When umpire nip" Gabelonl caiiea
| "Jack" Kirwin out on a decision AT
first base for the last man out IN the
! first half of the fifth inning in the
game between Goddard seminary and
st. Michael's college at Goddard camp
us Saturday afternoon, Coach Murphy
of the st. Michael's team refused to go
on with the game, and at the end OF
the official three minutes umpire Ga
beloni forfeited the game to Goddard.
The status of the play was this.
With two men out, King got life
when Ringland interfered with ny
which Kelley would have caught easily.
With King on first, Kirwin hit a hard
grounder to deep short which Ringland
| felded perfectly and threw to Conley
at first. The throw was bad one and
one which drew Conley toward home
plate to catch. According to umpire
Gabeloni the man was out, Coach Muir
phy commended in rather strong Ian
guage that Conley had been drawn off
| the bag to field the ball and in such
case Kirwin was safe. Furthermore, he
said, the decision was Just sequel TO
other similar decisions which the UNI
pire had made and unless a new UNI
pire was installed he would refuse to
allow his team to continue the game
According to the rules of the game an
umpire cannot be reinstated during a
championship game and when coach
| Leahey of Goddard failed to see the
Justice of coach Murphy's stand, he re-
| fused to eject the lump" and the game
| was forfeited.
At the time of forfeit Goddard was
leading by the comfortable margin OF
5 to 0, and with Polli pitching mastery
ball and st. Michael's twirlers having
failed to show any real class, the final
| outcome in Goddard's favor seemed
likely. At this time Goddard had solved
the deliveries of Hale, who started the
game and of Clarke, who succeeded him
| the beginning of the fourth, for four
hits, while St. Michael's could only
| fathom one off Polli in five innings.
The game started out in St. Mi
chael's half of the first as if it would
be fully up to expectations. kirwin,
lead off man, walked. He went away
| round to third on wilkins pretty sac
rifiee, but he was nipped there when he
was caught between third and home
when Mccullough hit to Ringland.
Ringland threw to Vanotti at home and
Kirwin was run down between bases,
the putout being made by Kelley. st.
Michael's still had a chance to score,
however, because Mccullough had gone
around to second on the play, but
Clarke flied to Cyran,
Goddard opened their half of the
inning with three runs and followed
them up in the third and fourth with
run in each. Cyran singled past
third. Wall laid down a pretty bunt,
and when Hale made poor throw TO
first which got by wilkins, Cyran went
to third and Wall to second. Ringland
hit to Murphy at short who tried for
| Cyran at home but was too late. KEEL
ley struck out. With Wall on third and
Ringland on second, Polli singled past
third and scored both runs. Vsnotti
was given a pass. but Finn flied to
Hale and Woodland famed.
In the third Ringland got on on an
error by Murphy, went second on KEEL
ley's sacrifice bunt and scored on POLLS
second hit of the game. After Clarke
had famed the first two men to face
him in the fourth, Cyran took first
when kirwin ran across second base TO
field his hard hit grounder, but failed to
make a good throw to first. Wall was
safe and Cyran went to second when
Kirwin fumbled Walls easy roller and
he scored on clean single by Ring
| land. The score:
