EVANS
OF HONEST ROOTER
Decides Bert Shotten Out at Plate After Going Into Consultation
With Fan in the Beachers Whose Say Is Taken as
Honest-Sheridan an Overrued.
By SENATOR"

CHICAGO. July 2O.-There is at least
one honest man in st. Louis. He was at
Sportsman's Park yesterday. He sat
in the right field bleachers, one Of the
several throngs Of the American King.
when it was put up to him by the
hated and detested umpire, he render
ed a decision against the home team.
He might have given the visiting outfit
the victory, but that didn't bother him
a bit. When Billy. Evans asked him
frankly If Bert Shotten's drive had
gone into the bleachers, he replied
mo; it was In the wedge where the
screen joins the top of the wooden
fence" All hail to this honest fan.
There is hope yet for the republic, the
trusts and corporations notwithstand-
ing.
That was the strangest play of the
year in the big leagues. with two men
on at the time, Shotten lifted
fast one over Moeller's head. Every
body thought the ball had gone into the
bleachers for a home run until Danny
Moeller was seen jumping up to the top
of the fence and trying to dig the
ball out The pill itself was in plain
sight Of the stand. Just as Shotten was
turning third, Moeller succeeded in get
ting the ball. Gandil's relay to the plate
caught the speedy Brownie by foot.
But Immediately there was a howl
from StovalI and his accompanying
Brownies. They asked Jack Sheridan
about IL. He decided that it was a
home run. Then there was howl from
Clark Griffith and his Climbers. who
came tumbling out of their -dug-out to
join in the argument. Finally Moeller
sauntered up to the group and told
Evans that the ball had not gone over
the wall, but had lodged in the creyice
between the screen and the fence. He
denied that any fan had aided him in
getting the ball.
Wen go out and see ii for our
selves" said Evans and there ensued a
stately parade to the fence the fans in
the bleachers all focking to the men

CHICAGO, July 20-Today Dixie Joe
Boehling. the smiling. belt-pulling south
paw from Richmond, Va, will attempt
for the second time to equal the sue
cessive victory record of 1913 in the big
leagues. He failed in St. Louis be-
cause Billy Evans didn't see Bert
Shotten swing on third strike. but he
says that 1t won't be any little thing
like that to interfere with his mark to-
day.
Boehling and Walter Johnson wit

heat of the Mound City.

Evans where the ball had landed. the
latter said to a fan; We're you here
Yes" replied the American King. Il
was close to the place and saw Moeller
take the ball out of the crevice."
Did you assist him. asked Evans.
No, he took it out himself" was TIE
answer.
Then Shotten is out" was the deci-
sion of the best official in the league.
But he had taken the word of a st.
Louis fan, who had ruled against the
Brownies, thus proving to the world
that there is at least one honest man in
the Mound City.
There was another funny decision, too.
in that final scrap with the Brownies
and for time II had everybody guess
ing. Morgan had walked in the fifth
and Foster swung on ball. sending II
dribbling out to second base. He failed
to run, however, and Morgan made a
despairing slide into second only to be
tagged out By Johnny Lavan. the Wild
fire shortstop. Then came all the ex-
element Billy Evans sent Foster down
to first base and ruled Morgan safe.
What's the matter?" roared several
thousand fans.
Hey, BILL" shouted the official
scorer, a kindly gentleman, what's
that decision?"
But the game vas going on. Stovall
having got in his kick on the play, and
it remained for Chick Gandill to come
to the rescue of the fans and the
scribes. He volunteered the informa ton
that Sam Agnew had interfered with
Fosters swing at the ball and so the
midget was given his place on first But
while the crowd was cropping in the
dark there was some wild excitement.
Unlike the first three combats. there
were few really startling plays in yes
terday's contest. Once Gandii gathered
in Austin's roller and beat him to the
bag with mighty dive. but that wasn't
really thrilling. Howard Shanks circled
around couple of times for fly balls
but nobody cheered. Indeed. IL was
a perfectly ladylike game until it broke
up in the ninth.

cost Hedges $500, but that's nothing. The
players were impressed by the thorough
ness Of their boss.
When George Stovall was suspended
and fined by Ban Johnson this year for
assaulting Umpire Ferguson, who should
have been drawn and quartered, not
merely assaulted, Hedges had an ex-
cellent chance to skate on thin ice. He
intended to be on the right side. II
Johnson barred StOvall from the league,
1t was to have been Hedges plan. II
he. allowed him to play again. that, too,
was 20 have been Hedges plan. He
didn't intend to lose, no matter what
! happened.
StOvall insisted on Hedges writing a
letter to Ban Johnson. asking for action
in the matter. But Hedges denied that
this letter had been sent. That might
have placed him on Stovall's side before
the public and, II Johnson ruled against
the manager, the magnate would be
coupled with him. Colonel Hedges is
too clever lad TO lose out in such a
mXup. He would forego the support OF
the fans rather than be shown on the
wrong side.
Then. when Johnson allowed Stovall
to resume his control of the Brownies,
Colonel Hedges pranced out into the
: Iimelight. looking for appiause. There
wasn't any for him, but II, was in a
receptive mood, nevertheless
StOvall's relations with Colonel
Hedges cannot be said to be smooth.
quently in the manager He doesn't
hesitate to bawl out Hedges, not for
publication, Of course, but sometimes
ne is heard at this duty. Yes, il is
the duty Of every manager in St. Louis
to take the bull by the horns just as
long as Colonel Hedges is allowed to
lead the team there.
Secrecy is the cornerstone Of baseball
for the Browns ma-snate. No inforrna-
ton is ever given out by Colonel Hedges
for the benefit OF the st. Louis fans
