MoleswOrth Protests

Though apparently tucked away safely in the New Orleans win column, this game may be thrown out, as Manager Molesworth gave notice to Umpire Pfen- ninger that he would enter a formal pro- test to President Kavanaugh. Molesworth is protesting the result on the grounds tEat Pfenninger would not let him send in Pitcher Kent to relieve Pitcher Foxen in the sixth inning. Here were the cir cumstances: Kent had been sent out to warm up when Storch led in the sixth with a single, advanced on a sacrifice and Manush walked. Kirke was next up and Foxen had pitched a strike and a couple of balls to Kirke when Moles- worth ran out, interrupted proceedings by ordering Foxen to the bench and Kent into the game.
 It was not until Kent got into the box that Manager Frank sent his representa- tive, Hyder Barr, out to protest to Pfen- ninger, and it was then that Pfenninger told Molesworth that Foxen would have to finish pitching to Kirke. After some argument Molesworth called Foxen from the bench and Foxen finished out the game, though Kent pitched practically whole ball game behind the curtains in the warming up process. ready to go in whenever FoXen got into- hole, which was pretty often. Molesworth claims that under the rules pitcher can be relieved at any stage of the game after one man is out, which was the case in the sixth inning
 Frank claims that Pfenninger should have sent Kirke to first base as a pen- alty for Kent going into the box, although Kent did not toss a ball to the batter.
 The weakest part of Molesworth's pro- test appears to me, however. that this did not affect the result as Kirke' hit into a double play, and the side was retired He had ample opportunity to send Kent into the box the next inning if he had thought Kent could do a better job of 1t than Foxen.
 The score at that time was 2 to 1 in favor of the Barons, and that's the way 1t stood from the fifth inning to the ninth, when the Pels put over their win ming two.
 That Rally
 
 Manush started this inning with a walk. kirke then singled and the ball hit in puddle of water just in front of Hanna. This enabled Manush to go on to third. After Angemeier went out on a grounder to short, Johnston hit one to McGilvray Big Bill held the ball too long, and then threw on the ground to Elliott, Manush sliding across the pan with the tying run. Callahan, next up, hit a long fly to Yantz, and Kirke went across with the winner.
 The Barons hit Klawitter rather freely in the first part of the game. They made their fist run in the third, Phelan's cork ing double scoring Yantz, who mad walked and swiped second. Elam led off in the fifth with a single, went to sec ond on an infield out and scored on Yantz's single.
 The Pes made their first run in the fifth on a walk to Angemeier, scratch hits by Johnston and Callahan and a sac- rifice fly by Knaupp. The Pels threat ened rally in the eighth, when Knaupp rapped out three bagger, one of the hardest hit balls of the season here. When Klawitter and Storch failed to bring him in, Frank sent Hyder Barr in to bat for Deane, but Hyder whiffed, the only man Foxen famed.
 The ninth inning stuff pleased a large home audience immensely. Score:
