Umpire Cooper WAS in his time a
remarkably COOL player. He could
hit with any OF the old Kitty Leag-
uers in addition to fielding his posi-
ton in superlative style, but he "a a
rank failure as an arhiter Of base
ball games, if his work Of yesterday
is to be accredited as criterion. He
unquestionably gave Cairo, through
a bad decision at second 5acn the
first run. In another instance, the
fourth inning, his decisions, lnflu-
enced by his flight in the air, robbed
Cairo of two runs However, after
Cairo had the game safely pocket ID,
he reversed himself and in the
ninth inning handed several bad
packages to the visitors.

Tho local team out-classed the

The visitors seemed to lack team

ability as Uncle John Marin, who

the team won the pennant the first
season and finished second the last
half.
Tho most disgusting thing of all
was the work Of Umpire Cooper.
Officers Of the local baseball asso-
citation last night sent telegram to
President Bassett praying for his
immediate discharge from service in

Twice Cooper cost the locals runs.
Once James attempted a steal home

he had cost Cairo two runs In the
first part Of the game.
Cooper would have about as much
chance in an umpires' heaven as a

Cairo made its first tally in the
initial inning when, after Lewis
flew to Wright Everett singled, but
was out at second. Smith singled
and stole second and scored on Dunn

flew to Weber.
The lone tally Of the visitors came
