JEERED AT UMPIRE.
Brennan Received No Mercy When
Injured During Game.

New York. Aug. 26.-The crowd at
the Brooklyn-ChicagO game yesterday
had an unusual diversion in the trou-
bles of Chief Umpire Brennan. ami
as usual little sympathy was offered
the umpire.
Three times Brennan was painfully
hurt when balls struck him A hot
foul scraped his shin just after the
game opened and he hoped about IN
pain Another foul struck his mask
with such force that Brennan had to
call time for minute until the pain
of the blow had eased. In the eighth
inning a pitched ball went through
Archer's hands and landed on Bren-
mans chest. The crowd. having no
mercy. jeered and hooted.

1t Denver be dropped from the West

ing that Denver doesn't belong to a

are numerous reasons for the dissat-
isfaction among fans in other cities as
well as in Denver. not to speak OF
managers.
Denver is not a good baseball town
compared with other Western League
points
1t requires a first division team or
league leader to bring out the crowds
1t is too far away geographically
from the other cities which are COM
paratively punched"
The altitude, climate and baseball
weather" in the 'mile-high" city are
entirely different from that in the
other cities, working a decided disad-
vantage on visiting teams which can
not become acclimated in the brieS
