 If old Pop Chadwick, the lnVellloF of baseball, whose mortal sne,A ny rests meath the daisies, coulu il0E sae,, Flynn playing the leading role . t.. s~rbe Ouitter'' at Newfield park 1,es+erdav afternoon, there is no ooupC in our minds but what old Pop would have asked himself the question: .'nid T mean that baseball should De played that way?"
 TSbe fierv-eyed, unshaved and loose Iv clothed leader of the New Lon i don Planters pulled off stunt at the E,a ole street lot in the first inning or vegterdav's game that increased the death of Eastern league fifty per cent And Flynn had the able assistance of his entire gang of men who are supposed to be in the employe or Morton F. Plant, one of the leaders in New England society. Morton, you've got fine tlock or birds working for you! 'Nou1 that we've spilled that much ou+ of our system, here's what hap nened in a few minutes at the park yesterday:
 If was the beginning of the first inning, Brady, the first man at bat TOT New London singled over third, ana went to second on Roy Messenger easy grounder to Ray Grimes. Frank O'Rourke, who rode on a grasshop- pers back from the bushes to the big show and then back again, hit a hard grounder to third.
 Billy Tai, our Celestial celebrity, stopped the ball and trapped Brady going to third. Tai ran Brady back toward second and tagged him. O'Rourke reached first and figured that Brady would stay in the trap until he (O'Rourke) could make sec ond, but like a flash Tai, after touch ing Brady, whipped the ball to first, Grimes mailing the third baseman as he attempted to get back to first.
 Umpire Stockbridge declared both men out. As soon as O'Rourke saw Stockbridge wave him out, he dash ed for the umpire and attempted to jump down his throat. Jack Flynn and the rest of his team made a circle around Stocky that reminded us of a crap game at Lordship park.
 Flynn and O'Rourke juggled the umpire around, and called him every thing imaginable. The going got quite rough and Flynn was ordered t1Nn dc He refused to move. Police assist ance was asked for by the umpire but did not arrive until later.
 Flynn finally walked to the dug out and sent Freddy Reiger to play first Garry Fortune pitched one ball to Martin and Flynn rushed on- to the field and called Fortune and the other players to the bench. Flynn took the order to quit from Jimmy Linicus, the clubs secretary. Flynn must be a good manager when he allowed the secretary to give him orders.
 The field was flooded with fans the minute the visiting players left their positions. Umpire Stockbridge waited a while and announced that the game was forefeited to Bridge port, to 0. The fans did not like the idea and circled around the New London bench with hopes that the teams would take the field and re- sume play but Flynn would not play out the game unless he was allowed to return. It would be a direct viola. tion of the rules to allow him to play and therefore all bets were off.
 And the whole thing happened or Bat and Ball Fund day, the day which was set aside for the benefi of our soldier boys now in France Fifty per cent of the receipts were tt be turned over to the fund. Flynn certainly used poor judgment and dis played a laxity of patriotism when h. ordered his club off the field
 Manager Krichen wanted to pla, an exhibition game in order to pleas the fans but Mongre1 Flynn and hi pirates made a quick exit from tn park. It was remarked after .thC game by many of the regular fan that they will not attend any nor games at Newfield when the Ney London club is booked as the attrac ton.
 President Dan O'NeiI of the East ern League could not be found to giv an opinion on what would be the out come of the action of Manager Flynr This is only the second time such a affair has disturbed the Easter League and as was the case in tn other instance, action will probabl be taken fast and red tape dispose of.
 Umpire Stockdales report, forfeit ing the game to Bridgeport, had nc been received at Eastern lesSv headquarters last night and probabl will not arrive before today. Unt tn report is received no official cos nizance can be taken of the occul renee.
 According to the rules of the le; que, by Flynn's action the New Lor don club forfeits not only the gan but it's share of the gate receipts. N, only that, but it is liable to a fir of $10O. Official action must nece sarily wait upon the umpire's repor but it is entirely probable. howeve that the New London club will r ceive official notification from Pre- ident Dan O'Neil next week that u game is forfeited and that it is fin,
 t1o0. Following this. the club W.
