Braves in Another Scrap.

CHICAGO, September ia fist fight
between Umpire Bill Byron and Red
Smith, third basenan of the Boston
Braves, marked the final game of the year
between Chicago and Boston today. Chi
cago won the contest, to 0.
After the game Smith rushed up to
Umpire Byron and the arbiter walked
to meet him. Both exchanged words, and
Byron lodged around several of those who
had gathered about the two and made a
lunge at Smith. He apparently made two
swings at him, and was rushing his man
when big Bill James. the Boston pitcher,
Lut his arms about the umpire and lifted
him to ore side
Smith came back with his arms swing
ing wildly and Umpire Orth attempted to
stop him. Smith was infurated, and
seemed about to hit Orth when his team
mates stepped into the fray and escorted
Smith to the clubhouse The umpire
then walked to the dressing room. Sew
eral hundred of the fans who witnessed
the clash cheered Byron.
Umpire Byron refused to comment on
the battle, merely stating that he would
make his report to the president of the
league However, several of those who
were close to the participants said that
Smith was riding Byron because of
his decisions on balls and strikes, and
that the two had engaged in strong per
sonalities prior to their coming together.
News of President Tener's decision on
the arbiter's report is eagerly awaited
about base ball headquarters here. The
Braves have fighting chance for the
National League pennant. and already
have three of their regulars out of the
lineup. These are Schmidt, MaranvilIe
and Snodgrass.
Incidentally, the game was won by
Frank Schultz, who drove q liner over
the screen in right field for the only run
of the game. This lone tally, coupled
with the mastery pitching of Phil Doug
lass. who worked his first game for the
locals since coming here from the Brook
lyn club, was enough to win.
Douglass allowed but three scattered
hits and struck out ten of his opponents.
