petent Umpires to Be Secured.
The baseball teams of Bismarck and
New Leipzig met at League park at
6:45 p. m. Wednesday. Everyone
looked forward to a close and excit-
ing game which might even run into
an extra inning game. However, the
exact opposite was the outcome. Cor
ner-lot ball would have been remark
able as compared with the article put
up Wednesday and there was a con"
slant wrangle over decisions of the
umpire.
| After seven innings had been played
and New Leipzig came to bat in the
eighth, there was wrangle over de-
cision and as a result the Bismarck
team was called in and the umpire
i forfeited the game to the visitors.
Neither team was in any kind of
condition to play. They lacked gin
ger and played in only a half-hearted
sort of way. There were nineteen
errors scored, twelve on Bismarck and
seven on New Leipzig.
The Bismarck team needed just
such an occurrence to give it touch

Another thing that was sorcibly de-
monstrated was the need o. competent
umpires. There has not been game
here this season but what there has
been a general howl about arbiters OF
the game. Last nights exhibition

in the city in the future will he as
scred that no such wrangling or
smrapping will be eeen at the
League park again his SEASON. The
management will secure two neutral
umpires who are compel ent to umpire
and will employ them during the re-
mainder of the season. The uHpires
will not stand for any back talk from
either the visiting team Of home team
and games that are played here in The

The New Leipzig tern is composed
of a gent:er,aay bunch q players.
1t can play ball, but it suffered from an
attack of similar nature Gs that
which overcome the White Sox and
they did not play their usual good
game.
| Fleming. who pitched the first five
innings for New Leipzig pitched Sun
day and again Tuesday, and then start
ed the Wednesday game. 1t proved
too great a strain and he was not up
to his usual standard.
Wagner. who pitched for Bismarck.
did excellent work and scored nine
strike outs in the innings that were
played. With errorless support he
would have won the game.
Bismarck was ahead at the time OF
FORGETTING the game. but whether it
would have been SO at the end OF
the game, had it been completed, Is OF
course uncertain. The score for the
seven innings that were played fol-
