URDAY'S GAME
Insisted All Balls Should Be as Low
as Hips or They Would
Be Called as
Strikes

Trouble is brewing in the ranks of
the Citrus Belt baseball league and
considerable ill-feeling is felt on both
teams of the Cotton and San Bernar-
dino high school aggregations. A sworn
statement has been filed by members
of the Cotton high school regarding the
game played on the Cotton high school
diamond last Saturday in which the
Cotton high school team lost on ac-
Umpire Mccall.
Now that the Cotton high school team
has had time to think the matter over,
they say San Bernardino is welcome to
all the good they can get out of the
baseball victory last Saturday De-
spite the manifest intention of Umpire
Mccall to win the game on decisions,
it would have been impossible had it
not been for Pitcher Branch breaking
down, for Cotton, 1t Is alleged, out
played Berdoo on every point up to the
seventh inning in the game in dispute.
1t was the unanimous verdict of the
spectators that Mccall deliberately
went wrong, and this is borne out by
Forest Branch, who makes the follow
ing affidavit;

The blame does not attach to the San

In all probability the matter will be
