HERALD.
- LEVELAND. Aug. 25.-Yester-
days game won by the
~ Yankees from Cleveland has
been officially protested by Manager
Speaker. lie bases his protest on
the claim that Peclsingpaugh inter-
fered with O'Neill in the ninth in
ming. and that but for the interfer-
encc. Miller would have been out at
third. IT looked more as IL ONeill
tried to interfere with Peck so he
could make double play, and was
the victim OF his own attempt TO put
through a sharp trick.
As the protest involves solely the
question Of the umpireTs judgment it is
hardly likely TO be even entertained.
This is the second New York victory
Speaker has protested this season.

and by no means certain of eventual
success, and are not worried themselves

have been in within a week took place
IN the ninth inning. Private police.
mounted police, punches exchanged.
players fired from the field and a Dom
nybrook time generally made the ninth
as lurid and fcycrish an inning as the
national game has developed in days
upon days. II was more vivacious and
for q time an ugiier affair than the st.
Louis ruction of few days ago, when
the Yankees were there.
Harry Harper and Steve O'Neill cx-
changed the punches about ono each.
Neither landed, but that wasn't their
fault. They We're poor judges Of dis
tsnce. but put their heart In their
swings. The whole row was precipi-

With the game lost, Manager Huggins

of the season with n fractured thumb.
could do. Harper had hot speed and a
wide curve but very little control. He
was doing his best, however. and when
he hit Gardner on the arm everybody
knew ii was accidental.

o'NeiIl Attacks Harper.

4 little later Harper plugged O'Neill
in the back The latter then gave an
exhibition OF poor craftsmanship. O'Nelll
ran out toward the box, picked up the
bail and threw at Harper. IT went TO
left field. Harper bristlcd up and they
met out on the diamond. O'Neill let 80
for the nearest SPOT on Harpcr's coun-
tenance he could reach, and Harper
swung with his left. Both missed a
mile.
Walter Plpp was the first man be-
tween them. then the Umpres, then the
players OF both teams. The park police
were right at their heels. All hands
milled around the box, most Of them
trying to restore order. Hoyt and
Piercy OF the Yanks were In belligerent
mood, and Piercy said something to
somebody which caused him to be
ordered from the field. Hoyt squared
off as if he and Chill were about to
mix It, and was dragged away by the
shirt front by fellow player.
Two mounted policemen charged out
on q gallop and kept watchful eye
on the turmoil and particularly on the
fans who swarmed the field at the finish
Of the game. AS showing who he
thought was to blame for the rumpus.
Chill allowed Harper to continue pitch
ing but ordered O'Neill out of the game.
He was firm In that and was not dis
turbed by the boots and howls OF the
populace. Roman mobs are nothing In
his storm tossed life.
