KICKS ON DECISION.

New York, June ga mighty howl
Of protest is being emitted In this city
today by George Rodel. the Fighting
Boer," who lost last nights night to
Gunboat Smith. the dilisent little crush
er Of white hope aspirations.
Smith proceeded to whale the life out
Of Rodel in the third round OF their
scheduled ten-round fracas. Twice he
sent the Boer gentleman to the mat, and
twice the Boer hoisted his frame to .
standing position. Smith soaked him
again, and for the third time Roders
frame walioped on the floor.
Billy job. referee. although not anil
ated with the Humane Society, decided
that II was cruelty to Rodel to permit
the fight to continue longer.
Just as job turned around after per-
forming this little duty he saw Rodel
arise to his feet. When Rodel discov-
cred that job had given the fight 10
Smith without going through the motion
of counting him out. Rodel became
nightly yexed. He appealed for q re-
versai Of Jobs decision. but job refused
to reconsider. saying that. in his opia.
ion, Rodel was in no condition to hgnt.

CONSIDERS PROTEST.

New York. June &.-President Lynch,
of the National League, today Is consid-
ering the somewhat unique protest regis
tered with him yesterday by President
Gaffney. OF the Boston Braves. Carney
has asked Lynch not to experiment with
young umpires during the playing season.
His protest came about through the sew
eral seemingly poor decisions made In
the Giants-Braves games by Umeire
Quigley. recently secured from the In
ternational League.
Lynch's problem is: IF don't expert
ment with a new umpire during the play
ing season. when can experiment with
him."

ment in the Marquette League yester-

Humphreys. Of War, pitched one of
the best games of his career. allowing
only two scratch hits. Errors by Ray
and Sill lost him the contest.
Burch twirled for the winners, and did
not allow a semblance of a hit until the
sixth. but after that the War team gar
nered four singles and a double.
War Department should have overcome
the two-run lead, but its coaches were
not spry, and some stupid base running
resulted. Two fast double plays by st.
Stephens aided greatly in keeping War
out of the running. Score:

Howard Shanks threw his bat down in
disgust when Umpire Connolly called the
Monaco Marvel out in the eighth inning
yesterday as Shanks made a half swing
at an outcurve. The youngster was
promptly benched. for the first time
since he has been in the big show.
No wonder Shanks was peeved, this
strike decision was about on a par with
two decisions rendered by Umpire Nc.

Harper is only a kid, and stated that

a iattering offer. The Old Fox believes

Listen to his rawlings:
Washington harbors some of the most
blackguardly fans in the country. Day
after day they attend the games to huri
insulting epithets at the Athletics and
the umpires. They do not confine their
attack to matters of the diamond, but
make their insults decidedly personal
Eddie Collins was selected as the victim
of attack yesterday. Every time he came
to bat or figured in a fielding play
small coterie in the grand stand jeered
him. II affected Collins not at all. as
his record of four runs in five appear
ances at bat in the second game shows.
At the same time the Washington man
