MOBILE, Ala. April 1.-The battle OF
Mobile Bay was refought this afternoon
in a dry and slightly profane setting on
the shores OF that celebrated body OF
water. When It was all over 1t was
found that Cozy Dolan and George
Kelly of the Giants. as well as Edward
Lauzon, who calls himself an umpire,
had been arrested by the local constabu-
larry and that Lauzon carried a cute
little mouse" over his left eye.
The battle, which was staged mainly
between Dolan. who was coaching at
first base, and Lauzon, who was the
umpire on the paths. was by far the
most exciting and interesting feature OF
a baseball game in which the Athletics,
with the malign assistance of the al
legged umpire, defeated the Giants py
. to q.
For a while it looked as il the fight.
which came Immediately after the thiru
inning, would have serious Developments
as Lauzon drew an open knife and maze
for both Dolan and Kelly. However.
other members Of the New York squad
interviewed and discouraged any knife
play on the part OF the bold, bad UNI
pire, who halls from the Western League
and spends his winters as stevedore
on the Mobile docks.
The climax OF Lauzons work came
when he declared Monroe out at first
base to end the third inning. Monroe
hit q hard one to deep short and Shan
non made the stop none too Clearly ana
the return to first none too fast Monroe
beat the throw by a stride but Lauzon
waved him out.
you're Blind,o Opines Dolan.
"Say, you are as blind as bat"
Dolan opined In thunderous tones IN
the direction of LauZon. adding vari-
Gus trimmings which were not audible
in the stands but seemed to enrage the
umpire.
One word led to another and all OF
a sudden Lauzon led his left for Do
lan's Jaw. Cozy had not been watching
the boxing bouts up in Milwaukee all
winter for nothing As quick as a
fash he countered with right to the
eye and whipped his left to the wind.
The stevedore staggered, but, quickly
recovering, whipped out an open knife
and dived for Dolan and Kelly, who by
this time had taken at least a verbal
part in the doings.
BY this time also the ball park chap
ter Of the Mobile Police Department
had rushed out on the field four strong.
Lauzon struggled to get in cutting
blow and Dolan fought to land another
smash
John McGraw also ran out Of tho
Giants dugout and told Lauzon what
he thought OF his umpiring and his
pulling of an open knife. The police
then decided that Dolan, Kelly and
Lauzon would have to be arrested.
Dolan was taken to the police court.
where he had a bond put up, but Kolly
was allowed to play through the game.
tAA en- etc I'm ha
park, but McGraw wouldn't allow him
to continue as umpire. Walter Gavin,
first baseman of the Mobiles, was
pressed into service as a substitute.
Tonight Dolan and Lauzon got or
ders to show up tomorrow morning for
trial, but 1t looks as II the charge against
Kelly will be dropped.
Umpire Costs Giants Game.
Lauzon's raw decisions cost the Giants
the game. That he was belligerent he
showed in the second inning, when he
started punch for Frisch. who had dis
puted one of his many verdicts.
In the first inning Witt beat out hit
to Young, but Tilly Walker hit into
double play. Lauzon called both men
safe, and the Athletics guffawed. while
the Giants CRASHED their teeth.
Lauzon kept making them wrong, md
made the third his big inning, II war ~
that session that BRAZIL hit home run
over the right field fence. with Tilly
Walker on first, and practically won the
game for the Mackmen. To open that
inning Dykes was declared safe at first.
He was out. but Lauzon decided other
wise. Witt sacrificed and T. Walker
forced Dykes at third. Then BRAZIL hit
his homer--a duplicate of the feat he
performed against the Giants a week ago
at Lake Charles.
The Athletics won with their run In
the fourth. Shannon doubled to centre
and scored when Moore. pinch hitting
for Hasty doubled 10 left
New York got one in the fourth on
Young's double and Kelly's single. and
another in the sixth on Kelly's double
and infield outs by Brown and Curtis
Walker. The Giants should have won by
several runs in spite OF Lauzon. but they
failed to hit with men on the bases. Ten
Giants were left on base. couple OF
double plays also raised Ned with their
scoring endeavors.
Phil Douglas pitched the first five in
nings for New York and Fred Toney fin
ished. Phil allowed four hits and Fred
only three. There was no fault to find
with the Giants hurting. Hasty. Rom
mel and Perry went three innings apiece
for the Athletics. Perry did not allow
a hit.
McGraw announced tonight that he
had released Davenport right handed
pitcher, back to San Antonio. Daven-
port will go back with Gross, shortstop.
but Brown. the third San Antonio grad
uste. has made good.
