Protest Of Contest

Manager Tim Flood last night
filed with Scorer John Watkins a
protest OF the game. Mr. Flood has
several grounds for this protest.
First OF all. the many violations Of
rules and mistakes Of Umpire Pierce
Another is the fact that the Clarks-
vile club is carrying more than
twelve men on the team Another is
the fact that one Of the visiting
players took seat aud mingled with
spectators in the grand stand
