LITTLE RIOT ON
BISBEE DIAMOND
Umpire Tonan Taken From
Field in Auto by Sheriff
to Save Him.

Baseball riots seem to be the pre-
vailing autumn style in the Cactus
league. Sunday afternoon another mob
scene from Julius Caesar was pulled
off at the Bisbee ball park, with UNI
pire Toman, the same who appeared
as leading man in the mob scene here
when Douglas was playing a return
engagement, was the leading man 1t
was in that ever loving ninth again
with two outs, the score and 6
against the home club and man on
third. Said man was Heinie Mag.
who took his nerve with him and at
tempted to steal home on Abless wind
up. Tomans decision at the plate was
adverse to the home team and the side
was retired in defeat
This was the cue. The field was in
stantly filled with fans and the air
with profanity. which was mostly d.
rected toward the umpire Sheriff
Jack White rescued Toman from the
crowd and toted him off in an auto.
One overenthusiastic fanlet got his face
slapped by one of the sheriff's deputies
for overacting the part and the ensu-
ing scene was a Ncorrect imitation of
Neros great fiddling act while Rome
burned.
AS sideshow attraction, captain
Graham, of the Maroons, is said by the
Bisbee papers to have impeached lit
tie Duckie Gowans veracity with the
result that the duck resented it with
all the heat of his southern Indiana)
blood after he had been ordered to
the bench and TO turn in his uniform
Marshall, the big pitcher for the
Maroons, is also reported to be off the
reservation and to have packed his
ditty bag for Los Angeles.
Bisbee will appear in Ell Paso for
a Friday, Saturday and Sunday series,
all of which will count in the schedule,
