Again, Umpire Catalan, bad as
he may have been, was at least hon
est in his intentions. AS much can
not be said of the two Tonopah |
games, when Umpire Morris on balls |
and strikes in the first game filched
three runs from Goldfeld at critical
moments. according to unbiased
spectators. In the second game
there were two of the Morris clan
Iumpiring, one, Bud" Morris, being
a regular Tonopah player. His in

The Tonopah howl about unfair
ness would also be better received
had Tonopah given half the support
to the games that Goldfield has. On
June Is, at the time of the knights

Goldfield persons attended the ball
game. Goldfield received $40 for
her share of the receipts. On June

the players to see the game in
Godfield. Tonopah received $164.

games played here.
i Ergo, Goldfeld has given loyal
support to the intercity contests,
and Tonopah has not. An interest
ing feature of the game on the
Fourth is that the Tonopah players
waited until settlement had been
made between the clubs, and the
$254 was divided among the play
ers. Then all scattered about the

The pitiful chatter about Tono-

how Umpire Catalan robbed the
visitors is fearful enough to be
