early in the season doomed large al

The scientific achievements Of the
players were twice interrupted during
the afternoon. once in the second chap
ter OF the first volume. when Ernest
Quigley. an agile member OF the UNI
pire's battalion Of undecorated heroes
dictated the compulsory retirement OF
Burleigh Grimes, the Dodger pitcher. II
seems that Grimes In acrimonious Ian
suage questioned the correctness OF a
decision at first base. and thus earned
an afternoon of leisure.
Singularly enough. Grimes at the time
or his heated remark to the umpire. was
not In the centre of a storm of hits pro-
PEELED by Boston bats. The boot was on
the other leg. and the pitcher thought
he had made a base hit, whereas Quig-
ley disagreed with him.
The other interruption came In the
Herzos, a peppery member OF the Braves
who was elected from the game at New
York last Sunday by Hank O'Day, re-
sumed the dispute with tho autocrat Of
the diamond and again lost the decision.
Herzog grew wrathful over a decision
at first base when he happened to be the
runner. The umpire did not reverse his
decision and Herzog again retired from
the game.
The Dodgers punched hits on Demaree
In the second inning OF the first game
and the Braves put their hits together
In the first inning of the second game.
These two innings were the decisive ones.
Brooklyns runs in the second inning
OF the FIRST game were due to Myers 8
