Missoula plays the Skyscrapers 3:Su
o'clock Wednesday. Double-headers
Saturday and Sunday.
Ten games that were to have been
played in Butte have been transferred
to Salt Lake. During the first week In
August ten games with Butte will be
played in six days. The deal was COM
pleted yesterday and Mcoloskey says
he is glad to come back. Local fans
reciprocate this sentiment except when
he uses Remneas too often.
All revoir Home Run Billy. The
Blanksox are minus one. In Lucas asso-
cIatlon a ball player can assault an UNI
pire lust once, but never again. Bushmen
who cannot tell the difference between
the umpire and the ball or who arc 1ust
as apt 10 hit one as the other. shoulo
play ball In comparative seclusion- Ger
iainly they cannot indulge in the prac-
tce and remain In the high class Union
n is true that Umpire Toman's vision
has not been so good tho last rev games
as Il was at first but no one doubts thal
he is giving decisions as he sees them
and that Is all that can be asked OF an an
umpire. Perhaps Butte did get niue
the better OF the decisions yesterday al
though McCloskey declares the reverse
is true. Al any rate no sensible person
believes that the umpire is pre)udiced-
Yesterdays game at Cooley park was
one OF the most enjoyable OF the season
The home team snatched victory from
the Jaws OF defeat Notwithstanding the
fact that NcCloskey put in ReUneas at
the seventh inning, The heavy hitting 81, oi
the Skyscrapers pounded out triumph
by the score OF 6 TO y.
BY far the most sensational incident OF
the season was the assault on the UNI
pire by William Fortier whose nom dc
bat Is "iIome Run Billy" His eye was
4 little worse than the umpires, for atter
two strikes had been called on him in the
last half of the seventh inning, Foruer
let good ball 90 by When the umpire
properly called him out, he ran down 10
standing. The Butte players had gone
TO their bench and there was no one
To interfere when Fortier. using his open
hand, slapped Tonlan In the race twice;
ToInan merely defended himself and did
not try 70 fight back. although he Is an
expert boxer and very likely could have
more than taken care OF himself had he
cared to do so. Toman pushed Fortier
away from him and then McCloskey ran
between them.
Tht. crowd was astouished into silence,
Fortier was led TO the players bench and
told that the umpire had fined him 81
and banIshed him from the park for the
game. on top OF this decision came the
sentence of w. II. Lucas. president OF the
Union association. who decrecd that For
tier must pay $50 fine and be suspended
for the balance Of the season The con
sti5uiion of the association makes $40 the
maximum fine.
or course II was TOO bad. Hitters like
Forlier are needed just now, but until a
player learns 10 control MS temper ne
Is apt 10 make some bad break In the
game at any time. An aggressive coachcl
can always rattle a player who cannon
hold his temper.
