mon Saturday night, the final score be-
ing SO. The game so far as it went
was all right and satisfied the fans
baseball ardor. but when Umpire Hart
err called it at the end of the fifth
there was quite a demonstration and
the ball followers wanted to see the
contest continued, not because they
figured the locals would have another
seventh inning rally, but because they
wanted their moneys worth while they
were in the park.
Like practically every dispute the
criticism Of Harter has two sides. The
FAM take the view that the game was
announced as seven innings and that
1t was just as dark when the game
started as when his Jumps called it.
They figure that evening baseball will
hardly pay If they can only see five
innings.
On the other hand all the players
and umpires were glad to see the game
called because in the semi-gloom they
were liable to take a fast ball o the
anatomy at any instant, and somebody
tinued.
Harter Sent to Peg.
However the grievances of the fans
were satisfied for Harter did not or
would not ave umpired Sunday had
the game been played. President
Blume was called up regarding his
c%ancelling of the game in the fifth
and ordered Harter to Winnipeg. with
McGloom officiating here all by his
lonesome.
Personally we think Harter a first
class umpire, or at least his work up
to the calling of the game Saturday
night could hardly fail to please any
n In calling the game he undoubt-
eddy acted in good faith, not realizing
the view the fans took Of it. The
double umpire system is a good one
around or bases In at the same time
do Justice with balls and strikes and
we think those who were peeved with
Harter should have forgotten their
grievances and kept him here. The
game was called so what could be done
He could see the attitude Of the fans
and wouldn't be as likely to call a
game again Is he did then.
Now to the Game.
