RAW DEAL FOR
FANSATP ONCY
PARK ON 18th
It's Up to the Local Association to
Honor Rain Checks for the
Second Game.
BY w. S. FarnsWOrth.

HTE have been bunked so many
w times on fake fights that it
doesn't sting when we are
forced to separate ourselves from a
perfectly good two-dollar bill now
adays to see a pair Of alleged boxers
stall through ten rounds.
But we had always considered that
, the good game of baseball would net
US full value return for our money.
Yesterday however we were held
up" and our pocketbook picked with
the skill of an expert light fingered
gent.
1t came first in the morning at
Poncy Park. The Crackers and Pei
leans were scheduled to play to a fin
. ish. Instead the game was called at
the end Of the tenth inning with the
score two-all. 1t was then five min
utes after ! o'clock.
Should Have Played Il Out.
All the rest of the afternoon was
open and the game should have been
played out. But, of course, a tie game
is always played off. Thereby the To-
cal association Will net great profits
with a double-header on the next trip
of the Percans here
We stood for that bit Of highway
without squealing.
But what a yell we did let out about
o'clock last evening.
The Crackers and Pelicans met
again in the afternoon They had bat,
tied four innings when it started
raining
Seven thousand fans waited the
usual 80 minutes.
The umpires didn't come out on
the field and declare themselves one
way or the other
Five thousand fans took it for
granted that everything was off for
the day. The elements had cheated
them out of an opportunity to wit
ness what would have probably
proved a mighty interesting battle.
But they were COnsoled by the
fact that tucked away in their coat
pockets We're rain checks. They would
yet be given a run for their money.
Brooms Swept OF Water.
Exactly one hour and five minutes
after the game had been called the
umpires, players and ground keepers
appeared on the field. Brooms swept
the tons of water off the base lines
and play was resumed.
The management didn't want 10
honor those rain checks If one more
: inning could be played they were in
hundreds Of dollars. The Pels held a
TO l lead. They never figured the
Crackers would tie up the count in
the fifth But they did. Then the
game went on for two more innings,
and again it was called on account
Of darkness, and still a tie
The fans were "stung"
And we would suggest that Presi
dent Kavanaugh, for the good Of the
game, investigate.
Likewise, the local association, If
they take our suggestion, will still
honor those rain checks

Anderson let 60 chop with the right

tween him and the mark. He tried
for the head and thon dropped it for
the short ribs. Nothing doing

block that one
They spared a moment. Anderson
let go a left hook for the head and

He was stalling for a chance to use

a smile. But there was a lot more
Anderson had not figured on. Leach

Down went Anderson. He was up

Yesterday he took the rugged An

the body which opened the fray to
the last sizzling right hook that fat
tened him for ten minutes-never
