El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-06-06

The crowd which accompanied the
club to Bisbea returned Monday morn
ing with two things on their mind One
was Rumsey's splendid work in the box
for FL Paso in the Sunday game and
the other was Mackey'S alleged unfair
ness toward Ell PasO- The team and
rooters could not say enough about
Rumsey's fine work in the. Sunday aft
ernOon game and the unanimous de-
cisiOn is that the Ell PaSOanS has it
cision is that the FL Pasoan has IT
II when il was most needed Sunday
The reason for the switch when Jack
son was sent in has been explained
Jackson was sent in to cross up Deakin,
left handler, who has a reputation as
batter second only to one Ty Cobb
Jack was getting away with the cross
up fine, having two strikes and three
balls on Deak when that person con-
nected with one in the grove and drove
/, to deep right for the winning run.
The other point that the returning
rooterS laid the most stress on was the
umpiring of Mackey in the Sunday
game. According TO the directors and
fans who went along. Mackey was plain
ly opposed 10 the FL Paso club and rem
dered his decisions with that in view.
According to one of the directors Ell
Paso is through with the Mackey man
and he will not be permitted to umpire
here again. Instead De Wiggens, the
former Kansas State league umpire,
II be given a chance to work in the
Cananea series here Saturday and Sun
day and if he gets away with it, he will
be retained regularly.
A formal protest Will be registered
against Mackey by the Ell Paso direc-
tors and the other managers will be
informed that FL PasO does not wish
that umpire here any more.
Gill, the big boy with the splitter. has
offered a place on the Philadel-
phia National league team as first base
man and pitcher.
He received the offer by wire upon
his return from Bisbee Monday morn
ing, but says lie prefers 10 finish the
season here and get in shape for the
opening of the next years season in
1911.
How would il be TO organize a rooters'
ard boosters club for FL Paso, similar
TO that of Bisbee and the Warren dis
trict? The rooters' association which
had its inception in the copper camp
only a little over month ago, has
done wonders to create interest in the
rational game, just at a point when it
was nee ded.
me 6iSOGG team was a game OF TWO
TO the bad when time came for the reg
ular season to open and the fans were
knocking long and loud. After Bisbee
had broken even with Douglas in the
first two openers, some of the real
live ones took hold and organized the
Warren District ROoterS' association,
with the primary object TO attend all
games provide themselves with noise
making devices, do all they could TO
boost the attendance, help sell tickets
and advertise the sport in general.
Their big parade, with 4e0 men in line.
on the eve of the Cananea series re-
suited in q turnout of over 1900 peO-
pie for two games, the Sunday game
seeing 1861 housed at the Warren park
with the Red Mems picnic to buck
against and it had carried between zoe
and 500 people out of town.
The rooters' club also aided mater
tally in entertaining FL Paso. with a
parade and ball Saturday night that
viii loEg be remembered.
The idea has taken root here and
