HOW 1T HAPPENED.
Hancock Players Best Mud Horses and
Won Two Games.

Some light was thrown on the uneN-
pected double defeat Of the Calumet
baseball team M Hancock yesterday.
.hy Calumet fan who witnessed the
games. According To the version OF
this enthusiast il was not case of
too much Hancock. but too much of
IIancock's sticky. sticky clay diamond.
The home team proved the better mud
horses and won.
Because of the insistence OF some
eighty fans, who had paid TO see the
games. the Hancock management in
structed Umpire Pascoe 10 call the
games. and he obediently responded
said the fan this morning. THE
grounds were a sea of mud. in fact so
wet that several bales of sawdust
soaked in kerosene refused to burn on
the surface. An attempt was made To
run roller over the dryest portion or
the field but so much clay accumu-
lated on il. that to keep the diamond
intact. the effort was abandoned. The
caretaker suggested that a diamond be
laid out on some other portion Of the
field and the Calumet players offered
to play an exhibition game upon it
TO satisfy the crowd, but despite the
fact that the umpire admitted that the
ground was unfit, he called the game
"A rather amusing feature was the
refusal of the players To go into the
mud after the ball when it landed
there. and the umpire was forced to
call the game until the balls were re-
covered.
"Renwick likes n clay covered ball
1t is nice and slippery and because of
Il. he hit three batters in succession
in one inning yesterday"
The Calumet management was urged
to protest the games but refused, stat
ing there was nothing at stake.
