes u
play it over, we will demonstrat,
the truthfulness Of this statement
beyond the question of doubt.
&C. T. GARRETT. "
Local players are much surprised
that Umpire Pence's decision,
should be disputed by the Cumber
land players. In the two preceding
games between Cumberland AID
the Normal and Hendrix, Pence
acted as umpire and none of his
rulings were questioned. The state
ment that Henderson players
warned Cumberland against Pence
is also heard with surprise, a.
Pence, assisted by Kirby, umpired
all the Henderson series here and
no Henderson player registered a
kick over his work.
The protested game is being
considered by the State Athletic
Association in Little Rock and the
Normal team is confident that the
final decision will be in their favor.
Mr.. Pence this morning made
an explanation of the circumstances
under which the disputed decision
was made. "At the beginning OF

No doubt you have tried salts and

cd beginning July 1, 1909.
In discussing the elimination Of
the dormitory building, Senator
Wingo gave it as his opinion that
the building should be erected.
He said it was true that the school
could get along without the dor
mitory for the girls, but that he
really thought the building should
be erected.
Senators Mcknight, Yopp and
Arnold favored the amendment on
the ground that the state treasury
is not in a condition at this time to
warrant expenditures that are not
absolutely necessary. Senator
Simms said that while he was OPP
posed to the building of the dormi
tory when it was first suggested,
he had changed his views after
consulting with the governor. He
said the governor had pointed out
that the city of Conway had put
up elegant buildings for the school
without cost to the state, and that
on that account the town is worthy
of favorable consideration at the
hands of the legislature. He said
the governor advanced the opinion
that if the revenue laws of the state
are revised to embrace the tax
commission idea, the deficit in the
general fund of the state will soon
be thing of the past. Senators
Toney and Keel favored the reten-
ton OF the forty thousand dollar
item.
Representative Simmons intro
duced yesterday afternoon a bill
appropriating an unexpended bal
anCe of S2I89 of the amount appro-
priated two years ago for the main
tenance of the Normal. AS no ap-
preparation can be made for long
er period than two years, the
amount appropriated by the last
general assembly would otherwise
revert to the general fund on May
