Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1914-09-03


La Plata team came down to Leonard
town and played the home boys a tie
game. They battled bravely for IL
innings without reaching q decision.
Although the home team scored S runs,
the umpire, Mr.. Blades, could not see
1t, and called ii. Camalier out at
home, which would have given Leon
ardtown the winning run. The deci-
sion was of the ''rankest" order, and
the umpire appeared not only unable
to see balls and strikes, but could not
give decision in favor of the home
team. II certainly detracts from the
game to have an umpire who either
does not know the rules or is so bia sed
in favor of one of the teams, as to be
unable TO render fair decisions.
The first three innings the La Plata
team only had nine men to face the
pitcher. In the fourth, however, they
scored four runs on q base on balls,
two-baggers and q single, coupled
with an error by Roberts, which
was responsible for two runs. After
this inning they were unable TO score
and appeared TO eat out of Camalier's
hands.
The home team started the scoring
in the first on two singles and a couple
OF passed balls; and again in the sec
ond, two more passed balls and two
hits enabled them to tally twice. In
the sixth inning III. Camalier led of
with two-bagger, stoled third and
was called out at home when Lynch
sent a grounder TO short, the ball being
thrown to first retiring Lynch and re-
turned TO the catcher. Camalier made
home standing up, and the decision
could only be considered of the rot
tenest and most biased character The
Captain of the Leonardtown team
should have called his men in and re-
fused to continue the game. From
this inning on the home boys were I'm
able to do anything with Chips"
benders and the game was called at
the eleventh on account of darkness.
The playing of G. Mudd,. for the
La Plata boys in the field, was par
ticularly brilliant; he also led the
visitors at the bat. Score by inaings:

Leonardtown, smarting under the
tie of Saturday, went over to Charles
county on Monday and what they did
to that ''mis-fit' in. La Plata was a
caution. Hits and runs were always
on tap, and it took only 7 innings to
demonstrate that the Leonardtown
boys had La Plata's goat. The final
score was IA to l. Camalier, for
Leonardtown, pitched his usual heady
game, while the La Plata's tried out
three pitchers.
The series between these two clubs
stands in favor of Leonardtown, with
three games won and one tie game,
while La Plata has not won a game.
While trying to stretch a three-bag-
ger into home run, Beale, the Leon
ardtown Shortstop, in sliding in home
plate, had his ear SO badly cut that
the doctor had To take five stitches in
same. Score by innings:
