Decision by Rigler Makes
Victory Easy for Car
dinals Over Dodgers
By A. C. Cavagnaro

Henry Rigler, the umpire, was the
centre of attraction at the thirteen
inning game between the ST. Louis
Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers at
Ebbcts Field, Brooklyn, yesterday. For
twelve innings the teams battled along
on even terms, with Bill Doak, the
Cards twirler, escaping from many
tight squeezes through his own effec-
tiveness. The fun then started, with
the contest terminating in a farce st.
Louis scored eight runs and Brooklyn
one.
With three men on bases IN the
twelfth, Marty Kavanagh, the ST.
thra aSps player play da drove OIL Liner down the
Brooklyn third baseman, made half
hearted attempt to stop it. Rgler
called it fair ball. and before Zach
Wheat had returned the ball Kavanagh
had followed his three team mates
over the plate. Tho Dodger players
then rose up in arms.
They gathered around Riglcr and
protested the decision. To many ,of
the spectators and those in the press
box the ball was foul by several feet.
Several hundred of the fans who were
still in their seats then hurdled fences
on to the field, and the st. Louis play
ers, each with bat, formed Gordon
around Rigler. After a few minutes
the field was cleared and the Brooklyn
players returned to their positions.
Coombs tossed the ball up to the
plate in a nonchalant manner, while
the Brooklyn players only attempted
to field the ball if it came near them.
AS result. the ST. Louis nine scored
three more runs before the inning was
over. Brooklyn's inning ended quickly
when the three batters made half at
tempts to hit the ball
The spectators then scurried on to
the field and clustered around Ripler
on his way to the dressing room, Sew
ersl enraged fans were in the crowd
and one of them smashed a hard right
on Rigler's neck. The mob followed
Rigler to an exit, where he was pro-
tected by several ST. Louis players.
The decisions of both Rigler and
Moran, his assistant, were taken .ex-
cepton to by the Brooklyn players on
many occasions during the game. In
the ninth, Hi Myers was apparently
safe at home plate, but Rigler ruled
otherwise, much to the chagrin of the
Brooklyn team.
Wilbert Robinson, the Dodger man
into action, including Daubert and
Schmandt, his cripples, but was unable
to break his long string of defeats.
Grimes began on the mound for Brook
lyn, but IN turn gave way to Maruuard
after seven innings. Coombs sue
ceeded the Rube in twelfth.
Doak pitched masterful game and
