Friday afternoon Umpire Joe Sulli- van invaded in new territory namely Taftville and to celebrate the event handed the game to the Taftville team. After the carmen had rallied in the last inning Sullivan ruled that Sim COX was hit by batted ball thereby cutting off the tieing run. The opin- ion of all eye-witneSses to say noth- ing of Simcox, Joubert, the two men nearest the play were diametrically op- posite to that of the arbiter but that didn't get them anything. When after some talk the carmen started to leave the field Joe's conscience bothered him and he suggested that Flynn bat over again and put Simcox back on second but some of the Taftville men had al- ready gone home. The Shore Line team protested the game to the sporting editor and it will probably be played over unless Taftville can conclusively prove that Sullivan did not err.
 The game was closely contested from start to finish. Taftville scoring one in the first, another in the fourth and three in the eighth. The Shore Line scored one in the fourth and had SCOT ed three in the ninth with another on second when Sullivan pulled his bone. The carmen uncovered new pitcher in the shape of Clish who out pitched his opponent from start to finish. Poor base running on the part of the Shore Line held down their score and poor work in their outfield was responsible for Taftville's tallies. Simcox and Flynn were the batting stars, although Houston got one hit out of his two times at bat. Murphy made the only error marked up against fla Iyi, matters worse by flaming twice. Z Simcox was the grst man up hit to Dugas who failed to field the ball but fine backing up by Joubert retired the man at first. Flynn famed and Love- stole second, Murphy was safe on Simcoxs error.
