 The Rrooklawn-st- Mary game play ed three weeks ago was ordered re- played by President Wagner The game was protested by Manager Hope of the St Mary team on the grounds that Umpire Moran erred in the de- cfsion he rendered in regard to wheth- CT or not double play was allowable after the umpire had called an in heId-f1y. Moran refused to allow the double play in the ninth inning with the score ue thereby enabling the Brook1awns to drive in the winning run John J. Heydler secretary of the National League said that the unlp was wrong according to the National League rules and the game was or dered played over It will be replay- ed the next time the two teams meet | in the form of a double header. Steve Darien has signed with the St Patrtcks and will be seen in the Hne-s up a week from Sunday. Steve makes the fifth St Joe player that has 1afe- Iy joined the league roster.
 Arbiter Moran was on the butt end of a, good joke in the fifth inning of the St Mary-Brookside game at the Meadows on Sunday last. A player | who had hut lately signed with the St Mary. team was at the bat and on ac- count of his being a. late addition to l the "Hopefufs,r Moran was not ac- quainted with him. The player start ed to draw a line about the plate so that the uu1p could have a better view | of the home plate. Moran fTnm ediafe- Iy called time and told the player to | sscut that out" The next ball pitch I ed Moran called esba11 two's and the 1 player again began drawing lines about the plate, thinking that the unnp had called both balls strikes Mo ! ran again called time and told the player that the next time he did that I he would be fined one dollar and put out Of the game By this time the crowd WAS In roars and Moran I couldn't see the Joke until Johnny. Hope manager of the St. Marys told him that the players name was Her. Ian and the fact that he was deaf and dumb. Every time anybody over on talk to him with their fingers and 'Muzzy goes up in the air.
 From my observations the past two months find that the Brooksdde team, which at the opening of the I league season was rated as the s.crab- biest" team in the league, is the most gentIernanly bunch of players in the league with the exception of one play I CT, an indelder, and at that he is cas- fly handled if the urnp only has a It. tie sand
 The westerns for the first time this season have fallen into the second division If the fans from Bostwick avenue will take my advice they will not worry as if is 3 to ? shot that the "Bravess will be in the running for the flag until the curtain Is rtrng down on the 1914 season
 I Joe strfckfus played a inc game at second base for the Lemon Morans' Sunday, accepting five chances with l out an error and getting a triple and single out of three times at the bat. Joe's old teammate Jack Mohyde will be in the lineup next Sunday.
 was looking over this Townsend of the St Mary team at the Mea dows last Sunday and believe me- fans, he is there with the stuff. With Town Mary team has without a. doubt the best pitching staff in the league. If Johnny can get hold Of good short stop and two classy outhe1ders "OId Man Grump' will bet 10 to 1 on the '.Hopefuls'' as the coming champions of the Park City League
 If Pop Moran would only attend all 5 of the games that his team plays and rule with an iron hands instead of at tending clambakes at the Railroad Mans Roost,s' his team would be
 much higher in the league standing than they are at the present time They tell me that Pop took a few ot his players and two umpires out tc Walnut Beach the other night to flz things up and they missed the last car for the Park City. They ought to join the Edward Payson Weston walking club and have their treasur- CT act as pacemaker.
 Parf1tt made his debut as a ParI City league umpire at Hairs Field or Sunday last and like all debutantes hia game was protested. The game wal protested on the grounds that he call
 ed the game in the seventh inning or account of rain even though the play
 CTS were willing to get wet. The ar bitter declares different however, say ing that the reason he called the game was the fact that there was no nor,
 balls to play with. The league ruler call for four balls to be furnished by
 the home club and as they didn't live
 up to the rules the St. Patriek's had to suffer the consequences-
