.BASEBALL'S ROWDY
ERA HAS RETURNED
Epidemic of Scraps on Diamond L
Here with All Its Old Vigor.

Before the opening Of the present
baseball season there was much de-
ploring the lack of fighting spirit
shown in the game. but II seems 70
US that the desire to nay the opposi-
ton and maybe to mutilate the per
sons Of an umpire or 80 a day is per-
meating the baseball armament again.
So far the current season comes
pretty close to hanging up a record
for battles verbally vitriolic and fsti-
calIy real, with players and umptres
comingling with starting frequency.
OF most prominence is the now eeie-
brated McGraw-Byron set-to. A few
days ago Babe Ruth. the star twirler
Of the champion Red Sox, got hur-
ried decision over Umpire Brick
Owens. Not long since this same UNI
pire found himself in a wild mixup
with st. Louis fans.
Pitcher Casey Smith, Of the San
Francisco club, chased Catcher Dan
Murray to the bench with a bat q
short time since. An umpire In the
Western League was all but put out
Of commission by enraged fans. Prob
ably half a hundred more cases could
be recalled where players, umpires
and spectators have engaged In bat
tie on the field within the past six
weeks or so. The boys who have been
asking for snap and action In every
game with q punch in every inning
are coming very near to a realization
of their hopes,

ninth, when Grover beat out an in

pitch, Grover going to third. from

was thrown out by Grover, but Leo
nard singled to right field, sending
Milan to third. Menoskey's single to
right scored Milan. Murray, the
former Brown University star, who
didn't hit the ball out Of the infield
all during the game, worked Falken-
berg for a pass, and the bases were
loaded. Ainsmith's single sent Leo
nard in, but Menoskey was pinched
after rounding third on the hit. and
was caught trying to get back to the
bag.
Comics workers matched these runs
In their half of the fourth. Bodie
singled sharply to center. The run
and hit missed fire, Bates popping up
to Shanks. 'McInnis. who mas been
a hitting demon during the past few
games, spun a scorcher to right held'
sending Bodie to third. Schang con-
tinued the attack by singing to right
field, sending Ping over. Grover got
a lucky single when his hopper TOOK
a bound over Shanks' head and went
into left field, McInnis conveying his
muscular self to the plate with the ty-
ing run. The rally ended when Col.
Lee Gooch, batting for the last time
with the Athletics. for some time at
least, took Falkenberg's place at the
plate and forced Grover.
Noyes faced the Nationals in the
fifth and pitched stunning ball from
then until the end of the game. In
the fifth, the Athletics forged ahead.
Witt was safe when Shanks fumbled
