 Make Effort to Mob Kerin

Nashville. August 22-(SpeciaL)--- Never in the history of Nashville's dozens of pop bottle showers has any thing resembling what took place Sun day in the Dell. It was not a shower. but veritable cyclone of flying glass and rough house of the most pro- nounced type was evident all the way.
 The ball game, which the Pels won by to 1 score, was incidental to the riot. Umpire Kerin was the target for the barrage with Clifford getting a minor share of attack. President J. A. G. Sloan of the Vols was struck in the head by a bottle when he started to climb from his box in the grandstand. but was not seriously hurt. Umpire Clifford was struck in the neck by a bottle. while Kerin managed to evade everything but glancing blows when he rushed toward the crowd in the bleach CT seats. being protected at close range by fifteen-foot wire fence. and later seeking refuge in the New Orleans dugout. along with Umpire Clifford.
 FANS ANGERED
 The anger Of the fans knew no bounds when Kerin called Sewell safe at the plate in the eighth inning. The Pels had been held scoreless until this time. and with two out and Sewen on second. Larry Gilbert doubled to right m plate and Catcher Lees fell across the CTS of the Nashville team claimed that Sewell had hurled all the way, over Lees without touching the plate and had been tagged out by Lees, who was lying on his back over the rubber. It appeared to the stands and press box as if Sewell was out The play tied the score and Cotton Knaupp's single, SCOT ing Gilbert, won the game for the Pels.
 Ballinger was chased from the game -when he protested the decision, and fined along with Cunning, Ellam and Knaupp.
 SHOWER BEGINS
 At the beginning of the ninth, when the New Orleans team took the field. occupants of the bleachers arose en masse and rained bottles at Kerin. Not a policeman was in the park. all being on duty uptown to prevent dis order at the street car strike. which was scheduled at 6 o'clock. Kerin was absolutely without protection and ran in frenzy toward the stands while more bottles came, breaking as they hit against one another in midair and littering the field with glass. Kerin plunged against the fence in an ap- parent effort to get into the stands all though this was what may have saved him serious injury. as the bottles came over the top of the barrier and cleared his head
 Clifford, umpiring on first base line, came and received his share of the missiles. Both arbiters finally ,soughs shelter under the dugout.
 CROWDS UNRULY
 All attempts>to restore order wa Q given the massed boo TOT ten minutes, and when the game finally ended the crowd followed the umpires to their dressing room Five hundred to thou san men and boys remained until riot call brought two patrols and the chief of police car filled with policemen. Sergeants and a lieutenant of police, forty five minutes after the game, finally got the umpires into car and carried them to town. No arrests were made, as officers arrived long afte, the attack had been made and none the fans could be singled out in the throng.
 The Vols made thir only run in the fourth when Cunning scored Ballinger with double after Ballinger had hit safely.
