Sioux City Tribune: Sioux City was
treated to its first exhibition of rowdy-
ism on the part of fans Saturday:
decision by Umpire Gardner. which
undoubtedly was unfair to the local
club, almost precipitated riot and
made him the target of continual
stream of vituperation and abuse for
the rest of the game. This department
is not defending Umpire Gardner. put
that an umpire is not infallible. There
was no occasion, however, Tor the De

" in view of the fact that it was won
by the home team. A couple OF nun
dred of the more rabid fans remained
after the game and hurled cushions.

the screen, which was between them
and the Jumps" whether there
matter OF conjecture, but nobody was
seen trying to get onto the field where
Gardner stood. Neither were any of
the bloodthirsty bugs in waiting when
Gardner finally left the park.
sioux CITY Journal: Mckee, the new
umpire in the league, was working
with Morgan. He is a youngster, but
did a good job as field umpire.
Lincoln News: With eight pitchers
on the local staff, President Despair
finds himself in the predicament that
recently confronted the Denver man
agement. A staff of eight twiriers is
generally too many to get the desired
results.
The Denver Grizzlies can't complain
that the luck is breaking adversely.
In the Sunday game with Topeka the
Bears got to F'ugate for only six hits,
although they harvested a total OF five
runs. Last Thursday in Lincoln the
Grizzlies landed for eight hits and
counted six TALES. Lincoln had the
same total of clouts. but failed to reg
lister a single run. Free passes on
balls and Lincoln's inopportune errors
decided the ball game. There is heap
to the pastime aside from the swatting.
Sioux City Tribune: Ignoring the
wishes of many fans who voted in IA
vor playing Sunday games at Mizzou
park. and repudiating the promise
made to the Tribune that they would
play down town if the fans desired it,
three of the stockholders of the Sioux
City baseball club Saturday noon de-
cided to play yesterdays game at Riv-
erside.
