Real rowdy toWnball seems to have
been the order of the day in that noisy
affair of Lincolis and Sioux City. the
Lincoln papers handle it rough shoo.
Lincoln Star: President Fairweatner OF
the Sioux City club states that he bases
his protest of tile Saturday game on
the decision OF Umpire Spencer giving
Jude a base on balls in the ninth in
ming. The decision came this way.
Andreas was stalling around register
ing a kick and the jumps ordered the
pitcher to get in the box and start
throwing them. Nothing doing Then
after about two minutes the jumps or
dered Jude, who already had two balls,
to proceed to first, awarding nm q
four-ba all walk. He proceeded uni der the
rule that reads, 1.-The umpire shall call
q ball on the pitcher each time he de-
laws the game by failing to deliver the
ball to the batsnlan for a longer per
iod than 20 seconds" an exception be-
ing made of the customary throwing
of the ball around before the game ana
at the beginnint; Of each half inning.
The Packing town magnate contends
that this rule only applies When the
PITCHER is in the box. The first rule
in the section makes this distinction
en- delaying the game by throwing 10
any one save the catcher unless In an
attempt to catch a base runner. Moth
ing is said, however, in the second rule
above quoted about the slab artist toe
irg the scratch. President F'a1rWeatner
contends that the pitcher should have
been put ort r. the game for refusal
TO continue with lay, and that the
tails should not have been given. The
Lincoln management does not think the
protest can possibly stand. They are
ready to file afidavits which Will be
hacked up by similar statements IRON
The umpires that Wilson waited .ot TWO
minutes without delivering a ball. They
think that the rule is plain and does
not require the pitcher to be IN ms DIX.
Moreover, it is asserted that rrofest
of a game must be based on decision
mich has something to do with the
score. The walk to Jude had no re-
suit. save to bring him up second in
the eleventh inning. AS he scored pc
fore ANYBODY else was out, MS coming
up third would not have attected the
result. So it looks like a pipe to Pres
ident Despair.
