The Proper CD Way

Cincinnati, June 29.-Following the ex- citing conclusion of the St. Louis-Cincin- natl game here today, Umpire Klem and Roger Bresnahan, manager of the St. Louis team got into an argument and Klem struck Bresnahan in the face. Be- fore Bresnahan could strike back the other players interfered and took him to the clubhouse. St. Louis had made a fine rally in the ninth, getting four runs. and with the run needed to tie on third with two out. Keefe pitched two strikes to Mowrey and Bresnahan protested strongly to Klem, claiming that the sec ond strike was balk. While Bresnahan was protesting Keefe put over the third strike, ending the game, to in favor of Cincinnati. Bresnahan made an enraged rush at Klem who met him with a straight right to the face.

OTHER BASEBALL TOPICS

l Chattanooga News: In 1909 Durham was considered a sensation. When he l and "Rube' Marquard went to the Giants in 1909 Durham was expected to prove a sensation. Yesterday Bull" was badly beaten by Savannah, a Class club Durham's career shows the rapidity of retrogression in baseball
 Mobile Register: When Burleson was bought local club officers were told that his strike outs averaged 12 to the game, but they thought this was an Ap- palacltian league occurrence, and not so in the Southern. where classy stick artists abound. But the pitching phenom showed that all leagues look alike to him by moving down his usual number of batters via the strike out route, 12 of the Vols being re- tired on strikes. And the best part about it most of them took their healthy swings at the ball, too, They just couldn't connect and exactly where they looked for the ball to break, that's exactly where it didn't.
 Chattanooga Times: The even break in Birmingham Is not bad, though the bugs would much rather have played yesterdays game and made it 2-1. The Lookouts would have landed on either Kent or Maxwell, the issue depending solely on the ability of their pitcher to stop the slugging tribe of Moles- worth.
 Manager McGraw of the Giants and Manager Griffith of the Red Birds are still loud in their demands that a care full investigation be made of the recent Chica go- Boston trade in which the Chi cago team greatly strengthened itself and the Rustlers received almost noth- ing in return.
 Both mana gers consulted with Chair man August Hermann of the national commission as to why practically every good Boston player was handed over to the Cubs in the recent trade. Manager McGraw naturally feels that it was done to make the Chicago club strong CT contender for the pennant and he will wage a fierce fight to have it locked into. Griffith says the Cincin- natl club is going to rise in the race,

The Game Opens

Marcan and Phelan opened the game by singling in succession. McBride's double scored them. In the second inning Barons reached third and second with none out Fritz forced Marcan, Phelan and Moles- worth to die ignoble deaths on pops and grounders. And in the third the visitors tied the score. Fritz started the work by doubling to right center. Swalm made an easy out but Phelan threw wildly to first attempting to head Baerwald, and Fritz took third. The runners were sub sequently scored on hits by Jackson and East and Caurtneys sacrifice fly.
 And in the fourth the visitors ran over three more. Crandall was walked. and Adams, springing a surprise, beat out bunt to third. A pass to Fritz filled the bases On Swalm's sacrifice fly to Me Bride. Crandall counted. Adams scored on Baerwald's double, and Fritz counted on Jackson's fly. East retired the side.
 In the sixth the Barons managed to close up on the Turtles and the closing was characterized by some fierce hitting and hard luck on the part of and for the Barons, and a general mixture of good and bad luck for Fritz. He was lucky that the Barons failed to score half a dozen. and unlucky in that the count would not have been tied but for the mis- erable showing of East.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-24

If. required nine innings for the Barons to defeat the Turtles, but the trick was turned The score was 6-5.
 It was a see-saw affair, which state of affairs was produced by the mud-rid- den field on which the scrap occurred. In the first inning the Barons scored twice. Then Memphis tied the score. In the fourth the visitors ran three addi- tional taIlies across and all but sewed if I'D. But in the sixth the Barons fell m Fritz like a ton of brick, and when the inning was concluded the score was again tied In the ninth the winning run counted.
 Mcbride and Swalm vied against each other for fielding honors. The Turtle got away with seven captures, some of them difficult, while the Baron copped five, four of them extremely difficult. In hitting Pitcher Kent accepts first honors. he faced Fritz four times, singled once and doubled twice again.
 The Baron finger had a decided edge on Fritz in hill work, too. The Turtle was easily solved, bat his remarkable luck continually rushed to his assistance. The Barons got IA swats, while to the outfelders Il drives were smashed h. tielders, on still other occasions, robbed local swatsmen with fendish glee. But the iinx which Fritz has held over the Barons from time immemorial was dis pelled in the ninth. Phelan opened with scratch to Courtney and was sacrificed. Mcbride beat out a grounder to Crandal, and Phelan took third McGilvray' smash was captured by Altman, however, and Phelan went out at the plate. Then Jim- mic Johnston combed one to deep left center and, had the day been fair and the sprint necessary, he could easily have reached home on the clout. Mcbride scored the winning run.

McGllvray started the trouble by beat ing out a hit to Courtney. Johnston smashed one to Altman which the Ger man, after a frantic effort, stabbed shooting McGuvray at second. Yantz then clipped in with single Elam hit one mile a minute to third, and Altman makin ganother excellent play. got Yantz at second. On Rents double Johnston scored and Ellam went to third. Ellam scored on Marcans single. With one run needed to tie, Marcan threw a spice of brains into the situation, feinting with a delayed steal. Adams threw the ball to East, and Marcan scrambled back 10 first East, in the meantime, stood jug glng the hall. and having failed in sey- eIal efforts 10 pick 1t up, Kent decided to score. He did so, and the count was tied.
 It is already explained how the Barons put over the winning run in the ninth. A double-header will occur this afternoon. Maxwell and Trough will probably pitch against Allen and Newton.
