New-York tribune., 1919-07-27

Umpire Bill Klein was a worse dip
who returned from the peace confert
a couple of decisions that made the
right by comparison to such fans a.
The Braves won by a final score of 6
defeat ended the Giants run after s
1t was only the fourth time the
the last two years in twenty-seven e
1t is not our custom to crtcise the
low visibility of the umpires, as we
have peculiarly complicated astig-
matism ourself. We think we got that
way through an eye strain developed
in watching for the Yanks to cop
pennant. But the concensus of opin-
ION among those present yesterday
afternoon was that Klem's glims were
badly out of repair.
Let us proceed to the most glaring
instance of the low visibility of Mr..
KLEIN. 1t happened in the seventh in
ming, when the score was to l in
iavor of the Braves. Larry Cheney,
g:ho once worked for Squire Ebbets
to go wild He walked Kauff, made
wild pitch and walked Zimmerman,
while Sergeant Hank Gowdy conversed
n low tones In the patois of the
a. E. F.
Removes Larry Cheney
At signal from George Stallings,
mo sat in box turning a deeper pur-
lie every second, Cheney was removed
Chase came through with a two Dagger
that had a halo of horseshoes around
IT, The ball rolled past Rawlings, who
worked at second after Herzog had
been chased to the showers in the first
inning, ard Kauff scored Snyder
struck out and McCarty, batting for
Oeschger, brought Zimmerman home
With sacrifice fly.
Then Fillingim proceeded to get
early as wild as Cheney. He passed
Burns and Young, filling the bases.
Fletcher rolled a sharp hit through
short, and Chase came flying home.
Hank Gowdy got the throw-in standing
on the plate, and covered the entire
spikes on. but Hank did not bulge an
inch. Spikes we're small matter to
one who had a closeup acquaintance
With bayonets. To the 10000 it looked
as though Burns surely was out, but
Klein waved him safe and the score
vas tied.
The Braves came from all directions
expostulating vociferously, while
George Stallings seemed to be chok
ing to death in his box. 1t looked as
though Bill would have to Danish the
entire team, but he compromised by
chasing Boeckel from the lot.
Had matters remained as they were
something serious might have happened
20 the former miracle man. He was
biting chunks out of the back of his
chair and masticating the wood fever
ishly. But the vulnerability of Jean
Dubuc, coupled with the arch formed
by the legs Of Laughing Larry" Doyle,
gave the Braves the leac again IN the
eighth, and they kept it.
Doyle Aids the Enemy
With Powell out "Red" Smith sin
gled to left and Holke singled to right.
Cruise drove one at Larry Doyle, who
stood to meet it with his legs describ-
ing an artistic but somewhat peril
ously constructed arch. The ball
through the arch and Smith came home
with what proved to be the winning
run.
The first decision that made Bill
KLEIN as unpopular as returning dele
gate from the peace conference was
made in the fourth inning. Fletcher
got base on balls and Doyle fouled
out Then Kauff connected for q
Texas Lacquer over second and Fletcher
proceeded to take third on 1t. Fletcher
and the throw arrived at the bag al
most simultaneously, but reliable
witnesses declare Boeckel dropped the
ball after tagging the runner. KLEIN
called letcher out and the first Boil
shevik movement against the umpire
during the afternoon was inaugurated
McGraw came flying out of the dug
out and addressed himself with great
eloquence to Klein, who appealed tc
Umpire Emslie on the bases. Umpire
Emslie, feeling that he vas in the
class of the weaker nations, preserved
a strict neutrality and refused to be
drawn into the controversy. Fletcher
summoned in from third, paused at the
plate to pass the time Of day with
Klein in the patois of his native state
Texas. 1t looked as though .ot O.
the Giants were due to get the air o.
the club house.
The game started with mutterng
and growlings. Buck Herzog, who wa
nailed trying to stretch a good sine.'
into a close double in the first, starte,
the grabbing and was ordered from tE'
battle field Rawlings took his place.
Giants Start Scoring
The Giants got run in the first OF
single and scratchy two Dagger
Fletcher hit 20 right and scored wher
Rawlings stood and watched poke b,
Larry Doyle scoot under his knees TO
double
The Braves got two in the second
Cruise accepted a base on balls
Maranvlle was safe and reached sec
ond when Hal Chase let his drive sli,
past him Hank Gowdy brought both o
them nome with drive TO right field
In the sixth Cecil Algernon Causey
who started the game for the Giants
began TO tie himself into double bow
knots. Smith started consternatiol
with single to left field. Then Holk
and Cruise were walked in turn
Whereupon McGraw waved the S O
from the dugout and Cecil Algernol
shufhed petulantly from the field to b
replaced by Joe OeschgeA.
Maranville bounced a hit JUS, out o
reach Of Heinie The Zim, and Snitl
and Holke scored. Hank Gowdy bat
ted into double play and Cruis
scored. With the score thus 5 to | il
favor of She Braves il looked as thouvl
they had the ball game all packed ur
20 their own great astonighment.
Mr. Staiiings was preparing li.tl
speech TO be made after the game. II
had gotten az far as, "Unaccustomc
as am 70 winning a ball game whe.
the sad case Of astigmatism was de
veloped by William Klein, and il looke
as though the speech never could b
made
