SUNDAYS CAME NOT
ANY REAL FINE
BASEBALL
Not a Game That Would
Make Big League Fans
Go Crazy Anyhow.
(By n. VI. Walker.o

By n. VI. WaIker)
Like the blOodhOunds in some Uncle
Tom shows, Rumsey was good Sunday,
but he had poor support. The fielding
and batting Of the Ell Paso club was de-
cidedly ragged and on the whole the
climax of the Douglas series was any
thing but a bowling success. Anderson
was advertised to pitch the Sunday
game but, because of the long trip he
had had from Cincinnati, he did not go
in, although he was out in uniform.
Rumsey. worked hard, served up an
assorted variety of curves and. with the
proper kind of fielding and batting
support he would have won the game
from Douglas. But the Mavericks were
milling like a lot of yearlings and
allowed Douglas to score three in the
first seven and as many more in the
eighth.
Ward, the top liner in the Demon
batting formation, got a single TO that
right field lot, went to second when
Smith sacrificed. was advanced to third
on Harper's easy one to Earthman and
scored on a wild pitch by Rumsey.
After that it was every other inning
that score was chased around the
bags until the seventh, when the run
getting was postponed until the eighth
and two were made, with one more for
good measure off of a Kane squeeze.
Some "ViOIent" Baseball.
Harper scored the second run in the
third, getting a single, a stolen base
and scoring off of Mathewson's single
to right. Gowan made a perfect peg
of the ball in returning it to the plato
and from the new grandstand the out
was an easy one. But umpire Ander
son called II safe. Then followed a
weird session Of Raging, during which
De Virgins, the regular umpire, start
ed in to make a double umpire game Of
it and was called off by LeBrand, who
refused to continue the game unless
Anderson was permitted to finish the
game alone. Bill Harper started to
clean up Harbuck and was led to his
bench by long Jackson and the wind
storm added its bit TO the anti baseball
demonstration, followed by light
showers.
How Some of Ii Happened.
Guynup, after being walked on
waste balls in the first inning, was
passed again in the fifth and dashed in
on the bet when &Ithrwson smashed
out q double to left center. In the
eighth, Mathewson got a single to

off neutral territory by Earthman when
Walters hit to the second baseman. Kai.
used his noodle effectively, Sailing
Matty until he tried for the plate when
Earthman threw him out to Merritt
LeBrand had taken second on a throw
to third to cut off Mathewson at that
plate and when Walters hit to Earth
man he beat it for third. A three
Dagger by Carlson to right when it was
least expected scored LeBrand and put
Carlo on third for a squeeze from
Kanes bat The squeeze was good for
another making the total runs for
Douglas.
What FL Paso Didn't.
Ell Paso logged along until the fifth,
hitting in the air, on the ground and
mostly to Carlson, who was covering
ground at second like a motor pillow.
No Ell Paso player got nearer home
than second base in the first four inn
ings. In the fifth, Merritt. a real
score-getter, hit d single to left, went
to second on Wright's putout. and to
third when Smith, of Douglas, missed
Rumsey's offering down shortstop way
Then came Duck Gowen. who has not
been hitting around 500 this season,
but he managed to connect with one Of
Kane's spitters for a single to left,
scoring the only run of the game.
Gowan got to second on Earthman's
put to Carlson but was stabbed by
Ward after he had booted Hewitt'si hit
to third.
Kane Was "GOing Good"
Horseshoe Kane continued 10 have
his usual lucky curve with him and got
away with two of the three games,
each of which he won for his club. Kane
is the original jinx of the FL Paso club
for he mixes EN- up so that The best
the local batters are able to get hit
in the air or into some fielder's hands
RUmsey deserved to win his game, as
he was going good after the second
inning but he failed to get the sup
port necessary and besides. those Doug
