the second of double-header with
Boston Saturday. Joe won his game.
Lincoln Star: Milo Stratton con-
firmed the opinion of this departm ent
printed under the st. Joseph announce
ment of the game forfeited yesterday,
that the Lincoln boss claimed the right
to decide whether or not the grounds
were fit for play. Stratton says that
the stories from St Joseph relative to
the fracaS with Morgan were exagger-
ated. McGraw had winged a runner
out at third on double steal, getting
him by a wide margin, so wide that
even the st. Joseph players were sur
prised when Morgan called him safe.
Then Meinke hunted and the runner
brought in the tying score from third.
This did not tend to make the Lopes
love Morgan and when Mccormick
was put out at first when he was fair
~ safe, Packy put up a kick and was
elected before he had more than time
to open his mouth. When Stratton,
Dundon and MeGraw went out to see
what was the matter, the jumps imme
diately tied a can to them. Stratton
alleges that the Lincoln players had
made no attack on Morgan, not even
calling him by those sundry epithetis
with which some ball players are ac-
customed to belabOr an jumps at times.
He remembers the numbers of times
that his croOkedness has been shown
up mere ana ne was going TO get even
when he was safe in doing So He did.
Yesterdays game would have been
played in a rain which was falling at
the time that Morgan wished to start
play and which continued all after
noon. The diamond was sluggish from
the downpour of the previous day and
the seats were as empty as the purse
of the spendthrift. The idea of play
ing was an absurdity. 1t is to be hoped
that Prexy Despair will file a pro-
test.
Pueblo Chieftain: Although the team
is doing right we'll a number of fans
are getting in the habit of saying what
Isbell should have done after the dam
age has been done. If you have any
time or keep still. Then maybe you can
get a job as assistant manager or
something of the kind.
Mckee and Weaver are slated to do
the umpiring here for the balance of
the season. Umpire Haskell deciding
that the altitude here is not beneficial
to his health.
Middleton and Belden were the hit
ting kids yesterday. "Rox" secured
four out of five and Belden three out
of four George Hughes also drove in
two runs at important times.
