BALL GAME
 ENDS IN ROW
North Ends Awarded Contest on
 Forfeit From ClOverS

The Clovers and North Ends have kick coming. Yesterday these clubs performed at Hairs lot in the North End, the contest ending in a fizzle. With the score 4-3 in the ninth in ming, so one of the Clover players says, with the North Ends at bat, two men on the bases, and two down, Player Jaggers hit over third base, the ball being blocked by a spectator. The Clover third baseman threw to sec ond, Jaggers being touched out as he slid into the bag. As it was the 'ast out, the Clover players ran from the field. The umpire, according to the Glover player, at the suggestion of the North Ends changed his de- cision, calling Jaggers safe at the base.
 The umpire, as the Clovers would rot consider a change in decision, forfeited the game to the North Ends An agreement had been arranged be- fore the contest that the winner should take 60 per cent. of the re- ceiptS. The ClOvers have a kick com ing, saying that nothing has been turned over to them. Manager Tay- Tor of the North Ends has another story to relate. He says that Jaggers' hit would have been good for three bases if not blocked, and that even though the ball was blocked, the run her should have been entitled to an extra base. Taylor makes the claim that as the Clovers did not finish the game he could not see his way clear to give them any receipts of the game.

White had perfect control of the spheroid letting the Orioles down with one hit, that by Irvy Laubscher in the second inn ing. He gave but one base on balls. Poor base running and coaching lost at least three runs for the Yosts, all of which was due to the poor work of Big Mike Smalling, who had an off day. For fear that injury might come to some of the younger witnesses of the game the management provided seats in center field for their accom- modation. The playing of Longden in center for the losers loomed up more so than any other fielder's work. Not one protest was heard on the de- cisions of Umpire Dan Shannon. The score.
