Giants In Riot
 At Havana Because
 Of Ump's Decision
Crowd Swarms on Field When
 McGraw Insists Upon Expul-
 sion of Cuban Catcher

Havana, Nov. 27-There was near riot here yesterday over the baseball game between the New York Giants and the Almaderes. which the latter won by the score of to 4.
 The Almaderes questioned a decision of Umpire Rigler in the eighth inning allowing Doyle to score after Fletcher had flied out. The Cubans claimed that Doyle did not touch third after the ball had been caught. The Cuban catcher called Manager John McGraw an insulting name, whereupon the New Yorker demanded the Cuhan's expulsion from the field. Rigler or- dered the catcher to leave the grounds. but the Cuban players made strong kick and the public angrily invaded the field and threatened the New York players with violence. McGraw then ordered his men to withdraw and they had started to obey when the Cuban catcher withdrew and the game was resumed.
 The Giants won Saturdays game by ito 1 with Mathewson pitching.
